Sony had showcased a very unique title several years ago during E3 2006 titled Afrika. Well, it's now 2009 and the title has seen a release elsewhere in the world but not in North America. That's all about to change.

Natsume will be bringing Afrika to North America later this year.

What is Afrika? Afrika is a photography simulator for the PS3. Players will take pictures of wildlife on the savanna and try to get the best pictures possible. You'll come across lions, zebra, and a variety of other wild animals. Don't go thinking this is just a walk in the zoo, either. Animals will attack you and inflict damage to you. So beware.

You can find more information about the game by reading IGN's Pre-E3 09 hands-on right here.

E3 is over, Sony win.

Although I barely scratched the surface of Afrika, this game looks like it has serious potential to win over a niche crowd. With more than 100 missions to pursue and plenty of animals to capture on film, Afrika is sure to be a welcome break from the standard shooter/action game fare we've seen so much of lately.

Looks great but I would definitely have to give it a try to see if I'm in the "niche" crowd or not. It definitely is different from the trend lately though as the article mentions. Why I get bad images of Pokemon Snap in my head, nobody will know though... :laugh:

Wait, this is already out in PAL territories? :blink:

Can't have done too well! (who didn't see that coming)

It's only out in Japan/Hong Kong.

The Hong Kong version was fully English though I think which is why some imported.

Nah Pokemon Snap was a time before I would go online and check how to do something on a game. I remember going to school and wondering all day on how I could get that Magma to show its face etc. lol Oh dear.

A remake of Pokemon Snap would be awesome with a screenshot service like Halo 3, if Pokemon was still as popular, and if it was on a console with good graphics, but I guess that can't heppen. I suppose if Afrika let you put your screenshots on your pc it would actually be pretty sweet.

If they made another Pokemon Snap it would be best done like Afrika, NOT on rails.

I'm sure the first was on rails? Wasn't it?

It was also ridiculously short, but fun while it lasted.

      Exactly. They won't go 100 because current gen consoles are simply too old for any groundbreaking graphics or gaming experience otherwise. They will go with standard (console) price 70 or go with 80 if they really want to go premium. Of course they will have more expensive options too with some useless cosmetics as always.

      Doesn’t surprise me at all. God is light & He gave us life so it sounds almost logical that we would therefore emit a certain amount of light.

      By Copernic · Posted

      Motrix Next 3.9.6 by Razvan Serea Motrix Next is a modern, open-source cross-platform download manager built as the official next-generation successor to the original Motrix project. It has been completely rewritten using Tauri 2, Vue 3, TypeScript, and Rust, while still relying on the powerful Aria2 download engine for high-speed multi-protocol transfers. The app supports HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, BitTorrent, ED2K and magnet links, offering advanced features like multi-connection acceleration, task scheduling, bandwidth control, and batch download management. With a significantly reduced install size (around 20MB), it focuses on being lightweight, fast, and resource-efficient compared to traditional Electron-based download tools. Designed for Windows, macOS, and Linux, Motrix Next delivers a clean, modern UI inspired by Material Design 3 principles, with smooth animations and a minimal workflow. It improves usability through better download organization, system tray integration, and enhanced torrent handling including selective file downloads and tracker management.

BitTorrent IPv6 DHT — Added IPv6 DHT support and related configuration. File category URL patterns — File category rules can match URL patterns with validation and localized hints. Task status tags — Added clearer waiting and sharing states for task cards. Download event bridge — Added an aria2 WebSocket event bridge for faster download notifications.
