BRING BACK THE HUNTER: PRIMAL

[Hatshepherd]

I come to you today with a heavy heart. As you all know, the game has been removed from the Steam store for quite some time now. Despite the many requests made by the community, the developers have not responded to our pleas to bring it back.

It's frustrating to see such a great game taken away from us without any explanation or justification. Many of us have spent countless hours exploring the beautiful world of Hunter Primal, and we feel like we've been left hanging by the developers.

We understand that they may have their reasons for removing the game, but we would appreciate it if they could at least communicate with us and let us know what's going on. We deserve an explanation after all the time and money we've invested in this game.

So I implore the developers to please hear us out and consider bringing Hunter Primal back to the Steam store. We miss this game dearly, and we would love to be able to play it again.

Thank you for taking the time to read this. Let's keep showing our support for Hunter Primal and hope that the developers will listen to our voices.

They already have a dinosaur game (Second Extinction), so I doubt they will do this However, Prehistoric Hunt seems to be trying very hard to recreate theHunter Primal and is a fun game.

I agree I miss hunter primal, there was something chilling hearing a Trex sniffing around for you... Second extinction is just arcade tedium

I have the game from Steam Even though you could not use the save feature In game It sure was fun hunting with other players other players learned to hack the game and and loaned a muti player they would stock you up with weapons made some good friends while playing ,It was just amazing and scary as hell.

OK, I just played theHunter Primal for the first time. I was disappointed, I thought it would be like COTW, but with dinos. It was not. Game mechanics are different, and the graphics are low res and basic, there were not even video settings to change!
I like the idea of a dinosaur map for COTW, but this game us certainly not that.

dinosaurs would be cool. I'd rather have a map where we hunt cryptids who in turn can hunt us. silver bullets and all that.

Primal uses the same engine as Classic, and plays about the same.

I too would love to play Hunter Primal and would love to see it released again. But it is true that it was "unpopular" and would not be accepted by many users if it was released as is.
I would like you to re-release it after making the graphics and gameplay more beautiful and easier to play. I can imagine how difficult that would be, but it is a game with a good idea, so I hope you will do something to revive it.

Multi player Is where this game shined many videos on you tube.......The game Is broken you can't make saves even when you think you could all time spent playing would be lost.......

There is very little wrong with the basic game as it is. I have it and it is running great, with save function working fine after tweaking the files as per the instructions in the posts here on the forum. The system I used was to download the game files posted by another player and swap them out with mine.
All that remains is the scope and bino problem, which only occurs if you have more than one landing pod or Queen egg in your inventory. If you take them out and then pick them up again it usually solves the issue.
Other than that picking up too many items from the skull cache in one go can occasionally cause a crash resulting in a loss of all inventory.
But thats fun, starting again with absolutely no gear. LOL.
But an easy way to fix that is to jump of a cliff or let a dino kill you and go back and buy what you need from the store.
A 308, shotgun and machette, and you get more action without the camo.

I had a look at Dino hunt, for an hour, only saw one dino attack in that time, Boring as hell. I have killed up to 30 Raptors at the valley crossing in that time playing primal.

the hunter primal is on the same engine as the hunter classic when you get the hunter primal you should know this as it came out years before COTW

[misfitsailor]

Being on the same engine does not mean having the same art, features, or gameplay. A lot of games share engines and have nothing in common about the way they look.

@ misfitsailor

In the case of Classic and primal there are several direct comparisons. The 308 semi is the same rifle as the 7mm bullpup. It even still has the same name , (7mm) on the barrel. The bow is the snakebite. The pistols are the same. The graphic settings are the same and the controls are also all the same.
The fact that you say the graphics are not as good surprises me. My Graphics are the same quality and frame speeds are within the same parameters as what I get with the other classic maps. I use the same settings on both games.
Perhaps you need to play a few more times to find the groove. I personally find more prey per hour than is possible on classic but that is because I have played since its release and know where the animals are most likely to be.
Once you learn the safe places that are all over the map, ( Rocks and logs and steep faces the dinos cant climb ) and how to use them it is possible to play several sessions and kill multiple dinosours without suffering the indignity of dying.
Even the Trex can be killed with two shots from the 308 if your aim is good.
Spend some more time and the game will open up for you.

[misfitsailor]

I will do as you suggest.

Yea it is a shame they abandoned this. I felt scammed tbh and I won´t forgive them this move.

[DatFrog]

Could yall imagine the hype if they announced a sequel?? I know several youtubers that would most definetly play it aswell. Like Fooster, thegamingbeaver and more. They both have thousinds watching their videos, so thousinds would also be informed that this game exists! And not only that but theres a whole community of again THOUSANDS just WAITING for a really good quality dinosaur hunting game!
Personally I don't think Expansive Worlds and Avalanche Studios get how big of a profit they would get from reviving Thehunter: Primal.

But that's just what I think.. :)
