I don't think they are based on any particular species...

I haven't looked closely at their models, but I'm going to take a gander that the scorp is H. arizonensis and the T is A. chalcodes.

I wonder if this wil inspire more fear in people about tarantulas and scorpions or make people more aware ad want to know more about them... I hope it doesn't give scorps & T's bad press. :(

especially the title.. "deadly creatures".. :wall:

Unless players believe that tarantulas and scorpions regularly defeat rattlensnakes and gila monsters in fights, both of which are venomous too, I don't think there will be a problem with them striking even more fear in the general populace.

the game is also really unrealistic, cool looking but unrealistic.
i don't think that a scorpion in the wild will ever grab a bug, jump in the air, do a flip and slam it to the ground. if anyone thinks that scorpions and tarantulas are acrobats needs to do a little reserch.

i was commenting on the idea of people becoming more afraid of scorpions and tarantulas after the game comes out. i think the game LOOKS cool as hell and i look forward to playing it.

I got Deadly Creatures on February 18. I finished it today. When I took a look at the enemy list the enemies are fake. There were King scorpion, Bone scorpion, warrior beetle, toxic beetle and I think the enemy tarantula's a Mexican Red Knee tarantula.

they used many real animals too though. black widows, horned lizards, gila monsters, and I think even leopard lizards(you NEVER hear about those guys) were used.

How was the game anyway?

And to answer the Original Poster's question, they definitely mixed a bunch together. I saw a video on game development and they were filming some species I assume were models for the game, and I saw some Hadrurus and a Pandinus imperator in the video.

Yea I'm sure everyone will think that after playing this game, just like everyone thought dinosaurs had super long tongues, could jump and hover by running in place in the air, and spit fireballs once Yoshi came onto the video game scene.

LOL Hell yeah. By the way it's a pretty sweet game but could be better (doesn't that sound like the classic nintendo problem?).
