I wonder how it'd work, what would be the 'main' dinosaurs, and the 'special' dinosaurs. It's hard to categorise D:

The swarms would look epic, if you've got like a T rex in there, and a hundred (raptors?) just charging towards you, specially if they sorted out the interaction with the environment and had them smashing buildings and stuff, although that'd be a bit hard. But hell we're dreaming right?

Well a survival game where the player is up against dinosaurs instead of zombies would certainly be a fresh concept. I think not L4D itself but a game with a similar idea except maybe on a dinosaur island instead of an overrun city could prove to be quite a good idea for a survival game. Especially if the dinosaurs are quite large and therefore it takes more effort to bring one down.

No....Just no...It wouldn't be Left 4 Dead anymore. It would be a Co-op version of Turok.

Not to mention the game would fucking hard as hell. I mean a T-Rex for a tank? There the size of a small building! How are you suppose to run from them when they just need to take 2 steps to catch you?

I suppose Raptors could be hunters, Tyrannosaurus could be tank, pterodactyls could be smokers (except instead of grabbing you with a tongue they get you in their claws and fly away, and have to be shot down) some dinosaur that can make loud noises could be boomer (screamer, really, but lets not split hairs) and a shitload of normal dinosaurs could be normal. It could be set after the asteroid hit so that all dinosaurs are sent mad by lack of food, and you could play time travelers trying to go to the future but end up in the past.

Damn it, this is actually a pretty good idea on your part.
Wayy, win for me. Plus as the tank somewhat inspires fear in L4D a much bigger T-Rex is more likely to scare people shitless

Hospitals?
Scenario 1:
"John, you have cancer. It's terminal."

Scenario 2:
"John, you have cancer. It's terminal.", while the doctor is a fucking velociraptor.
Fucking lol'd

Oh, and it could be called Left 4 Dino.

It would also be completely anachronistic because most of these dinos existed at different times, but who cares!

Exactly, zombies don't exist at all, so if anything it's a jump up in reality ;D

Yeah, but y'know, I'm FUCKING SCARED SHITLESS of the T-Rex.
It's awesome though.
Just far more scary than say... zombies.

Sorry to rain on your parade, but dinosaurs really aren't all that awesome.

What you think = Giant reptile hunters. Coloured green, brown, red.

Reality = Giant flamboyent bird scavengers. Coloured pink and yellow.

So, more like a Chocobo than anything else. Laaaaaaaame.

Also, I had no idea that Pararaptor was such a dino-nerd!

Well maybe not L4D style.
Instead of trying to survive....how about, 4 player co-op DINOSAUR HUNTING?

You would have to work together to say: capture/kill a T-rex, equipping your team specificly for that job, so you wouldn't wan't to run into a pack of Raptor's (or whatever) while hunting something else.

Taking out a T-rex or something else big in open territory would require special tools and coordinated attacks.
While taking out a pack of raptors in the woods would have your team moving back-to-back to avoid being pounced, weilding shortrange weapons because of the trees.

Then there's nocturnal prey. Cave dwelling prey......

I think it could be great. Though it would have to be less hectic then L4D, less dino's that take more coordinated effort to take-down.
