"WOW!"

Sorry for another WOW post but have you seen the E3 Footage of Dino Crisis 3? Just when the Resident Evil series thought it could take its foot of the accelerator I think it needs to check out this:

Right click the download and click Save Target As. Its only 12mb so even those who don't have Broadband should be able to get it. Its absolutley amazing and if you check out the detail you will be amazed. The GameCube has Resident Evil 4 but the Xbox has something that should equal it. Anyone else looking forward to this game? Its about time the Xbox got a decent horror game and this looks like it could end up being a Resident Evil beater.

On second reflection, it actually does look like a game to take a serious look at. I got my original information from XBM's awful preview.

Apparently they're just the baby Dinosaurs, the bigger, better ones are still to be revealed :)

Maverick, Go stand in the corner and think of what you have said!

BC looks absolutely awesome! Its early days yet, but it shows one heck of a lot of promising ideas, but if they work, we'll have to wait and see. Here I found a preview type thing off IGN, I think you should read it. Now.

Looks balls in my opinion. Just seen some cavemen running away from a tiny little reptile, and then some 'innovative weaponry' screenshots - they roll a boulder into a small dinosaur. No weapons, boring creatures.. doesn't look especially impressive really.

I think CAPCOM mentioned it in the press release, or it was in one of the screenshots.

What I'm getting at is that I'd much rather have a non-futuristic, down to earth dinosaur game that really captures the fear and frantic survival of Jurassic Park. Basically Turok meets JP, but done much, much better. If anyone's played the dinosaur level of the original Tomb Raider - you'll understand my wishes.

Imagine a living, breathing island inhabited fully by dinosaurs. It should be free roaming with one objective - get out alive. T-Rex chases, raptor tactics, non-threatening creatures (i.e. herbivores), allies, etc. Imagine Morrowind crossed with Jurassic Park.

But Dino Crisis 3 could be a suprise classic - I have, after all, been rather impressed with CAPCOM recently.

Dino Crisis 3 will be a decent Dinasaur game and I think it could end up like an Aliens meets Event Horizon meets Jurassic Park which could have some excellent results. Change is sometimes what a series needs just to keep people happy and I am highly anticpating Dino Crisis 3 for this reason.

BC looks cool. :D

The screenshots I've seen aren't especialy amazing. Good looking but nothing astounding.

And the premise just sounds, to be honest, shi*e. Still, I haven't played it, so.

Metal Armour on T-REX? Imdidn't see it, I will watch it again but I don't think any of that side of the game has been ruined.

Can't someone just create a decent dinosaur game that isn't set in the future? None of this metal armour on the T-Rex, or jet-packs, or lasers, or outer space.. just a jungle, a team of special forces and a whole load of intelligent reptiles. I want that Jurassic Park feeling captured.

Dino Crisis 3 might be good though.
