Tokyo Jungle Coming to America On September 25th

Posted on Monday, August 20 @ 10:58:27 Eastern by Keri_Honea


Here's the scene for Tokyo Jungle...Earth is experiencing life after people, so Tokyo has in fact become a bona fide jungle. The player takes on the role of an animal as it tries to fight for survival in the literal suburban wild.

Sony has described the game as the following:
Tokyo Jungle puts you in the shoes (paws?) of over 50 playable animals ranging from Pomeranians to Lions. Playing your animal of choice, unleash your inner beast to hunt your way to the top of Tokyo's post-apocalyptic food chain.

There are two game modes: in Story Mode, you'll play as a range of different animals whose lives are intertwined as they struggle to survive in the Tokyo wilderness, while unraveling the mystery of mankind's disappearance. In Survival Mode, you will hunt, occupy territories, and produce offspring to secure future generations and resist extinction. As you progress, you'll also obtain survival points to unlock playable animals and purchase costumes to increase your abilities.
No way will I give this game a chance. I'm already tearing up at the thought of cute little Pomeranian puppies getting slaughtered in the name of food.

If you laughed when Chevy Chase killed the dog in Vacation, then you may be pleased to know that Tokyo Jungle will release on the PSN on September 25th for $15.

    Whatever happened to that game that was kinda like TF2, but you could be like a hawk, alligator or fox? This reminded me of it and I realized I haven't heard of it since.

    On topic though, this sounds interesting. Although the Pomeranian threw me off a little bit. I immediately picture boo the dog (google it if you don't know) fighting lions and bears.

    How did all these animals get to the small, surrounded by water on all sides, non-jungle climate of Japan?

    If there are wolves I might be interested.

    during the iraq war in 2003, the Baghdad Zoo was hit by a bomb and the animals inside were set free. There are reports of U.S soldiers detailing antelopes, crocodiles, hyenas and even lions running wild in the streets unaware of the war going around them. There's even a graphic novel based on some of those lions.
    I believe this game was inspired by that story.

    I remember one zoo killed the lesser animals for meat to feed the rarer species. Its like 12 monkeys but in Tokyo I guess.

    Interesting concept. Nice to see developers not just trying to copy eachother.
