Why Dinosaur Games Are Doomed

1UP: By and large, dinosaurs games suck. It doesn't make a lot of sense. Every three year old knows dinosaurs are the coolest things ever to walk the planet. Games revolving around them should, by extension, be just as cool. And yet, in most every case where the two are mated, the results are less "Jurassic Park" and more "Carnosaur."

If Capcom make Dino crisis new game or even old with HD and it wount suck.

limewax4667d ago

I actually think a Dino game would make a great title for an FPS crowded gen. Maybe not Dino Crisis even though they are great, but something different.

Think Amnesia the dark descent. That style of survival horror but in a dino game, No weapons. Just stealth, cunning and fast feet. Open world island with day night cycle. Survive until help arrives (ala dead rising lol) and play your way, hide and survive or solve the mystery.

That would be a dino game I would buy day one personally, I know its a like a mix of many different games, But I think it would feel 100% unique due to the style of play

A new Dino Crisis would make me so ridiculously happy.

Just imagine being chased down a narrow corridor by a T-Rex in HD graphics. Or being cornered by a group of velociraptors in HD graphics. *sigh* If only...

CrimsonEngage4667d ago

I'm pretty sure Turok was an awesome game.

CaptainSheep4667d ago

Yeah, I my friend got Turok from his... cousin-in-law... or whatever.. cousin's husband... He came to my house and showed to me. It looked pretty neat. xD

Laypoof4667d ago

The last good dinosaur game was Turok 2 on N64, and even that wasn't fully dinosaurish...

Bonobo123454667d ago (Edited 4667d ago )

Yeah Turok 1 and 2 were great games, Turok 2 was the most bloody and violent game I played in my youth and both had the best set of weapons ever

The new Turok was cool, but it didn't manage to keep the Turok essence.

PS1 did great dinos. Dino Crisis 2 was my fav game on the system. Even Tomb Raider did the T-rex just perfect... and tomb raider 2 and 3 - there was actually 2 T-rexs on the first level of TR 2! Its a pity you dont really get those secrets these days!

But its all zombies these days. Thinking about it there haven't been any decent dino cames since 2 gens ago. I had turok this gen but it wasn't great. It did dinos pretty well though.

With all the tech these days I'm really annoyed there haven't been more dino games. I mean imagine Just Cause 2s island infested with dinos! I can't believe there isn't an open world game with dinos. Please someone make one!

Turok: A Game Series in Need of a Reboot

The Turok series has been languishing without a new title for more than a decade. It's about time we got a reboot.

closed_account348d ago

I'm all for it, I loved the originals... I just don't think, just like w the original Prey, that the main character can survive in this current political climate. Native characters seem untouchable at the moment. I think it can be shown the right respect, but there's always someone getting upset about something these days, they would find a way to cancel it.

BriBri348d ago

I can't think of a game that's been cancelled because of the race of the main character.

Vits348d ago

Honestly, I would prefer if they just ported/remastered Turok 3: Shadow of Oblivion to modern platforms. So we could have access to the "original 3 games". Because I don't see how to really reboot Turok. It's a product of its time being a mixture of platforming/fps and puzzle.

And I really don't see all those elements being preserved on a Reboot.

potatoseal348d ago

I would prefer Dino Crisis remake from Capcom. Still, a remade Turok would get my attention.

FreeckyCake348d ago (Edited 348d ago )

Forgets about the 2008 reboot*
I'd rather have a sequel to Turok 3, tbh.

GoodGuy09348d ago (Edited 348d ago )

We unfortunately do not have enough quality dino games. Theres Horizon but they're robots, and Monster Hunter that I can only think of. I'd like to see Turok make a comeback some day.

Although the late 2000s Turok wasn't my favorite, I would love a new entry. Open world survival with shotguns and dinosaurs. Not sure how we'd get the fusion cannon, but that would be pretty sweet too.

MadLad600d ago

Lol

All of these games are pretty much universally praised. Outside of Timeshift I literally own all of these.

Venoxn4g599d ago (Edited 599d ago )

XIII, The Darkness 2, Far Cry: Blood Dragon, Timesplitters: future perfect, Bulletstorm are awesome games

I played them all, they are all good in their own way
I used to be obsessed with FPS games
