Players go on Safari with their Sixaxis-controlled camera in Natsume's photo-focused PlayStation 3 game.
Afrika gets new publisher, new name.
"Now the game sounds like a cash-in game instead of an original idea."
Yep, I recconmend now avoiding it so lessons are taught. Then again the masses will probably buy it....idiots.
Actually, the game was already a side work with Nat. Geo. You could research for info from their site in the game, as photos, videos, information, etc. And you are a photographer for the National Geographic in the game as well.
I dont expect the game to even reach 500k in the US ever, though. Its not a popular genre, but I will be getting it, totally love the concept of it.
PD: At least its no longer Hakuna Matata.
"I think I'd rather import the game with the title of just Afrika rather than "National Geographic: Africa" ...I don't know why, but that just sounds so awful to me, like a horrible budget game."i don't know, i like that title better, atleast they spell it right! and besides, it almost immediately gives you an idea of what the game may be about since National Geographic is known for amazing photography, and thats basically what you do in Afrika.
I'm not bumping this thread, im posting on it so it would drop down to the buttom of the forum list in a few minutes (at the moment its stuck at the top)
