It's ironic(Bender:That's not ironic it's coincidental), only a week ago I was wondering, "Are there any survival based games?". So I made a thread and it turns out, yes, there are, but not very many, and frequently only from small indie companies. And now this come around a big budget Survival game for a major console release.

There's lots of big budget survival games, a whole series exists for the PS2, though only the first two were ever localized for the West as Disaster Report and Raw Danger! Both covers for the US release actually look way too much like shovelware.

Then there's the Lost in Blue series on the DS about being trapped on and trying to survive on an abandoned island.

I actually got the lost in blue games thanks to that thread, but neither those or the PS2 games are exactly recent.

I have both Disaster Report and Raw Danger, and all three Lost in Blues. My feelings about Tokyo Jungle are pretty well known. I never actually thought about it before, but I guess I have a thing for survival-type games. Huh...how about that. Neat.

Intriguing! Games like this, from a true (and non-anthromorphic) animal's perspective are really interesting, and I wish there were more of them. I might just HAVE to play it if it comes out here.

Also, it's not just about a Pommeranian.

There are 50 breeds and 80 types of animals to be expected. Animals confirmed for Tokyo Jungle include Lion, Crocodile, Tiger, Giraffe, Hippo, Cheetah, Chimpanzee, Gazelle, Chicken, Beagle, Tyrannosaurus, Hyena, and Fox. As the player plays through the game, additional playable animals will be unlocked.
