Primal Prey II: Extinction

'NOTE: This is a revamped version of my Primal Prey II (Primal Prey: Extinction)'' idea from my earlier days on this wiki. This is because I wanted to remake the idea with a fresh start and not make it so sloppy this time around.'''

Primal Prey: Extinction is a first-person horror/survival dinosaur hunting game created by Red Tooth Studios and published by Sunstorm Games, being released on March 14, 2021 for PC on Steam, and August 22, 2021 for consoles (Xbox One/Series X and PS5). It is a remake of Arush Games and Sunstorm Interactive's (now Sunstorm Games) 2001 dinosaur hunting game Primal Prey.

Synopsis
The year is 2110. Humanity has greatly increased technologically, to not only where time travel is possible, but can be altered with no paradoxical repercussions to the present. However, only select individuals are granted the privilege to travel through time, and only select companies are granted the even bigger privilege of creating time travel. One select company, known as PaleoLabs Inc., provides individuals - primarily big game hunters - the hunting opportunity of a lifetime: to travel back in time and hunt the largest and most fearsome animals to ever walk the Earth: dinosaurs. However, before they are granted access to their time portal, each hunter must endure harsh training of their mental and physical states in order to prepare for the challenges that await them. Upon arriving on the primal landscape, they must become the predator to avoid becoming the prey.

Because only the cold-blooded survive.

The Hunter
The player character, known as the hunter, is a person of unknown background who was selected amongst the few individuals granted the privilege of becoming a part of PaleoLabs Inc.'s dinosaur hunting program, having gone through the training and deemed worthy to travel back in time in order to go on dinosaur hunting expeditions.

The player can create and customize their hunter, and can proceed to edit them afterwards.

The starter hunter begins with basic armor, a tranq pistol, a semi-automatic handgun, and a combat knife, but can unlock and purchase new armor, equipment, and firearms as they progress throughout the game. (See Equipment and Weapons)

Weapons
There are a wide variation of firearms, new and old alike, that have been added to Primal Prey: Extinction. They are divided into three groups: Melee, Archery, and Firearms, with two types of weapons: Lethal and Tranquilizing. Each weapon is listed below.

Melee

 * Combat Knife
 * Price: Starter
 * Type: Lethal
 * Description: A medium-sized tactical combat knife with an extra sharp blade that can easily cut through softer dinosaur hide.
 * Machete
 * Price: $300
 * Type: Lethal
 * Description: A perfect weapon for self-defense against small and medium-sized carnivores. A longer, larger, and sharper blade can prevent potentially fatal bites from landing.
 * Tactical Axe
 * Price: $500
 * Type: Lethal
 * Description: A lightweight, yet power combat axe capable of splitting flesh and damaging bone. A perfect tertiary weapon to have to deter pesky predators.
 * Electric Dino Prod
 * Price: $1,300
 * Type: Tranquilizing
 * Description: A high-voltage electric prod manufactured by PaleoLabs Inc. that has the capability to stun smaller dinosaurs and disorient medium-sized ones.
 * Stun Rod
 * Price: $2,200
 * Type: Tranquilizing
 * Description: Larger and having higher-voltage than the dino prod, this stun rod can prevent attacks from even the largest carnivores and is perfectly capable of immobilizing medium-sized dinosaurs.

Archery

 * Recurve Bow
 * Price: $400
 * Type: Lethal
 * Ammunition: Recurve Arrows
 * Description: A simple lightweight recurve bow that is excellent for bringing down smaller dinosaurs, but lacks the penetration to take down medium and larger dinosaurs.
 * Compound Bow
 * Price: $3,600
 * Type: Hybrid
 * Ammunition: Compound Arrows, Sedative Compound Arrows
 * Description: A heavy compound bow that can be equipped with sights for more precise shots, and a heavy enough drawback to do lethal penetration to medium-sized dinosaurs. As a hybrid weapon, it can be equipped with both deadly and tranquilizing broadheads, making it a perfect secondary weapon.
 * Tactical Crossbow
 * Price: $6,200
 * Type: Hybrid
 * Ammunition: Crossbow Bolts, Sedative Crossbow Bolts
 * Description: A reinforced tactical crossbow that can be equipped with a scope for long range shots and a heavy drawback capable of doing damage to even the largest of dinosaurs.

Firearms

 * Tranq Pistol
 * Price: Starter
 * Type: Tranquilizing
 * Ammunition: Tranq pistol darts
 * Description: A clip-fed tranquilizer pistol manufactured by PaleoLabs Inc. that fires a strong, yet slow-acting sedative. Several shots will be needed to bring down most dinosaurs.
 * Semi-Automatic Handgun
 * Price: Starter
 * Type: Lethal
 * Ammunition: 10mm handgun bullets
 * Description: A quick-firing 10mm pistol that would be more reliable as a sidearm than a primary hunting weapon.
 * Shotgun
 * Price: $1,200
 * Type: Lethal
 * Ammunition: 12GA buckshot shells
 * Description: A quadruple-barreled 12-gauge shotgun with a widespread and large automatic chamber, providing a little more protection from the more dangerous dinosaurs. It is best used at close range.
 * Hunting Rifle
 * Price: $1,850
 * Type: Lethal
 * Ammunition: .270 bullets
 * Description: This .270 hunting rifle is perfect for small and medium-sized dinosaurs, but will not prove very effective against larger dinosaurs. A scope can be attached for better precision and further shots.
 * Assault Rifle:
 * Price: $2,500
 * Type: Lethal
 * Ammunition: 5.56 bullets
 * Description: This 5.56 assault rifle is perfect for mowing down smaller and medium-sized dinosaurs, though it isn't recommended as a primary firearm when hunting bigger game.
 * Sonic Blaster
 * Price: $3,800
 * Type: Tranquilizing
 * Ammunition: Infrasonic soundwaves
 * Description: A specially-built original weapon fabricated by PaleoLabs Inc. used to emit infrasonic soundwaves to stun dinosaurs. A few bursts will stun, continued use will kill.
 * Electron Gun
 * Price: $4,600
 * Type: Tranquilizing
 * Ammunition: Battery-charged
 * Description: Another of PaleoLabs Inc.'s specialty weapons, the electron gun is basically a weaponized Tesla coil. Firing charged high-voltage electrons, this weapon is excellent for stunning dinosaurs. It is not recommended to use in water, as the charge will revert back to the user.
 * Tranq Rifle
 * Price: $5,200
 * Type: Tranquilizing
 * Ammunition: Tranq rifle darts
 * Description: A heavy tranquilizer rifle loaded with potent sedative serum, providing the ability to immobilize dinos from long range. Equip with a scope and you've got great long-range capability.
 * Flamethrower
 * Price: $5,800
 * Type: Lethal
 * Ammunition: Flammable gas
 * Description: A modified flamethrower that sprays a large gout a flame capable of burning up smaller dinosaurs and deterring larger predators. It is not recommended for regular hunting use, as it can severely damage the trophy quality.
 * Freeze Ray
 * Price: $7,600
 * Type: Lethal
 * Ammunition: Liquid nitrogen agent
 * Description: This specialty weapon emits a misty freezing agent composed of liquid nitrogen that freezes the dermal layer of a dinosaur's skin and cooling down the blood, causing them to move slower. Its primary purpose is to slow dinosaurs to the point they're easier to kill or sedate, but continued use can cause the dinosaur to die of hypothermia.
 * Shrink Ray
 * Price: $10,500
 * Type: Unknown
 * Ammunition: Classified
 * Description: One of PaleoLabs Inc.'s most classified weapons, the shrink ray fires radiation that shrinks whatever it comes in contact with by slowly dissipating tissue mass, yet not harming the target. The shrink ray can shrink the largest dinosaurs down to a more manageable size, allowing them to be killed or knocked out easier, but limited use is recommended, as too much use can shrink the target to microscopic levels.
 * Sniper Rifle
 * Price: $12,000
 * Type: Lethal
 * Ammunition: .470 bullets
 * Description: Due to modern technology, this slender-built rifle is capable of firing full metal jacketed .470 rounds at far distance and extreme speeds, providing long-range killing power, allowing for long-range capability to take down dangerous carnivores from a safe distance. Exceedingly effective with a scope attached.
 * X-Rifle
 * Price: $16,000
 * Type: Lethal
 * Ammunition: Gamma-produced plasma
 * Description: Primarily used by the Space Force, the X-Rifle fires a concentrated form of gamma radiation that converts into an explosive plasma projectile upon contact with a target. This is an excellent weapon for self-defense, though it is not recommended for primary hunting use, as it can ruin the value of the trophy.
 * Stasis Gun
 * Price: $20,000
 * Type: Tranquilizing
 * Ammunition: Classified
 * Description: A prototype of one of DinoLabs' most recent inventions, the stasis gun is highly classified. This weapon fires a small projectile of energy that bursts into a much larger sphere upon contact with a dinosaur, which adds tension to the nerves and muscles, making it harder for the dinosaur to move, then locking it into a temporary state of stasis, essentially making it become a living statue. This weapon is perfect for those missions to trap a large and dangerous trophy.
 * 2mm Railgun
 * Price: $30,000
 * Type: Lethal
 * Ammunition: Plasma-like electromagnetic projectiles
 * Description: An ultimate in killing, this weapon is PaleoLabs Inc.'s magnum opus in weaponry. This railgun fires a small, plasma-like projectile at extreme speeds, making it a devastatingly-powerful weapon against large dinosaurs. Attach with a scope, and you're basically untouchable. Not recommended for smaller game.

Species
There are a variety of species in Primal Prey: Extinction, including the original 9 from the first Primal Prey.

There are 6 levels of aggression: Ambient, Unkillable, Passive, Neutral, Aggressive, and Extremely Aggressive. Ambient animals are small animals that can be killed, but are not huntable. Unkillable animals are passive, but are too large to be killed. Passive dinosaurs will not attack the hunter, and will flee if approached or shot at. Neutral dinosaurs will not mind the hunter's presence, but will retaliate if approached or shot at. Aggressive dinosaurs will attempt to eliminate the hunter if they spot or catch scent of them. The highly classified extremely aggressive specimen has a ravenous thirst for human blood, and will stop at nothing to taste human flesh.

Each species also has a trophy requirement for both genders. Trophy dinosaurs are indicated by the length, weight, and height of the individual. Harvesting a trophy dinosaur during a trophy hunt (see Gamemodes) fills in half a star for that dinosaur. The other half is filled when a trophy of the opposite sex is harvested.

Trivia

 * The lead artist of Primal Prey and Carnivores: Cityscape, Todd Marshall, returns once more to be the lead artist of Primal Prey: Extinction.
 * The original nine huntable species from Primal Prey - Gastonia, Utahraptor, Pectinodon (renamed from Troodon to stay up-to-date with modern paleontology), Iguanodon, Quetzalcoatlus, Triceratops, Lambeosaurus, and Tyrannosaurus - maintain their original Primal Prey colors, with their model designs updated to be paleontologically accurate.
 * Additionally, the species from Carnivores: Cityscape that also appear in Primal Prey: Extinction - Oviraptor, Tapejara, Nanotyrannus, Suchomimus, and Giganotosaurus - maintain their Cityscape-esque designs with up-to-date models.
