Primal Carnage

Primal Carnage is a multiplayer FPS currently in development by the indie stuido Lukewarm Media and is currently in Alpha. This game caught my eye because it offers something I haven't seen since some old Turok game I used to play, large scale battles between humans and dinosaurs completely controlled by players.

Currently the Alpha has two game modes, 4 human classes, and 3 dino classes with more on the way including vehicles. Each class fulfills a specific role, for example, raptors are fast and can pounce on targets like Left 4 Dead hunters while dilos can break other dinos out of traps and strike from a distance. Of course the T-rex just stomps around and nomnoms people. The humans have a sniper class, heavy weapons class, trapper class, and a support class.

Beta is coming soon and once it hits anyone can register on their website found here. I'm a big fan of unique inde games so I'll be following this one closely and will provide updates on this blog. I'll end with this cool "trailer" the Primal Carnage team released depicting the newly added T-rex. Keep in mind the game is still in alpha and is not by an AAA studio with publisher money, it's just a project started by a group of friends. Awesome gameplay can make up for lack of graphical and animation quality.
