Primal was released on March 25, 2003 as a PS2 exclusive - it was developed by Sony Cambridge (which became Guerrilla Cambridge, going defunct in 2017) - Sony Cambridge also developed MediEvil 1/2, Frogger 1/2 for PS1, and.... GhostHunter for PS2 -- which we have a full playthrough of on this channel! It was also published by Sony.

Okay, the fact that Trev said he was getting GhostHunter feels --- made by the same company, released in the same year -- tremendous.

What is -not- tremendous is this game. The story starts out interesting enough, but the dialog and story dump is simply something we were not used to back then -- it leaves an insanely bad first impression. Then finding out that despite being 'le chosen one', you can't really do anything (as of yet, at least) and the game is more of an adventure game (again, at least at first) is a huge, huge turnoff.

I was actually considering completing this game through the first 10-15 minutes, but seeing the rest of this 40 minute part really turned me off to it. It's an interesting idea, wrapped into what ends up being a terrible first hour of the game. It might get better --- but I'm not sticking around to find out. Thanks for watching!
