Activision wants us to hunt dinosaurs (such an evil company) photo

We here at Destructoid love sparking rudderless speculation about recent trademarks, which is why we're thrilled to hear that evil publisher Activision has trademarked the name Jurassic Hunter. Activision is known for making good on its trademark promises, so one could safely assume that the company is looking into a dinosaur hunting game at some point in the future.

The interesting thing to note here is that Jurassic Hunter is the name of a game previously slated for the PlayStation 2. That particular title was never released, so whether Activision plans to publish a game based on the canceled original, or is just using the name for an original concept, remains to be seen. 

Jurassic Hunter has been discovered in GameFly's database, lending further credence to the idea that Activision could be making an announcement soon. The game has been listed as a multiplatform title, due to hit the Wii, PS3 and Xbox 360.

Umm there has already been dinosaur hunting games... They were released on the pc oh so many years ago when hunting simulations were all the craze. Anyone remember Carnivores?

I like dinosaurs





...on rye bread with some mayonaise


I hope the game goes all out, allowing you to sport hunt dinos with exaggerated verions of real equipment and even get the pic of you standing over your kill holding your rile.

Bring on the FPS!!!

If this game is being developed it will be out of Activisions Vlaue group not Teyarch or Infinity Ward. I assume it will be an extension of the Cabella's Big Game Hunter series...

@chronoswing - not exactly, but I do remember a rather famous dinosaur hunting game from not too long ago:

If they make it like Turok, I'd be satisfied. As long as it isn't like the latest Turok, that bored me out of my mind.

@pappadukes

Nah, Carnivores was more like Deer Hunter with Dinosaurs. Turok is hardly a dinosaur hunting game.

@chronoswing - But the subtitle is "DINOSAUR HUNTER"! I do see what you are saying, though.

This sounds exciting... Maybe it will make up for how disappointing Turok was on this gen. I loved N64 turok.... but that's it. That's where I draw the line.

DINOSAURS, FUCK YEAH!!! Really depends who would be developing it though. If it is Infinity Ward or Raven Software, then hell yes. If it's Treyarch or Neversoft, meh.

Activision, grow a braincell. Hunting dinosaur is dumb and boring. Have you learned nothing from Turok and to a latter extent Dino Crisis. Dinos might look cool in CG, but generally they make piss poor enemies.

@Cowboy TTop, have you ever played Turok 2? Cerebral Bore is the best weapon ever!
