Primal:Primal 2: Difference between revisions

In 2005 Paul Donovan (senior programmer at SCEE Cambridge) posted in a Usenet Newsgroup ([http://groups.google.com/group/uk.games.video.playstation/msg/a20ceb591013713d?hl=en&dmode=source located here]) that the developers had once started working on some ideas for a sequel to ''Primal''. Donovan commented that they had completed some prototypes of some new gameplay features. The developers then received the license to make a videogame adaptation of the television show, ''24'', this in turn ceased the development of ''Primal 2'', and all focus was diverted to ''24: The Game'' (2006).

In a 2012 PlayStation blogpost ([http://blog.us.playstation.com/2012/02/27/primal-ps2-cult-classic-comes-to-psn-tuesday/ located here]) written by Chris Sorrell (the creative director of ''Primal''), Mark Gibbons (the lead artist behind ''Primal'') expanded upon the comments Paul Donovan made in 2005. Gibbons confirmed that once ''Primal'' had been finished, there was some preliminary work made upon a sequel. Gibbons also revealed some of what ''Primal 2'''s story would have been about; that it would have featured [[Primal:Jen|Jen]]’s lover [[Primal:Lewis|Lewis]] as the central character, and would have told the story of Lewis' journey through [[Primal:Oblivion|Oblivion]]'s version of Hell, back to Jen in [[Primal:Mortalis|Mortalis]].

{{Quote|If there were to be a Primal 2 it should feature Jen. …Well I do agree with that one. Further to the comments by Mark, yes we did explore a Primal 2 with Lewis as a lead character. We also explored another take that had Jen as lead and centred on the notion that the demons of Oblivion had found a way through into our world. That one had some cool imagery that I recall – Jen in a flowing leather coat riding a spike-wheeled moto-X bike, Prince Jared driving to Jen’s rescue in an ice-cream truck (garbled music blaring) and sub-way tunnels teeming with spider-like Wraith mutants.|[[Chris Sorrell]] on ''Primal 2''}}
