A trailer shown at Capcom Showcase 2022 reveals new gameplay for the co-op action game Exoprimal, along with some cool details.
Without this year’s E3, the gaming companies stepped in to ensure that the community gets the most out of the usual early summer news, revelations, and updates. Capcom recently held a 2022 showcase, sharing some trailers and gameplay footage for its latest titles, including a closer look at the Resident Evil 4 remake. Among many other revelations, Capcom has provided some more news about their upcoming team-shooter game – Exoprimal features a unique combination of tech suit and dinosaurs looking to destroy each other. together.
While the combination in a robotic armor and blowing up giant dinosaurs may be enough to sell Exoprimal to many gamers, it seems Capcom has also given players a reason for their dinosaur destruction. surname. The new Exoprimal trailer introduces viewers to the artificial intelligence Leviathan, which acts as a narrator throughout the trailer. It turns out that the reason the player or players decided to fight against the hordes of prehistoric carnivores was because they were “suitable specimens” for an experiment Leviathan was carrying out.
The player is transported to the island of Bikitoa, where the mysterious Aibus legion conducts research in Exoprimal. These experiments also explain how Exoprimal defends the two Exosuited teams fighting the dinosaurs and each other. Through various missions such as “Dinosaur Cull” and “VTOL Defense”, players will enter a race to complete their mission before the other team does, giving Exoprimal a competitive edge. With each class in Exoprimal having their own Exosuit, it seems likely that the game will be based on team composition as well as skill, similar to games like Team Fortress 2 or Overwatch.
While there are some high-paced gameplay visuals at the beginning of the trailer, later on, Leviathan informs the player of an analysis of human history. From the way the AI talks about humans and their flaws, it seems likely that Leviathan will be the main antagonist in Exoprimal’s story, which is further evidenced by a line later in the trailer, where it falls in love. asking people to “fight and die” for themselves. It seems Leviathan, like many other fictional AIs, TV shows and games, has gone rogue. It seems that these story rhythms have been borrowed somewhat from Dino Crisis, as Exoprimal also has periodic dinosaur outbursts, except that these outbreaks are summoned by the AI Leviathan and not by a monster. evil scientist created. However, for those wishing for another Dino Crisis instead of Exoprimal, the latter’s similarities to the former might make it all the more controversial.
There are a few other similarities between Dino Crisis and Exoprimal, but the newer game also seems to have inspired many other titles. Fans in the comments section of the new trailer have said that Exoprimal shows a clear influence from Anthem and a bunch of other games.
