you are a visionary, nesh. interactive entertainment is the next-gen to "old-fashioned" movies etc.In all honesty, wouldnt it be beautiful for documentary lovers to someday be able to virtually interact with it and not just watch?
its just that the money game must shift to this direction, before anything else.
This trailer is fascinating. If Sony were as smart as Nintendo they'd be able to create a monster hit by turning it into a fun game.
Only only obvious flaw I can see is that the animals look like they have been overlayed into the background, not sure whats causing this but it might be a lighting missmatch. All thats missing is the flies and the smell of dung, its not hard to imagine being right there in Africa.

That was quite something. I wonder what tech they're using for the animation and behaviour? It looked really natural. I've no interest in the title. I watched 15 years of nature programmes before getting fed up of the same thing over and over, and other than technical interest I see no point in spending time watching the same 'cheetah chases down baby gazelle' footage only this time being virtual. But in terms of technology, you can see potentially where this could be taken in the direction of something like a Pokemon or Dinosaur hunter title, creating really realistic living environments. Pokemon like this would be so awesome - Nintendo need to become a cross-platform developer
I'd been overlooking this, but someone told me I had to see the new trailer..and it is very impressive. I don't know, it's hard to explain the appeal, but it's reaching out and grabbing the discovery-channel-watcher in me If the animal behaviour is natural and realistic (and they seem to getting that right), it could be a very relaxing experience. I think 'experience' will probably be the best way to sum up this, rather than 'game'.

I don't want to hunt them. I just want to be able to ram some of them with my jeep is all. PEACE.
I want to give that giraf a headshot with my sniper rifle.
Just taking pictures of the animals would be a waste.
and then use their heads as hood ornaments , brilliant.
No, but seriously this game could be a damn awesome franchise if it allows you not being just a wildlife observer but also a hunter or one of the animals themselfs or a Veterinarian/ranger.
Make it happen Sony
It's not necessary, I just want games to be exciting, competitive and purpose giving. Violence is a simple but effective way to achieve that. Taking pictures seems boring because there's not much of a challenge.
Don't worry, that option will be added as a downloadable MOD for $20! j/k
This game, or an edutainment application, may be nice for education purpose much more than Nintendo DS Brain Training.
Personally I'd like to see a version with dinosaurs or deep-sea fishes.
As a pinko leftie commie environmentalist, I'd like to play as a ranger and hunt down poachers
Anyway, if they really want to make a game from this and not just a - great looking - non-game then they have to make the gameplay more goal oriented. Perhaps different missions for photos you have to take with reward money which you can invest in better lenses (zoom!), or night filming equipment, or a better jeep etc... I wouldn't bet on any of that actually being in the "game" though, I believe it is intended mostly as a graphical showcase - and it certainly does well at that!

Why should every game involve killing?
Its good for a change to have this type of "game"
Sneak up on a rhino. Catch some gnus fucking. Steal a lion's baby. The mission possibilities are endless.
They should rename it though: Animal Voyeur is far better title Sneak up on a rhino. Catch some gnus fucking. Steal a lion's baby. The mission possibilities are endless.
that was funny
