Primal Carnage: Genesis is an episodic, first-person game powered by Unreal Engine 4 - and it's headed to PS4.

The dinosaur-themed title will feature "a mix of linear gameplay and open-world exploration from a first-person human perspective". According to Sony's announcement, "next-generation rendering is key to selling the lush island environment".

Developed by Lukewarm Media, it follows the PC-only release of Primal Carnage in 2012. The 2012 title was an asymmetrical multiplayer shooter, while Genesis is described as an immersive, story-driven experience, and will be released episodically in a similar fashion to The Walking Dead.

No release window has been confirmed and the game is in its early stages of development.

On the topic of episodic storytelling, Lukewarm Media game director Aston Andersen said the decision to go with episodic content was difficult, but fits the nature of the title. "The episodic method ended up being the clear victor due to the versatile nature of creating a story episode by episode.

"It allows us a lot of wiggle room, because one unique advantage of the episodic model is the ability for player feedback from the first episode to affect the development of the following episodes. Do players want to see more of a certain mechanic? Maybe people didn't like playing a certain segment of the game, thus steering our focus elsewhere."

I won't be getting Lego City for a few more weeks. I've been reading the GAF thread a lot. Seems overall very positive, check it out.

Its really a shame that this game is getting incorrectly labeled as "just another Lego game" in some corners of the gaming press. I have never had this much fun in an open world game. I am completely blown away, guys.

This game is about to pass red dead as my favorite open world game of all time, no joke.  Just finished apollo island and this game keeps delivering, the shit the guy was saying over the intercom was hilarious. If you own a wii u go buy this, its wiiu's best game.

This game just gets better as it goes and is overall a better game than I'd have suspected. I think as word of mouth spreads it will have some legs to it and have an impact on wiiu sales. After Mario this is the must have wiiu title.

So I beat the story mode just now and let me tell you guys that you have no idea what is waiting for you. This goes from 80's cop movie to (massive end game spoilers removed) Holy crap this was goddamn amazing, my jaw was to the floor for the entire final sections. Nintendo, lock these guys down. You would be fools not too. This game needs a sequel so bad. I never saw this coming, I never dreamed it would get so epic.

This game is awesome. So many corny jokes, all delivered by such good voice actors. Each mission has been a delight. The city design is just outstanding too; maybe the best in any GTA clone. I've spent hours goofing around and I've been finding optional paths, jumps, bricks, easter eggs, and mini-missions every few minutes. I especially love the free run missions, which are like little slices of platforming joy. My only complaints are the long loading times and the overly sensitive steering, but these are minor quibbles in the face of such a charming and well made game.

The more I play this game, the higher up the list of "favorite open world games" this game rises. This game is really incredible. Just unlocked time trials, so fun. I can't believe I am saying this, but this game has a real chance of unseating San Andreas for me.

Most bliss I've felt in a game this year, a year that includes heavy contenders like Dishonored and Xenogears. Amazingly balanced and packed game. The exploration in this game should be the new bar for open world games.

Finally got to play this game this weekend. My son and I are having an absolute blast with it. It is by far the most entertaining Lego game I've ever played, and it is huge in scope and in content. It looks fantastic, image quality is very high and any aliasing issues are extremely minor -- essentially unnoticeable for me. Highly, highly recommended.

It's great to finally have some awesome new content for the Wii U, which proves its worth to me with every new exclusive game like this one.

After playing this all weekend I can pretty much say that this is the most densely packed and fun GTA-style open world in a game yet. It seems like every time I get out of a car to start a mission, I get distracted by seeing some blue climb-able studs in the distance and end up spending the next half hour or more climbing, exploring, and jumping from building to building. This is a huge contrast to typical GTA-style exploration system where you basically just go into alleyways and maybe climb a ladder to a rooftop every now and then for a hidden package equivalent. The missions are also infinitely better. Everything involves fun puzzles, exploration, and platforming. By contrast again, 90% of GTA-style game missions are either "go here, kill this guy, and escape," "deliver this from point A to point B," or "follow this car."

I seriously can't say enough about this game. Without a doubt the best game I've played since at least Sleeping Dogs, and its probably better. The only negative is the load times, but the big ones only hit every once in a while. I just have GAF open on my phone and read a few posts when this happens.

This game is worth buying a Wii U for, and I highly doubt that the PS4/720 will have a game to match it in their launch windows. For me, this is the game of the new generation until something comes along and unseats it. GTA V will sell ten times more, but I highly doubt it will be half as much fun.

Not impressive dinosaur. Shouldn't ps4 do Jurassic park by now.

Got my BioShock! ...too bad I'm nowhere near home at the moment...  

That is the single worst list I ever have seen. Having wii at number 1 shows that they polled people that don't know what they are talking about. The best year is 1998, I don't think it's that close.

I'm a few hours into Resident Evil 6. Kind of a weird beginning, then I started on Jake's story.

So far its exactly what I thought. Its not as bad as people made it out to be AS A GAME ON ITS OWN, but as a RE title its hugely disappointing. Not only does it not feel like a horror game at all, but everything about the game just feels a LITTLE bit off...the controls, the field of view, the AI, the inventory...it all just feels like it should have been better and all these little things add up.

The game has had its moments of coolness, but on the whole it just does not have that typical Resident Evil magic at all. From what I've read I expect this feeling to continue through the entire game. Again, I'm early in, but so far it feels like a 7/10 game with great production values on top.

It is a really strange game. Eventually all those quirks kind of tell off and I really learned to love the combat system. Also play with all multiplayer stuff on, have people invade your game and try for the cross coop moments
