On the side of humanity, you have 5 distinct classes: Pathfinder, Trapper, Pyro, Scientist and Commando. Well…not quite as easily as that, but the classes they have complement each other. This is where the mercenaries come in they’re going to take them down, simple as that. With this cavalcade of prehistoric beasts wandering around, it’s obviously not great to leave them unchecked. In a story that’s not too dissimilar to the likes of Jurassic Park, a whole bunch of dinosaurs have been let loose on an old island formerly inhabited by the military. It’s not the next Crysis killer visually, but the models are nice, the environments are well designed and the classes don’t look anything like your standard fare which is handy, considering one team is comprised entirely of dinosaurs. Running on the Unreal Engine, it goes without saying that graphically the game is solid. Sure, we’ve seen games like this come and go without a whimper, but maybe this time it’ll be different. Recently at Gamescom in Cologne, I sat down with Aaron Pollack, the Assistant Producer of Primal Carnage, and he walked me through the game and what to expect from it.Ī class-based 10 versus 10 shooter, it’s clear from the off that Primal Carnage is something a little bit special. Hopefully, the upcoming multiplayer FPS Primal Carnage will be the one to turn the tide. Not since the days of Dino Crisis and Turok: Dinosaur Hunter in the late 1990s have we seen a game featuring dinosaurs that has been anything close to brilliant. However, games that have featured our Jurassic friends haven’t been anything to write home about. Dinosaurs were pretty awesome, and everyone knows that.
