Dinosaur Hunting Xtreme

Dinosaur Hunting Xtreme aka DHX is a cancelled PC game by Legba. It was FPS game allowed third-person view. The goal: hunt dinos.

Plot
You would play as a park ranger in a dinosaur park. Your job is to keep the dinosaur population in check to ensure no dinosaur uprisings. Your goal is to take out Old One Eye, the meanest most vicious T-Rex in the park.

Gameplay
The game would play like Monster Hunter, minus the crafting aspect. Cull raptor populations to earn money for more specialist weapons. Build up your arsenal with grinding to be the best.

The dinosaurs leave tracks, such as footprints and scents. Use these clues to track them them. Night time hunting is the worst as visibility is nil, save for the evil red eyes in the dark.

There were to be two main modes. Ranger: the main mode. Hunt progressive tougher monsters to power up and kill Old One Eye. Mayhem: survival mode. Unlimited ammo and vehicle gas but the dinos are out to get you.

There was also going to be multiplayer mode, probably set only in the Mayhem gameplay mode.

Development
The game had a lot of interesting technology going into it. The dinosaur AI was adaptable. They can smell you and you can smell them. The wind affects this. The dinosaurs' movement is impacted by damage.

Cancellation
The game was quietly worked on with no official announcement. Then along came Virtual TV, a shiny new 3D technology spearheaded by Jon Hare (of Sensible Soccer fame). DHX was then reworked into the game Dinosaur Movie Maker... which also got cancelled.
