If it's anything like Pokemon Snap I'll bust a nut.

The concept doesn't seem all that bad, but it sounds to me like the game is suffering from hardcore technical problems that would destroy the experience. The fact that areas are broken up by loading zones, invisible boundaries exist, and even IGN claims the framerate is unstable would be enough to keep me away. If the "game" is about exploring this world you'd think they would spent time on making sure it felt like a complete, open world.

me too. however it looks much more boring :(

I am excited only for the mention of Pokemon Snap, but this game is in dire need of custom soundtracks. Ambiance of Africa is all cool and all, but for the entirety of the game I would want some good stuff to go along with it.

:-\
So the message of this commercial is ''dont buy me Im boring''??!? A new low for the sony marketing department altough its nice to see they're telling the truth about theyr own product. Pokemon snap never worked.
Sony should steal the MS marketing people from the Mojave project. If that helps to sell that turd of an OS than surely they can help to sell this game

Uh, what? Pokemon Snap is awesome. The camera mechanic in Dead Rising is awesome. Having another point based photography mechanic also has a high chance of being awesome in this.

i don't think anyone truly knows exactly what to expect with Afrika. It's something!
"and even IGN claims the framerate is unstable would be enough to keep me away"
if the Yamanote line video footage frame rate is anything to go by, i think you should avoid this!
I had no intentions of buying it, to be honest. The concept seems moderately interesting, but the execution sounds pretty bad.

Snap is like the first motorstorm. Really good from the beginning but after a while it gets boring since its the same thing over and over again. Afrika will be even worse since it looks like its the same environment troughout the whole game. They should make some dense jungles and shit. Also it has to have a large amount of different animals.

New trailer.
The difference in quality between characters/objects in the world from the actual ground/world itself is quite jarring.
