Not just Pokemon Snap.
Afrika is actually looking pretty slick. My interest pretty much all hinges on how the animal AI reacts to the camera man. I want the animals to react how they would in the real world. I also want to be killed by a hippo. Did you know that hippos are by far the most dangerous animal in Africa? That's right kids; hippos kill more people every year than all other African animals combined. To them, we are just white plastic marbles.
Oh, and I hope I don't have to drive around for 20 minutes looking for a pride of lions. That's right, I know my animal clusters.
I find it funny that people seem much less interested in Afrika now that it is somewhat of a known quantity. This game good be big in appealing to the more casual PS3 owners who perhaps bought the game for its Blue Ray functionality. All those people who bought Planet Earth on BD might also lean towards picking this "game" up. I wonder if Sony is even going to bother pushing this game over here.
David and Nick picked up Endless Ocean, so I'm curious about how they feel about this game. Though I doubt petting is aloud.

Ahhh, sweet. Afrika was actually one of the games that made me lean towards buying a PS3 when I saw the stills last winter.
This looks awesome. I liked the idea of Pokemon Snap, this is like if someone did it over with actual class and intelligence. I'm dorkily excited for the camera options ingame.
Endless Ocean is a neat approach to the whole "viewing" game style instead of interacting. I liked it, hope you guys do too.
Thanks for the links.
I'm just afraid Afrika will just feel like a hunting game, but instead of shooting a gun you take pictures. Hunting games usually are not very fun.
but who know, it certainly looks like a interesting idea.
