@@SaurianTarget how do I save my game in carnivores 2 and ice age the originals from the 90s but when I leave after hours of playing it won’t save my game please tell me how to save my game
@@SaurianTarget Hello wassup everbody actually , I need help can anbody help me ? My problem is of carnivores 2 mod jurassic hunter legends and other mods of carnivores 2 so the error is if I use D3d render it only shows the land an no texture of dinos my guns no trees no sea etc and if I use 3dfxglide it shoes everything white except for sky in red and the software render sucks in graphics as well it isn't compatible with jurassic park hunter legends mod so if anyone can tell me a solution? I even asked on discord but nobody knew about that error.
@@abubakarmalik733 hey man, I had a similar problem while making my own C2+ mod. JP Hunters render engines weren’t that good, try swapping it it out with another mods d3d or 3dfx render engine, i used the Carn Triassic engines on my Carn Ice Age mod.
@@abubakarmalik733 or if you haven’t yet try setting the compatibility for Windows 98/Windows ME under the properties tab when you right click the icon
Definitely an improvement over the base game in terms of the AI and even some of the gameplay, but it's not as trouble free as I was hoping. Hope there will be patches for it. Eager to see your review Saurian!
@@SaurianTarget Yeah, I agree. I'm hoping we get some more animals to hunt as well. Even if it was just the Spino and the Velociraptor, it would be an excellent start
My only issues Death animations Missing/buggy animations Everything automatically being tranquilizers Spelling mistakes They should’ve waited another week to a month to release this, it’s very much in need of some polish
Im on ps4, i hope we get some classic dinos like Pachycephalosaurus, Velociraptor, Allosaurus, Spinosaurus, Sauropods, and your fav Chasmosaurus🤣. I also hope we get some reimagined maps like the destroyed fort and mysterious pyramid, and maybe a shotgun for those close encounters
I think the game looks pretty good actually, although I wish they would give it regular updates. Like new weapons, dinosaurs, gadgets, maps. Maybe a character customer in the menu or trophy room would be cool too.
Thanks for this review. Although you mentioned quite a few pro's, imo the cons completely overshadow the pro's atm. So I'm just gonna wait for the Steam version, which I hope will be a little more upgraded then the state it's in right now.
The biggest con is that it’s been 8 years and they’ve barely changed anything in this game that would even be satisfying for 1 year of development time.
@@hypn0298 Yeah, you're right. I do hope though when the PC users that own Reborn get a free copy of Dinosaur Hunt that there has at least been updated SOMETHING. Even if its just a minor improvement.
I got an idea in might share with them Dinosaur takedowns: To give the predators more nature and scarier,they can do kill animations on even other dinosaurs Similar to the animal takedowns in the far cry series. Example: A T-rex chases a stegosaurus and then bites it on the and snaps it like a toothpick and roars in triumphant. Or a Ceratosaurus chasing some gallimimus and scooping up one in its mouth What do you guys think
I definitely think that Dinosaur hunt is just your same character revisiting the spot after letting himself go for a long time, so he's trying to do it to get fit again lol. This has got to be the only canonical explanation.
It´s a start, hopefully with frequent updates... The dinosaur roster is great an all, but too small for me personally... I can see myself playing more of the Carnivores HD on mobile than this one for now because of the variety, hopefully this game blows our minds in the long run and trully makes this franchise ´´reborn´´, there is a LOT of potential
Been playing on the PS4 and been having a blast! Only gripe is the overall lack of content and some of the bugs mentioned (the call bug where you can't swap between them without the animal tracker bugs me). Would love to see some new animals, some new guns, and even maybe some new behaviors for the roster in general.
Ha this...thing. I remembered seeing the title image and thought it was a survival game like The Forest but with Dinosaurs just to see the Carnivores logo and got excited thinking it's a new entry...just to be disappointed to find out it's a lesser port of the Reborn with is a release of HD on PS3.
A great review that covered all of the game from its highs to its lows. Many of my issues with Dinosaur Hunt were also encountered by yourself as you played as well. I really do hope that we do see some fixes and updates coming along for Dinosaur Hunt as the potential of the game is still present. But with the sound design needing work, some of the simple bugs with controls not working, and more you've listed in the video the game needs more TLC to fix it before we see new content added. But overall an alright experience on the new consoles from Reborn's time and some nice QoL improvements to the game as well despite some of its issues. Excellent video my friend.
Hey Saurian! FIrst up, Thanks for the ''Happy Birthday'' - Means alot! Anyway, potential update for DIno Hunt: It is not very well known, but Spinosaurus and Allosaurus are in the files of Reborn - Just not being used. Perhaps they can come back on these and add two new species?
Saurian please respond! I just installed carnivores 1,2 and ice age but on all of them when I leave the game it won’t save my progress please tell me how to save!
PC gang here, though it still has glaring problems that need fixing and hopefully will be fixed, it’s still a step in the right direction, I'm hyped to go on another dino hunting trip on this alien planet again, and man do I hope they add more dinos in the future to spice up the roster a bit more like allosaurus, velociraptor or even amargasaurus
A really good review thanks. Still makes me wonder how literally with a second re-release there are still so many fundamental issues and also new issues with the game that could seemingly easily be fixed. Let's hope they push through this time and patch the hell out of it and add the much needed content.
I think of the less canon-style carnivores style dinosaurs as a different species Dinocorp gave the same name to, because they at least have some similarities. As well as the gigantic spinosaurus in older versions of the mobile port being a deformity that gives them gigantism.
I had actually picked up Reborn on sale in anticipation for when Dino Hunt comes to Steam. After watching your video, I honestly don't think I can see myself even playing the "new" game until DDE fixes everything that Reborn and HD already offered. I honestly can't understand how the same company can eff up the same game three times in a row. The only saving grace I see for this game is using the Unity engine, so the community can potentially fix and add new stuff that the devs couldn't or wouldn't do. "A delayed game is eventually good, but a rushed game is forever bad." - Shigeru Miyamoto
I think the Steam version should include any patches/updates the game gets between now and the PC release, so hopefully by the time it gets to you, it’ll be in a better state
This sure is one great Saurian Target video on Carnivore: Dino Hunter (2021), and this was amazing review. Also I wish you a great day,you amazing dude.
By the way - the August update pretty much added all of the things you mentioned as being missing. Lethal, Observer, blood, red tracks, press to evac trophy, hold to evac self, etc.
I’m playing it on my PS4, I used to have the original version on my PS3, and despite the heavy grind and lack of ambient animals, I’m still having a blast, I can’t wait for updates that will bring the ambient animals back as well as maybe more Dino’s to hunt :)
I wonder what saurian is goona think of the game its so much better than reborn and HDps3 but there are still a few small glitches but not as annoying as the animals getting stuck on rocks and trees
Great review Saurian! I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who has had those MIST glitches. Based on the gameplay I've seen, I think those are unique to PS4, though I'll be curious to know if any XONE or Switch players can confirm that. I never got HD or Reborn, but what convinced me to pick Dinisaur Hunt was the improved AI and the ability to hunt any dino on any map. That was worth the price of admission for me, and I've been REALLY enjoying the game (Ceratosaurus is TERRIFYING)! I can see why there are such mixed feelings, so I'm glad to see that you're review was in depth, thorough, and that you actually unlocked everything and experienced it all before trying to review it. Everyone has their own standards for what is worth a purchase, and I think reviews of this quality will be very helpful to other Carnivores fans or the curious to help them know if this is something they could enjoy in its current state. Sorry for the long comment. I only recently found your channel, but you single-handedly got me back into Carnivores and convinced me to try out mods. For that, you have my thanks and subscription :) You're channel is awesome!
So far Im liking where this is going. Although it would have been neat if the dino assets were tweaked, my ideal designs would have been a mix of retrosaurus with moder modern depictions
I'm going to be waiting until it comes out on Steam to play it. I'm hoping that some of the issues you mentioned will be fixed before it's released on Steam.
According to Digital Dreams they are! So hopefully they stick to that. Apparently a Steam release is coming in late summer, along with bug fixes and changes, so if they stick to that then that'll be great!
Whenever there is multiple dinosaurs and you want to take them all out silently just take them out and then once they’re all gone call in the retriever bot for them
@@SaurianTarget Oh yeah, I have only progressed to the trike so I don’t really know about the predators. What I’ve seen about them so far is they are scary
I been playing on my switch for awhile and there’s one problem with it I would be having a good hunt and it would crash on me ,soft-lock or screen lock this happens to me for awhile I would say that the switch can’t really handle all the details and software but come on Jurassic world evolution can handle all that. So yeah hopefully they will fix this problem that in a future update. So yeah the games really fun to play 9/10 very nice⭐️
it certainly has nothing to do with the switch'es horsepower. There are several FPS on switch that look and run WAY better than Carnivores. Hopefully they fix the problems with an update soon. The game itself is tons of fun.
As someone who has played the Switch port, I think the game would actually benefit from having gyro-controls when playing in hand-held mode. Having the *option* to be able to aim in a more naturalistic manner would have made the game a bit more immersive.
I hope for some patches first to reintroduce the cut things and iron stuff out first. Here's hoping it sells well enough at least to not be abandoned immediately
Great review, I'm curious about trying this for myself once it hits PC, overall do you feel it's an improvement or a step back from Reborn? And what do you feel about the removal of mutations?
Thank you, my friend! Good to hear from you again. Honestly, I feel like it’s mostly a lateral step from Reborn, but if I had to say, I’d go with improvement. I think the issues with Reborn were worse than Dinosaur Hunt’s issues, it’s largely fixed what made Reborn unplayable for me, but it’s added new problems in the process. Personally, I’m very happy there are no mutated dinosaurs, I’d rather have more natural dinosaur variety than mutants.
When I was a teenager I played this on windows 98 lol. Very nostalgic. Hope they improve this game because I’d like to revisit it and play again but the cons seem like this new version is worse than the one I played 20 years ago. You’d think they’d have improved it since then. The idea of hunting dinosaurs is so fun and exciting for a video game.
This was a 50/50 for me. I played both this and the PS3 version. The PS3 version was amazing cause it was new, had all the mentioned features in the video and was immersive by not creating fake sounds. The PS4 version has the advantage of hunting all dinosaurs in all maps, but it really needs to be fixed with updates. A dlc new dino is all I want. My 2 major bugs with the new version are that pteranodons fly to the ground sometimes and the running button sometimes becomes other actions like crouching or taking a breather. Also the balance is a mess with gadgets, before the Revolver, double ammo and x-Ray didn’t affect score but now X-ray, beeps and radar have become the most expensive gadgets when taking gems away, and no gadget is without the cost of giving you less gems. So stacking all 2% seems like the new way to play
Since the first version released in 2013? Not by much. Mostly that it’s been moved to an engine that doesn’t break with every update with, in theory, allows the devs to add new content easier.
I understand its a rebuilt game but some of the feature omissions and game changes are just confusing. Idk if im interested in this game in its current state.
Hmm I also got this twice (PS3/PC) and I instantly thought to get it on switch when I saw it but understood that ya it's been fun but nothing new had been added. Hopefully we'll see some updates this time and those bug fixes implemented. AI improvements got me excited. Good Review!
I'm playing it on Xbox. Honestly I hope they address all the issues you brought up, and also maybe add the remaining legacy creatures, like Velociraptor and Spinosaurus, as for new dinosaurs, Maybe Megalosaurus and Iguanodon
Hello, Saurian. I would like to share my opinion on Carnivires Dinosaur Hunt. I bought the game on the 2nd and finished it on the 8th (yesterday). So here are my thoughts on the game. *General:* so the game has added grinding to itself. You need to earn everything you want, and i'm ok with it. You can even *upgrade* your weapon, gear and hunter! And although some - if not most - prices are high, i wasn't bothered, considering i gained about 100 gems per hunt. By the time i purchased the Sniper Rifle, i already unlocked Basmachee Rocks! I was THAT patient. The upgrades to the equipment are great. The Decoy upgrade makes it recharge faster, the range and damage upgrades to the weapons and the hunter upgrades that boost the effects of Camouflage and Cover Scent by *50%* are excellent to me. *Maps:* They're great, to say the least. My favourite is the Great Forest (in the fog, too). My one complaint is the lack of ambient animals. Pteranodon is there (i often see them flying in the sky and sometimes spot their shadows), but where are Gallimimus and Pelecanimimus? They were present in HD and Reborn, but why not in Dinosaur Hunt? I hope one of the updates includes them. Other than that, Dinosaur Hunt's maps are fantastic. *Dinosaurs:* While the amount has remained unchanged, i'm not bothered with it this time around, seeing as the game will receive updates down the road. Speaking of which, i agree with Spinosaurus and Velociraptor, but we also need Allosaurus and Dilophosaurus. Come on, we need more dinosaurs from the Jurassic. Stegosaurus and Ceratosaurus are out numbered 2 to 4 (2 to 7 if you count the ambient animals). Moving on to the dinosaurs in the game, they're excellent! Just fantastic! Their senses are well implemented. My hunting strategy with the herbivores was to sneak up behind them hidden behind a tree or a rock downwind of them (if possible, depending on the terrain) within 70 metres from them (the Rifle's effective range is 75, so i had to get pretty close) and that made me feel like an effecient predator stalking its prey. And the carnivores, as if they weren't scary enough in HD and Reborn, are absolutely horrifying! The moment they detect you, they'll roar and charge with open jaws (explaining the Ceratosaurus photos in your previous video). I was so scared when i saw my first Ceratosaurus charge right at me. It's a wonder how i brought it down! And the T Rex... i legitimately panicked when it charged. And again when i tried to hunt it the second time! One last thing about them: remember that picture of a T Rex in Delapheus Hills? There's a M.I.S.T. upgrade (i think it was called "Pro License") that allows you to hunt ALL dinosaurs on ALL maps! That's just awesome. Side note: their calls are majestic. I *love* Ceratosaurus' and T Rex's roars! Those were my thoughts. What do you think?
Although this is a nice sight, It would be good to have something other than a reboot of a reboot of a reboot. Even just an entirely new reboot game that focusses on the originals and doesn't try to just push out another carnivores game
I think everyone knows this, but they added most of the complaints to the game! I wasn't gonna buy it until I found that out. Hoping to help anyone who was thinking like me!
One minor thing I noticed on some gameplay videos (although correct me if this isn't the case or I somehow missed you talking about it in this video) is that the rifle has increased ammo per clip, which kinda feels like an unnecessary buff. You don't need to be quite as careful with your ammo anymore and I think it was perfectly fine with just 3/4 shots. Plus I have no clue how 5 bullets are fitting into that thing to begin with
I will say, on Xbox at least, I have encountered a bug (or maybe intentional feature?-) that causes me to get absolutely trapped in Delphaeus hills. It's a spot with trees and rocks and a little space just big enough to hold the hunter in the center, and if you decide to fill that gap, you can't get out. Your feet don't truly touch the ground so you can't Sprint, jump, run, or anything; all you can do is look around. And you can't evacuate, as you can't meet with the air ship. Also on Xbox, I've been able to get Ceratsaurus and the T.Rex to get stuck in a circle around me. Other than that, I'm glad I get to play Carnivores in somewhat relavency. Playing the same old mods gets boring after a bit, the mobile ports are a pain to play, and Reborn and HD exist I suppose. But I'd love to see this game get the attention and care it finally deserves after so long :)
This game isn't really a remaster of the original Carnivores that came out in 1998. None of the maps are the same. I remember maps called The Ancient Temple, The Woods of Turan Choks, Jungles of Gravitsappa, The Pyramids of Smhu-Hadron and The Great Lake. I wish they would put those maps in instead of these ones.
Any OGs out there who has been playing since the very first carnivores game on PC. I remember my uncles and me playing that alot. Carnivores,Croc,AVP and star trek best and my first PC games.😃😎
Thanks for the review. With the non-lethal bullet system and not being able to delete trophies and having to collect everything you kill to get points also no points for non-licensed dinosaurs seems like the negatives outweigh the pros. I've been playing since the beginning but I think I'm going to pass on this one and stick to the classics!
No problem, glad it helped! The first update for the game (coming out in a few weeks) is going to address those concerns, so it may be worth revisiting once updated! I have a link to a Twitter thread containing the update’s details in my most recent community post if you’re interested.
Carnivores Dinosaur Hunt should have a modding community like previous Carnivores games, a good example would be Fallout 4, it has its own modding community on PC, PlayStation and Xbox. Carnivores Dinosaur Hunt should follow suite on a modding community for all gaming platform where both new and old Carnivores players can download. May there be DLC so I can relive my childhood dream PLEASE. Also I'm playing on a Xbox One S.

Sorry for the long comment. I only recently found your channel, but you single-handedly got me back into Carnivores and convinced me to try out mods. For that, you have my thanks and subscription :)
You're channel is awesome!
Thanks for the kind words, Thomas! I’m glad you enjoyed the review and are enjoying Dinosaur Hunt!
So far Im liking where this is going. Although it would have been neat if the dino assets were tweaked, my ideal designs would have been a mix of retrosaurus with moder modern depictions
Honestly, that is also my dream Carnivores aesthetic. Maybe one of these days…
Subnautica, in jurassic age, thats the game we want
Urm, ark
Seriously can not wait for this to come to PC.
Did the Mutant Dinosaurs return?
As far as I can tell, they did not
@@SaurianTarget That's a shame
I'm going to be waiting until it comes out on Steam to play it. I'm hoping that some of the issues you mentioned will be fixed before it's released on Steam.
According to Digital Dreams they are! So hopefully they stick to that. Apparently a Steam release is coming in late summer, along with bug fixes and changes, so if they stick to that then that'll be great!
@@JCRev im curious about modding support for steam release ,i wait mainly because i dont want buy on console and get stuck with no moddable version .
Whenever there is multiple dinosaurs and you want to take them all out silently just take them out and then once they’re all gone call in the retriever bot for them
Every time I do that, a Ceratosaurus gets to them before I do, then I get 0 points for all that work
@@SaurianTarget Oh yeah, I have only progressed to the trike so I don’t really know about the predators. What I’ve seen about them so far is they are scary
They certainly are!
I been playing on my switch for awhile and there’s one problem with it
I would be having a good hunt and it would crash on me ,soft-lock or screen lock this happens to me for awhile I would say that the switch can’t really handle all the details and software but come on Jurassic world evolution can handle all that. So yeah hopefully they will fix this problem that in a future update. So yeah the games really fun to play 9/10 very nice⭐️
it certainly has nothing to do with the switch'es horsepower. There are several FPS on switch that look and run WAY better than Carnivores. Hopefully they fix the problems with an update soon. The game itself is tons of fun.
As someone who has played the Switch port, I think the game would actually benefit from having gyro-controls when playing in hand-held mode. Having the *option* to be able to aim in a more naturalistic manner would have made the game a bit more immersive.
*I HOPE they do their part and if it sells well we get DLCs*
I hope for some patches first to reintroduce the cut things and iron stuff out first. Here's hoping it sells well enough at least to not be abandoned immediately
Agreed. Bug fixes first, then DLC. Don’t want to add new problems on top of what’s already broken
They should also add dinosaur fighting animations like a ceratosaurus fighting a stego or trike fighting a t-rex
the perfect game would be Far Cry with dinosaurs
Yes! Jurassic Park themed, set in the 1990s on Site B.
That have that. Far cry primal
@@phillipsciano979 the primal doesn't have dinosaurs. But it's a very good game.
Does this have motion controls with the Switch?
I've heard that the reason the game is very stripped down right now is because this stuff is going to be added in future patches.
Will you still be able to buy dinosaur hunt on steam even if you haven’t already bought reborn?
Great review, I'm curious about trying this for myself once it hits PC, overall do you feel it's an improvement or a step back from Reborn? And what do you feel about the removal of mutations?
Thank you, my friend! Good to hear from you again.
Honestly, I feel like it’s mostly a lateral step from Reborn, but if I had to say, I’d go with improvement. I think the issues with Reborn were worse than Dinosaur Hunt’s issues, it’s largely fixed what made Reborn unplayable for me, but it’s added new problems in the process. Personally, I’m very happy there are no mutated dinosaurs, I’d rather have more natural dinosaur variety than mutants.
@@SaurianTarget Hopefully we get natural variants, it adds the variety we got with mutants but less, I don't know, awkward or forced?
Agreed. Just subtle variations between individuals feels a lot more natural and exciting than some man made-monstrosity
Holy shit, I can't belive they recreated the game of my childhood!
When I was a teenager I played this on windows 98 lol. Very nostalgic. Hope they improve this game because I’d like to revisit it and play again but the cons seem like this new version is worse than the one I played 20 years ago. You’d think they’d have improved it since then. The idea of hunting dinosaurs is so fun and exciting for a video game.
Cant wait to play it
This was a 50/50 for me. I played both this and the PS3 version. The PS3 version was amazing cause it was new, had all the mentioned features in the video and was immersive by not creating fake sounds. The PS4 version has the advantage of hunting all dinosaurs in all maps, but it really needs to be fixed with updates. A dlc new dino is all I want. My 2 major bugs with the new version are that pteranodons fly to the ground sometimes and the running button sometimes becomes other actions like crouching or taking a breather. Also the balance is a mess with gadgets, before the Revolver, double ammo and x-Ray didn’t affect score but now X-ray, beeps and radar have become the most expensive gadgets when taking gems away, and no gadget is without the cost of giving you less gems. So stacking all 2% seems like the new way to play
Great and agreeable critiques :)
Thank you!
@@SaurianTarget The game just had an update (within the past couple hrs). Different hunting modes and various other changes made. Check it out ;)
I remember this game so much I got endless fun from it, I wonder if it's still available for download or in existence as a disk anywhere
How has this game improved since released if at at?
Since the first version released in 2013? Not by much. Mostly that it’s been moved to an engine that doesn’t break with every update with, in theory, allows the devs to add new content easier.
I understand its a rebuilt game but some of the feature omissions and game changes are just confusing. Idk if im interested in this game in its current state.
I hope they’ll add back those features within the first couple of updates
Hmm I also got this twice (PS3/PC) and I instantly thought to get it on switch when I saw it but understood that ya it's been fun but nothing new had been added. Hopefully we'll see some updates this time and those bug fixes implemented. AI improvements got me excited. Good Review!
Did the PC version come out?
Not yet, the dev team is working on it
The exciting part for me is that it's been basically confirmed that the game will get DLC and added content if it does well.
That’s true, but they also said that about HD and Reborn as well
@@SaurianTarget Hopefully this case is different. One can hope, at least. I know both Reborn and HD didn't sell well.
when does this come out on steam?
Probably on Christmas time
I'm playing it on Xbox. Honestly I hope they address all the issues you brought up, and also maybe add the remaining legacy creatures, like Velociraptor and Spinosaurus, as for new dinosaurs, Maybe Megalosaurus and Iguanodon
Are the devs going to add more dinosaurs??
I hope so!
Hello, Saurian. I would like to share my opinion on Carnivires Dinosaur Hunt.
I bought the game on the 2nd and finished it on the 8th (yesterday).
So here are my thoughts on the game.
*General:* so the game has added grinding to itself. You need to earn everything you want, and i'm ok with it. You can even *upgrade* your weapon, gear and hunter! And although some - if not most - prices are high, i wasn't bothered, considering i gained about 100 gems per hunt. By the time i purchased the Sniper Rifle, i already unlocked Basmachee Rocks! I was THAT patient.
The upgrades to the equipment are great. The Decoy upgrade makes it recharge faster, the range and damage upgrades to the weapons and the hunter upgrades that boost the effects of Camouflage and Cover Scent by *50%* are excellent to me.
*Maps:*
They're great, to say the least. My favourite is the Great Forest (in the fog, too).
My one complaint is the lack of ambient animals. Pteranodon is there (i often see them flying in the sky and sometimes spot their shadows), but where are Gallimimus and Pelecanimimus? They were present in HD and Reborn, but why not in Dinosaur Hunt? I hope one of the updates includes them.
Other than that, Dinosaur Hunt's maps are fantastic.
*Dinosaurs:*
While the amount has remained unchanged, i'm not bothered with it this time around, seeing as the game will receive updates down the road.
Speaking of which, i agree with Spinosaurus and Velociraptor, but we also need Allosaurus and Dilophosaurus. Come on, we need more dinosaurs from the Jurassic. Stegosaurus and Ceratosaurus are out numbered 2 to 4 (2 to 7 if you count the ambient animals).
Moving on to the dinosaurs in the game, they're excellent! Just fantastic!
Their senses are well implemented. My hunting strategy with the herbivores was to sneak up behind them hidden behind a tree or a rock downwind of them (if possible, depending on the terrain) within 70 metres from them (the Rifle's effective range is 75, so i had to get pretty close) and that made me feel like an effecient predator stalking its prey.
And the carnivores, as if they weren't scary enough in HD and Reborn, are absolutely horrifying! The moment they detect you, they'll roar and charge with open jaws (explaining the Ceratosaurus photos in your previous video). I was so scared when i saw my first Ceratosaurus charge right at me. It's a wonder how i brought it down! And the T Rex... i legitimately panicked when it charged. And again when i tried to hunt it the second time!
One last thing about them: remember that picture of a T Rex in Delapheus Hills? There's a M.I.S.T. upgrade (i think it was called "Pro License") that allows you to hunt ALL dinosaurs on ALL maps! That's just awesome.
Side note: their calls are majestic. I *love* Ceratosaurus' and T Rex's roars!
Those were my thoughts. What do you think?
Great thoughts!
@@SaurianTarget thanks 😊
What about my hunting strategy for the herbivores?
I’ll probably get this one. But I’d love a re-release of the original on consoles too. So much nostalgia
Saurian target is the one that introduced me to carnivores and i got to say im a lucky little sucker.
-Andrei
Although this is a nice sight,
It would be good to have something other than a reboot of a reboot of a reboot.
Even just an entirely new reboot game that focusses on the originals and doesn't try to just push out another carnivores game
What makes this different than reborn?
Better graphics, Better dinosaur behaviour, can hunt the dinos in all maps and two future dlc dinosaurs
Quite a few steps back, but at least it's something
Hopefully we’ll get those steps forward in an update or patch
I think everyone knows this, but they added most of the complaints to the game! I wasn't gonna buy it until I found that out. Hoping to help anyone who was thinking like me!
Nicee
One minor thing I noticed on some gameplay videos (although correct me if this isn't the case or I somehow missed you talking about it in this video) is that the rifle has increased ammo per clip, which kinda feels like an unnecessary buff. You don't need to be quite as careful with your ammo anymore and I think it was perfectly fine with just 3/4 shots. Plus I have no clue how 5 bullets are fitting into that thing to begin with
That’s right, there are 5 bullets in the rifle, and I agree, it does feel like a bit much.
I will say, on Xbox at least, I have encountered a bug (or maybe intentional feature?-) that causes me to get absolutely trapped in Delphaeus hills. It's a spot with trees and rocks and a little space just big enough to hold the hunter in the center, and if you decide to fill that gap, you can't get out. Your feet don't truly touch the ground so you can't Sprint, jump, run, or anything; all you can do is look around. And you can't evacuate, as you can't meet with the air ship.
Also on Xbox, I've been able to get Ceratsaurus and the T.Rex to get stuck in a circle around me.
Other than that, I'm glad I get to play Carnivores in somewhat relavency. Playing the same old mods gets boring after a bit, the mobile ports are a pain to play, and Reborn and HD exist I suppose. But I'd love to see this game get the attention and care it finally deserves after so long :)
This game isn't really a remaster of the original Carnivores that came out in 1998. None of the maps are the same. I remember maps called The Ancient Temple, The Woods of Turan Choks, Jungles of Gravitsappa, The Pyramids of Smhu-Hadron and The Great Lake. I wish they would put those maps in instead of these ones.
Those maps would be cool!
Any OGs out there who has been playing since the very first carnivores game on PC. I remember my uncles and me playing that alot. Carnivores,Croc,AVP and star trek best and my first PC games.😃😎
Let's go guys
Thanks for the review. With the non-lethal bullet system and not being able to delete trophies and having to collect everything you kill to get points also no points for non-licensed dinosaurs seems like the negatives outweigh the pros. I've been playing since the beginning but I think I'm going to pass on this one and stick to the classics!
No problem, glad it helped! The first update for the game (coming out in a few weeks) is going to address those concerns, so it may be worth revisiting once updated! I have a link to a Twitter thread containing the update’s details in my most recent community post if you’re interested.
What difficulty are you playing this on?
Currently, there are no difficulty options.
The game feels great on my PlayStation
Carnivores Dinosaur Hunt should have a modding community like previous Carnivores games, a good example would be Fallout 4, it has its own modding community on PC, PlayStation and Xbox. Carnivores Dinosaur Hunt should follow suite on a modding community for all gaming platform where both new and old Carnivores players can download. May there be DLC so I can relive my childhood dream PLEASE. Also I'm playing on a Xbox One S.
This is available on pc or is that reborn
Right now, this is just on consoles, but it will be available on PC soon.
@@SaurianTarget thank you I really wanna play this game
Hello wassup everbody actually , I need help can anbody help me ? My problem is of carnivores 2 mod jurassic hunter legends and other mods of carnivores 2 so the error is if I use D3d render it only shows the land an no texture of dinos my guns no trees no sea etc and if I use 3dfxglide it shoes everything white except for sky in red and the software render sucks in graphics as well it isn't compatible with jurassic park hunter legends mod so if anyone can tell me a solution? I even asked on discord but nobody knew about that error.
yea I too have this problem.......
I hope one day they wise up and do a proper re-release of the OGs they have on mobile. Retro-styled games are in these days, it’d sell.
I am loving this game so far but its hard for me to play it with the near constant crashing on switch
I’ve heard a lot about crashing on the Switch, hopefully that’ll be addressed in the first patch
I’ve never got to play the game till now
And I absolutely love it!
Sadly haven’t been able to unlock the tyrannosaurus yet though
Also I wish there were more Dino’s in the game
Well for me it will come out During night so yolo sucks to be me lol
