I bet all this picture taking of rare species in Afrika is just a cover for the IRIS Network...

Can you be killed in game by an annoyed meerkat? That'd be awesome.

All fine and dandy until the zombies show up.
But seriously, is that guy wearing a toque?

My question is, will the animals attack you if you invade thier territories? Are there animal pouchers in this game? Imaginge you can cause a stampede and reenact the Lion King's scene where Simba...
Ok those are just wishful thinking.

Part of me is hoping for the "choose good or evil" style of play, where you can choose to photograph or shoot the endangered animals. I know, I'm a terrible person, but I really can't think of a game I've played where I haven't killed or beaten the hell out of something... Oh! Trauma Center! Okay I feel like less of a terrible person- I saved virtual lives.
In closing, this game looks awesome.

Chris,
Come on. Are you trying to tell me that you've never become so frustrated during a Trauma Center surgery that you didn't wildly slash your patients lungs until he drowned in his own virtual blood?!
...because I've never done that...

It's nice, but I think I'd like it more if you had to survive in the wild too. Or take your safety into account with wild animals. I mean, can you walk up to a cheetah's face and take a picture of it without getting mauled? When the animals feast on each other, is there blood? I have a feeling Sony might castrate Afrika's gore a la Liar to keep it E.

You could never get up to a Cheetah's face in real life. It wouldn't maul you, it would run from you. Cheetah are the smallest of the big cats and are not very hardy (light weight means they can run fast), so they run from things that approach them.

I don't want this to turn into some chore game like Lost in Blue. I also don't want this game to be overly difficult, I want to observe animals, learn about them, and take stunning photos. I would appreciate playing as a journalist and getting a score in the form of money for my wildlife photos. I hope that this game has a lot of animals, and a checklist so I know which ones I've found, like a pokedex, or a birdwatcher's manual.

I'm into it! This looks even cooler than I first thought with the revealing of the cameras, remote control car, and night photography. But like I mentioned in the last Afrika post, I'm one of those weird people that played the underwater exploration game 'Aquanaut's Holiday' on the PS1 and liked the photography gameplay in 'Beyond Good and Evil.'

Think this game has a pokeflute so you can lull some of the more aggressive beasts for a great photo?

Afrika A.K.A Pokémon Snap next-gen.
This game would great if you could go after illegal Hunters.

If they want this game to sell they better add alot of gory cheap deaths.

By the most awkward and inexplicable urges, if I had a PS3, I'd buy this game in a heartbeat for its production values, for daring to be different, and also for the valuable knowledge it has to share.
The only way to make this game better is to have pokeballs.

Imagine this as an MMO.

Give me a chainsaw machine gun (Lancer) from gears of war and put me in that game. Now that would be fun! Chasing animals through the Afrika landscape. Then BBQ them up! Tasty!

Well, Shane called it, it is pokemon snap. I hope they find a way to get enough gameplay into make a game of it. Snap had a huge advantage of their being lots of kinds of pokemon and the 3D models were already created, so they could include a lot of them. I'll be interested in how this game gets around that there are really only about 35 different creatures to take pics of.

Now THIS looks cool. I could actually convince myself to pick up a console for this prior to FF. Anyone know when this gets released?
