Put your survival skills to the ultimate test of manhood in the heart of the hostile Alaskan Wilderness. Survival: Shadows of Katmai puts you face-to-face with the unforgiving forces of nature and God. Youre injured, isolated and stranded with no hope of rescue. Forced to scavenge for gear youll confront some of the worlds most dangerous predators and theyre just as hungry as you are.

Do you have the courage and/or testicles to be the last one standing? Travel through blood-soaked mountains and thick, contiguous forests garnished in entrails in search of shelter. You are being hunted by things that should not be. Battle the frigid elements, relying on primal instincts to find safety and make it out alive. Challenge up to three friends in co-op, hot-seat and head-to-head multiplayer shooting galleries that are probably too intense for fans of military shooters/Uncharted.

YOU ARE LOGAN JAMES - Adventurer, murderer, and all-around bad-ass. While driving a huge plane all by himself, God attempts to stop LOGAN JAMES by throwing a bolt of lightning at him. God failed as Logan immediately crawls out of the burning wreckage...and over the roar of the flames, screams at the sky and swears vengeance.

Can't wait for this game. It sounds badass. I'm #1 in line for it at my library so I'll be able to give a full report as soon as I get my hands on it.

Greatest OT or Greatest OT? And I can't believe I'm actually interested in a Cabela game... if only for the potential lawls.

Okay, done.

What was wrong with it before? Not showing up correctly?

Am I allowed to be curious about this? It's just so strangely appealing to me.

Nothing strange about it!

We we all learn to love Logan James.

Or die trying.

Fine blood spatter work. Very fine. Much enhanced, the images are.

No season pass? No sale.

Sorry.

Sorry.

That's understandable.

subversus · Oct 30, 2011

Can you skin the bear and eat humans to survive?

Neuromancer · Oct 30, 2011

In all seriousness this has to be better than that turd of a game, Bear Grylls's Man vs Wild.

I kinda liked that game.

I'm sure you can do one or other, but Activision isn't talking about human eating features at this time.

ram · Oct 30, 2011

the last cabela games wasnt bad - but this sounds like they are trying to up the whole game. to bad that the top shot controller is like the worst controller in time.

Is it? I never got to try it myself, cuz all my local stores were sold out of them when the last game came out.

randomwab · Oct 30, 2011

Is it wrong that I'm actually pretty hyped for this? No? Good!

Is this coming out in Europe any time soon? If not, 360 US version region free for importing?

UPDATED:

SURVIVAL SHADOWS OF KATMAI will be released in European territories on November 18th!

No one should be denied the divine right to survive the slaughterhouse that is the mountains of Katmai.

Oh do you have to use that?

Tizoc · Oct 30, 2011

Do I need a Move controller to play this game? If not, will pick it up =)

Criminal Upper · Oct 30, 2011

You do not need the TOP SHOT gun shell to play the game, all versions let you play with standard controls.

The PS3 version is MOVE compatible, but not required.

DGRE · Oct 30, 2011

"Ice to see you."

Well played. Well played.

Excellent. I plan on mentioning this game at another forum, and to hype it up I'll be saying:
"You survived zombies, nightmarish monstrosities, hideious aliens, even dinosaurs, but can you survive against NATURE?!"

Criminal Upper · Oct 30, 2011

Good on ya!

Tizoc · Oct 30, 2011

Is the grammar/word use correct though?
EDIT: Oh and Criminal Upper, I quoted your description of this epic game in a forum if you don't mind ^_^;

Doooo it.

Apdiddy · Oct 30, 2011

I'm actually somewhat excited for this. Doesn't mean I'll get it though. It could be as surprisingly good as Skylanders is.

If you really frickin' love Uncharted and don't mind playing as Drake's dumb cousin, Survival: Shadows of Katmai sounds awesome.

Boerseun · Oct 30, 2011

This looks interesting. I'm considering getting the PAL Wii version. As noted, it releases on 18/11. I'll make it a day one purchase if I can find it for 30 euros or less.

Neuromancer · Oct 30, 2011

Honestly if you gave me a choice to play this or Uncharted 3 right now, I'd pick this. I'm sure overall U3 will be the "better" game, critically speaking, but this looks a lot more interesting.

Neuromancer · Oct 30, 2011

I liked it in concept but it was so linear, and you basically always had to do the same stuff (set up camp etc) in the same places every time. The QTE's were nasty too.

In theory a game based on survival in the wilderness COULD BE AMAZING if done right. I think it would need to be open world, or at least have huge areas that aren't completely linear.

Criminal Upper · Oct 31, 2011

In Man vs Wild, you can drink piss.

Logan James can't even do that!

Teknoman · Oct 31, 2011

Is the wolf...supposed to be cross eyed?

Pissing is for the wolves.

verdures · Oct 31, 2011

I'm playing this game in my imagination right now and it is as awesome as those trailers imply.

You can actually do it really early on, it's just a weird obscure process to do so.
