What are some good games about dinosaurs?
Ark. Best one besides Turok.
>>343474406
Ark is terrible.
Are there games that feature ACTUAL dinos? None of this Jurassic Park fanfic shit.
Actual feathered dinos and all that
>>343475094
feathers look like shit
I .. Fuck. Turok?
Damn there really is a shortage of good dinosaur games.
Dino Crisis?
>>343475245
Dino Crisis is pretty good, but I don't know why survival horror and dinosaurs don't mix very well in my opinion, not to mention Dino Crisis was basically a Resident Evil reskin with dinosaurs. Hope Capcom remakes that game one day.

I got it for free selling gems during whichever winter sale introduced those. It's really cool because it shows you the background of the park and some different dinosaurs. It feels like Jurassic Park and this was before Telltale was up its own ass, so there's no illusion of choice.
Dunno if it's worth buying though. Just watch it.
>>343473962
Despite this looking awful as a still, Jurrasic Park still holds up in motion.
Anyway, as for the topic at hand, there aren't any good dinosaur games. It's as simple as that.
chaos island? paraworld
look on steam for more. those are mostly multiplayer though
>>343473962
Orion Prelude is 50 cents
There are skin imprints from dozens of dinosaurs, and most are pebbled or scaly. There's a reason they're depicted that way.
Only small theropods would've needed feathers as insulation against the cold. Even something like T-Rex was massive enough to retain bodyheat through size.

They should just use the sort of control and combat scheme in resident evil 6 and make a new dino crisis featuring that.
>>343475158
Oh my god you fucking retards are actually a thing?
>>343477036
Is the cu.ckstarter still up? did it reach it's goal?
Is playing Turok 2008 worth it?
I persisted through Turok Evolution, if that's any indication of what "worth it" may mean.
Honestly Ark is pretty dank. Just play singleplayer (although it has issues) or buy a server, lock it and play with your friends. It has plenty of PvE and quite a bit of gameplay without PvP at all. Dungeons and loot, etc. There's a lot of grinding in it though, but you can change all that in server settings if you feel it's too slow.
>>343476987
Tyrannosaurus was almost definitely feathered on large sections of its body.
>>343477116
Holy shit how do I handle an opinion.
>>343477036
There are so many different versions of what is essentially this same game and they're all astoundingly bad.
I recently started watching videos about ancient animals and paleontology stuff. It's awesome what people know about animal biology and evolution stuff
what are some youtube channels with that kind of fun stuff?
>>343477118
Blew way the fuck past the goal, unlocked multiplayer, more playable dinosaurs, lots of good shit.
I'm posting it again!
>>343474724
i second this, i literally just downloaded it and got a refund right after because it was terrible
>>343476580
No. When evidence about presence or absence of feathers exists, all dinosaurs within Coelurosauria have had them (covering all major clades). However, there's positive evidence that shows sauropods and at least most other Saurischian dinosaurs didn't have them. The same goes for the other main branch of Dinosauria, Ornithischians, and evidence of any kind filaments (not necessarily homologous to Coelurosaurian feathers) is limited to a few species (Psittacosaurus, Kulindadromeus, Tianylong and a few others) and there's positive evidence that shows many major groups didn't have them.
>>343477290
Are the devs trustworthy? hows development been?
Con-Man burned me good and kuckstarters make me nervous now
>>343476604
The Lost World for PS1. It was okay.
>>343477247
Opinions are irrelevant in the face of scientific fact.
Dinosaurs were freakish feathered/quilled monsters. Birds are just a small sub-clade of dinosaurs.
>>343476580
Where's the proofs?
>>343473962
>>343477254
Enough people are interested in dinos to get the ball rolling, but not enough so that it can snowball and be something good, in other words the chances of a good one coming out is on the same level for any other indie game.
>>343477385

I seem to recall that these feathered depictions are often exaggerated
So were larger dinosaurs warm or cold blooded?
>>343477385
>no
wrong. OUT
>>343477395
The development team has spent three years working their asses off to get the current alpha build on their free time for zero dollars just because they love dinosaurs, I think it's in good hands.At worst I'm out $15 and I consider it a fair gamble for what looks like an amazing potential product.
>>343477254
No there is nothing like this being developed by anyone else. The closest thing is The Isle and its final planned form is something way different from this.
>>343477139
Evolution at least retains some of the weird 90's stuff of the original games. 2008 is just a military shooter where dinosaurs sometimes appear. It's got a couple cool bosses like a spidertank, giant worm, and the final one, but it's still pretty bland and missable.

Clearly you have bested me with your supreme intelligence. I'll get out of the way of that massive fedora tip.
>>343477084
You're absolutely right, that would be great, but Capcom probably wouldn't do something like that because they think Dino Crisis is not a good selling franchise, therefore not worth the investment.
I'm curious, if dinos were basically proto-birds, does that mean some dinos were basically huge chickens? and therefore taste like chickens? would deep fried dino taste like kfc?
>>343477519
Whatever I've gathered from pop science literature (most recently Tyrannosaur Chronicles by David Hone, that one was in the more academic side of things but pop science nonetheless, no hundred pages long list of references or too technical language), paleontology blogs and few scientific papers that really piqued my interest.
It's not my own field but I'd dare to say I'm well-read for an amateur.
>>343477853
Dinos had crazy buff muscles so they'd probably taste like ass.
chicken is good because we make them get squishy and fat
>>343477630

Such is life, fuckboi
The feather meme was dumb to begin with
>>343475094
>Some dinosaurs had feathers = all dinosaurs were giant chickens
Fuck off, retard
>>343477853
Since mammals came from reptiles, would early reptiles also taste like cow?
I've put over 115 hours into this with no regrets. Shit was so fucking fun. The new one is okay, but the humans and tyrants are laughably underpowered, and the game is literally fluffy raptor simulator.
>>343477582
Depends on what we're talking about. On many of them in current paleoart the feathers might actually be under-exaggerated - ceratopsians, for example, were likely covered in quills.
Pic related is as accurate as is possible for us to get, right down to the exact actual coloration and patterns (the specimen was so well-preserved scientists could see melanosomes under a microscrope to figure out the colors).
>>343477737
Dominating literally an entire enemy team of like, 10+ people with desmastosuchus was the high point of that game for me.
How much does the DLC add? Does anyone still play it, or is it just something to do with friends?

Here's a fun fact.

Yeah well. Those never existed.
It might be mobile shit, but its more or less a way to kill time
And its the only other Jurassic Park builder besides Operation Genesis
>>343478286

>>343478383
Yes they did, you idiot, just not as depicted in JP.
There will never EVER be a dino crisis 4;_;
>>343478340
In my honest opinion, I think feathered dinosaurs look way cooler than non-feathered dinos
>>343478340
Lizardy dinos are objectively less interesting and scary than the toothy giant deathbird monsters they actually were.
Lego Jurassic World is alright
>>343478383
Velociraptors did exist, anon. They were slightly bigger than chickens.
The ones seen in Jurassic Park are technically Deinonychus. Speilberg just loved the velociraptor name and used it in his movie
>>343473962
Jurassic Park still has the most convincing CG in films and it was among the first attempts at it.
How was this allowed to happen?
If I'm correct, the CG was handled by george and berg directly hands on with scientists and tech people.
We've since had 2 decades of tech progress and leagues of artists.
Shows that modern CG needs people of actual vision and knowledge instead of art backgrounds to get things to look real.
>>343478361
I own a birb yes.
>>343478574
Is an Ostrich cooler than a Crocodile?
The answer is no.
>>343478339
One more, although in this one I think the coloration is speculative, the feather placement and everything else is accurate (so interestingly these sorts had a scaly tail).
>>343478460
They're certainly not birds.
>>343478686
>Jurassic Park still has the most convincing CG in films
>>343478732
Birds in general are cool, m8
>>343478547
I still haven't played 3 yet. Kind of funny they jumped into the "sequel set in space" cliché.
Reminder that no actual proof of dinosaurs being proto-birds exist. Evolution is just a poorly thought out, baseless theory. It has no place in modern civilization.
We were created by a higher power. To call us "evolved monkeys" is fucking insulting.
>>343478686
Because it wasn't CG. They used robots to make it as real as possible. Not sure about World though.

Ostriches are more similar to herbivores like gallimimus than the predatory dromaeosaurids that would fuck your shit up with 6" claws and mouths full of teeth after dropping on you from a tree and pinning your ass to the ground so its babies can eat you alive.
>>343478686
Jurassic's CG is the best simply because of GOD TEIR compositing skill.
They used the exact perfect amount of motion blur and velocity for the animation, the right material and lighting, right animation and feel of movement, right colour grading, levelling, everything to put it into the scene properly..
They did their absolute utmost to make it look as real as possible. The single biggest fuckup is always motion blur in modern CG. Always always incorrect and never matches the camera filming it's composited into.
>>343477619
>Long answer
Warm-blooded and cold-blooded are inaccurate terms.
If you want to get more technical, there are homeotherms (organism maintains constant temperature), poikilotherms (organism's temperature varies to a considerable degree), endotherms (the heat is generated by the animal) and ectotherms (heat is primarily gained from outside sources rather than generated by the organism). For example, bats are poikilothermic endotherms while tunas are homeothermic ectotherms.
Now, by measuring growth rates it has been concluded dinosaurs had growth rates equal or even exceeding that of mammals and modern birds so they had "warm-blooded" metabolism. However, as adults dinosaurs were generally speaking big and due to their low surface to volume ratio they would have struggled NOT to maintain a constant body temperature (gigantothermy) and it's very much possible their metabolic rates changed during the course of their life cycle and that adults were ectotherms.
>Short answer
They were active animals that could live in cold climates and didn't need to bask in the sun to warm up or anything. I think that's what you're really asking.
>>343478845
You mention actual proof of evolution and then you proceed to say it's a baseless theory? What the fuck?

>Neither of them have feathers
Found the Jurassic Park 3 fan
>>343479250
Shit you're right, I thought that was only ichthyosaurs that were marine reptiles rather than dinosaurs.
>>343479430
Do you know any 5-ft frogs?
>>343479152
During the Mesozoic there was a great variety of marine reptiles, including long-necked plesiosaurs. However, they are not dinosaurs. Hell, they're about as closely related to mammals as they are to dinosaurs.
If you're thinking of old depictions of saurpods living in the swamps or such like, that idea is antiquated. Most animals can swim and sauropods probably could too (indeed, due to their pneumatic bones similar to those of modern birds - as much as 90% of their volume could be air - they certainly would have floated all right) but water wasn't their natural habitat.
>>343479250
wait explain this to me
>>343479447
They wanted to be more realistic with JP3, JW directly went back to the roots of JP1 and 2 which is why you have Wong teasing the viewers on it in JW talking about making them look "cooler".
You guys hear that rumor that the Jurassic World game was uncancelled? I'd be surprised if they didn't try to monetize it in a bigger way than that mobile game, what with it being the #2 movie of 2015, but I doubt that game will come out.I'll still buy it even though Jurassic World was dogshit
>>343479304
They explained this, the frog DNA used in the dinos caused them to look different.
>>343479447

>>343479617

Seriously what the fuck, things weren't like this 10 years ago.
>>343479204
left looks lower resolution, but that's the only real problem. the dinosaur in the background behind the one in front looks pretty good.
the right image looks like some gallery of enemies in a video game. like you go to an extras section on the main menu, then you see 3D models of every enemy in the game (think of trophies in super smash bros.)
so he's right, jurassic park does look better than jurassic world. which is very sad for modern cg.
>>343479596
It's really just a technicality of classification thing. They are classified as aquatic reptiles rather than dinosaurs because they're more closely related to turtles than long-necked dinosaurs you might associate them with.
They're still badass prehistoric monsters that were around at the same time.
>>343479609
>Jurassic World was dogshit

It was actually a decent sequel to the first unlike them
>>343479873
I literally didn't imply anything about JW being shit or not in my post. But you are a tremendous mongoloid autist if you think Lost World sucked.
>>3434791521
Most if not all "aquatic" Dinosaurs were actually reptiles. Same with flying Pterosaurs.

>>343479873
I'm assuming this isn't bait because so many people hold this opinion. It was done entirely without heart, and ran down a predictable checklist of 'things a blockbuster needs to have'. Lost world was greatcriticize it without the argument that the heroes are jerks or that T-Rex in San Diego was 'retarded'and the third, though cheap and comparatively bad, still had heart.

I actually loved Trespasser. I wasn't into gaming news and shit when they were advertising how it was the next big thing and didn't deliver but it felt like an adventure to me. I just wish we could get some sort of spiritual successor or remake where the enemies and dinosaurs felt dangerous. Attenborough's monologues made that game for me.
I also really loved Carnivores. The carnivores were dangerous, fast, and quiet when they knew you were there and always had me checking around myself.
I'd really like an open or semi-open world survival fps without all the typical bullshit tagged on the ones you see now (food, water, cold, I have to shit shit meters and markers), where raptor packs would hunt you down and make you sweat a bit, and swarm you fast like xenomporphs in AVP 1 and 2. Something to really challenge the player while keeping it immersive in the jungle or some overgrown village/town areas like in Trespasser. Something to test the player's reaction times, ability to think ahead, and so on.

The original Jurassic Park's CGI looks much better in motion while post-Lost World ones didn't. It's actually amazing how its CGI has managed to stand the test of time for over 20 years. A lot of love and dedication was put into those 4-7 minutes of CGI effects throughout the entire movie.

Mice are literal vermin, anon.

No you're right, those guys who first discovered and named dinosaurs in the 1800's and thought they were literally giant tail-dragging iguanas definitely know more than the scientists of today.

The fact that it's swallowing them whole and still alive is absolutely horrifying.
>>343481374
>that look it gives to the camera after eating the first rabbit
CUTE
>>343481374
when it rolls them to the side, is it trying to break the rabbits neck? if so, it sucks at doing that.

Fuck.

>>343481107
It's just etymology, it means nothing. Here's a phylogenetic tree. As you can see, dinosaurs are not part of Squamata (the group that includes lizards and snakes) and indeed are quite distantly related to them.

Pretty sure it's relatively active, but the survival mode or whatever is much better with people you know. It's shockingly in-depth too, letting you buy perks and even little Dino buddies to help you fuck shit up with
>>343481789
Nah, its trying to get the rabbit in a better position to fit in its mouth
>>343480803
>>343481796
Did Carnivores 2 have the night mode that Ice Age had? Hunting at night and hearing roars and howls as glowing eyes flicker around your periphery was mad spooks. Hunting games get me more tense than actual horror.
>>343481107
next you'll say tetraceratops is a dinosaur.
>>343477036
WHOA. Raptors could fucking climb trees? Raptors. Could. Climb. Trees? Can someone confirm this? Because that's easily the most terrifying thing I've ever heard.
Drop bears? I raise you a drop gator.

The fuck? Mice is fine but baby rabbits? Hell no.
>>343481808
>We haven't figured out what turtles evolved from
>>343481202
I'm more afraid of common mice and rats then I am of lizards or reptiles. Do you know how many diseases even those "cute" little field or deer mice carry?
Also those are feeder mice, they're literally bred in captivity, hand raised, and exist solely to be fed to predator species like various snapper turtles, monitors, ferrets, snakes, etc...
>>343482280

C-CUTE!
>>343476839
Nah, the feet look like shit, but the face, particularly the teeth/mouth and eyes almost fool me into thinking that's a real object.
>>343482358
Some get lucky and are kept to be breeders, others get euthanized before being fed at the very least. I think the worst would be being a feeder mouse and sent to a snake. A lot of exotic snake owners favor constrictors which can be long drawn out deaths.
Turtles usually drown the mouse or rip them apart, frogs eat them whole, so do a lot of lizards and reptiles.
>>343480891
DELETE THIS
>>343481374
Some Birds eat shit whole too. The only difference is there's no pet trade for carnivorous birds.
>>343480905
Yeah they should really avoid this. I'd like to see another Indominus Rex at some point, maybe as a one-off boss in JW3 or something, but JW2 should definitely stick to real dinosaurs (they won't).
>>343482581
I have a python who takes live rats, but they die very quickly at least. Not that it makes me feel any better about doing it. The people who record their snake feedings are sadistic.
This one's a real gem! They should make another one with the same formula
>>343482867
Define quick, anon. From what I know, its usually cardiac arrest that kills the mouse from the pressure that their little hearts can't keep up with as the snake smothers them.
>>343482358
To be fair Mice are like the bottom of the food chain die in like a year from their hearts giving out.
If you don't cry while listening to this you don't know SHIT about paleontology

Its pretty neat. There's nothing wrong with it.
>>343478398
there was also a gameboy advance game
>>343482893
I played the GBA version, or a GBA game that was like this, ages ago. Was some solid fun. The hurricanes transporting dinos between exhibits was pretty amusing.
>>343483050
It's a shame, rats live for like 21 months but they're very friendly, cute and smart. Would make an excellent pet.
>>343480905
Originally, it was going to be more extreme for Jurassic World.

Fuck Dinosaurs.
See that T-rex? You can hunt it.
>>343483246
disgusting
>>343483331
Monster Hunter creatures really are just super stylized dinosaurs with some dragons and sea monsters thrown in. And some big cats IIRC?
>>343482960
That's how it happens, yeah, but the pressure of constriction is so great that cardiac arrest occurs within a couple seconds.

A snake eating a rat and being the kind of guy who collects snakes in shoebox sized containers so he can watch them eat other animals are entirely different things.
>>343480548
People just think big reptiles when they hear Dinosaur, nobody cares about the hip bone thing. For the purpose of being big and awesome you can't help but love Elasmosaur.
>>343483412
No cats. But there's a pretty creepy-looking Sphinx.
Who /indominus/ here?
>>343483804
Pretty shitty fantasy monster. Glad to see it rekt by actual dinosaurs like Blue and you know who.
>>343483804
Has anyone made a cold steel edit using it yet?
>>343478926
I didn't knew you could unlock a Triceratops for that battle mode until recent times.

>>343483804
He got shitwrecked in one bite by the unaltered Marine Reptile. Take that science.
Granted it was bigger than it would have been in real life.

Yeah. Like ten times bigger.

I don't like rodents. Even hearing their panic shrieks doesn't really do anything for me. Feeder mice are okay in the sense their clean compared to wild ones, but their still rodents.
>>343483895
>actual
The movie explains all the dinos are genetically altered specifically to entertain people, so they aren't real even by the movie's own reality. The I-rex is still shit though, glad it got fucked up.
>>343484151
Rats are mammals which means they have a corpus callum, so unlike your shitty reptiles they can, you know, feel emotions.
>>343484193
Some dinos are more dino than other dino
>>343483895
You didn't like it? I liked how it had a more conservative look despite being a genetically engineered monster. I mean, appearance-wise, it was just a t-rex and raptor genetically fused together, with some latent abilities from other animals. It would have been fucking gay had it been a full cold-steel Dino-Crisis 3 super electro dinobeast.
Indominus was based. Honestly, the only thing that could have made JW better is if Indominus at some point in the movie had to fight a spinosaurus and raped it in battle just to up its power level.
>>343484032
Lad the biggest marine reptiles were about T-Rex sized.
>>343484282
>muh mammalian kinship
Explain monitors being able to recognize different people and interact with them accordingly.
>>343484312
>Lad the biggest marine reptiles were about T-Rex sized.
He'd still be correct then considering the side of that thing was bigger than the I-rex.
>>343481374

Food.
Reptilefags are the fucking worst. Your pets are just mindless monsters that want to be fed, not your friends. Get a fucking dog.
>>343484312
From a meta perspective it was great, dinosaurs means nothing to kids nowadays with their fucking internet and video games so they have to spice it up.
In-universe it was really contrived to see them breed a super-powered dinosaur and have like one guy watching it. At least the OG Jurassic Park can be excused because dinosaurs are really just really fucking stupid animals and you'd need a complete asshat to shut down the systems, but they don't even fucking know what the I-rex can do.
>>343484546
>Food.
Wrong.

Not even.
