Although dinosaurs are awesome, this game looks absolutely terrible based on this trailer. Everyone (dinosaurs included) are just sitting there shooting infini-lasers at each other until one dies.

Is it an RPG maybe? Combat looks very static, almost like dice rolls are being done. Would also explain the fact that noone dies despite being shot at. With lasers. While riding a dinosaur. Still can't quite get my head around that...

That doesn't redeem the game if so but, the combat's looking less twitch based and more stat based which could be cool. Potentially.

Damn those dinosaurs are so SLOOOOOOOOOW.
Oh by the way, you don't have to strafe and move around while shooting. You can stand perfectly still and shoot!
INNOVATION!

Ooh, nostalgia time. Anyone else remember a range of toys from the nineties that had dinosaurs with mounted guns and armour? The good guys tamed their dinos and the bad guys used control chips. I'm sure there was an animated series to go with it as well.

On topic : focusing on the action elements for your mmo trailer might not be the best idea... It rarely makes for riveting viewing.

Unnecessary Dinos should be in every game. I also like the realistic touch that people riding around on Dinos can't hit anything with their gun.

That explains why cowboys stopped riding dinosaurs and brandishing  lasers in favor of horses and the six shooter.  Because they were too slow.

For a game with laser guns and dinosaurs, that looked way too mellow. Music probably didn't help.

Worst trailer ever.  They took the same thing, spun the screen around a lot, with western music.  YAWN!

So, cowboys riding dinosaurs firing lasers guns. Sounds like an idea brewed from at least one narcotic substance, maybe four.

I get the feeling of F2P MMO thing where you can buy cooler dinosaurs.

Whatever it may be, it looks fucking stupid in a good way.
