Go! Gaming Giant: Afrika Review

From the review:

"As the end of each year approaches, we are typically bombarded with a steady influx of highly-anticipated games releasing in time for the holidays, when sales are expected to be at their highest. Naturally, it is quite easy for lesser-known titles to slip under the radar, even as early as October. I-as well as others-have found that many of these games often resurface months later when the dust finally settles, and in some cases, a lot of these end up being some real gems. That hasn't been the case for a lot of sleeper titles lately, but Rhino Studios' Afrika has proven itself to be one of the more interesting games that you've probably never heard of."

This game deserves much better treatment than it has been receiving.

Automat5148d ago

i wanted this game after seeing the trailers in 2007, but it has still NOT been released in Europe. WTF SONY ??

Murgatroyd75148d ago

As far as I know, it has been canceled for Europe. Looks like you'll probably have to import it.

LukeA5148d ago

Hmm, interesting. I'll rent this for a night and see if I agree with your score Chris.

But if I don't... *shakes fist*

Murgatroyd75148d ago

Hey, I make no promises! Keep in mind that this is a very niche game and not everyone is going to like it. Heck, most people won't even give it a chance. In at least half of the reviews I've seen, the reviewer didn't even play past the first 10 missions (there are 118 total!). If you like Pokémon Snap and Discovery Channel, this is worth your time.

xbotpleasefixme5148d ago

It's so funny that the best game ps3rd has to offer you ps turds is a game where you sit and take pictures of fake video game animals. I think I'd rather go outside and find a stick to play with.

RaymondM5147d ago

you sold me at pokemon snap hahaha sounds interesting, however I dont own a PS3, so I'm gonna have to sit this one out

Go Gaming Giant5146d ago

those graphics are amazing and yes, Pokemon snap was awesome :)

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)

morkendo234089d ago (Edited 4089d ago )

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.
