Famitsu has confirmed that Afrika will be arriving on the PS3 in August 28, 2008.
You are a photographer, who takes photo's of the animals using Jeeps, Hot Air Ballons and more to get the perfect photo's.
That illustrious Sony press event on February 20th is just one week away, and with the PS4 reveal entirely possible (in a huge venue nonetheless), we wanted to end our three weeks of PS4 questions on the games. So, the PlayStation LifeStyle staff was asked:
Which Launch Title Would Make You Buy a PS4?
-PSLS
Uncharted 4 (Got Vita day 1 because of Golden Abyss)
Gran Turismo 6
Killzone 4
The Getaway... would be epic, think Sony cancelled that because the PS3 couldn't handle a fully mapped City of London with HD visuals.
Idk uncharted 4 will be like a bonus..
for me it will be more like the PS4! And the new technology ..
good games will come out eventually ..
But if it launch with
Killzone or a new GG IP, or MS4, TLOU I will make lines a day before!! Or will find a way to get it earlier from the "black market"
it doesn't matter to me because it is a day one purchase regardless of the games...This is the same with the new Xbox also...
Are we sure there will be one? I mean, look at the history of Naughty Dog. Crash 1-3(PS1), Jak and Daxter 1-3(PS2), Uncharted 1-3(PS3). Those are main games sure, but they seem as if they like making new trilogies for each generation.
The Last Guardian or FF Versus XIII.
(I know they are supposed to be PS3 games)
WHAT GAME WILL MAKE YOU BUY A PS4??
any game that not a first person shooter,multiplat.
GRAN TURISMO 6, NEW RATCHET AND CLANK, SLY COOPER,JAX AN DAXTER,NEW GRADIUS, NEW NEED FOR SPEED, HD METAL SLUG,CONTRA......
Need for speed nahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhhhhhhh
That picture feels so inappropriate... but it's just a rocket with Kaz's face... right? Is that the first look at a first party launch game?
Not really. If I tried to be specific, I'd come up with SO MANY titles.
Legend of Dragoon
Gran Turismo
Uncharted
Killzone
.hack
Xenosaga
Valkyria Chronicles
And probably a good thirty I can't think of.
The thing I'm wondering about the next gen consoles is, for example, whether we'll see a second round of titles like Crysis 3 come out for them. You know, it'll initially launch on PS3, 360 and PC ... but then down the road will the new consoles get a version with improved graphics, etc. !!! Ya? Na?
I'm expecting this with GTA V, and wouldn't be surprised to see an upgraded version of Bioshock Infinite
IGN:
Last week, we brought you the games that time forgot - those games stuck in development limbo that they may never escape. But there's another category of lost games: the ones that never make it out of Japan. Back in the PlayStation 2 era (and the SNES era before that), there were hundreds and hundreds of them every year. Now there are many fewer, but the odd one still slips through the net.
A quick glance through this generation's consoles reveals a range of gems which have sadly never been given the chance to shine on the global stage. While there's always the option to import, wouldn't it be wonderful if we could forget about exchange rates and taxes and pick up these titles a little closer to home?
BigShinyRobot: Afrika is Rhino Studio’s first attempt at creating a game on the PS3. Unfortunately, reviews have been mostly unfavorable as it just doesn’t appeal to most audiences. Most people I talk to about it just assume that it’s just insanely boring. Actually, I’d be willing to bet that most gamers today who would even turn it on wouldn’t last 15 minutes before switching it out for Call of Duty or Grand Theft Auto. The reason, I believe, is that modern gamers need that constant barrage of stimulation to the senses and this game is presented at a much slower pace. However, I have always been a huge supporter of new ideas because the thought of another cookie-cutter FPS makes me gag. I will admit that my first impressions of Afrika were……well, a bit off.
i wanted this game a lot, but when i tried it it sucked a lot.
It could have been very good game if:
1. Huge open world
2. Rpg elements, like stats how long you survived in the wild, what you acomplished, many side quests, secrets, seling rare photos and for cash buying all kinds of cool items and so on.
But i repeat first and most important thing should have been huge open world and freedom.
It's not that the game sucked, you just don't have a passion for animals and a lot of patience.
This game focuses on the habitats of real animals, not pokemon.
it also goes on to show you the lifestyle, in a sense, of a photographer who takes pictures of animals for a living.
The game takes a very realistic point of view, it doesn't do fantasy which is why people like you dislike the game.
you do not get me, i liked the idea a lot and it could have been very good game. (i like animals)
If it would be posibble to have freedom and huge area to explore not instanced missions it would have been much better game.
The areas are already huge, the sense of how big they actually are would really sink in if we didn't have the jeep to drive around in.
Also any game would be far more awesome, or at least we may think (sometimes areas are too big for one's liking), with bug areas but it also puts a strain on what is within that environment. Notice that the biggest area had the most open space? That's to reduce lag with so much going on at once in a small area. It is easy to spot a slight lag in animal movements when driving really fast in a tight area.
Edit: What I'm trying to say is enjoy it for what it is, not what you want it to be or could of been.
Well, the mysterious Afrika is finally coming. I will be trying this, I have been curious about it for a while now, and if it is some sort of Pokemon snap in a realistic safari setting, it should be a great time sink.
is that in-game graphics?
Well, i can therefore officially say i am not at all interested. I had high hopes for this game, it turns out to be crap.
too bad.
It's crazy how we keep getting a tons of games this year for the PS3 and so far the only bad games we've got is Haze and Lost Plante everything else has been AAA title back to back each month. From July untl the end of Sepmber we will be getting a ton of PSN titles and features, it really is a great time to be a PS3 owner and this is just a start and s only going to get better.
If so then it could be a nice change of pace.
