I love the concept, and I'm not really sure why NatGeo and similar sources haven't jumped on this type of "game". Looks good enough.

The hairs look like speedlines, like the giraffe is flying to the right.  :lol

They need to add a hunting mode.

That would be poaching, not hunting.

Bump mapping on the animals? WTF are you talking about, Borys? If anything, there seems to be a lack of noticeable fur, but the sleek style generally works well considering what these animals actually look like.

will we actually get to see predators tear the shit out of their prey?  and will we be able to hit them with the jeep?

You call it what you like, I just want to do some killin'.

Usually I come into PS3 threads to belittle it but this game doesn't look half bad except for the speed giraffe.

This still isn't canceled yet? Really?

It's a shame the animals don't have self-shadowing and the landscape looks awfully boring.  And to those bagging Endless Ocean - well, it was pretty damn good actually.  Plus it doesn't look much worse than Afrika...

bobobo no one ever  hyped this title

Which was awesome.

Was still a pretty dumb idea. I couldn't get killed by a Sting Ray or anything!

There was too much relaxing going on to leave any space for killing or dieing.
At least they didn't make a big deal out of it like Afrika. It just came out and was kinda fun.

Some sort of Procedural technology for the grass probably would have helped out a lot. Randomize that shit, looks like its freakin tiled.

What are you supposed to do?

looks like a non-game photoshoot.

I just like the context.

You remember Pokemon Snap? Its like that but not on rails. You essentially go around and explore the vista, take pictures of the wild life (this is probably turned into Gameplay by giving you points for rarer animals and better poses). Thats about it.

Sounds shitty...

Post by: BlueTsunami on June 08, 2008, 11:29:57 AM
Its like WiiFit in the sense that, you should be doing this shit in real life instead of in a Photo taking simulator.

I dunno. A photo shoot in Africa sounds pretty steep to me.

Go to New Jersey or Disney World and do the African Safari thang. Real life animals > a video game

As long as your camera is equipped with a fucking gigantic telephoto lens, I'm sure there's lots to see.
