It's like a cross between Nintendogs and Silent Hill.

OK, when you put it like that it doesn't sound half bad. :P

[cosmicblizzard]

I have no idea what the hell this is from, but I still read it in annoying anime girl voice and found it hilarious. The origin of this must be terrifying.

It's not from anything.

[Blunt]

This gen has been seriously lacking in the weird Japan-ass games department.

Watching.

[outunderthestars]

Has any English language physical release been announced? I need to play this game!

[Combichristoffersen]

Uhm, Siren: New Translation/Blood Curse and Gravity Daze beg to differ.

Gravity Daze and Siren don't interest me at all.

[LiquidMetal14]

Someone better pick this up for US release. Reminds me of some crazy PS1 game.

[Stumpokapow]

omg multiple endings

omg 100 year survival mode (wonder if you can play as a tortoise and actually play the same animal for the whole 100 years?)

Holy shit, this game is gonna be bananas.

Looking at the trailer, there's quite a few animals besides what was highlighted:
-Birds
-Porcupines
-Horses (lol @ the racehorse)
-Fish (Wonder how that works?)
-Hippo
-Giraffe
-Kangaroo
-Dinosuars! (Raptor and Pterodactyl)
-Bears (Threat level up!)
-And more! (Because I can't be bothered to do a whole list.)

Oh man the gameplay looks really bad though. Oh well, can't say anything definitative till we get a chance to play it.

Only negative of the game so far.

[dallow_bg]

I asked Yosp when it was coming to NA.

yosp Shuhei Yoshida @shelfcompact Please wait for an official announcement

[Callibretto]

That mean it's definitely coming right? They're not gonna make an official statement about the game not coming to western market.

[JustAnotherOtaku]

Well it's coming to Europe via PSN so I'd imagine it'll be the same for the US.

[Winnie the Pimp]

Well it's coming to Europe via PSN so I'd imagine it'll be the same for the US.

holy crap, does it say WHEN it's coming for Europe?

If so, you guys could simply download it from there with an EU account couldn't you?

[cj_iwakura]

You'd need an EU PSN card, but beyond that, yes.

[Tizoc]

It was announced for Europe for almost a year now since the game was announced.

[hirokazu]

Could somebody explain this game to me? I watched some trailers from PSN and it looked like shit.

[Stumpokapow]

baby chick gonna ninja kick your face off

[RelentlessRolento]

Still sad this might not get a stateside release :(

But thanks for the hope dallow

[Valru]

I really want that cover, my Korean Wipeout HD came with English on the disc, but other than that I have no idea what is the norm for this sort of thing.

Do first party Sony games with expected English releases from the Japan, Asia, or Korean regions typically come with English options on disc?

I love DD, but for these unique eccentric games gotta have that sweet physical disc.

[StunandStab]

Onii-chan~ I need you to milk me today

Somebody please tell me the origin of this.

So far, my search has already found me a disturbing song on youtube, but unfortunately not this

[graywolf323]

there is no origin, the poster made it up

and it's hilarious

[StunandStab]

That's what I thought at first but some other posters implied that it came from somewhere.

For example:

I love how so many people know where this is from

[tusken77]

It surely can't get any crazier.

Wrong.

That's actually the least crazy thing I've seen in this game. Tosas are dressed like that in real life in Japan.

Best commercial.

[Yjynx]

HAHAHAHA haaaa so any localization news?

[Aselith]

Yeah, when's it coming to the EU? I'll scare up a Euro PSN card and buy it quicklike.

[SpacePirate Ridley]

I love how the pomeranian looks like the main character in all the things they have released.

It the best only dog

[Stumpokapow]

there should be a "memory" stat

and the elephant would have 99999

because elephants never forget

Do not fuck up with an elephant, becuase he will remember, and will have its vengeance one day.

It doesn't look fun at all really and kind of killed my interest in it. Think this game is going to bomb critically and commercially.

[akachan ningen]

Yeah, that video did the same for me. I've been back and forth on this game a couple of times but I was quite keen recently especially with it out so soon.

Let me break character for just a second -- this is a game that developed out of the Playstation Camp initiative, which is basically an indie hackathon thing that SCEJ runs. The main appeal of the game is the utter strangeness of the concept. It's a survival action platform arcade game featuring animals with RPG-style stats running around post-apocalyptic Tokyo and mating with each other to breed high stat babies. It's pretty obvious that the actual gameplay itself is going to be hit or miss, rough around the edges, it isn't going to look great, it'll probably be about as deep as the average $5-10 PSN game. In other words, "jank".

It's also very obviously going to bomb commercially, and I think it will be divisive critically. There will be those who appreciate just how bizarre the concept is and how refreshing it is to try something different. And then there will be those who focus more on its actual game-like qualities, which might not be up to par. That's okay. Not every game is made for every person.

The last game that's really been at all comparable on PS3 is probably Afrika.

The video looked pretty interesting to me. I liked the day/night / weather stuff. I liked the idea that when you get other animals in your group you can gang up on enemies, especially when the pack of hyenas took down the tiger near the end of the video. Relatively few stages / areas were shown. I like that the animals clearly have very different playstyles based on what's shown in the video. I liked the little touches, like how eating meat restored a calorie meter. I liked what looked like a hybrid cheetah / hyena near the end of the video. I mean, you're absolutely right that the game seems to be pretty simple and not really engaging. But I think if you get in the kind of mindset where you can appreciate the atmosphere and just let your mind wander thinking about how crazy the concept is, there's going to be enjoyment to be had here.

[Loudninja]

Looks so weird and awesome at the same time.
