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.

Whoa, wait. Birds? Those raptors were like birds? Giant killer chickens? Yeah right. What's next? They didn't shoot laser beams? :lol

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.

Because Monkey Island showed how much more money than can make with other people's IPs. Also I would argue that Sam & Max is almost technically their own IP since Purcell and many of the people who made the original game are involved with the new ones.

Try to imagine yourself in the Cretaceous Period. You get your first look at this "six foot turkey" as you enter a clearing. He moves like a bird, lightly, bobbing his head. And you keep still because you think that maybe his visual acuity is based on movement like T-Rex – he'll lose you if you don't move. But no, not Velociraptor. You stare at him, and he just stares right back. And that's when the attack comes. Not from the front, but from the side, from the other two raptors you didn't even know were there. Because Velociraptor's a pack hunter, you see, he uses coordinated attack patterns and he is out in force today. And he slashes at you with this – a six-inch retractable claw, like a razor, on the middle toe. He doesn't bother to bite your jugular like a lion, oh no... he slashes at you here, or here... or maybe across the belly, spilling your intestines. The point is... you are alive when they start to eat you.

So you know... try to show a little respect.

Clearly the JP love will never die. Come on Steven, give us JP4, a great one, so that the end of the series doesn't go out with god damn Jurassic Park 3.

Grant: Billy, can you tell me what that was?

Billy: Suchomimus.

Grant: No, think bigger.

Billy: Baryonyx.

*Grant slaps Billy across the face*

Grant: Billy, are you retarded, or do you not know what bigger means?

Billy: B-but Dr. Grant I-I-thought.

Grant: Have you been busy jerking off during class, you were your dropped on your head when you were a kid. You said Suchomimus, and I said bigger, you gave me Baryonyx. How the fuck do you come up with a 30 foot animal being bigger than a 40 foot animal? Great, just great. I'm in the worse place possible on earth, and I'm stuck with you.

I love how Billy gets chased in the opposite direction by the pteranodons, yet when they get to the beach and the military first arrives, Billy is already being treated in a medical bunker on one of the boats

god I hate that fucking movie.

I am going to be incredibly disappointed if this doesn't include a joke about stealing Jeff Goldblum's shoes

You hear me, Jake? One joke, that's all I'm asking, and you have my money. A single, throwaway joke.

I will buy this when it comes out, I don't even really play point-and-click, I don't care.

Jurassic Park is like one of my most fav things ever.

I'm hoping for a bonus mini game where you play as Samuel Jackson, where the goal is to back into your own severed arm prop which then proceeds to hand you your own butt.

Could it be timed with the Blu-Ray release? : D : D : D

Seems mighty coincidental : D

Holy shit, day fucking one.

Hopefully this means the rumor about Universal releasing JP on Blu-ray later this year is true.

Very cool news. It seems like Telltale is doing an awful lot these days. It's great, don't get me wrong, but... just how big is their studio? In terms of # of employees, I mean.

Billy: At least I don't come up with dumbshit theories like tyrannosaurs having movement-based vision. "It can't see us if we don't move!" Wow, that would be a great adaptation for a 7-ton predator hunting grazing herbivores, or scavenging carrion if you buy into that route.

Jesus, next you'll start up again about how a fucking reptile was more intelligent than social mammals like cetaceans or primates. Seriously? "Smarter than apes?" WE'RE apes, Grant, and yet other species of bird are not smarter than us and our relatives! Like, corvids are pretty smart for birds, but come the fuck on, a dromaeosaurid would not have been close to the intelligence of a similarly-sized mammalian carnivore, simply due to brain size and energy costs.

Christ.

Grant: Well, you fucking stole the raptor eggs.

Billy: Okay, my bad on that. (but seriously fuck you and that fucking "vocalization whistle" shit what the christ)

All they're doing that we're aware of is Sam & Max (season is about half over), Puzzle Agent (probably about done and is a tiny sideproject), and then this.

Maybe we get to play as the guy that goes to the island to retrieve Nedry's Barbasol.

I can't really see how you'd do a JP game without action elements, and much as I love Telltale, I'm not too sure I want them to attempt those. But I'll be optimistic.

having beaten & dug the Sega-CD one (that was kinda point-and-click?) in the day, this can, almost by definition, only be better than that. cant wait.

ERMYGERD!
I can totally see this being on Natal...

You're home alone, playing the game, you encounter a T-rex, you must remain completely still for 30 minutes. 2 minutes in, you need to pee and the controller is out of reach... what do you do?

For the record, as a lot of people seem to find this part of the film technically inaccurate, this is UNIX - it's the FSN file system navigator running on SGI IRIX 4.0.5.

. . . why not? the movie is as much about solving puzzles and trying to survive a bad situation as it is blasting shit. i hope this isn't one of those "this should be a shooter" posts. i'm superfly tnt when i read that shit.
