As a good child of the 90s, this shooter with dinosaurs set in a city has caught my attention in an unimaginable way

The games of dinosaurs have not had as constant as other genres. The animals of the Jurassic and Triassic era, beyond that already old Dino Crisis, have not had clear exponents, and although Capcom wants to resurrect these beings in the future, and hopefully, Exoprimal, has come to nothing. For this we have to turn to independent developers, and it is Primal Carnage or The Isle joins him paleophagea modest project that has managed to make the eyes of my inner child make chiribitas.

The game, developed by just one person, the American artist Logan Chitwood, seeks to transfer dinosaurs to the only genre that seems to match its bet: the survival horror. Even so, and taking into account that we are talking about early development with many fringes to cut, the idea of ​​setting the game in a urban environmentIt makes me extremely curious.

As a general rule, this type of game looks for paradisiacal islands, places far from urban centers or, on the most fantastic side of that exceptional The Lost Wild, a place so remote that it hides all kinds of extinct creatures. Paleophage will take us to, apparently, a Museum of Natural History with some narrative loophole that includes a cloning similar to Jurassic Park.

Be that as it may, the interesting thing is, once again, to explore the contrast of these animals that have already disappeared in our era with the concrete jungle of the city. Far from being a game where we have to flee from these beings, here the component survival horror I bet you fighting with firearms throughout these facilities.

As for dinosaurs, Paleophage does not claim to be biologically true. In fact, he seems to want evoke the work of Steven Spielberg in the cinema as if it had been intermingled with that Night in the museum by Ben Stiller. As seen in this preview, we have a T-Rex, raptors (which do include certain feathers) and, most curiously, invertebrates Paleolithic with the size of a medium dog, nothing that a good grenade can’t stop.

For the moment, and as we have anticipated, we are talking about a minor development that is giving its first steps out of the egg and that it is nothing more than something conceptual of a project that will remain silent for a while until we have news about it. whatever, whatever 90s kid that I am, the fact of seeing a “resurgence” of the cretaceous era gives me joyalthough we hope that these promises do not fall on deaf ears.
