I don't think it'll be a good game, but I hope it is, really, really hope it is. | |
OH MY FREAKING GOD. Who the hell put my two favourite things together? I want to bum them. | |
I don't know what that means, but I'm scared... OT: | |
I hate FPS games but I've decided to love this one. :) | |
As long as there's no- JESUS CHRIST RAPTORS! | |
This is the best idea ever. It's just too bad that fps games need to have crazy shit like this to be considered original. | |
Raptor Jesus went extinct for your sins! Do not mock his sacrifice! That said I think there is still a lot you can do with World War II based games, without reaching for things like this. Albeit I don't think the world is quite ready to abandon political correctness enough to give the genere a real breath of fresh air. Unless the Dinosaurs are REALLY exagerrated, I see no real point when you have tanks and planes. | |
It's probably going to suck, but if it is done well, it just might be the greatest WWII game ever. | |
This... This is awesome. I hope it turns out to be a functional shooter, because if it ends up being really bad like Darkest of Days, I'd be most disappointed. | |
most likely going to be, if not horrible then disappointing, but i will still pre order it off steam, aslong as i get to use a rocket launcher or some other weapon whit splash damage to kill a dinosaur and some nazis at the same time it will be alright. | |
Dinosaurs make everything cooler. Especially Pterodactyls. | |
I don't know whether I should facepalm, or high five someone. | |
Wow, really? This looks pretty amazing,honestly. | |
WHAT IN THE FUCK? | |
It's like the concept of the game exudes an aura of awesome so badass that all the posts in this thread became more badass as a result. | |
...holy hell. That sounds god damn amazing, even if it is a generic WWII shooter, the fact that it's doing things this outlandish have sealed the Nazi's as histories "what if" fictional supervillains! I'd like to express my thoughts on this concept, but I think Seto Kaiba said it best when he said: "Fuuuuuu-" | |
O_O Ok, I am so playing this when it comes out just for the sake of it. If it's bad, then I'll have myself a good laugh. If it's good, then sweeeeeet. | |
PLEASE be good Make it a Survivial thing...where you have to use teamwork to take down big dinosaurs and try and kill raptors and the like before they reach you | |
I'm so gonna buy this game. And who here remembers Dino Crisis? (Great, now I have the Jurassic Park theme music stuck in my head... dah da, dah da, Der daaaaah der da da DAAAA!!!) | |
But what if... ... what if this turns out to be Treyarch's "big idea" for Call of Duty 7? Either way, it's worth a go. | |
Definatley getting this one. It will be epic, solely for the fact that the mighty T-rex is in it. | |
Dinosaurs make everything better. FACT. So I'll be looking forward to this. | |
it might just be Turok in war...hopefully good | |
WAIT! That article earlier had a rumor about Activision getting a new developer to work on Call of Duty... maybe this is what they're doing! | |
Oh. My. God. This is pure fucking genius. I am totally getting this game. | |
That...is...awesome. Seriously, whoever came up with that idea give them a freakin' medal or something. | |
I want this game. | |
Hitler + Dinosaurs. The only way this could be more awesome if it was on fire. | |
It means precisely what you think it means. | |
If that is the case, then Treyarch has officially become more awesome than IW. | |
You know, as tired and worn out as WW2 is... I accually want to see this. Now... not gonna shell out 60 bucks, but when it drops oh yeah. None for the French, as all their Dinos surrendered two weeks into the war. | |
(sigh) | |
They came up with it a long time ago, they were just waiting to release it until they were sure they had milked every cent out of both normal nazis and nazi-zombies. | |
Yes. Yes. YES! This is how you take a tired, overdone genre and give it new life! Dinosaurs! This also means that the walls of WW2 reality are burring enough... To get our Spider-riding Mecha-Hitler! | |

Dino D-Day: The Best World War II Shooter Ever
To hell with zombies - World War II would have been so much more awesome if Hitler had brought back the freakin' dinosaurs.
The overdone World War II FPS has become such a running joke in the industry and gaming press that it's actually kind of bold for a company - especially a smaller company - to actually make a new one. How can you possibly make goose-stepping, Sieg-Heiling Nazis interesting again?
Answer: You give them Tyrannosaurus Rexes.
Dino D-Day is a FPS slated for release in 2010, where the player is in the shoes of famous-paleontologist-turned-soldier Sgt. Jack Hardgrave fighting in the Northern African campaign of the Second World War. Of course, in real life, the Allies in the African theater just had to contend with the military mind of Erwin Rommel. In Dino D-Day, the Nazis have resurrected the dinosaurs.
While the game will see a commercial release of its own, the developers have apparently released a teaser Half-Life 2 mod. I haven't downloaded it yet, and I don't know if it's any good, but I do know that this is the best idea ever. Seriously, why has it taken game designers so long to come up with "Hey, what if Hitler had a pet Deinonychus?"
