Re Lions: They were left out because when they tried to implement them into the game they’d eat all the Zebras before starving to death themselves. Seeing as things are real time, the Zebras couldn’t reproduce in time.

Ahhh, so thats what the uncanny valley looks like. Like a robotic unblinking gazelle.

But I thought Bioshock, Team Fortress 2, Ico and Okami would have taught developers to use style over realism and next gen cards. Same wow factor eye humping only now people can actually play it! Crysis would have sold much, much better at launch if it had lower minimums. As it was people thought the game wouldn’t run on their set-up so didn’t bother, I know I did.

If this team focus on the engine I think it might suffer the same way. Which would be ironic, suffers the same fate as it’s spiritual… cousin?

Oh god, DigitalSignalX’s post just caused a bad vision:

Please go out and collect 7 zebra hides, 4 lion hearts, 2 rhino tusks (flawless), and 1 giraffe horn.

It’s the F’n WoW quests all over again! AHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Once you have a real-looking world, the old cliches of gaming look more and more stupid in contrast. If it really looks like Africa, I really don’t want to murder 400 soldiers over the course of the game. Can I protect lions from poachers? Track sick elephants from the air?

Hihi, they show a lengthy scene of grass waving in the wind, and then fires start and burn into the opposite direction.

being this is ubisoft doing the dev for this game, i lost every ounce of faith i had in it.

it will be a bad console game and a even worse PC port of a bad console game.

What? no “JESUS CHRIST IT’S A LION GET IN THE CAR” jokes? Bless you guys for managing to ignore all of 4chan / lolcats meme’s over the big pond.

So with all these heavy African themes, we’ve yet to see the fighting bit. I can imagine with all the political ickyness going on in Africa and the Sudan we might be “liberating” some of these dramatically rendered villages. As far as the wild life goes, how about “Soldier, your secondary mission objective: kill 4 zebras , 8 gazelle and bring them to the village so they survive the Warlords cruel taxes this season.”

“Cry Further” surely?
