dinosaurs are too based for nu-vidya desu

i just want far-cry with dinosaurs

After primal I wouldn't be too sure.

People figured out that dinosaurs can't carry a game. Even one with non-human threats as the main enemy would require human antagonists to stay engaging. You need conflict with emotional if not philosophical stakes. That can't happen without human-like intelligence on either side.

Didn't play that one, what were it's shortcomings? Honestly I'm just looking for Carnivores with a story.

They went extinct, I guess.

Vrex chase sequences on ps2 king Kong are still my best experience with dinosaurs in videogames

Primal was great if you played with all the difficulty stuff maxed out. Needing to find food, limited fast travel, most HUD/handholding elements removed, caveman language, it was a better experience than 4.

Doesn't sound all too hard
Maybe something like a JP game where you play an escaped dinosaur. The game wastes no time telling you why the humans are "da bad guys." Only that they're hurting you and you want to stay away from them. Then again, trying to come up with an set objective that'll carry weight gameplay wise might be a challenge.

i'm guessing it's because
>muh animal cruelty
>muh feather inaccuracy
>muh scientific accuracy in general
>not serious enough for mature political games
>can just make a zombie game instead
it's a shame

Extinct. This should have been the first post, you all disappoint me greatly

The real question is, why did all the good dinosaurs go?

I want a game about capturing dinosaurs more than one about surviving them.

featherfags need to die

The way of the dinosaur

Saurian

I can't think of a really good game with dinosaurs...and i love dinosaurs :(

Play jurassic world alive. Pokémon go but with rad dinos and 5 times better.

Dino Crisis 3 killed them all

scientist ruined dinosaurs by not leaving well enough alone, there's nothing cool about giant chickens

Is Jurassic Park Evolution good?
I've only heard people talking about big discounts for it.

It's okay, but it lacks in personalization, which is a big no-no for me in a park sim.

When the fuck have there been good Dinosaur games? Aside from Turok but it was primarily a shooter first, Dinosaurs later.

all birds are dinosaurs but not all dinosaurs are birds you uneducated mongoloid

Hey, Sarchosuchus gets love

birds and lizards both descended from what we think of as "dinosaurs". Some of them still exist, like crocodiles/alligators.

Has some stuff for the feather fags too

Was it the case for all dinosaurs? And it probably wasn't feathers exactly like modern birds either.

Doesn't ARK have dinos?

Crocs and gators descended from a separate clade: crocodilians lived alongside the dinosaurs, and developed prior to their Triassic debut.

Mostly on therapods like late Coeluerosaurians and dromeosaurids

ARK's too busy chasing the chinese dollar with their fucking horrendous sci-fi trash with giant mechs, furry dragons that shoot icebreath and giant kaiju monster bosses.

Don't deliberately spread misinformation
Birds are the only surviving kind of dinosaur, crocodiles are related to dinosaurs, but not considered dinosaurs. Lizards aren't closely related to dinosaurs, nor descended from them.

Crocodiles are more closely related to birds than they are to lizards.

Because dinosaurs take too much work for modern devs.
It's challenging to model and animate a single dinosaur species let alone multiple.
They would much rather just make another zombie game because both the skeleton and animations are easier to make.

>T-Rex is closer to today than it is to Stegosaurus

The sheer length of the Mesozoic Era is mind-boggling.

Honestly though how many zombie games are actually in vogue right now?

The Isle is a good dinosaur survival simulation game where you play as a juvenile dinosaur trying to grow into adulthod and form packs with other players. It's pretty popular on twitch right now.

The isle is a good game. Ark isn't.

Not if you like collecting/and fighting dinos. It's a long term grind no doubt but it's a comfy mobile game with a great Dev team and genuinely fun combat

it's still pretty interesting that like 99% of all genetic variation in earth's life is located in the bacteria and archaea
eukaryotes are pretty inbred overall

ARK ITS ALL YOU NEED

That's what you get with vertical gene transfer only.

That might be the derpiest carnivore I've ever seen

at least humans could kick up the eukaryote genetic variation into overdrive
if we ever get those bans on genetic research lifted

Spinochads ftw

Why so many carnivore dinosaurs have bony structures in front or above of their eyes? Did it prevent sun getting in their eyes and made them see better?

Fuck man I want more dinosaur games. I really liked Jurassic Park: Operation Genesis all these years ago. The only good recent dino game was essentially it's reboot, Jurassic World.

The problem with Primal was it was one of their quick asset flip spinoffs they do after ever numbered game rather than a numbered full game itself

but there's no good zombie games coming out either

How are those new hind limbs working out for ya?

in some cases it was for mating dislays or possibly intraspecies fighting and in some theropods, probably to protect the eyes when feeding on large carcasses

This is a fantasy dinosaur and not something that actually existed, right?

Spinochads stand on two limbs.
