Sony Japan has updated the official Afrika page with this new trailer and a release date (Japan only): August 28. It certainly seems to look and move very nicely, but is this only a virtual photo safari?
From my understanding it's supposed to be a SIM game, so I guess you create an animal kingdom of sorts. I wonder if you'll be able to pit different animal herds against each other, like having a group of monkeys fight a herd of elephants:)

no its not.
its a virtual safari.
an earlier trailer showed some gameplay.
you take pictures and maybe you can go hunting.
but the hunting is not confirmed yet.
Its actually like a 3rd person shooter, but you use a camera instead of a rifle...take shots at the wild life, looked pretty cool...and those graphics are stunning.
Afrika... flower... flOw... LBP... Sony should recall the PS3 to "emotion machine" just wonderfull... it feels just right... some change to blood, gore and mindless shooting everywhere... :)
I'm really interested in this game, I loved Endless Ocean on the Wii, this seems to be much the same thing, except set in Afrika. Too bad it's not being released outside of Japan, I would have bought it immediatly.

If you want to go underwater there is Aquanaut's Holiday: Hidden Memories.
the game does indeed look very nice. im just hoping its import friendly. i know its got a huge encyclopedia of info on all the animals, which is obviously in japanese, but if the game is perfectly playable, and the language barrier doesnt get in the way, i'll probably buy it. should be a nice game to just chillax with.

oh, I guess the person who wrote the article I read was misinformed:( I still would like to see a SIM game like this where you can pit species against each other.
If this is just going to be a virtual safari with possible hunting I hope it doesn't cost much.

@Driftwood Awesome! I’m loving it! It does show a much crisper picture and the frame rate looks good! I was playing Stella Blade and Dragonball Soarkling Blast! :) (2 Weeks ago)

Graphics are pretty sweet, the physics engine lets it down a bit.
