That was indeed a rabbit in the back of a jeep being driven by a raptor into hills and other raptors...
that right there cranks up the awesome level a couple times over:shock:. Who is the rabbit? why is he in the jeep? how did he get so damned fat? beat the game to figure it out.
we all know why he's in the jeep, running over other raptors is hungry work
i think i'm on board with the raptor driver theory...but i don't see the rabbit in the back; i see a triceratops skull that holds the chain in it's mouth, and possibly breathes fire for turbo action.

ah your right, i can see it now that i'm expecting it to be a triceratops skull..that being said a rabbit would have been much cooler
I really think this is great, and whoever said this needs to be on XBLA with online is 5x right.

* Raptor Fun Fact #21 - If you tie a bow around a raptor's neck, it might cause Christmas. Spontaneously.
* Raptor Fun Fact #12 - The raptor's natural prey are soft human babies, which are made out of meat.
* Raptor Fun Fact #73 - The raptor's natural enemy is the gas-powered internal combustion off-road vehicle, which is made of mean.
* Raptor Fun Fact #42 - A raptor skin wallet is three times as practical as a ham wallet.
* Raptor Fun Fact #53 - Raptors live in a world where pants have no meaning.
* Raptor Fun Fact #66 - The Raptor word for love is "SCREEECH!"
All of the above is true; we did the work in our lab*. So in summation, science has our back. Take that, Internet!

This talk of raptors doing crazy things has reminded me of this.
In other news, color me excited for this game. Even if it didn't have dinosaurs, driving around hitting things in games with ridiculous physics is always a good time. The dinosaurs are just an added bonus. Between this and Audiosurf I think we're seeing the start of a trend of smalltime game developers making fun and original games with premises no major studio would ever think to do.
If it had a Large Mouth Bass sitting in the passenger seat with a top hat and art easel painting abstract images of your carnage that act as screenshots after every game.
Thread is horrifically lacking in trailer screencaps.
Two raptors being dragged along behind the jeep. It was kind of cooler before I saw the jeep hurl them into a capture point, 'cause I thought he was just going to use them to clobber the hell out of another raptor and smack him off a hill or something.

I'm living in Tempe right now. Do you know if they are college students here at ASU?

Two of our guys went to ASU, but we're all out of college (most of us are in the 23-27 age range).
Thanks for the comments, everyone! We love watching threads like these. Responses, particularly those in more general places like the Gametrailers video, seem to fall into utter confusion/hate/elation. It's surprisingly polarizing.
This game look so cool. I love dinosaurs.
I love the fact that they took this crazy idea that would come straight from the mind of boy in elementary school, and made it into something that looks like it might actually be fun. Regardless of whether or not this game will actually be good (I really hope it is), I hope more games like this with crazy concepts will be made. Seriously... a velociraptor wearing a monocle and hat driving a jeep around smashing other raptors with a spike on a chain. This is great!
I want to say that I really hope Jetpack Brontosaurus is real. please please let it be real.
I also hope they make a game with t-rexes in f-14's (like the Calvin and Hobbes strip)

don't worry, the raptors in Jurassic Park were based on Utahraptors, which were approximately that size, don't know if they were feathered though.

If this doesn't get on XBLA I'm going to hurt someone. With pain.

YES!
I've always wanted a Raptor hunting game in which I can get ambushed by a Raptor just so I can say that line.
And she responded that she didn't see why anyone would play or make this game.
Something is wrong with her.
Send her to the Velociraptors after her.
Could this game get any better at all?
Scratch that...a bowler hat instead of a top hat

I never asked for this!

edit: next week
double edit: well, he said "next week" on sunday, so the question is whether he meant last week's next week or this week's next week
anyway, it will probably be out within a week
Now all it needs is to be on the XBLA. I would gladly pay 10 bucks for this game if it had a few maps and multiplayer.
