Dinosaurs? Guns? Capcom? There's only one thing it can be: Exoprimal, a brand new co-op shooter about fighting off hordes of dinos.
This brand new IP is a multiplayer co-op shoot-'em-up, allowing for teams of five to suit up in various mechs to fight dinosaurs of all shapes and sizes. It looks absolutely mad — the beasts are falling from the sky in droves through vortexes, for goodness sake. Video games are so stupid and brilliant.
Anyway, each mech will of course have a distinct role to play within a team, offering its own strengths in the fight against the toothy menace. You'll be able to swap mechs at any time to adapt to the situation, which seems ideal given a t-rex can appear from a hole in space-time with no notice. There's more info on the PlayStation Blog, if you fancy.
It looks like it could offer some ridiculous fun when it arrives on PlayStation 5 and PS4 in 2023, which is next year but it sounds like a future year, you know? Are you keen for Exoprimal? Bring your umbrella in the comments section below.

Sigh... at least there's Instinction on the way.
This may offer co-op fun but it's no Dino Crisis.
I think we can all agree that the moment we saw the girl with red hair, we all thought Dino Crisis. I sure hope Capcom will still announce a Dino Crisis game.
Definitely not a Resi 4 remake anyway. Oh well.
I love the concept of randomly replacing zombie hoards with dinosaurs, but it would have been much more exciting to see a dino crisis game.
Dang it, I thought this was about Dino Crisis!
I’m sure we all wanted Capcom to bring a new Dino Crisis, Darkstalkers or Dragon Dogma but this game doesn’t look too bad. Could be fun.
So… Anthem with dinosaurs?
So it's Earth Defense Force, with a decent budget, while taking the Javelins from Anthem but omitting the best part about them...the flying and Iron Man simulation.
The industry is feeling so homogenized and seemingly running out of unique or good ideas.
Maybe I've just become jaded, but I'm starting to lose more and more interest in this hobby as the industry heads in a direction I don't like.
🤷♂️
Maybe I should focus on my music again, at least then my wife will stop complaining I'm wasting a talent. 😄
Throughout the trailer (espcially from the use of the REngine) i swore it was going to reveal as a weird Dino Crisis reboot...alas, it wasnt and am happy it wasnt, this looks fun but if their going to bring back the IP it has to be a creepy and tense formula = RE with dinos.
This was a rollercoaster of a reveal. First thought was Pragmata, then the dinos came in - must be Dino Crisis! Then I saw the exo suits and thought otherwise causeit looks too out there for that, then I remember Dino Crisis 3, and then there was the red head making me feel more convincedthat this might actually be Dino Crisis, and then finally we get the title reveal.
@Ashina maybe with everyone thinking literally the exact same thing, maybe it will kick them into gear!
@RatmCky Kinda hopeful that Capcom will pull a Project REsistance kind of announcement where they will first announce a multiplayer game then later on, they will announce a tie-in single player game, in this case, Dino Crisis.
Anyways, I do think that people are talking about Dino Crisis by now and let's just hope Capcom will listen.
This clearly started as a Dino crisis and was degenerated into yet another team shooter.
The red haired woman recalling Regina as well. Sigh...
Was it so hard to just make a new Dino crisis? Who is gonna buy this?
Minus one million points for putting Dino Crisis in the header....
This is nothing like Dino Crisis nothing the only thing Dino Crisis is the Regina lookalike.
I like DC2 and have many replays, once last year. I downloaded DC1 but can not play it because on the controls, no analog sticks for movement. I will pass on whatever this trailer is for.
@ Nem, i agree. I rolled my eyes and did a face palm when the large orb in the sky rained dinosaurs.
Hard pass on a co-op multiplayer shooter...unless it has a decent solo mode.
Looks very low budget. I can guarantee, this will be a flop. Screams live service. (Anthem style)
I never knew what Anthem needed was dinosaurs, but I am actually HERE for this *****. More games need dinosaurs.
Blows my mind, Capcom finally gets back into the dinosaur business and they chose to make this instead of a Dino Crisis Reboot. Does look like it could be some dumb fun with friends, lets face it, everyone loves dinosaurs.
Huh, so Exoprimal is practically Earth Defense Force but with dinosaurs and a slighty higher budget.
Tbh, while I would like to see a new DC like most users here, I will give this game a chance as I try to refrain from judging new IPs before I have a try. I don't expect this one to become a favorite at all but hopefully it will atleast give me a few hours of some good time to kill (no pun intended).
No Dino Crisis? Sigh, thanks for getting my hopes up...
@lolwhatno
It's Evie, she's one of the playable siblings from Assassin's Creed Syndicate.
I kind of miss the cinematic Batman style combat of the older AC games.
@lolwhatno
Oh, the series definitely needed a shakeup. I'm glad it got one.
I didn't play Unity at launch, I played it about a year after when I finally bought a PS4. By then I had very few issues and I really enjoyed it.
One thing I loved in Unity and I really want to see return is the co-op mode. PvP was unique, but I had lost interest in most PvP games by that point, but co-op was a blast.
Sadly Ubisofts decision to focus on single player only and stop working on PvP led to a stop to co-op as well. It's a shame.
@Kang81 id think earth defense force is probly better. some of those suits look a bit too much like overwatch character mechanics. not different enough for me.
