@ afrika, and

x 100 at it being a wii-fit killer.

Gimmick non-game confirmed

What the hell is this crap? lol

jjasper · (08-15-2007, 04:44 PM)

What would afrika use a pressure mat for? Running from the lions trying to eat you?

justjohn · (08-15-2007, 04:44 PM)

wii fit vs afrika. uh oh ..............

Hammer24 · (08-15-2007, 04:44 PM)

Gamefront said its an unsubstantiated rumor - and thats probably the reason noone posted this "news" (available for couple of hours) yet...

Kung Fu Jedi · (08-15-2007, 04:44 PM)

Running from Lions confirmed!

Trevelyan · (08-15-2007, 04:45 PM)

Why the hell do you need a touch-sensitive mat? Determine how heavy or softly you walk so the animals can react accordingly? Don't believe it for one bit.

Dabanton · (08-15-2007, 04:45 PM)

Zombie villagers confirmed.

RubberJohnny · (08-15-2007, 04:45 PM)

Joke thread, right?

MetatronM · (08-15-2007, 04:45 PM)

Obviously just a crazy coincidence.

Clearly.

Also, how the hell would you use a pressure sensitive floor mat to play Afrika? I'm not sure I understand what exactly it would do.

Uh. That's one hell of a source

WhiteAce · (08-15-2007, 04:46 PM)

does afrika as a game of ANY sort actually exist? I`m starting to have my doubts.

PepsimanVsJoe · (08-15-2007, 04:46 PM)

Sounds good.

Ranger X · (08-15-2007, 04:46 PM)

This doesn't make any sense in any way possible. This is some really badly made rumor. I don't know who's the retarded dude that thought this one would fly.

That won't stop the impending overreaction.

Make it two player! You don't have to out run the lion. You just have to out run the other player!

Wii fit comes out this December in Japan, though.

DUN DUN DUNNNNNNNN

womfalcs3 · (08-15-2007, 04:48 PM)

I've been interested since that trailer. I would love to see it demonstrated.

you need a touch sensitive matt because you are going to use it to play the animals, you step on the mat on all four and run like a cheetah!. it will immitate you in the game

Dabanton · (08-15-2007, 04:49 PM)

The mat will be to immerse the player as the main character in Afrika which is a Jeep
you control it by getting on all fours on the mat...

Maybe there's a problem with animal obesity in Africa. Whip those zebras into shape.

MetatronM · (08-15-2007, 04:50 PM)

Personally, I'm more interested in this gamefront news item:

Gearbox develops boron the country (PS3, Xbox 360)

15.08.07 - Gearbox (Brothers in arm row) works on boron the country for PlayStation3 and Xbox 360. That announces the American Game Informer.

The play described as “Diablo meets WAD max”, is mixture from Science a Fiction RPG/Ego Shooter to be. On-line ones are to be able to play up to four people cooperatively. Release: TBA (THE USA)

boron the country is gonna rock, especially if it's anything like WAD max.

I can't wait until this morphs into the greatest idea ever.

tehbear · (08-15-2007, 04:53 PM)

Given all this conjecture...

This sounds more like a game for a cat. Not sure how I am going to get my car to play though, will need 4 x mats.
