New Afrika vid is all about the music

by Majed Athab { Jul 21st 2008 at 3:30PM }

So while this new trailer for Afrika really does little to tell us anything about the game -- and is nothing more than a collage of static scenery -- it's still captivating to watch. You could almost completely bypass the lack of something (anything) happening in the video as Afrika's music proves yet again its marvelous quality. Watch the video not for the scenery alone, but listen to the great soundtrack that accompanies it.

The game is scheduled for an August 28 release in Japan.

No doubt, late Aug. in Japan, and no word in NA. Could be a nice relaxing game.

Looks good, sounds better.

Was Mjed watching the same video I was watching? What the hell does he mean by static. Every change of scenery was not static. Trees were moving in the breeze, animals scurrying around. Not one scene was static!

Titchimp @ Jul 21st 2008 5:18PM

If they've spent all this time making the landscape beautiful and the animals natural i'll be disapointed if they wont let me shoot them.

With a camera maybe. "Take nothing but photos... Leave nothing but foot prints. This is the AFRIKA way."

On a serious note, this game looks pretty cool. They should do a scuba diving game next, like Endless Ocean.

Boy - such a great looking piece of art(?) or at least some animated chill-out wallpaper. Please Sony release that game on the european PSN! Please!

DeforMAKulizer @ Jul 21st 2008 5:38PM

Even my dad wants to get this game....
Its sooo relaxing.... I just cant get myself to stop watching the video...

Whoppy @ Jul 21st 2008 5:42PM

If it doesn't sell well they can always release a DLC patch that turns it into a hunting game.

Or provide the safari equivalent of a squirrelpult.

Neuromancer @ Jul 21st 2008 5:48PM

Oh wait, they are:

Anyone know if either of these games are actually coming to the US?

I think this game could be an indie-hit as long as they do it properly...

I actually want to compare this game to a flash game which was very popular once;
you started as a photographer and you just shot video or stills of certain objects, and depending how steady/revealing your footage was, you were paid for it. Then, you could go and buy different lens, different gear.... all in the name of making better shots and getting paid even better.

these sorts of light RPG elements could really make such a beautiful game as this flat-out addictive.

However, i doubt it'll happen.

This is like the user-created slide show in GT-IV, nice. I hope this is successful and they come out with "Skotland", Enkland, North Amerika, South Amerika, etc. Seriously, though, to have these gorgeous places mapped, and play to music, wow.

THIS GAME NEEDS HOME INTEGRATION SONY

k so they want to make home abit more interesting, what if I could go from home to this game , with my home avatar, and go with my friends from home. Basically just allowing you to be in Africa with your friends as your home avatars, and placing your photo's in your Home, maybe in the game you can win Africa inspired furniture and ware's as rewards, and trophies, maybe you could view and share your photo's ala singstar.

Just thoughts, I really really hope they do the home integration this game seems like a perfect candidate. Maybe I should work for playstation, I have alot of idea's.
