theHunter: Primal

Users who are viewing this thread

Did a quick search, found no thread for this yet.
theHunter: Primal was just released yesterday, according to their steam page. Apparently, you've landed on a strange planet full of dinosaurs, and if you survive you get to be sent back to earth. Or something. Honestly, to me it just looks like a Turok clone. And they didn't even capitalize the title! D:
It is multiplayer though, Turok never had that AFAIK.

Welcome Pioneer!

Step into a huge Cretaceous world (24 km² / 9.3 mi²) where the very environment will test your survival skills to the max. This is the planet of Primal Eden. Help us reclaim, subdue and eradicate the savage wilderness so that we may plant the seed of civilization in its place. If you are successful, we will permanently erase your criminal records. If you fail, your dead body's nourishing of wild plants and animals will be seen as treason against the Expansive Galaxies Corporation and your extended family will be volunteered as Pioneers.

There should be some supplies in your drop pod to get you started. In order to survive, you will need to explore the world in search of more powerful weapons, clothing and ammo. Sounds easy? Well, not only is the island littered with poisonous plants, but deadly dinosaurs roam the island looking to feast on the weak.

Planet Primal Eden is inhabited by 5 different dinosaur species, including the mighty Tyrannosaurus Rex and the much-dreaded Quetzalcoatlus, a.k.a. Menace of the Skies. Careful planning, cooperation and backpacks filled with ammo and weapons are crucial to your survival.

theHunter: Primal is a new instalment in the highly popular and critically acclaimed theHunter franchise, created by Expansive Worlds and Avalanche Studios. Since its release, the original game has grown into a 5 million strong player community, and is still growing rapidly.

theHunter: Primal offers both single player and multiplayer modes, with the option of creating private gaming sessions. If you are looking for a serious challenge, turn on the PVP function, team up with your friends and let all hell break loose. If you prefer cooperative hunting, you can turn off the PVP function and join your friends and other players in an effort to bring down the beasts of planet Primal Eden.

The game features a persistent inventory system, which means that everything you’ve collected in one game session will remain in your inventory in the next one. But it comes with a price. If you die, all your equipment is lost. If you are fast enough you can pick up your lost backpack before another hunter loots your stuff.

Happy hunting!
Im thinking that it probably won't be bad. Probably pretty fun actually.
Anyone thinking about buying it?
 
I enjoy theHunter on its own, this looks interesting, but not, "spend my money on it" interesting.

A Turok clone? Barely.

It's pretty much theHunter except with animals that actually hunt you back. I've been following the game for ages and there is something about the atmosphere of the game that is intense and beautiful. The audio is great too.
 
Yeah, upon further inspection and greater consideration, it's actually quite different. The only real simularity is the idea of:
>Land on foreign planet
>Hunt Dinos
>???
>Profit
But I still like Turok better anyway. Of course, I like Turok better than pretty much anything (muh childhood).

You don't hunt dinosaurs in Turok. You shoot humans, dinosaurs and dinoaliens to pieces.
 
True. But in my defense his name was

But, I digress.

****ing Scree, yo.

Oh yeah, they added in Quetzecoats didnt they? Oh dear lord. I enjoyed watching playthroughs but I have yet to see on with the birdies.
 
The Hunter was awesome to play and when I first played it the graphics were awesome. These days however it all looks a bit meh. Whilst this game does look fun, it looks like it needs a graphics overhaul.
 
I thought it did but I never played the remake. Been meaning to though.
Speaking of which, they should make another Turok. And, ya know, make it a bit better too. Buuuuuuut I digress...
 
I'm excited, I've played a little of theHunter but the lack of danger got a little old. As a kid I played a ridiculous amount of that game I can never remember the name of where you hunted dinosaurs with limited ammunition and a space ship picked up your kills and there was an Ice Age expansion.

Dinosaurs have been done recently but only in arcade shooters, I want to hunt them, damn it, not blow them up en masse like nazi zombies.

So anyway, I hope this is actually any good.
