Exploration is ill-advised.
Video games are an odd spot where Jurassic Park has a lot of tie-in stuff it otherwise doesn't get. I even remember playing a supposed educational game at school where a robot's exploring the island trying not to get smashed by dinosaurs. (it was a trial-and-error platformer)

And of course, some of the games have been basically a Zoo Tycoon game with dinosaurs, where breakouts are a possibility.

Jurassic Park is something you ought to be able to make a good game around easily, and the results have been underwhelming. Way back when they should have made something that looked and played a lot like Half Life that takes place during the first movie. Or they could go for a more survival horror type of game. It could be so easy but I think they gave up after Trespasser.

I sorta understand the idea of making a bigger and scarier dinosaur as a themepark attraction, but why on earth would you give something you expect people to spend large sums of money to see, the ability to turn invisible.

because the big I-rex was a ruse. It was basically a prototype for war dinos

Everyone should play DUKE games.

:dukedog:
The early games all had Euro-gaming jank all over them but several were still pretty good despite that, but it is a shame that Trespasser killed it. I mean even Ocean got a few good Jurassic Park games out and they were legitimately known as a dogshit licensed game wunderkind like LJN.

But I think in general folks don't want to just own it. Like remember Turok: Dinosaur Hunter? They made a reboot game of that for the PS3 and 360 and it a game where....you play as a bald space marine and spend most of the game shooting other bald space marines. Like even something as simple as "it's an FPS with tons of dinosaurs" is elusive to the developers of today. :(

Activision put out an unofficial game called Jurassic: The Hunted a few years ago but it's pretty bad.

Are You Afraid of the Dark movie coming from Paramount

quote:

Paramount Players is moving forward with an adaptation of the classic Nickelodeon show “Are You Afraid of the Dark” as a feature film and set “It” scribe Gary Dauberman to write the script.

Matt Kaplan is producing along with Dauberman.

...

Paramount Players is a new division at Paramount Pictures that is led by Awesomeness founder Brian Robbins and focuses on contemporary talent and properties for young audiences while drawing upon the vast resources of the Viacom brands. Nickelodeon is one of those Viacom brands and is already developing a “Dora the Explorer” pic through Paramount Players with Michael Bay’s Platinum Dunes producing.

Probably the closest thing we've had since then was Lego Jurassic World.

They don't do regular tie-in video games anymore, which is probably just as well since they were almost exclusively garbage, but does mean we miss out on what might otherwise be fun ideas for games that don't involve bald space marines shooting each other.

I liked the Telltale game for the first few episodes (as long as you're cool with the "gameplay" style) up until they switched writers, after which it got real dumb. A side-quel was a great idea, especially one focusing on Dr. Harding. Execution wavered.

I remember the Jurassic park Genesis game had a sequel that I remember being pretty good, but I was also 14. It was a platformer and you could play as a raptor.

I played that game at PAX back when it was new and could never get into it. I've been able to enjoy newer efforts from them I've considered going back and giving it another try, then I remember how I bought the Back to The Future game earlier this year and it didn't inspire me.

I'm guessing "teens who grew up on the show when they were toddlers and outgrew it but still has nostalgia for it somehow". Kinda like that Fairly Oddparents live action movie that had a 23 year old Timmy Turner.

During the long period between JP3 and JW there was some idea of doing ‘dinosaurs as weapons’ which kinda made it into JW. But in this case the concept art had them as like weird human-Dino hybrids with guns. I can’t imagine that idea went far.

I mean all that poo poo about the mystery DNA in the Verizon Wireless Presents The Indominus Rex really felt like they were leading to it being human DNA, and just did a last minute replace on it.

The original movie was basically teasing the idea that finally came to fruition in Jurassic World of a functioning theme park with living dinosaurs, all the more higher stakes for the dinosaurs to get loose in. (though the payoff really wasn't that different in the end)

InGen attempts to create human clones of long dead actors for PR purposes, before they can perfect the technology immperfect dinosaur mutant clones escape and terrorize the public. Chris Pratt warily touches a cryogenic tube with a mutated Chris Prattosaur in disgusted shock, before getting ambushed by a Hammondactyl screaming "let me die!"

The scene ends before he can be shown escaping, and for the rest of the film all of his scenes feature a strange, one might say uncanny Chris Pratt

At some point during the climax, some character sacrifices themselves for the good of the rest and is left for dead.

Mid-credit scene reveals that the character didn't die, but is holed up somewhere in the compound, petty weapon in hand, terrified because there's a super-intelligent dino-hybrid about to come through the door. The door opens, we zoom in on the character, now no longer horrified, but shocked. With what little life he has left, he asks simply, "...How?"

Camera traces up the figure, from feet to head, slowly revealing the face of Richard Attenborough, who answers, "Life finds a way." Smash cut to credit roll.

That idea actually got as far as a second-draft script written by I think William Monahan and John Sayles; the dino hybrids were used for things like law enforcement. I remember reading a review of it on AICN ages ago.
