Why are there no cool dinosaur games anymore? What happened?

all the dinosaurs grew feathers and feathers are gay

>>713110932 (OP)
show me spinosaurus

We found out that they actually had feathers and looked gay. It's OVER for dinosaur fags.

They're just big chickens oh no no no no dinofags!!

>>713110932 (OP)
>eagle is among the best animal alive
>has feathers
>giant killer birds once ruled earth
>they had feathers
But for some reason they're "gay" and "it's OVER for dionaur [fans]"
Sounds like you're just salty that trains, hot wheels, and construction equipment isn't cool anymore

>>713115219
no one thinks eagles are cool except autistic germoids

Because most of their lore is incoherent nonsense to better sell old earth

>>713115274

>>713110932 (OP)
There is a really cool concept via dino-sim survival games that competent devs aren't taking advantage of, and I don't know why. It could be a literal money-printer and the next big trending genre for survival games but for some reason they only devs tackling this are either early-access scam artists or literal fresh-out-of game design college majors who don't have the money or the career experiencer to make a competent game.

>>713115398
did I stutter?

>>713115219
Nobody told us eagles where featherless for 70 years then turned around and went "whoops our mistake". The real dinosaur just simply as cool as what they thought they were. The optics are fucked and irreparable. Feathered Dino's will never ever be considered better than featherless

>>713115274
>>713115495
They took it from the romans
also that first image is french
in fact I think every culture on earth venerates eagles. Aztecs?

>>713115548
it's autistic eurasian steppenigs all the way down bud

>>713115515
Nah they still look heckin cool bro
>>713115605
If you're going to call Aztecs "autistic eurasian steppenigs" idk what to tell you. I think the word you mean is "Humans" which yeah that's what I'm talking about. Humans regard the feathered eagle as one of if not the king of all animals

>>713110932 (OP)
>hahaha NIGERsaurus get it because if you add 1 more g it becomes le edgy word!

>>713115515
Uh chud, real dinosaurs had feathers and were giant chickens, okay??!

>>713115469
What do you do in this game besides killing other dinos?

>>713115715
it's ok, you're allowed to type NIGGER here sweaty :))

The perception of dinosaurs has changed and people lost interest in the mysticism surrounding animals that existed so long ago, that actually thinking about the passage of time and conditions of the Earth would leave you speechless. Its not whatever meme argument people believe its just simple disinterest. They aren't shown as believable animals anymore, just cheap gimmick monsters or superheroes thanks to the Jurassic World movies. Even King Kong 2005 managed to show dinosaurs as animals, the old JP movies did that too. But now? They roar, pose, attack everything irrationally, have no weight to their movement, are done in horribly jeet tier CGI and don't even look cool.

>Yes goy! These dragons bones are heckin' oversized chickens! Yeeeeees... you did evolve from a pile of goo assembled by stardust!

>>713110932 (OP)
We never had a good dinosaur game ever.

>>713110932 (OP)
So why is ark not a cool dinosaur game?

>>713115853
That's the problem, the devs can't think of anything else besides killing other player dinosaurs because they're either amateur or incompetent.

The Isle for example, has a genius idea for a gameplay loop (playable dinos vs playable humans fighting for resources, territories and dominance over an island,) but because the devs are scamming retards who still haven't implemented humans or a proper endgame gameplay loop over its 10-year early access development cycle, we're still stuck in this lame rut where it's just just a pvp deathmatch sandbox with shit combat and even shittier optimization.

>>713116175
because of vin diesel

>>713110932 (OP)
Dinos are only cool if their reptilian beasts, basically one step down from dragons.

Also anybody feel the feather shit feels overly unjustified? It feels like a combo of intellectual masturbation of getting with the times while simultaneous trying to take away something cool.

>>713116060
You are wrong

>>713116708
Dragons are real, dinosaurs are an athiest demoralization op. Did you realize that dinosaurs only exist due to the Rockerfellers and werent even a concept pre 1826?

>>713117096
Can this game entertain me as an adult, or is it kidslop?

>>713117680
Do you just call everything you don't like slop?

>>713118025
Can you just answer the question?

>>713118060
The "I'll take that as a yes" was right there. You are a fucking retard.

>>713118209
Ok. Shan't be playing Fossil Fighters since you're so needlessly rude.

>>713110932 (OP)
dinosaurs have feathers and look like giant chicken now which is super gay

>>713118274
I'm not that guy dipshit.

Is this the thread?

Dinosaurs only eat and die by meteorites; there are not many gameplay options for that.

>>713118725
Just make shit up then.

i like beasts of bermuda. the only problem is the community made out of either chinese hackers or unironic skirt wearing troons

>be kid
>dinos are cool
>present day
anyone else?

>>713118496
Still not playing Fossil Fighters, shitfuck

>>713118956
Beasts of Bermuda would've been the best dino survival game by a landslide if the shitty graphics, animations, optimization, infinite growth and chinese hackers didn't run it into the ground. It's the only one with actual mechanics and a proper gameplay loop.

People lost interest in dinos when science made them giant chickens.

>>713119131
That was an absolute psyop.
>Hm, everyone loves dinos, let's see if we can use the blind trust in THE SCIENCE to turn them lame and unpopular.
And it fucking worked. Human beings are cattle.

trying to make a dinosaur thread is the moment you realize /an/ is one of the boards with the worst users in the site

>>713115469
Wasting my time with both this and The Isle has always been one of my greatest regrets but there is literally nothing else that even comes close to scratching that itch

Don't really know what to think with this, just looks like they're going for more woman pandering rather than actual game mechanics that would allow it to surpass JPOG once and for all
I bet the babies can't even die

>>713121309
I can just play OG on my PS2 or emulate it. You don't need 3 sequels worth of inferior games.

>>713119470
/an/ used to be one of the best boards on the site 5-ish years ago, it just became dogshit because the website as a whole is infested with zoomers and browns

>>713122208
It barely has moderation or posters. Hell the hacks proved /tg/ has 100x more mods than /an/ does despite both boards being kinda slow. It also attracts deranged schizos like all the pitbull arguments, featherfaggots or worse, zoophiles.

>>713122495
>Hell the hacks proved /tg/ has 100x more mods than /an/ does
To no one's surprise considering how spastic the /tg/ mods are, they're one of the few ones who actually ban you for saying nigger

There have been about 3 debateably good dinosaur games ever.

>>713110932 (OP)
Because for some dumbass reason corporate-types figured dinosaurs are 'so like, 90's and icky' so instead we're stuck with endless 'vaguely futuristic anticapitalist' games instead.
But hey if you ever want to play 1998's Jurassic Park Trespasser, there's a new mod that uncuts a bunch of crap.
https://www.moddb.com/mods/zeno-trespasser-fanbuilds

>>713126754
are those not still largely accurate?

>>713130689
I love schizophrenia like this because 90s styled dinosaurs are the only ones that keep appearing in games

>>713131058
>90's styled dinosaurs keep appearing in games
That'd only be possible IF dinosaur games kept getting made, but there are no dinosaur games, so therefore 90's styled dinosaurs cannot be in games anymore.

>>713130885
>acquatic lizard has crocodile scutes for some reason
>plesiosaur has wobbly tentacle neck
No

>>713131136
A new dinosaur game is being made right now centered around Jurassic Park's 90s lizards designs

>>713131387
Except nobody gives a shit about it because it's going to be dogshit like all modern dinosaur games.
JW Evolution is up to it's third iteration of game just to even come close to the fucking JP:OG game.
People hate dinosaur games because 'dinosaur game' is just corporate-speak for 'low effort cashgrab'.

>>713131516
Nobody gives a shit about the most popular dinosaur game on the market?

>>713131564
Not really?
Hence nobody except for a couple of mega-dickriders caring about it?

>>713131653
The numbers don't lie, it's the most popular dinosaur game around

Archeology was considered a niche hobby until the 1800s. It didn't professionalize and become a serious study until then

>>713131845
Unless the new JWE game fixes literally EVERYTHING wrong with the games' very core it will not be worth it even one bit, dinosaur breeding is just eyecandy shit and from what they described it's not even natural

I actually had a dream about feathered (quill) raptors and it was scary as shit.
Not sure why people think feathered dinos would be lame
You'd shit your pants if chickens were 5'8 feet tall and tried to peck you alive

I would die but still call them retards while they kill me. Cope.

Well of course, a featherless eagle is just caveman dinner

>>713131845
I mean you still have Trespasser, the only time anybody bothered to write interesting lore in the Jurassic Park universe since the first film/novel.
I mean it's a pretty fucking badass title too, the 'digital sequel to The Lost World'. Slaps hard.

Who's here has played JP:OG?

Raise your flippers

>>713133197
I played the PS2 version, which for some stupid reason is the best version as it has shadows enabled.

Dont get into ark survival, worst mistake of my life

>>713133776
Ark is fine if you turbo-mod it into a singleplayer-experience game.
Which basically just means cutting the time-cost of everything down by about a factor of 100 or more.

>>713133776
explain

>>713133776
I went into a near 24/7 52-60 pop server as a solo and spent about 6-14 hours a day there for 18 months.
This was in say 2016-2018.
Best online MP experience of my life. It was incredibly hard because the Beta tribe of 15 KOS and imprisoned everyone but the Alpha and specific individual allies. Alpha was responsible for cross server offense and defense and used the server itself as base and farming, Beta basically acted like a gang and did a poor job of server defense when the time was needed. Too busy dropping berrypickers in the glitch hole.
Theres way too much to talk about, I did end up destroying the Beta tribe by myself one night, though only 3 were online when I began and 8 were online when I finished. The 2 leaders were cousins, fist fought IRL over it, and tribe disintegrated. I took their place by myself, and this was only 8 months into my time. Towards the end of my playtime they started introducing the weird evolution or mutation or something and then just after that ANOTHER kind of weird ass gimmick map or something. The Dinos were alreadt way fucking powercrept just on the Island.

>>713115680

Dinosaurs are birds with a very simple brain.

Dinos roamed around like 6+ thousand years ago, alongside man, and aint a one of them evolved into or from anything

people started saying that dinosaurs were actually just big chickens and suddenly they were way less cool

Not him but Ark has a specific associated mental illness that you get infected by if you get into the PvP aspect. People who start playing that turn into those miserable addicts who play it 18 hours a day and never shut up about how awful it is while racking up 10,000 hours of played time. Kinda like DOTA

From what I understand, they realized that there were consistent patterns on the fossils surrounding the bones that were previously thought to just be nonsense data, the pattern of stratification, and so on. But eventually they noticed that these patterns were fairly regular and decided that the only thing that could make such regular patterns is feathers.

Is that true? Dunno, I'm not an insider archeologist. But even if they did have feathers, most of them had pretty small feathers, almost like fur, and even then not everywhere.

>>713139832
>>713116037
btw the Big Bang theory was made by a hardcore Christian trying to figure out how everything got set into motion by God, so it's funny to see it being the main theory of atheists today. I bet that dude would be pissed if he knew.

>>713115515
>Nobody told us eagles where featherless for 70 years then turned around and went "whoops our mistake".
Eagles have existed alongside man since man first stood upright. Dinosaurs are bones and other fossils in the ground. It's called learning, understanding, and extrapolating as we discover new materials that show us we were wrong before we had the new evidence.Your kind are like the people who still believe Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny are real even after you watched your parents put the presents under the tree and hide the eggs.

>>713116037
>>Yes goy! These dragons bones are heckin' oversized chickens!
False
>Yeeeeees... you did evolve from a pile of goo assembled by stardust!
True

Just who are the people trying to make dinosaurs pathetic and stupid looking? I learned last week that apparently Spinosaurus is one of the only uber locked pages on Wikipedo because of these demons

>>713139610
>people started saying that dinosaurs were actually just big chickens and suddenly they were way less cool
Sure if you listen to pop-sci youtube shit. Meanwhile in reality a tiny subset, less than 0.1% of known dinosaurs, had feathers. But of course don't let the clueless fucktards on /v/ know that, the ones who espouse how amazing dinosaurs "were" but are also so clueless on the subject they can't go a single sentence without sounding like a fucking retard

We need to gas everyone who uses this site, I'm willing to make the sacrifice.

We talking about the movie where a Tyrannosaurus Rex continues attacking and eating a car after it figures out it's not food and wastes time and energy trying desperately to eat a kid because animals and monsters in fiction think humans are the tastiest things to exist? And let's not even get into how the "Velociraptors" are too big, mindlessly vicious and murderous, and are smarter than humans.

>>713140091
Of course I do, God doesn't exist. Like all the other gods he was created by man, with everything in the Bible taken from other religions and cleaned up for Christian sensibilities.

>>713140790
you probably have good reasons for not buying into Christianity but that doesn't necessarily mean there is no greater or higher power

>>713110932 (OP)
dinosaurs are just dragons.

>>713132670
It's basically the breeding mechanic from planet zoo. Despite that, fucking game will still force you to go fossil digging and making your dinos with the fucking scientists instead of buying and breading them.

I honestly don't understand the hatred for the Scientist system in Evo 2. It's park management, it requires thinking, and you can easily mix and match them for the required tasks. I thought these are things people wanted in their management games.

you don't have to buy into any Abrahamic faith (Christianity, Islam, Judaism) to know there's something more. All of them are at least partly nonsense, given that they're all about 2000 years old and humans almost exactly like us have existed longer than that.

So either they're totally bullshit, or they're corrupted retellings of past truths.

It's amazing how people are so angry over dinosaurs being portrayed as the animals they are instead of the Hollywood monsters on the TV screen they've been portrayed as for the last hundred years.

>>713143373
but all modern media still portrays them as 90s hollywood monsters

>>713143448
>all modern media
Only Hollywood and other filmmakers.

>>713143090
Yeah, kinda. Ball lightning is still a mystery, thought to be a myth until recently objectively recorded and still not understood. But no doubt we'll figure that out before long, same as everything else. How it works, and all that.

But as for why, that's a much more difficult question.

>>713143448
Consider it a form a cultural relativity. Back in their day, they were pretty scary. These days, feathered things are birds, who are pretty weak and unimpressive overall, aside from a few of them.

>>713144035
It simply does. Humans are so arrogant that they think everything happens revolved around us, and that we were created as the special favorites of some being who will make our existences perfection.

>>713144204
>It simply does
That's a weak explanation and you know it. Yeah, of course shit happens whether we're there or not, or whether we understand it or not. But why?

Dinosaurs are overdone. The best part of Peter Jackson's King Kong was when the cast was being attacked by random wildlife on the island so give us more Carboniferous kino.

>>713144292
Why is it weak? Does everything need to be micro-managed by some being we made up to take comfort in? Which of the thousands of gods are the ones we should be worshiping?

>>713144615
It's not about the gods, brother. It's a simple recognition that there is more than the physical.

>>713110932 (OP)
Did you know China has officially discovered 50 species of feathered dinosaurs since 1996, while other countries with skin in the game have only discovered maybe 1 or 2?
Weird how they started finding them right after Jurassic Park got popular and interest in paleontology went up.

Just something to think about.

You mean how God in all His glory made cool giant lizards for us or how nephlim showed us how to make our own monsters?

I'm just hoping that, after having to wait for a DLC to get them back and Ankylodocus getting an awesome redesign, that at least it and Spinoraptor are in 3's base game. They did say that canon species and fan favorites are getting top priority

Agreed, remove all the extra plates, the spikes, and the smaller horns, and merge the animals together more completely.

>>713143373
Jurassic Park has always portrayed them as animals, though.
Or do you think animals can't be beastly and monstrous, especially ones from a brutal time?

I was encountered a mountain lion, in a cave on top of some rocky hills, while I was looking for a place to hide from the storm with my friends. We made eye contact and I think there was mutual understanding.

it said, "you can come in here if you're up for some violence" but I thought there was a better way so I didn't tell my friends about that cave and we kept rapidly descending the mountain

This, I hate the argument that portraying them "as animals" means they need to act like capybaras that are just, like, chill all the time, man.

That last point isn't valid - the raptors were explicitly noted in the film and book that they didn't have proper parents so they all grew up to be psychopaths. Also, if I recall, the T-Rex destroyed the car cause it didn't know what it was and took it as an intruder or challenger in it's territory.

Also, wild animals never turn down an easy meal, which the kids basically were in that sequence.

Looks to me like all you'd have to do is just wait a second until it snaps its ankles under its own weight with toothpick legs like that.

>the raptors were explicitly noted in the film and book that they didn't have proper parents so they all grew up to be psychopaths
This is actually happening in the world today.

People keep killing adult male elephants to use their tusks for various things, but this leaves the young males without role models so they start becoming more aggressive and causing more problems, both for themselves and others, because they never had any good male role models. Not even joking.

>>713147029
Ever seen a wet dog or cat's legs? They're fucking tiny, but there's still a lot of power in them.

Humans went for a different approach.

>>713147143
Except cats and dogs aren't colossal theropods.

>>713146702
ok but what if his whole body was covered in bisexual feathers and his head had a big red snoot

>>713147207
They have muscles that are small yet strong and very responsive. We have a mix of those, with other muscles that are slower and more controlled. This is why we can use tools.

>>713147271
Except we aren't colossal theropods.

i enjoy watching dudes stream The Isle but that game is jank as fuck

>>713147296
The biological mechanications don't change

>>713147073
Yea, this just reinforces the point; almost every dinosaur in the park was a psychopath because they were too busy cloning and sending the dinosaurs out to actually study or raise them even remotely properly or even try too.

Also that's pretty tragic.

>>713142820
agnosticfag here, what helps me reconcile this when considering Abrahamic faiths is the idea that by calling God omniscient refers to knowing all that is knowable; that is, he has given humans free will and thus cannot know what they will do. This also solves some (but not all) of the arguments of a tyrannical deity against these beliefs

>>713147340
Except all colossal theropods have the same appropriately-proportioned set of legs to carry their weight, except for Spinosaurus, whose family members also have the same appropriately proportioned set of legs, except for it.

Were any of the Dinotopia games any good? I remember seeing the miniseries, maybe reading a book or two, as a kid and thinking it was a pretty cool setting, but I remember very little about it.

>>713133776

I also feel that the identity of Ark is dying (and I don't mean that in the "remember when this was a dinosaur game" way) due to shit like Bobs tall tales, f*ntasticc t*mes, the animated series, both versions getting seperate canon maps because Snail just had to milk evolved even after killing official support, Helena being raceswapped in Acended and animated, a skill tree (that's universal while still matching the aesthetic of Lost Colony), fucking dark tek, cats just pulling bowls of milk and litterboxes out of thin air and probably more.

It's a shame these games never got remade/remastered

I'm waiting for this FP survival horror game. The gameplay stills look really cool. Every game published by Annapurna that I've played has been fantastic, so this seems promising as well.

>>713152868
>no release date at all
>trailer is 2 years old
hmmmmmmmmmm

>>713153048
There's always many more games to play. I only found out about it semi-recently, so it's not like I've been waiting all that time. I looked through Annapurna's catalogue after playing Lorelei and the Laser Eyes, and it seems that there are a lot of upcoming games without release dates.

Casually dropped the best Rex design and fucked off forever.

>>713155293
spinosaurus is going to look weird because it had really short legs and it was long. it's just a weird one

>>713117680
It's a kids game at heart but I found it fun as a 20-something year old. If you enjoy pokemon then this is fine.

why did people stop inventing new Dinosaurs?

>>713154326
yeah but I've never killed a dinosaur with a knife

nobody is that cool

>>713132034
yeah, the argument, a weak one, for tyrannosaurus rex, and its close relatives like tarbosaurus, daspletosaurus, the other tyrannosaurs of the late cretaceous, is from yutyrannus. it's an early cretaceous tyrannosauroid, a superfamily that covers a lot of time into the early jurassic. yutyrannus was from about 125 million years ago and could get to maybe 1.5 tons. that's nearly 60 million years of separation and a drastically lower weight compared to the 8+ a tyrannosaurus rex could get to. feathers are just going to overheat something that big.

there's plenty of scale evidence on tarbosaurus, gorgosaurus, daspletosaurus,albertosaurus and tyrannosaurus rex but since there isn't a complete skin cast people will still push feathers on those dinosaurs.

the largest coelurosaur that probably had feathers is therizinosaurus but there's no actual evidence of it. it was a maniraptora and the name gives away that it's more related to birds but it also has no actual evidence of feathering on its own. it had basal relatives with feathers and practically every maniraptora that shows skin impressions shows evidence of feathering so it's more likely. its size probably meant it had to have reduced feathering compared to its very small relatives because it would still get to around 5 tons. it wasn't a typical large theropod predator and its climate was a good bit colder than late cretaceous laramidia so it may have been able to better handle feathers

>>713159362
oh yeah i forgot to mention that therizinosaurus is really fragmentary and a lot of its depictions are based on relatives because all they have are the arms, ribs and legs so it's really leaning hard on its related specimens for how its portrayed

paraworld is a great game if you like warcraft 3 or age of mythology

I miss prehistoric anachronistic pulp. Stuff like Turok or Tarzan.

>>713159362
>and its close relatives like tarbosaurus, daspletosaurus, the other tyrannosaurs of the late cretaceous, is from yutyrannus. it's an early cretaceous tyrannosauroid, a superfamily that covers a lot of time into the early jurassic. yutyrannus was from about 125 million years ago and
You're talking to an audience that doesn't know any of this. I get that this is a cool history fact, but I'm going to forget this, especially since your point starts with how they were 1.5 tons.
A nitpick, I appreciate that you're an actual authority on the matter but make your points concise/to the point.

If you resurrected a dino it would immediately choke to death cause there's not enough oxygen in the atmosphere

>>713159362
Yutyrannus most likely was only slightly smaller than Albertosaurus/Gorgosaurus.
Thing is, being feathered is the basal condition of the group. So if larger animals lost their coat, they still would have retained sparse covering (like elephants today)
But scaliefags are adamant that it can't be possible for ??? reasons ???

That's Path of Titans, The Isle is the "walk around for 5 hours while nothing happens until you get stuck in the terrain and die"

>>713155293
The legs are too far back and too short compared to how long the body is. I feel even with the length and width of the tail it has an impossible center of gravity for it to be bipedal.

>>713166225
I have definitely seen the larping in The Isle. Herbivore players are degenerates that have sexualized the herd mechanics and carnivore players just want to treat the game like Day Z and Tarkov.

>>713166337
From what i've seen in all of my wasted hours on the game degenerate furry ERPs are mostly gone in the new build compared to the old one where the docks area would always, without fail, be populated by some faggoty discord group playing velociraptorss and sitting around all day and RP
All herbivores i see nowadays don't even type in chat and just instakill everything since they're the strongest dinosaurs in the game right now
