Carnivores Video Game Series
A series of hunting simulations in a science-fiction convention. The brand was created by Action Forms, but is currently being developed by Vogster Online studio with publishing support from Sony Computer Entertainment.
The Carnivores series debuted in 1998. The first installment of the series was released exclusively for PC. The idea of virtual dinosaur hunting was met with mixed reactions among players and reviewers. However, the developers at Action Forms did not give up, which translated into two more games: Carnivores 2 (1999) and Carnivores Ice Age (2001). After the acquisition of the rights to the brand by the Infogrames concern, the development of the fourth part of the series - Carnivores Cityscape (2002) was entrusted to the Sunstorm Interactive team. However, sales of the title fell below expectations, which effectively halted the development of the series. The brand returned in 2010 with Carnivores: Dinosaur Hunter, a refreshed version of Carnivores prepared by Tatem Games and Beatshapers studios for the PlayStation Portable console and smartphones and tablets. Three years later, another title was put into the hands of PlayStation 3 console users -. Carnivores: Dinosaur Hunter HD, a remake of Carnivores 2 created by the development team of Vogster Online.
The plot of most games in the series Carnivores is based on the same theme. In the distant future, humanity has mastered interstellar travel. One of the newly discovered planets resembles Earth from the time when dinosaurs ruled it. The Dino Hunt Inc. corporation organizes expeditions for clients wishing to hunt large reptiles - tyrannosaurs, stegosaurs, ceratosaurs, pteranodons, gallimimes and others.
The player takes on the role of a hunter who, equipped with futuristic weapons and hunting accessories, is transported to the surface of the dinosaur planet. Hunting takes place on small islands with varied terrain (including jungle, desert, rocks). Unlike typical FPSs, the gameplay requires not only reflexes and an accurate eye, but also the ability to sneak and track game.
At the time of its market debut, the initial installments of the series Carnivores were distinguished by attractive, visuals. Unfortunately, over the years, three-dimensional graphics began to deviate sharply from modern standards. Refreshed versions like Carnivores: Dinosaur Hunter HD have remastered graphics, generated by modern engines.
