PLEASE tell me this a joke.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME? This is the dumbest change of name since... Zack and Wiki

Isn't this game based on Pokemon Snap?

You realize that you, along with most other HD gamers, and indeed people in the world, judge books by their cover.

You'll never know how amazing it feels to have a complete mastery over the human psyche. You never generalize, and can see behaviour for what it really is. Natural instinct.

For instance, our tendency to want to choose sides is based off our natural animal instinct. Indecisive creatures have never lasted long. Our fanboyism is based off of our natural instincts.

Our tendance to share opinions, our generalization and craving of others opinions is based off our natural pack instincts. Humans are a pack animal. They need to be social to mate, find food, and build shelters. Therefore any thoughtful attempts to seperate ourselves from the pack are countered by our own "embarassment" which is simply a small synapse fired by our our brain telling us "don't do that again, agree with everyone, stay with the pack."

When you understand these motivations, you can see how exactly judging a book by its cover is not only completely in line with human nature, but usually runs contrary to actuality. We can judge if a buffalo is good to eat by seeing it in the brush. We can't judge if a game is good or not, by hearing the name.

Example: I bet you think Pokemon snap sucks. Hearing the name "Pokemon" instantly alienates and generalizes the game for you. I bet you thought that me saying Afrika was based on Pokemon Snap was an insult to Afrika and its fans. However, I believe that Pokemon Snap is one of the best N64 games, and in actuality, I gave the game a compliment.

 

However you already knew all of this, or at least had an idea. You eluded to it with your Zack and Wiki comment.
