E3 06: Afrika First Look

LOS ANGELES--What is Afrika? Well, all we know of this new PlayStation 3 game revealed during Sony's Electronic Entertainment Expo press conference is that it features lots and lots of African animals, rendered in lifelike detail as they go about their daily lives. We saw rhinoceroses, giraffes, zebras, caribou, wildebeests, and cheetahs as they roamed the African plains and watering holes. The graphics were certainly very nice, and you could see everything from the armored segments on the rhino down to the chewing motions on the giraffe as it feasted on leaves high up in trees. And that's about it. In fact, the game's full title won't even be Afrika, it seems, since the trailer also mentioned that "Afrika" was only a "working title." As soon as we learn more, such as who is making the game and who is publishing it, we'll let you know.
