Activision is bringing us more animal murdering fun times with Cabela's Dangerous Hunts 2011. The new game will actually present a story and, well, I'll let the press release give you a taste of it:

Delve into a Dangerous Story – The world’s deadliest predators stalk the wilderness yet this safari gone wrong represents a chance for redemption - and perhaps revenge - as dark mysteries and family secrets are revealed under the pale light of the African moon.

Yeah. The story is written by Brad Santos whose previous works include Resistance: Fall of Man, Tomb Raider: Legacy and The Saboteur. Weird, I know.

Cabela's Dangerous Hunts 2011 will also be packed with the brand new Top Shot Elite light gun for the PlayStation 3, Wii and Xbox 360. A sensor bar and high-sensitivity camera will be included for the 360 and PS3 versions while the Wii one will act as a shell for the Wiimote and Nunchuk like all the other light gun based games. All the guns will also have pump-action reloading, adjustable stock and a scope with a red lens filter that let's you see hidden animal tracks and blood trails. 

Finally, look at the box art for this game. It's f*cking ridiculous!

Cabela's Dangerous Hunts 2011 will be out on October 26, 2010 for the PS3, 360, Wii and DS.

Awesome. With a threshed-out storyline, I can finally feel good about killing animals. I mean, why WOULDN'T you take revenge on that boxart bear? He probably slept with your wife.

I want to find the guy who put the text on the boxart and buy him a beer. Not only did he use a horrible font, but he obviously took a gif of the Cabela's logo and didn't bother cleaning up the not-quite-transparent white pixels on the edges. He's clearly punking his employers. Kudos, man. Kudos.

mackie, click the full resolution button.

You'll quickly find that the Cabela logo has a non jaggy white stroke.

That sounds weird.

We rented a Cabela game for the Wii a while back. At first it was kind of fun getting the basics of the game down, then it started to feel kind of creepy that I'm shooting at "enemies" (deers) who minded their own business and were completely defenseless...

I remember seeing a friend play one of theee games. The African tour guide who introduces you to each new unlocked area told him not to take any of the trees as they are a valuable commodity and it's considered a sin. He then went on to describe all the endangered species we would me mercilessly shooting.

Morally questionable game is morally questionable. A story isn't going to change that.

Until the boxart had a picture of a hunter launching an RPG at a deer it's not worth my money.

wtf...you guys suck...how can you write about a game where you kill animals for fun. the human is a threat to the bear not vice versa.

Nintendo censored some thousand years ago Wolfensetin 3d for SNES...but this is okay ofc...

@KrazyKraut, I see that you are new to the innernets.


Also, this game sounds absolutely obnoxious. The whole series has been a joke, but this one sounds a bit... tantalizing. Which is weird, because I'm a vegetarian. I think I've lost touch with my ethics on this one.

The boxart alone has converted me to the redneck religion. I want to make a rug out of a bear and set up some lawn chairs on it and watch Nascar from my trailer while building up a pile of beer cans on the ground next to me.

I'm one of the vegetarian animal loving pussies here and I couldn't give a flying fuck.

1) It's a game.
2) Bears are the #1 threat to America. And you don't hate America, do you? Oh wait you're German. I'm assuming that's a yes.

Naw, but on the for real? Hunting just isn't one of those things I can muster a crap about. I think dead animals are gross. I'm not a vegetarian out of moral. I just think it's nasty.

i boycott RDR (for shooting on native americans too)

@Xzyliac
I am German.
No I am not hating America. Why I should hate America? wtf you thinking?

@Andycadaver
yes I am sorry.


And all pseudo Intellectuals who say that they are vegs, but have no problems with a game like this should stop smart assing around and eat a fucking burger. this would make no difference.

Okay, i was too much offended. Thats right, but thats my opinion and someone saying I am new to the Internets? Sorry, that was/is my opinion...like saying Pepsi is better than Coke.

Or that someone cant support MOH because you can play Al-qaida or not boycotting Vaz because you can rape Woman.

Bobby Kotick should really try to get a cut of gun sales now. Look at how MW2 and Cabelas Dangerous Hunts 2011 are advertising for guns. It's like without Activision, nobody would be interested in buying and using a gun!

Hurr, the deer are just minding their own business guys! They aren't doing anything! *Plays FPS and kills countless fathers, destroying families everywhere out of whimsy*

This game looks like it might not suck. Maybe. Hunting isn't really my thing though, unless you can sneak kill enemies with your trusty knife for up close action. I don't like the whole "Sitting back, picking off enemies" style of play that would probably come of hunting.

Only this hunting game looks more like Time Crisis with Bears.

So yeah, no idea of what to think until a video comes out.

KrazyKraut, Stop forcing your opinion on others. Most people don't give a flying *** (What is this term supposed to mean?) about hunting, but we respect your opinion. Don't just attack people because they don't care if we're killing animals. Sure, you may think that killing people in brutal and terrible ways is perfectly fine in both real life and in the video game world, and that is your opinion and we respect that, but most people care more about people than we do about inanimate representations of animals or real animals.

I don't get why you said that the box art looked ridiculous. It's actually the best one in the series.

But yeah I guess you would have done a better box art, were you the designer, right?

I though drugs and terrorists were the number 1 threat to America. I don't see many bears flying planes into buildings.

I'm not trolling by the way, I just don't think bears are a threat to anyone with any sense and they certainly don't need killing for being a force of nature.

How much story does a hunting game need? You wander out into the woods and shoot whatever is in season and too stupid to run away. You need a backstory of your pappy shooting the same stupid things?

Am I the only one highly confused by the box art. Why are a bear and wolf attacking a guy in a forest, while the game takes place "under the pale light of the African moon." Shouldn't we have a lion and a elephant trying to step on the guy instead ?

Colbert needs to see this.

At first, I thought the bear was jumping out of an explosion. Damn, that would have been even more awesome. Didn't one of these games have a mode like Horde, with animals attacking you in waves?
