My expectation for this game considering its telltale: adventure game with realistic looking art design.
I'm looking forward to this

 

[Anticitizen One]

Wow. How have I not seen this game before?! How does it compare to Park Builder? The same, just visually better?

Never played park builder but Operation:Genesis is an amazing game. I had it for xbox and loved it.

 

[Gameboy415]

Tell me, Telltale, are you going to have any dinosaurs in this "dinosaur game" of yours?

 

[Cow Mengde]

Really? You want an action game? What makes you think they could even pull that off?

Heavy Rain style play is pretty similar to standard graphic adventure gameplay anyways, so I don't see the problem.

I didn't expect an action game, but I didn't expect a crappy QTE game like Heavy Rain either.

 

[Radogol]

Tell me, Telltale, are you going to have any dinosaurs in this "dinosaur game" of yours?

Out of six screens, only one doesn't have dinosaurs in it.

 

[Salsa]

Holy shit at the scans, this looks nothing like Telltale, its like a completely serious take.

 

[Mifune]

I didn't expect an action game, but I didn't expect a crappy QTE game like Heavy Rain either.

Holy shit, talk about jumping to conclusions. The mere mention that the game has QTEs has relegated it to "crappy QTE game" status.

It mentioned Heavy Rain.

I wasn't trying to get everyone upset I know telltale doesn't really do action games, but they could always expand their horizons. Jurassic park ip just seem more suited to action to me.

This I agree. It's never a bad thing to expand your horizon.

 

[EmCeeGramr]

Man, I wonder if the T-Rex will be able to see movement. (I hope you try that and it eats you)

 

[Bernbaum]

Wow, the screens look like the most technically-rich in a Telltale game to date.

And double wow at the serious tone - I thought it would be a bit whimsical for some reason.

 

[Cow Mengde]

That always makes me laugh. T.rex is one of the few carnivores that can see in stereoscopic vision. Had it not been for the cataclysmic event 65 million years ago, Tyrannosaurus, would be playing the 3DS today.

 

[EmCeeGramr]

Also I wonder what the reaction would be if Telltale updated the dinosaur designs to be more realistic (i.e., feathered raptors).

 

[Salsa]

Why in a million years would they do this ?

It's about the old movies, not a remake

it would result in flaaaaamessssssssss

 

[UrbanRats]

Also I wonder what the reaction would be if Telltale updated the dinosaur designs to be more realistic (i.e., feathered raptors).

But scans already shows old style raptors, so..

 

[Cow Mengde]

If they want to make it accurate then they should either change it to the proper size or rename it to Utahraptor of Achillobator.

 

[ilikeme]

Looks freakin' sweet

Looking forward to this ALOT, hope it gets a release for ps3

Jurassic Park is so boss

 

[Radogol]

If they want to make it accurate then they should either change it to the proper size or rename it to Utahraptor of Achillobator.

Don't be so anal about this. The creatures in the park are reverse-engineered using damaged DNA from both actual dinosaurs and a bunch of reptiles and other animals. That's not a no-prize material, it's all in the movie and actually a plot point.

 

[Graphics Horse]

Also I wonder what the reaction would be if Telltale updated the dinosaur designs to be more realistic (i.e., feathered raptors).

I can't remember much about it but I think book had a part that explained how the dinosaurs' genes had been altered if necessary to look how we thought they looked, rather than how they actually were.

 

[Radogol]

I can't remember much about it but I think book had a part that explained how the dinosaurs' genes had been altered if necessary to look how we thought they looked, rather than how they actually were.

Not really altered, there just wasn't enough DNA material to recreate the dinosaurs 100%. So basically, the scientists made shit up as they went along. In other words, the creatures are made to look and behave like dinosaurs based on as-of-then current scientific knowledge, but are not actual dinosaurs. That was both in the book and in the movie.

 

[Cow Mengde]

Don't be so anal about this.

I only said that cause EmCeeGramr wondered about what would happen if they were more accurate.

Ah yeah, that sounds more like it, thanks

[anonymousAversa]

Fuck yes. One of my favorite series' of all time.

thread is seriously lacking in dinosaur .gifs

Spoiler

shoooot herrr

 

[Kyleripman]

IIRC, in the book, Wu wanted to do this with the dinosaurs, in addition to making them slower so people could view them more easily (version 4.0 or something). Hammond was against it. So I don't think they had actually implemented these "conscious" alterations to the dinos just yet. I think it was all DNA mixtures that explain the anomalies.

As for the game, looks great!

Looking good!

 

[Stumpokapow]

no feathers, unrealistic, *drafts letter to national academy of sciences asking for telltale to be formally reprimanded*

 

[Dante]

Looks awesome:

 

[V_Ben]

Didn't notice that one :O It really is shaping up nicely!

 

[blackMamba1187]

All over this. Its not even funny.

 

[Kagari]

I'm glad the setting is the island from the first movie and not site B.

 

[Hot Coldman]

:O

Day 65,000,000 BC

 

[Dante]

Didn't notice that one :O It really is shaping up nicely!

Yeah there a bunch more on the site, the docks, characters, looks sooooooo good.

 

[V_Ben]

Yeah there a bunch more on the site, the docks, characters, looks sooooooo good.

Oh, I saw those ones, but I didn't see that little arrow pointing to more screens

 

[OgTheClever]

I would happily pre-purchase this now. Hopefully there's a console release.

 

[thehillissilent]

Wow, the screens look like the most technically-rich in a Telltale game to date.

And double wow at the serious tone - I thought it would be a bit whimsical for some reason.

Yeah, but they did make some CSI games so as far as the tone...

 

[a Master Ninja]

This looks like the game I wished Jurassic Park Sega CD was when I was a kid.

 

[derFeef]

Yay dinosaurs! Looks great.

 

[Rated-Rsuperstar]

The human character model looks pretty bad but the dinosaurs look good.

 

[Kyleripman]

Wow, this looks even better than I had dared to hope.

From the article: "These stories are built on deep character development and the hope that viewers and readers are emotionally invested with the human element long before a dinosaur emerges from the brush."

That's the first time I've EVER heard that said about JP (not that I disagree - the wistful dreams of Hammond, Grant coming to terms with his children companions, etc).

 

[Jocchan]

A bit too plasticky for my taste.
This screenshot, though, is amazing:

 

[atomsk]

This is probably my most anticipated game of the year outside of maybe Disaster Report 4

 

[Dick Laurent]

backing into samuel l. jackson's severed arm - the game. can't fucking wait.

 

[Coop]

Looks pretty good besides the humans. Consider me interested.

 

[Stallion Free]

God that looks excellent. I can't wait to see the game in motion.

 

[Cow Mengde]

Will buy day 1.

Spoiler

If the gameplay isn't shit.

 

[EmCeeGramr]

no feathers, unrealistic, *drafts letter to national academy of sciences asking for telltale to be formally reprimanded*

agreed, and those forearms are all wrong

 

[Anticitizen One]

This looks like the game I wished Jurassic Park Sega CD was when I was a kid.

That game was actually pretty fun back in the day. I hope this one is like a better version of that game

 

[erpg]

DINOSAURS!
