Cernex Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 So, this might be old news, but I did a quick search and found nothing. If indeed this is old news, feel free to delete the thread. Anyway... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jMynNFZbDJg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YLjCSMNe3K8 You guys knew about this? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinroh Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 Pretty old news, but I'm always up for some Rage 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 The discovery of the PR2 board is old news, but I didn't know they made a custom cab at Galloping Ghost. That's really cool. I'd like to eventually make my way there someday so I can play the game. The original Primal Rage for me is up there with MK, KI, etc. I played it a lot back when it was new and still revisit it relatively frequently.

Inky Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 I played it several months ago. The Primal Rage games are the only fighters I like.Doc was telling me that it was cancelled at the same time Beavis and Butt-Head was, for the same reason: midway bought out Atari, and cancelled all of Atari's projects.

Are you kidding me? THAT'S why they canceled it? I... what? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 Are you kidding me? THAT'S why they canceled it? I... what? To be fair, Williams (owners of Midway at the time) were making a lot of unsuspecting decisions during that time period (like closing down the entire pinball division in 1999). Their decisions were very well likely the result of a dwindling arcade market. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cernex Posted June 22, 2016 Author Share Posted June 22, 2016 Well, RIGHT, sure. That makes sense. But why buy a company if you're going to absolutely get rid of EVERYTHING they're making? That makes no sense to me. I mean, maybe the projects that were in early pre-production, sure. But Primal Rage 2 was already on its test run. That's... just stupid. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 They made the right decision. I've played both Primal Rage 2 and Beavis and Butthead and they both were fairly bad games (although B&B has its charm). Even though they were unfinished games, I doubt they would have gotten drastically better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though they were unfinished games, I doubt they would have gotten drastically better. Both games are probably something I would have played had they made it to arcades in any sort of fashion...

Tempest Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 I would have played B&B for sure, but the animation and movement are so choppy it makes a bit annoying. It's hard to judge PR2 because it wasn't tweaked and balanced yet. Fighting games need that polish or they're terrible to play. When I played it I killed my opponent by using the exact same attack over and over and over again. That's the sign of a badly balanced game. Beyond that though, the only thing that the original PR had going for it was dinosaurs and they took those out of the sequel! Why would you do that?

Crimefighter Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 You morph into the dinos... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 You morph into the dinos... Yeah but the default are the human characters. The whole human to dino thing was really stupid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cernex Posted July 7, 2016 Author Share Posted July 7, 2016 Yeah but the default are the human characters. The whole human to dino thing was really stupid. Well, all you have to do is push up for 2 seconds or so to go with default dinos. And you fought the humans first, sure, but later you fall nothing but dinos. Is it a weird direction? Yes. But nothing that would make me outright hate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bakasama Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Sure we all know that Primal Rage 2 exists but whatever happened to that update to Primal Rage 1 that was suppose to add a boss character? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cernex Posted July 12, 2016 Author Share Posted July 12, 2016 That one got canceled after development for 2 began. That's the reason Necrosan appears in 2. He was the planned boss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supergun Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 (edited) Hmm. What about Primal Rage "revisions". Surely they had a few. Maybe the final revision implemented the boss as a playable / selectable character? Can't hurt to check them all.

Maybe the final revision implemented the boss as a playable / selectable character? Can't hurt to check them all. The last revision was 2.3. The follow-up (3.0?) was canceled after Primal Rage 2 was greenlighted. There's a reason why Necrossan only appears in 2. Necrossan was set to appear in 1, but never did.

WAVE 1 GAMES Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 (edited) not sure if you guys are interested or aware but Primal Rage 2 has been playable for some time now at home on your PC through MAME. More info on this can be found here. Only 3 characters available to play with through hacked save states. If you guys already knew, I'm sorry for bumping an old topic I just thought it's a fun game to play. (it reminds me of KI2) Plus it's Atari!

Yeah I heard about that. I'm curious as to why they did that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KidGameR186496 Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 Yeah I heard about that. I'm curious as to why they did that. Maybe to save cost on producing dedicated boards? I don't know but to be honest that game should have been programmed on the COJAG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you guys already knew, I'm sorry for bumping an old topic I just thought it's a fun game to play. (it reminds me of KI2) Plus it's Atari! As of a week (give or take a day), Primal Rage 2 is almost fully playable in MAME... technically. It still has some bugs left however, and it needs its own specialized version of MAME to be playable. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CQ7lcLCdXgY 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
