Primal Prey II (Primal Prey: Extinction)

Primal Prey II (now dubbed Primal Prey: Extinction) is the sequel to the 2001 dinosaur hunting game by Arush Games and Sunstorm Interactive, Primal Prey. It was created using the Unreal Engine 5 by Sunstorm Interactive (Now Sunstorm Games) and Santa Monica Studio. It was released for PC on March 14, 2021 for Steam, and released for Consoles (PS4 and Xbox One) on June 22, 2021.

Synopsis
Takes place in 2110, 20 years after the events of Primal Prey, which occurred in 2090. DinoLabs Inc. has re-opened and has made many upgrades to their time portal, which allows for many more locations in the Mesozoic past to travel back in time to. There are 10 episodes + extra bonus missions and a random Trophy Hunt on each map.

Announcement Trailer
The announcement trailer shows an abandoned facility, with a computer screen that has fallen off a table. The area around the computer is dirt and blood-stained. The computer has a static-like sound, with the Primal Prey main title and theme playing. Growling is then heard in the distance, then a foot of a Utahraptor shatters the screen. Then the screen goes black.

The screen starts to lighten up, showing a game cinematic scene in the new DinoLabs Inc. HQ, about to enter the swirling blue vortex. The camera is in the player's POV, in a hallway-like room, being watched by the scientists of DinoLabs Inc. The player breathes hard, then runs right into the portal. It cuts out as the transporting sound is heard, then the scene cuts back right away. The player is in the treacherous lands of Montana, 65 million years ago. The player looks around, pterosaurs (assumed to be Pteranodons) are seen flying through the sky. The player takes a few steps in the mud from the portal, until loud footsteps are heard, making a loud THUD at each step. The footsteps get clearer and louder, then they stop. The player looks around for a bit, then the camera swurves to the face of a male Tyrannosaurus. The player lets out a scream, then the male T. rex lunges at the camera, making a growling sound. The screen cuts out, then it lightens up again. The words "Primal Prey: Extinction in a bone-like texture appear, on a mud-like surface. A Triceratops then walks up, and lets out a bellow, then turns into a bone-like texture.

Story
''20 years ago, the time portal created by DinoLabs Inc., enforced by the government, was shut down due to the lives of many hunters sent into the desolate landscape of a malfunctioned Prehistoric Utah during the Late Cretaceous period being lost. After 20 years, DinoLabs Inc. was brought back to life by the Sunstorm Interactive company, and things in the past have become more interesting. Once again, you have one, and only one chance to bring down... your Primal Prey.''

The player starts in Utah, and progresses throughout the game by completing each episode, which requires the player to shoot dinosaurs to complete it. There are three stars which are filled out depending if the mission was complete, if the harvested dinosaur(s) were the required weight or higher, and if they completed the mission in the required time. The player can buy equipment if he/she gets enough money from hunts.

After the player completes the first six maps, the player is sent back to the present due to a breakout going on in DinoLabs Inc. The most aggressive dinosaur, the Alpha Tyrannosaurus rex had escaped and is freeing the top secret hybrids and the rest of the Alphas. It is up to the hunter to end this threat and prevent danger to the entire world!

In 2018, Sunstorm Games announced that they would take a break from mobile games due to popular demand from mainly the Carnivores mainstream that they and Santa Monica Studios would make a sequel to the dinosaur hunting game Primal Prey, sadly, since Arush Games was disbanded, they would not be helping, but Todd Marshall was willing to help once again with the art design for the dinosaurs. The main 9 from the original Primal Prey, which included Gastonia, Styracosaurus, Utahraptor, Troodon, Iguanodon, Quetzalcoatlus, Triceratops, Lambeosaurus, and Tyrannosaurus rex would all be keeping their original colorations (for both genders), except the models will be more up-to-date. The kickstarter started in 2020 to get the game up and running, and to their surprise, it was a success!

Hunters
The hunter in the game is an ex-military trophy hunter selected to travel back in time to hunt dinosaurs. Before going out and hunting dinosaurs, the hunter was tested, going through intense physical and mental training to prepare him/her for what he/she would experience. Given only a tranq pistol and some basic riot armor, the hunter must rise to the top of the food chain to survive.

When first playing, the player can select his or her gender, then can customize his/her character. The starting location is forced to be Utah, but when all the missions are complete for the map, the next map is unlocked. As the player progresses through the game, skins for guns and characters are unlocked.

When the player completes Utah, he/she unlocks an almost-white desert camo riot vest.

When the player completes Egypt, he/she unlocks a pharaoh skin which is based on the player's gender.

When the player completes Argentina/Patagonia, he/she unlocks a Giganotosaurus skeleton decal on the sniper and tranq rifles.

When the player completes Mongolia, he/she unlocks a desert camo skin for the rail gun, which also gives it a blue projectile color.

When the player completes Alberta, he/she unlocks a Deinosuchus-skin riot vest.

When the player completes Montana, he/she unlocks a Tyrannosaurus skull helmet skin.

When the player completes DinoLabs Inc., he/she unlocks gold skins for every weapon, golden riot armor, the Alpha T. rex's skull as a helmet, and the Beacon, a special tool that can attract dinosaurs to the area you place the signal.

When the player harvests his/her first Albino dinosaur, he/she earns a white riot armor vest.

When the player harvests his/her first Albino apex dinosaur, he/she unlocks a white skin for the rail gun.

When the player harvests his/her first Melanistic dinosaur, he she unlocks a black riot armor vest.

When the player harvests his/her first Melanistic apex dinosaur, he/she unlocks a black skin for the rail gun.

More coming soon.

Melee

 * Combat Knife (Starter/Killing) - A medium-sized combat knife with an extra sharp blade that can easily cut softer dinosaur hide.
 * Machete (Killing) - A larger blade than the combat knife, the machete is perfect for self-defense. It can prevent lethal bites from small and medium-sized predators.
 * Hatchet (Killing) - A powerful hatchet that can damage bone makes it a perfect tertiary weapon to scare off those pesky predators.
 * Shock Prod (Tranq) - A high volt prod that can stun small dinosaurs in place.
 * Katana (Killing) - A slender, long-bladed weapon that can be swung quickly to lethally slash dinosaurs.
 * Stun Rod (Tranq) - A larger and more powerful electric weapon than the shock prod, this stun rod can prevent even the largest of carnivores from devouring you and can instantly immobilize small and medium-sized predators.
 * Battleaxe (Killing) - A giant and double-bladed axe that is used to barbarically hack and slash away at unaware dinosaurs. It is slower to swing due to its large size.
 * Heatblade (Killing/Limited Only Event) - A slender blade that extends from its hilt, revealing a glowing red blade. Like a railgun that you can slice dinosaurs with.

Bows

 * Longbow (Killing) - A metal longbow that can take down the smaller dinosaurs, but isn't very effective on larger creatures.
 * Tranq Bow (Tranq) - A metal bow with tranquilizing arrows. Several shots will be needed to take down most dinosaurs.
 * Compound Bow (Killing) - A reinforced compound bow with lethal arrows. Can bring down smaller creatures with ease and is great for medium-sized dinosaurs as well.
 * Crossbow (Killing) - A reinforced crossbow with extremely heavy bowstring for lethal use. A true silent killer. Scope can be attached for even more lethality from precision.
 * Tranq Crossbow (Tranq) - A reinforced crossbow equipped with tranquilizing bolts to sedate prey. Scope can be attached.
 * Tek Bow (Killing) - A large metal compound bow that fires plasma-tipped bolts that explode on contact. Preferred for medium and large game, as it can completely obliterate smaller dinosaurs.

Firearms
The firearms are classified into two groups, "Tranq" and "Killing." Tranq firearms do not kill dinosaurs, but knock them out. Killing firearms are lethal and will kill dinosaurs.
 * Tranq Pistol (Starter/Tranq) - A clip-fed pistol that fires a strong but slow acting sedative. Several shots will be needed to take down most dinosaurs.
 * Shotgun (Killing) - A widespread and large automatic chamber gives you a little protection from the more dangerous dinosaurs.
 * Hunting Rifle (Killing) - This .800 caliber rifle is very effective on smaller and medium dinosaurs, but it takes a while to take down the larger herbivores and predators. Scope can be attached.
 * Assault Rifle (Killing) - This 5.56 assault rifle is perfect for mowing down smaller dinosaurs with a hailstorm of bullets, but is not as powerful towards the larger herbivores and carnivores.
 * Sonic Blaster (Tranq) - Emits a wave of concentrated infrasonic sound waves to hammer the dinosaurs. A few bursts will stun, continued use will kill.
 * Electron Gun (Tranq) - This weapon fires charged electrons, stunning the target. Don't use in water as the charge will revert to the user.
 * Tranq Rifle (Tranq) - The heavy tranq rifle can immobilize a dino from long range. Attach a scope and you've got great long range capability.
 * Shrink Ray (Tranq) - Don't be intimidated by the size of monstrous dinosaurs. Shrink them down to a more manageable size, then knock them out. Be careful though, overuse can send a dino out of view from the naked eye.
 * Freeze Ray (Tranq) - This weapon sprays a misty form of liquid nitrogen at its targets, freezing their skin, nerves, and body in place. It is best not to use in water as you can freeze yourself or trap yourself under ice.
 * Flamethrower (Killing) - This weapon releases a long streak of hot fire that burns dinosaurs on contact. This weapon is very effective on smaller dinosaurs but it takes a while to take down smaller ones.
 * Sniper Rifle (Killing) - This .1000 sniper rifle gives you long range killing power. Stay a safe distance away and take down that carnivore. Works much better when equipped with a scope.
 * 1mm Rail Sniper (Killing) - This powerful sniper rifle fires a plasma-like projectile at extreme speeds and is excellent for large herbivores and carnivores. Attach a scope and you're basically untouchable.
 * 1mm Rail Assault (Killing) - This powerful DinoLabs Inc.-modified rail assault rifle fires multiple plasma-like projectiles at extreme speeds, making it a devastatingly powerful firearm for taking down large herbivores and carnivores. Attach a scope for better accuracy to increase your lethality even further.
 * Stasis Gun (Tranq) - This powerful stasis weapon will immobilize even the largest prey. Perfect for those missions to trap a large or dangerous trophy.
 * 2mm Rail Gun (Killing) - An ultimate in killing, the rail gun fires a plasma-like projectile at extreme speeds. Twice as powerful as the rail sniper, but slower reload means accuracy is vital. Attach a scope and nothing can stop you. This weapon is not meant for smaller game.
 * 4mm Rail Blaster (Killing) - The most powerful weapon DinoLabs Inc. has to offer, the 4mm Rail Blaster is a heavy gun that fires a large plasma-like projectile at barrier-breaking speeds. This powerful blaster can easily take down any giant carnivore but is very slow at reloading. This weapon is definitely not meant for smaller game.

Equipment

 * TSU (Starter) - This device displays a hologram of your hunting location, and marks where you place objects or where a dinosaur was killed at.
 * Binoculars - No fog, low glare lenses are perfect for humid environments where these binocs let you get a closer look at that dino.
 * Nightvision - These binocs feature light amplification for a short range view of your surroundings at night.
 * Call Box - Dual purpose tool creates both the call of any dinosaur and a holographic image.
 * Cover Scent - Cover scent will help to reduce your "human" scent, allowing you to go a little more undetected by both prey and predator dinosaur species.
 * Backup Ammo - When activated, DinoLabs Inc. will send a little drone from the present to resupply you with ammunition.
 * Weapon Scope - This high-powered scope can be attached to the hunting rifle, tranq rifle, sniper rifle, rail sniper, rail gun, and rail blaster to increase accurate range.
 * Dino Bait (Herbivore) - This device, when placed in the soil, releases the wet scent of ferns from vents on the side to attracting feeding herbivores.
 * Dino Bait (Carnivore) - This device, when placed in the soil, releases the scent of fresh blood from vents on the side to attract hungry carnivores.
 * Stasis Mine - A proximity fuse on this mine will detonate a large stasis blast when triggered. You can end up paralyzing yourself using this, so it's best to place a safe distance away from yourself.
 * Plasma Mine - A proximity fuse on this mine will detonate a large plasma blast when triggered. You can end up killing yourself using this, so it's best to place a safe distance away from yourself.
 * Thermal Optics - These detect heat emissions generated by your surroundings for a clear view of where dinos are lurking. Perfect for night hunting.

Skin Variations
There is a rare and uncommon variant of every species of dinosaur. These rares/uncommons give bonus money, and rare dinosaurs give hunters new weapon and riot armor skins.

Uncommon variants

 * Battle-Scarred - These uncommons are neutral/aggressive/very aggressive male herbivores and carnivores only. They are distinct from defaults by their ragged, battle-torn appearance.

Rare variants

 * Piebald - This rare variation can be found on all species of dinosaurs. They have the normal colorations but have large white patches covering their body. This is from a melanin mutation.


 * Albino - This variation can be found on all species of dinosaurs. Lacks skin pigment due to genetic mutation, making the dinosaur white with reddish-pink eyes. These majestic dinosaurs are sought by many hunters.

Seasons
Seasons are a game feature that affects player hunting, dinosaur behaviour, and dinosaur design. Below are the seasons and how it affects gameplay.
 * Autumn - The rut for Ceratopsians. During this time, the frill details on the males have brighter coloration, and will be seen sparring over females, and are more aggressive. Carnivores are more aggressive and are actively hunting for prey. (Maps with this Season: All maps excluding DinoLabs Inc.)
 * Winter - Landscapes are covered in snow. Carnivores are covered in plumage, and will attack anything they have a chance at, making them the most aggressive at this time. Ceratopsians develop quills on their backs. All herbivores will huddle up to develop heat, making it harder to shoot a specific individual. (Maps with this Season: Argentina/Patagonia, Alberta, Montana, Wyoming)
 * Spring - The breeding time for carnivores. Males will have brighter colorations, specifically on the head. Landscape's ferns and tree leaves appear emerald green. Male carnivores are more aggressive than females. (Maps with this Season: All maps including DinoLabs Inc.)
 * Summer - During this season, dinosaurs are out and about constantly searching for water, so hunting at watering holes would be preferable. Carnivores are less aggressive due to focusing on finding water.

Multiplayer
Multiplayer was added December 1, 2021. There are multiple game modes: The default story mode, Predator, Horde, and Escape. More information below.

Multiplayer Story

Behavior/AI
Since the last game's AI, the intelligence was increased dramatically with the sequel's dinosaurs. Here are some examples that have improved from the 2 decade old predecessor in this sequel. The new AI and improvements in the sequel include: More coming soon.
 * Carnivores no longer have the idle bug that occurred with some of them in the original.
 * Neutral and aggressive herbivores will now defend themselves from predators, whereas in the original game, they tried to flee but ended up being killed by predators not capable of taking them on.
 * Uninjured carnivores will not flee from the hunter as they sometimes did in the original game.
 * Hunting - Carnivores will now only hunt herbivores they are capable of taking on, and raptor packs can take on larger prey. Apex predators such as Tyrannosaurus can hunt everything besides the unkillables.
 * Awareness - Dinosaurs will now be more aware of their surroundings, and a herd matriarch (see Packs/Herds) can warn herd members of approaching danger. Carnivores will be aware depending on the wind of a hunter's presence.
 * Packs/Herds - Herds of herbivores are actively on the move, feeding and drinking. For a herd, there is a matriarch who stands on his/her hind legs, looking out for danger. If there is danger, the matriarch will warn the herd and the herd will flee. Social carnivores such as raptors and group hunters such as medium tyrannosaurs will be actively out and about looking for prey. There is an anonymous dominant carnivore in each pack, but can be distinguished from the rest of the pack as being the largest. If the dominant is killed, the rest of the pack will flee from the hunter.
 * Apex Mating Pairs - Apex predators, which are mainly solitary, can be seen in mating pairs during Spring (See Seasons). They are more dangerous as a pair and need to be taken out quickly. Once one of the pair is dead/sedated, the other will proceed to attack until hunter is dead.
 * Pterosaurs - Pterosaurs have gotten a major revamp. They are still actively flying, but can land on the ground and scavenge off of dinosaur corpses, and can be seen fishing in rivers, ponds, and lakes.
 * Defense - If an injured neutral or aggressive dinosaur gets cornered, it will try to defend itself from the hunter. Triceratops herds can also be seen rarely defending themselves from a Tyrannosaurus pair.

Aggression Scale
Passive - A dinosaur at this level will not mind your presence, and will flee if attacked.

Neutral - These dinosaurs will not mind your presence as long as you don't attack them or get too close. If attacked or if their space is invaded, they will attack.

Aggressive - These dinosaurs will not tolerate your presence and will try to eliminate you at whatever cost.

Very Aggressive - These dinosaurs will follow your scent just to hunt you down and rip you to shreds, or just eat you.

Trivia

 * In real life, killing or tranqing a dinosaur in the past would have dire consequences on the present and time itself.
 * The final level is similar to Carnivores: Cityscape, a game by Sunstorm Interactive made a year after Primal Prey's release, and even uses Primal Prey-similar designs.
 * Oviraptor, Nanotyrannus, and Giganotosaurus have their Carnivores: Cityscape designs with up-to-date models.
 * Unlike in the original Primal Prey, Quetzalcoatlus (along with the newcoming pterosaur, Pteranodon) can now stand and walk on the ground, and can even perch on trees.
 * Dinosaurs frozen by the freeze ray will break free if not bagged within 2 minutes.
 * The flamethrower does critical damage to small and medium dinosaurs, but large dinosaurs absorb more damage, though they still get damaged. This is similar to Primal Carnage: Extinction's Pyro.
 * The 2mm Rail Gun and 4mm Rail Blaster can obliterate small dinosaurs, such as Troodon and Utahraptor, to smitherenes. They cannot be bagged if blasted by these powerful weapons.
 * Although extremely rare, Alpha variants of the original nine can be found on the map their species are found on. However, Alpha rexes
 * Gastonia, Styracosaurus, Utahraptor, Iguanodon, Troodon, Quetzalcoatlus, Triceratops, Lambeosaurus, and T. rex are the original 9 from the first Primal Prey.
 * Todd Marshall was the artist for Primal Prey and Carnivores: Cityscape, and will be working for Primal Prey II once more.
 * If there is continuous use on a tranquilized dinosaur by the Sonic Blaster or Electron Gun, the dinosaur will die.
 * Unlike the original Primal Prey which was rated T, Primal Prey II takes a darker and more gruesome turn with the blood and gore, making it M rated.
 * If used too much on an unconscious shrunken dinosaur, the Shrink Ray will send a dinosaur into the microverse, and it will not be seen to the human eye.
 * The hunting rifle, freeze ray, flamethrower, rail sniper, and rail blaster are the new weapons added in with the original 9.
 * There is a game on Roblox named Primal Prey - Extinction, which is also made by me with some friends. Play it here! https://www.roblox.com/games/595067590/Primal-Prey-Extinction-PRE-ALPHA
 * Even though Compsognathus is from the Jurassic Period, it was added as an ambient for the first dinosaur ambient in the game.
 * Nyctosaurus can only be found on the Alberta map, and is only added through the Aquatic Hunts expansion.
 * Sarcosuchus is added as a huntable dinosaur (or croc) through the Aquatic Hunts expansion. It can be hunted on the Egypt map with a new expansion only mission.
 * The Heatblade limited weapon very closely resembles a lightsaber from the Star Wars franchise, hence why the event was released on May 4.
 * The legendary Velociraptor, Velocity, is an obvious reference to the character Velocity from Velocity: The Dark Human Slayer.
