Basically, you drive around with a giant spiked chain on the back of your jeep and wail on the prehistoric beasties, for fun and possible profit. Genius!

    Yup, and it shall be the greatest thing ever.


    Edit: Oh, and it seems that the driver is also a raptor. If only we had never given them access to doors, they might have never learned how use their hands to their fullest capacity!

    PC, it appears. Flashbang said that they're gonna make a Live Arcade like site, with a ton of free games. Then they'll add on expansions that can be bought to broaden the games.

    I played the full game to death, it was fucking awesome. Over exagerated physics and what not.

    On topic, I can't see this because I'm blocked at work. Definitely one to check when I get home.

    Wow. That was hilarious. If the driver is indeed a raptor as well I'm sold. Otherwise I kinda started to feel sympathy for the little guys.

    edit: I just rewatched the trailer. And that is a raptor driving a jeep if I have ever seen a raptor driving a jeep...

    Exactly. This now opens up a while new avenue of philosophical inquiry. What drove the raptor to commit such atrocities against his own kind?


    Also I love that you're not shooting the dinosaurs, with guns or a camera. Instead your ramming them a full speed with your jeep, hitting them with a large ball an chain attached to the back of your vehicle. While busting sweet tricks. It's like the developers just hard a dartboard with gameplay elements, and went from there.

    No because then when we go to get a percentage we get negative.

    Goddamnit, we don't need percentages, we need sub-zero numbers to signify awesome.

    I'm waiting for direnerd to pop in and inform us all that this game is grossly mislabeled.

    Because those things are clearly Deinonychus-sized or greater. Hell, possibly even on the scale of Utahraptor.

    The raptor car is presumably raptor sized, since it has a raptor driver, so you can't compare them to the car.
    Don't look at the trees, they're pygmy trees.
