Primal Carnage: Genesis could be described as a survival-FPS, with a mix of action and suspense. While there will be many scenarios through the course of the episodic series where the player will have to shoot down hordes of dinosaurs, this will not be a "run and gun" game where ammo and weapons abound anywhere you look. Stealth and puzzle solving will be required to get past many scenarios where an arsenal of weapons will either be unavailable or ineffective.There are a lot of advantages to the episodic model. It allows the story to be broken up into pieces and for each piece to end with satisfying cliffhanger events. With every episode we plan to introduce 2-3 major new features that define that each episode, which will make the series feel very dynamic with respect to gameplay. Players won't just feel like they're buying a piece of an unfinished game.
Additionally, by going episodic, we're able to reduce the cost that consumers have pay at any one time and the risk of them regretting paying $60 for a game they got bored with or didn't get around to finishing. We hope this will encourage more players to experience the game for the first time and those consumers who continue on through the series are more likely to be dedicated players. We also plan to take player feedback into account as we develop subsequent episodes. The model gives us the flexibility to make certain changes, such as a mechanic players want to see more or less of, or if there's a dinosaur that the fan base is really clamoring for.We'd love for players to be able to capture video clips of the terrifying encounters they have and share them immediately over social feeds. We're going to try to put as much [effort] as we can to support many of the new PS4 features for the first episode. But as we're just starting to work with the PS4, some of the new features may not be seen until later episodes in the series.Primal Carnage: Genesis has been inspired by a range of games including Amnesia (atmosphere and suspense), Dear Escher (visual storytelling, immersive experience, and attention to detail), Far Cry 3 (sandbox style of exploration and action), and Jurassic Park: Trespasser (a great dinosaur title, ahead of its time). Jurassic Park fans and anyone that likes these elements of the above games will definitely enjoy PC: Genesis.
