There isn't really a damn thing to say here except that the folks at Flashbang Studios are f*cking geniuses. The only thing we know about Jetpack Brontosaurus is that you're a Brontosaurus that flies around with a Jetpack. The premise and the concept art has me sold already.
Seriously, these guys need to start making games for XBLA, WiiWare and PSN. Off-Road Velocirapter Safari is still fun and some of their other games are great too. We shall of course let you all know when this game is out.
Hopefully, the next game they make is something based on GuitarAtomik's Cyborg T-Rex clothesline. That would be the bee's knees.

He was one of the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles before budget cuts. Hamza works as a previews editor and manages a team in San Francisco. To date he has given away tens of thousands of dollars in prizes to readers. What a dick. Actually, Hamza is as kind as he is hairy.

I’m in the same boat, especially because I was fascinated with dinosaurs as a kid (hell, who wasn’t?) Of course, I still am...and Turok notwithstanding, dinosaur games rock!
i feel like this won't be nearly as fun as raptor safari.
I wonder what they have in-store for after this release. It will probably have to do with a T-Rex. And possibly a pterodactyl. With police cars. A nice buddy-cop-dinosaur game.
that's so bizarre that it's awesome.
Coming soon: Submarine Apatosaurus
@ Princeofcannedpeaches - yeah cool man, I am not saying it isn't a fun game, but the concept is fundamentally retarded. Its something a 10 year old with ADHD would think up.
I like stupid shit as much as the next person, but I can't help but think they are playing on what is "cool" these days to get your clicks for advertising revenue, kind of like those stupid Crazy Frog ringtones you see on TV.
And your point would be...?
Agreed. Sure, Mario Galaxy, Turok, and COD4 might be fun and all, but sometimes you wanna play something different, something so out there it's crazy... I say we need more daring developers like these guys.
I'd like to think otherwise: I'd like to believe that somewhere in the world, somebody with a good heart knows we want games about dinosaurs driving cars, flying, and making hotel beds in a relay-race style marathon for points and glory (PLEASE?). If the gaming industry ever comes to churlish reiteration, I don't know what - oh, wait.
Thanks for the interest in the game. Believe me, we do realize how silly/awesome it is. And we didn't really intend to immediately do another dinosaur game, but a certain whiteboard sketch of a jetpack brontosaurus just sat there, day after day, taunting us. Eventually we decided it was too obvious to pass up.
We're aiming for similar schedule as Raptor Safari (which was 8 weeks). Look for more info to show trickle on to the official site: jetpackbrontosaurus.com
On beta--we'll likely just emailing active Safari players when it comes time to run some people through the game...
