A Bit O/T: PC photography game

robscomputer

I saw this on a gaming site and thought it was a bit interesting. It's still early but looks like you play the role of a wildlife photographer. Guessing you are given assignments then capture the images.

Here are two screenshots from the game.





Should be released around Jan or Feb of 2006. :thumb

What we need is a game just like that with a controller that is a camera. It would come with different (fake) lenses that would change the focal length when you switched them. You would also be able to zoom the lens which would zoom on screen just as you would in real life. It would basically be just like shooting in real life, but you would be doing it on a computer with a camera controller.

Anybody get what I'm saying?

Yeesh, look at that lens flare!

That looks kind of cool. It'd be cooler if you could be a war photojournalist. I mean it's theoretically possible to go to the bush to get some shots of elephants and zebras, but just try going to Falluja or Mosul.

It could be a little like grand theft auto except you get chased by insurgents that want to cut off your head instead of the police.

Looks cool!
And I guess the winners of the assingments will get a gig from National Geographics:-)
Cheers!

Sure!

I'm positive you'll be able to set the theme (canon/nikon/ps) and you'll get initial budget to get some basic lenses. Once you complete the assignments and get paid, you'll be able to purchase some L glass, then digital back, then get your own crew, and in the end you get to shoot playboy centerfold sims style:-):):
PS
And if you know the cheatcodes, you can actually get published:-)

But what about the game controller being a (fake) SLR. That's the main thing I would want a game like this to have. The others stuff is cool too.
