To quote: At some point, everyone has wondered about what it was like to walk among the dinosaurs. We were wondering that for ourselves, so we've set out to develop Primal Carnage: Genesis.

What better way is there to realize that dream than a new generation of PlayStation hardware to drive an incredible immersive experience?

From towering behemoths like the brachiosaurus and the tyrannosaurus rex to smaller creatures like the velociraptor and the dilophosaurus, there is no doubt that there is something magical about the creatures of the prehistoric world. In order to capture that magic in real time, we used Unreal Engine 4 as our software platform of choice.

In the early stages of development, it became clear that we wanted Primal Carnage: Genesis to champion an immersive story driven experience....

This week at FarSight Studios, we've been packin' up our new expo display and gettin' ready to head to the Texas Pinball Festival to show off our latest tables and features!

March has always been one of my favorite months. The fact that we now get to spend a couple weekends each March at pinball shows has made it even better.
