Gazz posted a link in another thread to a game recently revealed called Afrika.

Details seem to be really sparse at the moment as to what you actually do in the game, so I thought it would be fun to see if we can figure it out.

My guess... you play a Gamekeeper or preservationist working to save endangered species. (Yeah, I think its a treehugger game)

I love how the guy is taking pictures of a Rhino from a few feet away. If you ever get a chance to do the same, don't!

I guess this game will be all about getting close to animals to make a documentary or something about, My Canon EOS 400D has optical zoom for that. This was shown on TGS and will be probably only be released on a very low scale in Europe and the US. This game will do great in Japan no doubt.

Got to love the part where they are driving in the midst of a herd of wildebeasts. Looks like it has a pretty idyllic view of how tolerant animals are to humans.

Anyway, guess not many people are interested in playing along

No wonder no one here is interested in playing along, this type of game isn't meant for the western market. The Japanese will love it though. The only real interesting game out of that list I posted in the other topic has got to be Echocrome. That game is amazing.

Just to show you what the Japanese really like, check this.

I'm weirdly interested in this game, but less so than echocrome.

I find it curious that it is listed in that link as being a MMO.

I really have no idea what to think about that. :Oo:

as ffar as i understood the game concept is: you run around and take pics and make videos of some animal to get points. pretty slow but for some odd reason I'm actually looking toward this title as the underwater thingy. getting lame as I get older i guess

You would think, but if you click the link you will clearly see, under the header Afrika this:
Quote:
Genres: MMO, Role-Playing
Typo? Are they confusing the two games?

[edit] Not sure that Gametrailers has any clue, their link to the games website is wrong, also.
