Primal Rage

Late to the party here but a couple of quick thoughts:

  1. Ed Boon asks a lot of questions in Twitter and is famous for trolling. So I wouldn’t get overly excited.

  2. Primal Rage 2 was, sadly, probably a smart cancellation. The game would have cost a ton to make and then probably released right around the time arcades died in the US. It was a hugely ambitious idea but I don’t know that the change in concept (to more of a Bloody Roar style) would have been popular. I also don’t think the home consoles at the time would have been able to handle it well. PS famously had trouble loading in Shang Tsung’s transformation animations when he switched characters. Holding all this animation frames in memory is a problem on ram limited CD rom systems. This is why even SF kept setting the standard for Cartridge sizes back on SNES.

  3. I think the biggest opportunity for a new PR game is to take the game and emulate the look of hand animated Harryhausen dinosaurs using modern 3D modeling. Something like ArcSys has done with GG.
