ZOMG: From the makers of Velociraptor Safari comes Jetpack Brontosaurus photo

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.

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!

Sounds pretty silly to me, to be honest. They just threw two unrelated concepts together and trusted in our love of the absurd to sell it.

Well, these guys proved it. Dinosaurs can make anything sound awesome.

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.

Except that Velociraptor Safari was some of the genuine best fun I've had in ages, Birdseye. Simple, functional, and dinosaur-smackingly elegant. So, it's more than concept smashing. It's fucking fun.

Wow, just wow, I love the world so much. Please dear God can we get more of these games immediately. Perhaps a Dinosaur FPS that has no humans and is just dinosaurs and guns?

How about "Disco Manatee does the Wild West"? Throwing unrelated shit together is easy ;)

@ 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.

@Sharpless:

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.

Of course it's retarded. Non sequitir is one of the oldest types of humor.

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.

Hey guys!

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...

I agree that their other games are good too. Splume was really clever, and different enough that I don't consider it a Bust-a-Move knockoff.
