I am NOT a 360 Fanboy, but I do an awesome impression of one:

"FAAaaIILLL!!!!"
"AFRI-FLooPPPP"
"FLOPRIKA"
"SOoNY's LAast HOPE FAAILS"
"hahahahahahahahaha" ;

....I always feel a little ashamed when I do that impression.

HipHopGamerShowFan5718d ago

Next thing you know, you want to be the impression of pp.

rhood0225718d ago

I reached for the stars and tried that impression once, but even with my amazing skills I couldn't impress upon the fine folks at N4G anything close to the original.

Besides, I died a little inside.

nieto5718d ago

it got a better score than Too Human and it is just a downloadable game from psn...

i don't even know what's this game anyway.

nos4speed5718d ago

the game is a blu-ray title, I thought it was a download too until someone on here corrected me, I have ordered mine as an import should be on its way now :D

theKiller5718d ago

on just one game, there is no last game that they put all their hopes like 360 with gears and halo, playstation is about a sequence of non stop big hits that will not stop until the end of ps4 first year!!

afrika is jungle game, no one expected it to be an AAA game from the beginning but at least sony is trying to do innovation unlike MS! MS is always playing it safe now but dont think of later!

i think afrika will be a great game for those who love animals, those who give it a bad score r not animals lover or they were expecting some action and was disappointed!!

afrika is not a Mass appealing game!! try to get that @2

rhood0225718d ago

@theKiller

uhh..in case you missed it in the OP and in the response, I WAS BEING SARCASTIC.

I was doing an impression of a 360 fanboy getting back at PS3 owners for their ragging on the low scores of Too Human.

The irony, as you touched on in your rant, is that Afrika is a complete niche game with little to no hype.

PoSTedUP5718d ago

good review and i bet the game is good for what it is, if you like that kind of stuff.

happyface5718d ago

famitsu is bias against ps3 because this ps3 exclusive is AAA

xxBATTLECATxx5718d ago

......no dude.
leave that at home.

Overr8ed5718d ago

lol battle. its not a bad score for a Downloadable game.

PirateThom5718d ago

It's not a download, it's a disc game.

NegativeCreep4275718d ago

but I know that Pokemon Snap was a waste. And this is something else...I don't know what to rate it unless I get bombarded witht negative cr#p!!!.

Which Launch Title Would Make You Buy a PS4?

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?

TrendyGamers4090d ago

Uncharted 4 would definitely make me buy one.

Relientk774090d ago

That's exactly the game I want

blitz06234090d ago

Killzone 4
NEW Naughty Dog IP

RGB4089d ago

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.

unchartedxplorer4090d ago

Maybe Gran Turismo 6.. now that'll be awesome

Hanif-8764090d ago

If that's a release title i'd buy two PS4's ;-)

JoGam4090d ago

I'll buy all so far. No game i heard coming out seems wack.

akaakaaka4090d ago

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"

Saigon4090d ago

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...

Snookies124089d ago

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.

HarryMasonHerpderp4089d ago

The Last Guardian or FF Versus XIII.
(I know they are supposed to be PS3 games)

4089d ago
morkendo234089d ago (Edited 4089d ago )

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......

superterabyte4089d ago

Need for speed nahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhhhhhhh

Wedge194090d ago

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?

TrendyGamers4090d ago

Will it be called Rocket Launcher Extreme?

Shadow Flare4090d ago

It should be called Kazooka!

4090d ago
Godmars2904090d ago

Something I'd like to play which is actually playable?

Too general?

Hicken4090d ago

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.

thirtyandnerdy4090d ago

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?

Fyflin4090d ago

I'm expecting this with GTA V, and wouldn't be surprised to see an upgraded version of Bioshock Infinite

ftwrthtx4090d ago

It needs a new IP with a pedigreed developer

doctorstrange4090d ago

Pedigreed? Is that like Activision?

ftwrthtx4090d ago

A developer with a pedigree would be Naughty Dog or David Cage

The Best Games Never to Get a Worldwide Release

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?

Reconsidering PS3′s Afrika

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.

rezzah4581d ago

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.

Ramas4580d ago

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.

rezzah4580d ago (Edited 4580d ago )

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.
