+Audioboxer Subscriber² Posted December 11, 2007 Subscriber² Share Posted December 11, 2007 (edited) We haven't heard much of anything from Sony about their mysterious Afrika game since March. Is it a Pokemon Snap-style photography simulator? Is there actually an adventure game buried in there? Or is it simply Sony's response to the growing popularity of "non-games" in Japan? We, uh, don't really know, but have come across proof the game's definitely still in development; it now has a composer.By way of the Professional Musicians' Local 47 union newsletter, 1UP can confirm that Wataru Hokoyama -- a Los Angeles-based composer who doesn't appear to have worked in the videogames space before -- has recently hired a 104-piece orchestra to start laying down the symphonies to accompany Afrika, whatever it ends up being. Sure, that doesn't tell us anything more about the game, but it's somethin'. Source: http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3164851 I'm even more pumped for this down to the fact im watching the BBC - Planet Earth series ( http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0795176/ ) on DVD just now! I think I might get it on Blu Ray for xmas, as I've heard it looks great (Y) ps. here is the latest trailer - Edited December 11, 2007 by Audioboxer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hehe, I've watched the official music video like 3 times so far. I'm addicted to it. :p I've always been a National Geographic fan, and Planet Earth is quite good. There's just something about this video and wildlife in general that makes me happy. Caveman roots perhaps? Haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
