Afrika - TGS 2007 trailer

Was kinda thinking this one had fallen by the wayside. Glad to see something is still moving along. ^_^

Now where the hell is FF13?!! Heh...
 
Or just VLC :p

Anyway, Sony should make this game into a MMOFPS, with poachers vs. park rangers. Or make it a hunting sim :D
 
Animal models look great in the trailer, too bad I seem to be the only one impressed.

I would like to play a lion instead. ;)
 
Agreed, some of them look great (not all, but I'd even say most) and the animation is awesome.
 
That's what I thought he said lol. (it was early, didn't read it properly)

It's all a bit Pokemon Snap isn't it. Such a waste of a clearly brilliant 3d engine.
 
What's odd about this game is that it's got decent graphics but it's also one of the very first new IP's revealed for PS3 yet we don't know anything about the gameplay. I'm thinking it's either going to have VERY original/good gameplay that we haven't seen any resemblance of in any other game or it's mainly a tech demo but having a bunch of animals on an african plain isn't exactly a good premise for a tech demo game. I'm really curious what the gameplay is.

Well what did you want to do? Go around shooting the animals? I don't think Sony want to promote poaching...perhaps eggs.

How about Africa being part of HOME? If you feel like a holiday, you can take your HOME avatar into Africa and take a few snaps...
 
Should be a good one for the casuals, if anything. I certainly see my wife want to play this, which is a rare thing TM.
 
I think it'll be one of those "chill-out" games, like flOw, which do not stress the "gamer" with achievements and scores and progress and death.
If the animals show good AI, it'll be fun watching them go on about their routines, but if they just go some predefined paths and routines, I think it'll become boring soon after the initial amazement of the graphics has passed.

Do you think it'll be like that one cancelled xbox 1 game "BC" where the animals have a food chain and move depending on season/food source? Would be really awesome if you could see something that dynamic. I'm guessing it's main gameplay is a pokemon snap type of game but with some sort of twist.

Something exciting would be preferable.

How about hunting/avoiding being hunted (animal on animal) that might work.
 
How about a "sims africa"?

Instead of people, you pick an animal.

If they keep up with the animation and the ai, it would be fun just to watch them interact.

I wonder if Sony or the devs have any idea what the 'game' will be at this point. :LOL:

Could be the dev just started of RD on this thing and kept pushing forward, but it is odd that after all this time, we have no idea about gameplay.
