Today's wildest video: Wolf Quest

by Zack Stern on Aug 1st 2007 12:00AM

In what could be the greatest game trailer of all time, this Wolf Quest video introduces the December, 2007 simulation title. You play a wolf capable of forming a pack with other players online, where you do wolfy things, like hunting, peeing on stuff, and howling. The game, being released through the Minnesota Zoo, will be a free Mac/PC download.

The trailer strikes an uncanny balance of mediocre (read: hilarious) production values and game content that genuinely looks fun. While the educational game may skew towards a younger audience, any animal fan might enjoy the title.

Screw Okami and Twilight Princess. See the new alpha dog after the break.

Looks bad. Very bad.

Zomg, the death of online RP! All you need now is a dragon thingy, a Harry Potter thingy, a "high school" thingy, etc... damn kids. >_

Looks terrible, but the concept of an animal MMO where you could get like 50 buddies hanging off an elephant trying to take him down with everyone who took him down getting an extra awesome meal that levels you up or something would be awesome.

I'm with you, the basic idea is intriguing and I hope someone else picks up on it. Okami did an interesting thing where you could "see" scents, and doing something like that with a MMO Animal game would be really interesting.

You've just given me an idea for an MMO. Basically, you get to choose to be an animal in the animal kingdom and you interact with other players who have chosen other animals.

Work your way through the food chain. ;)

I'm SO buying that when it comes out.

Oh joy! An MMO version of the website this very special Something Awful article talks about!

Part of me is ashamed to admit this, but I've done IRC Wolf roleplay.....I know. It's entertaining at times, whatever.

But this brings a new aspect to it, I've always wondered if something like this would ever be released or not, and now, here it is..and all I can say is, hellz yeah.

Aroo roo roo!

Looks good. try that WoW!

nice! I live in minnesota, no idea this was going to happen though... The zoo is legit here.

Well what are you expecting? Next gen game for free?

Raise pupps?

Hot dog controversy? O:

Is there something wrong with my pic?
It hasn't shown up yet and I uploaded it this morning.

ohh yes... I SMELL ELK!

It looks like 'A Dog's Life' engine with some tweaks. Even the music sounds very reminicent of that game. Perhaps they hired the same team to make this game?

oh jesus, its gonna be all furries on that thing. I'm already frightened...

i know man. they're gonna hook up online with elementary kids playing this and they'll be sexual predators

it's sad

this game looks pretty cool actually

.. teaming up with 100 other wolves and take out an enemy pack ..yes

sounds amazing

sexual predators?

Nah, they're gonna be real predators.

Oh yea.

I helped design some of WolfQuest in late 06/early 07. And I can confirm that it is not the same team that created "A Dog's Life". It's being built with the Unity3D engine. Should be a great title when it comes out, and it's great to see it getting coverage on Joystiq.

The first person to find a player on this game without one bizarre fetish or another wins.

Make that "on this site" ;)

am I the only one seeing people abuse the 'I own this' macro? :P

man I just wandered some years ago a game like this

now I will be able to play it for real

I'm going to pwn those elk, and teabag the shit out of them...

so... which was teh tank?

Awesome! I was just looking for a game to play when I'm wearing my sweet wolf shirt!

Man, HTF do I change my picture?

Click your name and sign in with your password to the right (you have to click 'Are You Baby Sea Tuna?' before the form will appear. Once you've logged in you can change your avatar and such.

I dunno. For a free game, it looks pretty fun.

It acculy looks kinda fun. I'd make a pack that just goes around kicking the shit out of all the other packs!
XD

Hah, I started playing the video demonstration from that site and my dog went nuts.

WORLD OF WOLFCRAFT! omg teh pwnz0rz i pwned j00 lololol!!!~1

I'm not knocking it til I try it. Sure, it doesnt look the best, but come ON, it's free and possibly very educational for young students.

Hey, maybe they'll be in many grade school computer labs across the country if successful. Remember Oregon Trail?

Now if you dare diss on Oregon Trail I'm gonna make a rope out of your pubic hair and strangle you with it.

And to Derick's reply: HIGH FIIIVE!

oregon trail ruled, but i preferred yukon trail after it came out, you could make hella bank by staring during the gold nugget under the cup game

and of course the carmen sandiegos were awesome too, i had the high score all year :)

I'd like to point out that this game was done before. Early 90's. PC game called Wolf. Was actually very entertaining. It was followed up by Lion, but it was the same game with a different graphics pallet.
