| What is 'Afrika'? |
|
Take a stroll along the corridors at Free Radical, and you'll notice that people are always talking about some new, excting, must-have game that's on the horizon. Generally, months pass, the title is released, and the subject of adoration turns out to be a bit of a damp squib. For this reason, I try not to get too exciting about upcoming titles. However, something grabbed my attention way back in the summer, and I have been keeping a regular eye on it since. 'Gears of War'? 'Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2'? No. It's called Afrika and all I know about it came from a collection of pictures. No-one really knows what this game is going to be about, as Sony / Rhino Studios have made virtually no comment, aside from the a brief trailer at the last E3 (R.I.P.). Nevetheless, some have commented that this might be an open-ended journalistic adventure, wherein you are expected to capture close-up photography of these wonderful beasts. A little like the photography section of 'Rising Dead', only set in the African plains. Keep an eye out for updates in the next year or so. This has the potential to be a much needed injection of creativity into the games industry. |
