It's an interesting looking game, the graphics are great. There isn't enough detail on the game to figure out whether the gameplay will live up to the graphics.

Bonsai12145993d ago

last i heard, it was just an interactive safari. i've also heard details about how you can take control of animals or something and move them around, but those were never confirmed.

but much to everyone's disappointment, you won't be able to hunt :-p

sonarus5993d ago

hahaha wtf. why wud u wanna hunt those animals lol. I think the graphics are great and i like wat sony is doing making different types of games to really diversify their games library. They need to offer a demo cus i really dnt see any1 goin out on a limb to pay for this

aceitman5992d ago (Edited 5992d ago )

if anyone paid attention to the to e3 you would know when they showed and talked about this game that they mentioned it was going to be an eventure game basically you will be hunting and protecting yourself from danger and searching for things and puzzles .

BrianC62345992d ago

"but much to everyone's disappointment, you won't be able to hunt"

Disappointment? It doesn't need hunting. Why do you have to kill the animals? The game looks like you hunt down animals to shoot with your camera. That would be enough. It looks interesting. Definitely different than anything else out there.

xmod5992d ago

You play as a poucher and try to get as many animals on the endangers species list (or off it through extinction) as possible.

BTW, when is this game coming out for the Xbox 360. I can't wait for it to go green!

Bathyj5992d ago

when I first saw this game I wanted to hunt. But as a predator not a human. (Thats animal predators, not aliens, der).

I thought of a game years ago I would have called carnivore where you need to stalk prey and hunt for food to feed you and your young. The whole thing needed to have a living eco system.

This game could do it be I suspect it might be more like shooting a Doco and getting good footage.

One things for sure, no other system will have a game like this I think. I love how sony always trys something new.

gerrard5992d ago

Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha!

If they attempted to put it on 360 it will explode.

PS3Freak5992d ago

apparently we have alot of hippies on this site (if you know what im talking about) oooooo we dont have to hunt the poooor animals.

neogeo5992d ago

Afrika will get a 9.9 or maybe the very first perfect 10 from IGN.
This is the kind of game I have been dreaming about. I'm so sick of killing things.

Don't be shocked if this game gets more hype, sales then Halo. Its a 5 million plus seller 100%

Also if you click on my history of comments you will see that I have never been wrong about these things.

iLemon5992d ago

Wow looks amazing. If you interested in filming your own national geographic shows and enjoy disney musicals.

THUNDERMARE5992d ago (Edited 5992d ago )

xmod..
FYI, this game is published by Studio Japan, and you guess who is the owner??? ohh laa you got it, Sony !! so it will never go green.

Blackfrican5992d ago

Hell yeah! Pokemon Snap is back baby. If you can take pictures of these animals say goodbye to WII and 360.

I hope u can run over animals with that jeep..it's like u try to run over a elephant while ur drunk driving in Afrika filming every second. I wonder what the elephant would do...but ya hunting would be cool I guess, if thats all u think about is shooting throughout the whole game then it's stupid...

I hope the animals could attack the humans, in a funny way....imagine a lion chasing u and u have to run back to ur jeep...that would pretty scary with a DS3 controller..

The Killer5992d ago

they will allow the player to see through the predator eyes when they are hunting or even let u control the animals like running or attacking with them!! THAT will make the game really cool!!

n00dl3s5992d ago

2 and 2.1 don't reproduce.... Is it seriously THAT dissapointing for a game to be about experiencing wildlife and NOT have the option of murdering it? I mean I am all for blowing the hell out of things. Most of my favorite game experiences involve gratuitous violence. However, you won't find me going "wow this guitar hero game is crap because I can't beat my manager to death with the guitar."

MikeGdaGod5992d ago

if you could beat the manager to death, i'd go out and buy that game right now.

wind_dragon5992d ago

is that wat video games r about now-a-days? u ppl make me lose faith in humanity, cause u guys obviously have non. try something new for once...that doesn't include killing in a new way. geez, no wonder society is so f***ed up. This is y i'm moving to japan!

crazy250005993d ago

this is kinda lame.......unless they make it like national geographic and they teach you a whole lot with videos and interaction, then i would consider this game

BrianC62345992d ago

This is what is bad about gaming today. Opinions like yours. Why is Afrika bad? It's a different game. Better than just a bunch of games with a new number at the end. Gamers need to be more open minded when it comes to new ideas. I'm not saying Afrika will be the game of the year but at least give it a chance. Sony is trying new ideas at least.

Oilers Fan5992d ago

Well he said is is lame...unless you can learn about the animals. I see nothing wrong in that opinion. IMO the game would be very lame if all you do is take pictures of them. I would honestly consider picking up the game if infact, you do learn about the animals rather then just play the game. With all that said, I do think the game will have all the learning aspects involved. And I also think you dont just take pictures, there must be more involved in the game.

sketchy2k5992d ago

IF devs get their research right surely you will learn about animals, their habitat, their behaviour, likely reactions, aggression etc, perhaps what they eat- all by observation. I think it would make more sense to use disc-space for coding then have any info provided by links to a specific support website auto-startup through internet browser. Of Course this is just my opinion, like yours where you believe it will be 'lame'. Don't start a big discussion about the use of BRD and the space they have free, i wouldn't want what was essentially a nature show, i want to learn in new ways with ultra-realistic animals, landscapes etc (used by tons and tons of textures - utilising BRD space and a huge open gaming terrain).

peksi5992d ago

I'm so full of FPS games. Mom please make them stop.

I salute all those who dare to try something different. Besides they've been doing Afrika for ages... almost so long it makes me wonder what the frell are they up to? Home goes Afrika! Or maybe not...

Fluffy2Duffy5992d ago (Edited 5992d ago )

'K' for the Afrika word is our Afrikaans language and if thy did say 'C'in Africa, that wil be the English word, im from Namibia where i was born in South Africa. Wel i think this wil be an intresting 'GAME' where u might hunt animals or explore, if not it wil be a nice screen saver like the Aqua fish tank. Maybe thy bringing a closer versio game like the PC Afrika game. Sound good!!

nobizlikesnowbiz5992d ago

Been trophy hunting in South Africa before. Afrikaans is crazy sounding language. A bit of a mix between Dutch and native African languages if I remember correctly right?

DrWan5993d ago

Don't let your hopes down, eventhough you weapon of choice is just a camera. some interesting game mechanics can come out of this. Not saying it's Fatal-Frame type quality but something definately can be brewing, i just don't see Sony internal studio spending such a huge amount of resources on a game that won't make a splash. Most of Sony internal studio games have proven success so far, with the except probably to Genji so far.

Which Launch Title Would Make You Buy a PS4?

That illustrious Sony press event on February 20th is just one week away, and with the PS4 reveal entirely possible (in a huge venue nonetheless), we wanted to end our three weeks of PS4 questions on the games. So, the PlayStation LifeStyle staff was asked:

Which Launch Title Would Make You Buy a PS4?
-PSLS

playstationlifestyle.net
TrendyGamers4092d ago

Uncharted 4 would definitely make me buy one.

Relientk774092d ago

That's exactly the game I want

blitz06234092d ago

Killzone 4
NEW Naughty Dog IP

RGB4091d ago

Uncharted 4 (Got Vita day 1 because of Golden Abyss)
Gran Turismo 6
Killzone 4

The Getaway... would be epic, think Sony cancelled that because the PS3 couldn't handle a fully mapped City of London with HD visuals.

unchartedxplorer4092d ago

Maybe Gran Turismo 6.. now that'll be awesome

Hanif-8764092d ago

If that's a release title i'd buy two PS4's ;-)

JoGam4092d ago

I'll buy all so far. No game i heard coming out seems wack.

akaakaaka4092d ago

Idk uncharted 4 will be like a bonus..

for me it will be more like the PS4! And the new technology ..
good games will come out eventually ..

But if it launch with
Killzone or a new GG IP, or MS4, TLOU I will make lines a day before!! Or will find a way to get it earlier from the "black market"

Saigon4092d ago

it doesn't matter to me because it is a day one purchase regardless of the games...This is the same with the new Xbox also...

Snookies124091d ago

Are we sure there will be one? I mean, look at the history of Naughty Dog. Crash 1-3(PS1), Jak and Daxter 1-3(PS2), Uncharted 1-3(PS3). Those are main games sure, but they seem as if they like making new trilogies for each generation.

HarryMasonHerpderp4091d ago

The Last Guardian or FF Versus XIII.
(I know they are supposed to be PS3 games)

4091d ago
morkendo234091d ago (Edited 4091d ago )

WHAT GAME WILL MAKE YOU BUY A PS4??

any game that not a first person shooter,multiplat.

GRAN TURISMO 6, NEW RATCHET AND CLANK, SLY COOPER,JAX AN DAXTER,NEW GRADIUS, NEW NEED FOR SPEED, HD METAL SLUG,CONTRA......

superterabyte4091d ago

Need for speed nahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhhhhhhh

Wedge194092d ago

That picture feels so inappropriate... but it's just a rocket with Kaz's face... right? Is that the first look at a first party launch game?

TrendyGamers4092d ago

Will it be called Rocket Launcher Extreme?

Shadow Flare4092d ago

It should be called Kazooka!

4092d ago
Godmars2904092d ago

Something I'd like to play which is actually playable?

Too general?

Hicken4092d ago

Not really. If I tried to be specific, I'd come up with SO MANY titles.

Legend of Dragoon
Gran Turismo
Uncharted
Killzone
.hack
Xenosaga
Valkyria Chronicles

And probably a good thirty I can't think of.

thirtyandnerdy4092d ago

The thing I'm wondering about the next gen consoles is, for example, whether we'll see a second round of titles like Crysis 3 come out for them. You know, it'll initially launch on PS3, 360 and PC ... but then down the road will the new consoles get a version with improved graphics, etc. !!! Ya? Na?

Fyflin4092d ago

I'm expecting this with GTA V, and wouldn't be surprised to see an upgraded version of Bioshock Infinite

ftwrthtx4092d ago

It needs a new IP with a pedigreed developer

doctorstrange4092d ago

Pedigreed? Is that like Activision?

ftwrthtx4092d ago

A developer with a pedigree would be Naughty Dog or David Cage

The Best Games Never to Get a Worldwide Release

IGN:
Last week, we brought you the games that time forgot - those games stuck in development limbo that they may never escape. But there's another category of lost games: the ones that never make it out of Japan. Back in the PlayStation 2 era (and the SNES era before that), there were hundreds and hundreds of them every year. Now there are many fewer, but the odd one still slips through the net.

A quick glance through this generation's consoles reveals a range of gems which have sadly never been given the chance to shine on the global stage. While there's always the option to import, wouldn't it be wonderful if we could forget about exchange rates and taxes and pick up these titles a little closer to home?

Reconsidering PS3′s Afrika

BigShinyRobot: Afrika is Rhino Studio’s first attempt at creating a game on the PS3. Unfortunately, reviews have been mostly unfavorable as it just doesn’t appeal to most audiences. Most people I talk to about it just assume that it’s just insanely boring. Actually, I’d be willing to bet that most gamers today who would even turn it on wouldn’t last 15 minutes before switching it out for Call of Duty or Grand Theft Auto. The reason, I believe, is that modern gamers need that constant barrage of stimulation to the senses and this game is presented at a much slower pace. However, I have always been a huge supporter of new ideas because the thought of another cookie-cutter FPS makes me gag. I will admit that my first impressions of Afrika were……well, a bit off.

Ramas4583d ago

i wanted this game a lot, but when i tried it it sucked a lot.
It could have been very good game if:
1. Huge open world
2. Rpg elements, like stats how long you survived in the wild, what you acomplished, many side quests, secrets, seling rare photos and for cash buying all kinds of cool items and so on.

But i repeat first and most important thing should have been huge open world and freedom.

rezzah4583d ago

It's not that the game sucked, you just don't have a passion for animals and a lot of patience.

This game focuses on the habitats of real animals, not pokemon.

it also goes on to show you the lifestyle, in a sense, of a photographer who takes pictures of animals for a living.

The game takes a very realistic point of view, it doesn't do fantasy which is why people like you dislike the game.

Ramas4582d ago

you do not get me, i liked the idea a lot and it could have been very good game. (i like animals)
If it would be posibble to have freedom and huge area to explore not instanced missions it would have been much better game.

rezzah4582d ago (Edited 4582d ago )

The areas are already huge, the sense of how big they actually are would really sink in if we didn't have the jeep to drive around in.

Also any game would be far more awesome, or at least we may think (sometimes areas are too big for one's liking), with bug areas but it also puts a strain on what is within that environment. Notice that the biggest area had the most open space? That's to reduce lag with so much going on at once in a small area. It is easy to spot a slight lag in animal movements when driving really fast in a tight area.

Edit: What I'm trying to say is enjoy it for what it is, not what you want it to be or could of been.
