Psst, guys... I hear Michael Giacchino's free of any TV show commitments right about now. Just sayin'.

But will he go back to us lowly gamers, now that he is out there scoring hollywood epics?

What? Dinosaur game?

I hope hope hope hope the dinosaurs will be dinosaurs and not fantasy inventions.

There's a good joke to be made here somewhere.

 

[ShockingAlberto]

Why has no one posted Dino-GAF

 

[Tigel]

Well that came out of nowhere.
Day one for sure!!

Dear Telltale: Giacchino to score that game. DO IT!
Edit: Or John Williams!

Spoiler

What? A man can dream...

Now eventually you might have dinosaurs in your, in your dinosaur game, right? Hello?

 

[Diamond]

our skilled telltale game designers find rich deposits of adventure games encased in fossilized amber. using special tools they extract that game genre, distill it in petri dishes, and bingo. . . point and click dna!

God creates dinosaurs. God destroys dinosaurs. God creates Man. Man creates adventure games. Man destroys adventure games. Man destroys god. Man creates adventure games with dinosaurs.

 

[witness]

Holy shit, shocking news. Day 1.

 

[Devil Theory]

Utahraptor says hello.

 

[commissar]

Oh man I hope this is the bi-monthly kind of episodic.
An extra level of polish could make it genuinely tense.

Either way it'll be a day one purchase for me

 

[MrDaravon]

What the fuck :lol

 

[Cow Mengde]

Not sure if want. I'm not too keen on point and click games. I like Layton because the puzzles.

And Deinonychus are not as big as you'd think. A lot of book over exaggerate the size of this dinosaur. The say man size, but they probably mean a pygmy, cause they aren't that big. Luckily for them, Mongolia has the perfect excuse to hide their mistake with Achillobator. Now that's a man size Dromaeosaur. The original novel even said they were Velociraptor mongolensis. A quick "oops, it's actually Achillobator" would easily dodge the problem. I doubt anyone would though.

 

[Salsa]

wha.. this is weird in an awesome way.

 

[ShockingAlberto]

Are you arm about them

 

[Cow Mengde]

Are you arm about them

Nice try, but you clearly touched up my post. See how it's properly spelled in the original post with no signs of me having edited the post?

 

[MomoPufflet]

DO very much want.

 

[IntelliHeath]

unexpected announcement but hype and hope it will be good for my sake

 

[Gattsu25]

Hmm..You are right

 

[EmCeeGramr]

Velociraptor mongoliensis

Dromaeosaurus albertensis

Deinonychus antirrhopus

Achillobator giganticus

Utahraptor ostrommayorum


I wanted to find a Pyroraptor scale comparison, but there don't appear to be any.



Or ones for LI'L CUTIES like Bambiraptor or Atrociraptor <3.

Oh God I remember getting this. :lol :lol :lol :lol

 

[Cow Mengde]

There's also Austroraptor from Australia.

 

[A Human Becoming]

Are you...are you serious?

 

[EmCeeGramr]

There's also Austroraptor from Australia.

holy shit that is awesome

 

[Spoo]

I guess telltale said the magic word.

 

[Owzers]

Are you...are you serious?

One should never joke about Jurassic Park.

 

[GDJustin]

Psst, guys... I hear Michael Giacchino's free of any TV show commitments right about now. Just sayin'.

He still does the music for Fringe...

 

[Cow Mengde]

holy shit that is awesome

This sucker also has strangely short arms like T.Rex.

 

[LQX]

I remember there was one for the Sega CD. I wanted that thing so fucking bad but could not afford a Sega CD. For years I have thought about getting a Sega CD for that and a few other cinematic games. I hope it turns out well and doesn't use cartoony graphics.

 

[Plasma]

Sounds like a good idea hope they base it around the first book.

 

[RagnarokX]

I wanted to find a Pyroraptor scale comparison, but there don't appear to be any.

And Dilophosaurus didn't spit poison or have a frilled neck, and pachycephalosaurus probably didn't ram things head on.

Also, magic cliffs do not appear out of nowhere behind T-Rex fences to create a dramatic scene

 

[Haunted]

Honestly, though, I have to hear what kind of tone/approach they're taking with this before I actually get excited.


Telltale's adventures have been hit or miss for me.

There's also Austroraptor from Australia.

I think I've beaten that one in Monster Hunter.

 

[brandonh83]

He still does the music for Fringe...

Hm I thought he only wrote the main theme and the pilot.

 

[Ceebs]

Was under the impression he only did the pilot.

Edit: Bah late!

 

[Cow Mengde]

Hey since many of you here don't visit the OT, I got something to show you guys.

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=397057

I'm doing a show on dinosaurs and I'm looking for viewer mail questions for the first few episodes. Could use a few more since most of them are useless and I had to resort to even picking a joke post to answer in the show.

 

[epmode]

Hooray, more licensed properties.

 

[vareon]

Last year Telltale pre-empetively won E3 with their Tales of Monkey Island announcement. This year, this. Telltale <3

 

[brandonh83]

Was under the impression he only did the pilot.

Edit: Bah late!

beaten like a six foot turkey.

 

[Ceebs]

I guess this means more Monkey Island is not next up after Sam & Max. I would honestly take more Guybrush over an adventure game with Raptors. (as cool as that sounds)

 

[WillyFive]

J.J. Abrams did the main theme. Michael only did the pilot.

 

[ntropy]

Totally loved this when I was young.

i remember playing this with its annoying inverted control.

 

[MoonsaultSlayer]

Given that we're in 2010 and knowledge about Dinosaurs has advanced substantially, do you think they will have feather-technology in this game?

I WANT TO BELIEVE!

This and other recent learnings is why I'd love a JP movie remake that stayed true to the book as well.

 

[Mr. Perfect]

I was looking through my Game Informer issue with Infamous 2 on the cover and ahhhhhhhhhh Telltale is making an episodic Jurassic Park game across " multiple platforms" They just say it's going to be a cinematic adventure and the first installment is supposed to hit at the end of the year.


EXCITED!!!!!!!

 

[donkey show]

Let us get to play as Robert Muldoon!

"Clever girl..."

 

[GotchaForce]

Genius plan to get Jeff Goldblum in the studio

Now they can steal his shoes!

 

[Gameboy415]

Wow. Seriously crazy timing....I was JUST looking up Jurassic Park games (for Genesis) on eBay before coming to GAF!

Here's hoping the new stuff rocks!

How I feel right now:

 

[Mr. B Natural]

Jurassic Park!? Really? Some year called and they want their old franchise back.

Telltale is so talented. Why can't they get the confidence to come up with their own IP? Get some balls, guys. C'mon now.

 

[Buttonbasher]

It's Telltale so day one. Every time I question them I learn not to question them.

I love them so.

So this will theoretically be after Puzzle Agent which means it might be a while before we see it, right?

EDIT: That said, I have no idea how this will work.

 

[bumpkin]

"Clever girl..."

"Shooooottt heeeerrrrr! Shooooootttt heeeerrrrr!"

 

[Pooya]

Psst, guys... I hear Michael Giacchino's free of any TV show commitments right about now. Just sayin'.

Isn't he involved in the new Medal of Honor game?

 

[GarthVaderUK]

Fantastic news

Puzzle Agent comes out this month, so yeah obviously later. And this will certainly not be until Sam & Max is done for the season.

Wouldn't expect it to start until like October at the absolute earliest. Probably later than that.
