8ORION: Dino Beatdown Releases, We Have Copies to Give Away!
After a slight delay, Spiral Game Studios have released their co-op dinosaur shooter ORION: Dino Beatdown. In what may be the most comprehensive press release ever, they note that today’s release should be considered a “seed” version of the game and that players can expect free updates over the coming months that will evolve and polish the game. Judging by the frenzy of activity on their Facebook page, Spiral is already working to get feedback on some of the more serious bugs that have popped up since the game’s launch.
You can currently grab Dino Beatdown on Steam for $8.99, a dollar off the game’s normal price. We’re also giving away several free copies on Twitter! Just follow us at @KBMODGaming and retweet this tweet for your chance to win! We’ll be picking five (5) winners at random tomorrow at 7:00pm EST, and the winners will be sent Steam keys via direct message. Good luck!

This is so awesome! been looking forward to this since Dan talk about it on the podcast!
I already got my copy, i won one of the Early Birds giveaways on wednesday! :D
this is most definently going to cost me everything.
Just bought a four pack. Looks like a good way to spend a couple of hours with firends! :)
I bought the game and was extremely disappointed. I watched the live stream on it, and this build doesn’t look a thing like it.
The graphics are complete garbage (Maybe 2000 era) and the game doesn’t work most of the time. I’m not exaggerating at all here. I don’t know what they changed but the game looks worse than Medal of Honor:Allied Assault (2002).
That being said, on the forums the dev David Prassel said that this build is not the build the reviewers had, and it is not the build they wanted to ship. He said there will be a new build on monday 5/7 that is totally different. I’m reserving judgement on the game until I see the new build.
If you are thinking of buying it, wait until Monday.
I think you’re being a bit harsh with it, it’s not a bad game what so ever.
It needs some optimization issues fixed etc.
You say the graphics are complete garbage?, i can’t see that.
The graphics aren’t that bad and you can’t be expecting “Battlefield 3 graphics” for every single game release.
Look at my post in the forums. I posted a couple screenshots of what it looks like for me.
That said, if you have the same problem (bad graphics) there is a temporary fix by typing something into the console, which I don’t remember off the top of my head. After doing that, the game starts to look a bit more like it should but there are still tons of bugs.
these guys are using stolen pictures for their achievement icons! look at this: http://i.imgur.com/Nl1m8.jpg
this isnt the only things theyve stolen either. they have a history of stealing art during development and firing employees without pay. check it out: http://gatheryourparty.com/articles/2012/05/04/orion-employee-beatdown/
It makes me sad to see this game come out and be so buggy :(
I hope the patch makes it playable, as it has potential to be really damn fun!
I’m tired of missing out on stuff like this because i don’t have a Twitter account. Gonna make one today.
