Effseven pointed me at this. I haven’t played it. It’s a proof-of-concept demo-release of the full game which the mod team will be playing. It could be terrible. It… actually, I refuse to believe it could be terrible. The world wouldn’t be that cruel. It’s a single player FPS mod about Hitler getting dinosaurs with the inevitable consequences. From the moment when watching the trailer the newspaper headline “DINOSAURS! They Are Real And The Nazis Have Them” appeared, there was no way I wasn’t posting this. Good luck in finishing it, Sez I.
Meanwhile, what’s your favourite Dinosaur, RPS readers? Mine’s the Brachiosaurus.

I’ve played it, and although it isn’t perfect its not bad for a concept. The ending is a little glitchy and confusing and the mapping could be better, but for a first try not bad sez I!
Played it through the end and it was pretty cool.
My favorite dinosaur is Deinonychus. I remember in 1994 when my family got our first computer we got some cds along and one of those were Microsoft Dinosaurs and as a wee boy it was great. Deinonychus looks like Velociraptors, but cooler :D. I also remember there being a very pixelated T-Rex movie on there which was amazing at the time.
I’m not seeing any swastikas on them dinos!
@Gabe – are you thinking of gunman chronicles? Cowboys Vs Robots Vs Dinosaurs? Ah the eternal dance continues…
Well you can tell it’s not a finished game but I had fun. My biggest problems were probably how blocky the dinosaurs movement looked, and the fact that ammo and medpacks ae placed randomly across the levels instead of in places where they, you know, make sense.
Pretty fun though, can’t wait for the real thing. :D
I’m a huge fan of the Brontosaurus for having the shear gall to not exist.
Plus of course the Styracosaurus, which is like a Triceratops but instead of having three spikes, it is ALL spikes.
Played it. The environment, sound effects and dino designs are ace. The combat itself is worth a “B”. The game is very short, but of course this is just a demo basically. A very interesting concept and universe with a fun execution. It’s definitely worth a playthrough for everyone.
Finally got to play this and I was a little disappointed. It works as a proof of concept and has a great tone, but the execution needs a lot of work before it’s worth a retail release. The dinosaurs look surprisingly good though, which is the cornerstone for something like this.
