Carnivores HD, now known as Carnivores: Reborn
To quickly summarize for those who might want to skip over this, it's a dinosaur hunting simulation game, a spiritual successor to the classic "Carnivores: Dinosaur Hunter" games.
It features intelligent AI, realistic weapons and very detailed environments with multiple weather and time conditions.
It's very beautiful.
Years of work was put into this game. All put together by a small team of people, (2 developers, IIRC from a personal email with them!)
Now you see, the problem...
...is that you may not have heard of it.Lot's of people no nothing about this games existence, which is sad.
The game has been released via Playstation Store, since September 2013. I never knew of its existence until New Years day, 2014, after seeing it being streamed by UberHaxorNova. :P
If you're a dinosaur advocate like me, you'll be all over this.
The game is set at a rather cheap price. Only $12.99 CAD. If you have a liking for these prehistoric animals, try the game out when you can.
You don't even have to hurt the dinosaurs!
You may select the option of using tranquilizer rounds, instead of actual bullets while hunting! Tranqs are set to default, GG devs!
Although, the game only has 3 maps...
Each are massive, and have multiple settings, which allow you to hunt in crazy weather conditions, or at times of the day at which different types of dinosaurs would be active.
Anyway..
check out these last few screenshots, just to get more of a taste.
The point of this post;
Is to bring attention to this work of art. For how much work has been put into the game, it's received nowhere near as much publicity as I think it should've.
Recently, (around September last year) the game developers announced a PC version of the game, and started a Kickstarter, which unfortunately failed, raising only about a third of the funds. This has led the devs to cut planned things from the game, as the small team just doesn't have the funding to (currently) put everything in.
So I ask you this, Imgur, please try to spread word of this game. It's creators deserve a surprise upon the PC release, which supposedly will be May 25th, this month.
Check out the trailer, and visit the site if you wanna learn moar about this awesomeness!

Sorry if it seems like blatant advertisement, I just really want to share this game with people as it seems that barely anyone know of it.
*note
this is a repost from earlier this morning, I decided it may have not been the best time to upload it at 4AM, while the majority of Imgur sleeps.

I remember playing the original Carnivores. It was shit your pants scary when you could hear a T-Rex coming but it's too dark to see it.
JediMasterKitFisto

I have a hard enough time fighting Deathclaws in New Vegas...i don't need something larger and more terrifying.

Played the original Carnivores as a kid, and played the hell out of it.
Naureleclipse

Assfullofbread
It took like 3 seconds for the bullet shot from the magnum to hit the t-rex...
Diezen
This is like Day Z but with dinosaurs! Delayed hits erryyyyyywhere.
OGNightHawk
LoL Killzone. Top Right where it says your name, click and then click messages. I have sent you 2 so far. xD
SwaggaChild
Holy crap I grew up playing carnivores. The T-Rexes were terrifying but 8 year old me felt like a god bringing one down.
TheRealPumpkinQueen
Love dinosaurs? Here's a game where you can kill them! Lol but for real looks cool
derpisasderpdoes
Cool! I needed a break from Besiege. Imgur: sticking up for the little guy in game development
KlaatuVaradaNicto
This looks cool actually. If it made it to PC it may do better. PCMR loves stuff like this.
whoaOP
Turok???

ToastyPotato
I wonder what the reviews for the original games were like. They were very under the radar back in the day.
kronikjoe
Based on 8 reviews.
clevernametom
...8 bad reviews.
WelcomeToImgurWhereOCIsMadeUpAndThePointsDontMatter
I have the original Carnivores and its sequel. I truly hope this is real.
Killzone3265
It is real! I've been playing it for over a year on PS3! lol
WelcomeToImgurWhereOCIsMadeUpAndThePointsDontMatter
You sir and/or madam, make me jelly
SelesnyaInTheStreetsRakdosInTheSheets
See, if there's a Mac release I'll be all over it, but the best I can do now is upvote in support :(
wantfastcars
On the other hand you have Orion: Prelude, which is what you get when you cross dinosaurs and a zombie game, and that only costs $0.99
Sauroctonus
I played that once... I don't intend to play it again.
wantfastcars
Believe it or not, it's actually gotten a LOT better. Still not GREAT, but actually worth the buck now.
DiamondGCalroseRice
+1 for Orion: Prelude. I COULD USE SOME BACKUP RIGHT NOW.
iostream64
Orion prelude was great, my computer's graphics just suck
DiamondGCalroseRice
Really? I didn't think it would be too graphics intensive, but then again I'm only running a GTX 750.
iostream64
I only have 256MB graphics.
DiamondGCalroseRice
Oh... yeah. That'll do it. lol.
SihayaOfTheAllPowerfulMeh
So we got this T-Rex toy for our baby and he likes to chew on it. We had this whole convo about how if dinosaurs were discovered living (1/2
SihayaOfTheAllPowerfulMeh
(2/2) somewhere today, someone would probably be hunting them and selling bacon or whatever. So we named the T-Rex Bacon. His favorite toy.
SarcasticTacos
Yo I played the shit out of Carnivores when I was a kid.
Emjayen
I spent 99% of that game panicking and trying to climb up mountains to escape from the Allosaurus's/Veliociraptors.
FlyinHawaiian13
Me too bro I loved it
pimpsquadbaby
@SarcasticTacos YES
briann6
I remember one time when spawned to start a game, I died right away because a raptor was right there.
DHR107
I only had the Demo and played the crap out of it :O
albatrossjank
Once killed a charging T-Rex from 3 yards away with a pistol.
CrazyKateKoons
ME TOO I CAN STILL HERE THE FROG CROAKING SOUND AFFECTS I WAS TERRIFIED OF THE VELOCIRAPTORS BECAUSE THEY CAME OUT OF NOWHERE
raabdingus
Only way to kill the T-rex was to shoot it in the eye. Which proved to be next to impossible without cheating.
crazydiamondmlp
DEBUGUP (for Carnivores 2 and Carnivores Ice Age anyway, I never had the first one)
TheLighthouseSavage
I remember doing it legitly... It was on the map with the lava ruins in theiddle. Just called it in and waited for it to smell the air.
Silverstream94
I just stood on top of an inaccessible mountain and used a buckshot till it died
HalloIamherenow
I took one down on a fluke once. I accidentally shot it in the eye with an X-bow, while having a panic attack.
Beepity
Just gotta shoot it while it's sniffing the air/ground, bro.
lotrgifmaker
Almost always have to use the sniper.
