OMG im so going to go download it RIGHT NOW!

That sounds is tens of thousands of furries rushing to the Internet even harder.

What do you mean, he doesn't smell elk? I think you missed a star.

2008 GOTY in the making?

Call me crazy but I actually want to play this. Ive always wanted to play a game where you control an animal and do what animals actually do hunt and survive I think it could be done well. And so I am off to down load this sure to be awesome game.

Wait...this is where my tax dollars are going?
What the hell?
Guess it's better than Tomahawk missiles used to kill civilians,
Though a good compromise would be a game about wolves using Tomahawk missiles.

I just like typing Tomahawk missiles.

@onidavin: No mating allowed.

@Lyner: Release date: December 20, 2007

So sadly no

So awesome. I must remember to download this.

Wolf Quest? HOW HAVE I MISSED SOMETHING THIS AWESOME!

@Plunkett: If it's any indication, episode 2 is? :3

@Plunkett: Who cares, put it in anyway rules be damned!

I love how they're so horribly afraid of being original that they had to throw "quest" in there.

Just started the download and... HOLY CRAP THIS IS TAKING FOREVER. My computer is pretty fast and it has an estimated time of like 3 hours and climbing is the sudden rush to download this game bogging down their servers?

ive played it and well its not what i wanted it to be,kinda unfun.

@Kirbytheslayer: Happy Late Old Year!: You can't shackle the terrifying loins of furries.

Ew. Ew. EW.

@onidavin: Here's your ticket to Hell. One way trip, no layover. *shudder*

Kotaku vs Gizmodo WolfQuest Grudge Match

Can't wait...

Hopefully they'll make a patch introducing PvP.

Wolves vs. Cougars

Rawr.

Seriously, where is an Elf Quest game?

can't satisfy the lazy and give us a link!? Sheesh, now I have to use google.

Time to pumped up some TV On the Radio and get huntin!

I'm installing WolfQuest right now.

This is ridiculous.

Trying to download this game stopped my computer for like five minutes...

I barely saw the "trailer" and it looks like a bad madtv or snl skit, or sketch, or watever its called

Elk. I smell them.

I can see this becoming a major franchise. World of Wolfquest anyone?

Sheesh, this is taking forever to download. I blame Kotaku nation.

Oh no, what mods the furries will come up with.

All right! I couldn't wait for this!
No wait, nevermind.

The second server is going faaast, in a single minute I'll be playing WolfQuest! Christmas came early this year (of 2008)!

Wolves are nature tanks.

These controls are almost as responsible as Mortal Kombat for the SNES.

Needs more Roy Scheider..

Fuck yeah. Time to put on my Native American / Wolf / Lightning shirt and go to town! Every other shirt in the closet knew that badboy'd have it's day!

I thought I was alone in really anticipating this. I'll be really sad if it turns out to suck - I was hoping it would be fun to hunt as a pack with my friends online.

@Sugoi: Unfortunatly it does.

I don't know if its just me, but this game blows, all the elk are already dead? and all i can find are male cyotes.

Although this game is certainly GOTY material, it makes me wonder: perhaps Afrika will be a MMO where you play an animal, rather than real life Pokemon Snap?

Or hell maybe it'll be a mixture. If so, Wolfquest has got itself some competition.

@Foamy: Naaaa naaa naaa! I can't hear you! It'll be fun! It'll be fun! It'll be a modern Oregon Trail! *cry*

Okay, I'm over my denial. I'll try it tomorrow and confirm my fears, though.

This is so dumb I have to play it. It can't possibly suck more of my soul out than oblivion did, can it?

God I had high hopes for this game :(
The controls are super delayed for turning, its like turning a jetplane...
;_;

Umm, I think Kotaku killed their servers... Server 1 downloads at like 10kbps. Dieing to play

I don't know what you guys are talking about. It took me like 8 minutes on server 2, and I only have basic DSL.

I love the smell of elk in the morning, smells like victory....

I want the 10 minutes of my life spent playing this game back.

Apparently the reason for Wolves near extinction is their near inability to turn. The amount of wasted energy from trying to align themselves with a carcass was harrowing.

Best/worst part of the demo for me: while howling, you can move around while the howl animation plays and the wolf just slides over the terrain until he's done howling - then he begins his run animation.

Okay, so found a "trick" When making your character, put the 3rd bar to the top, middle bar in the middle and first bar on the left, to the bottom. Then slide the left bar up to the top, and it should let it go. In the end you can have max strenght, speed and medium stamina.

Works online too...

@Scazza:

Have you found a trick to make this game stop sucking?

What the hell do they mean in the faq when they say "Find a mate and establish a bond."

after playing it for a while single and multi, i hate to say it needs to go back for closed beta testing again, the idea is nice and it would be fun it's just to damn clunky.

@Evdor:
Oh man, I LOL'd.

@nmandude:

Didn't you take a High School Health class?

No, what it means is engage in a REALLLLLLLY freaking terrible parody of a turn-based RPG where you have to say things like. "I'm the boss!" or "Wait and see" or "Don't hurt me!" and do...

something. I don't know.

@nmandude: Dunno... maybe the Wolfquest equivalent of the Deeprun tram and a couple of night elves?

Wolf.......quest........???
Those are some sexy graphics.

-Goes back to playing TF2.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLF QUEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@Chaoticevl:

I find it hard to believe that they even had a closed beta... or an open beta... or a single tester.

...needs more guns. and magic. IMHO.

Finally downloaded! Time for sleep, but tomorrow morning will be filled with cereal, orange juice, and elk hunting! Well, at least two of the three. Probably the first two. Yeah, that's
