This new TGS trailer probably gets closer than ever before to suggesting that you'll actually need a controller to take in the Afrika [working title] experience. If this clip is any indication, you will be taking pictures of animals, and also driving a jeep through a herd of them, which seems inadvisable at best. Don't miss TGS 08, when Sony will unveil Afrika [working title]'s petting mechanics.

Thanks for using all caps to make that point. Otherwise I fear my eyes would not have been able to make out the genius of your angry rant. Kids and their caps locks are so cute.
BTW, congrats on your 10th birthday! I know its not here yet, but you know, we all want it to be special.

As a mini fan of the Halo series I gotta say the graphics of 3 aren't warming my crotch.

Still avoiding games, eh Sony?

I guess Sony didn't get the memo that graphics do not make a great game. This looks like a piece of crap that Sony should have pushed out as a launch title to show off the systems capabilities. This is way too little, way too late.

Dude! I can't wait to watch someone play this... This looks amazing. I'd watch someone play it just to see the giraffe alone! I love giraffes.

I hope Afrika [Working Title] eventually gets a sequel. It can be called Afrika [I Think We've Settled On This Title For Now].

The funny part is that the gfx weren't even that hot. Ground textures had no depth, water was just plain pathetic...wtf happened to real grass?? Hell crysis would make a better Afrika game than Afrika would. crongrats on a fantastically terrible tech demo. Can we talk about something interesting?

Looks awesome, but dear God could they lose that awful MIDI music? It's the 21st century!

Count me in as long as I can run over the wildlife in the Jeep.

If the game was just missions to prank on wild beasts this game would be a day one must buy. Mission 3: Dump a bucket of ice on a sleeping jackal and run to the safety zone. You get points for not getting mauled and taking pics of the animals looking as stupid as possible.

I assume it is a game where you photograph animals. IF that is true, that game is going to sell very very well because the casual game players will like it. Kids will like it. Girls will like it (you know, the other half of the population). I wouldn't expect I would find it particularly interesting, but I would buy it for my kids. It will be a big hit (sales wise), and if you degenerate adolescents can't see that so much the worse for you.

Is it another interactive screensaver?

I propose that it is Sim City, only with wilderness instead of asphault and zebras instead of people.
And like Sim City, it won't actually be fun.

Needs more mudkips. But meh, real men go into the wild and photograph real savage animals!
Just kidding... it looks impressive indeed. ^^ I'd kill to have a Steve Irwin avatar, even if it's about photography. Just bug the hell out of the rhino and run away with it. xD

I bet its a poaching game, akin to GTA and the like.

So, Sony is now licensing one of the sixty-three titles offered by Nintendo's archaic music library?

Will there be animal humping(animal vouyeur photographer XD) and lions attacking and eating zebras?
Then it's not a good game. :P
The game is looking good. It's like Pokemon Snap, but in the form of a good game. XD

I don't really see the appeal to this game, but if you can go on a fucking giraffe killing, prairie dog stomping, ostrich fucking frenzy, count me in.
Also, driving that jeep over some unsuspecting rhinos would be awesome (well... Ramming them, atleast).
Animal Cruelty FTW!!!

Its just a game where you either take pictures of wild animals or videos but the think is the A.I. of every animal depending on spicies or even gender.

Hmmmm, I live in Africa and I've never even been to a game reserve. I suppose this would be my chance to see one without having to drive the few 100 kilometers.
Cool, so my PS3 lets me be apathetic about my own country's tourism industry and saves me from making toilet in the bush ;)
