Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
Telltale's Jurassic Park: Hold on to your butts!

Not...really.
Gymnastics as Raptor combat. Prosecution rests.
Fortunately, saw it and III at a drive in. Seeing bad movies at a drive in? Always better.
Why was it ALWAYS raining? Was it in a rain forest or does rain just make a bad situation even worse?
The dinosaurs needed water to grow.

The best part of that game is the dinosaurs that bend over and shoot feces at you.
Of course, I was a big fan of the old Sega game. Playing the raptor, of course. Man, the way you could jump across the screen in that game.
Actually, I'm pretty amazed at how well the CGI bits in the first movie age. That's the true sign of love and attention to detail, I think.
Edit: Also, Vegan, that is totally the basis for a medieval monster. It was called the Bonnacon.

Yes, it's a reenactment (an awesome one from an awesome guy) because Youtube doesn't have the Goldblum original
Make the game full of writing like this and we'll be in business
That's actually my favorite part of the whole film, moreso than any of the scenes involving dinosaurs which is a bit odd

Also, did anyone else notice the screenshot of the Velociraptors? Shouldn't they have feathers and be smaller, or are these symptoms of the frog dna used in their creation? [/internerd]

(Yes, I am aware of other dromaeosaurs like deinonychus and utahraptor. No, their names are not as awesome as velociraptor.)
Those clever girls.

I really loved the hell out of the first Jurassic Park game for Genesis, although it was hard as hell. Without a code, I couldn't get past the river (as Grant) or the sewer (raptor). The raptor was so much fun though. I love that the plot of the raptor's game was that you were hunting for Grant, for some unexplained reason, even though you were constantly finding (and killing) other people along the way. What was wrong with them? Were they not good enough to eat?
Also, I remember ABCABCAB was a password in that game. As you may have guessed, I found that out by chance.
I want a new version of this! Most innovative game in recent years, imo.
Despite the bugs, it's still the best game made from a movie license ever, and outside of horror games, one of the most atmospheric games ever!
But any new version that isn't fan made will probably be dumbed down with a hud and simplified/automatic aim.
PS. Anyone in here read the Jurassic Park books? Both the first and second book? Holy fuck what a bunch of shit they are! First time ever a movie series is miles and miles better than the books.
The total lack of hud was something almost inspired at the time, for instance. Unfortunately, looking down onto your boobs to check your health was... less so.
It had its moments, though. I remember once that I emptied my last two rounds into a raptor and didn't stop it, but it also learned from the experience that when I pointed my gun at it, unpleasant things happened. I went the greater part of a level with that raptor tailing me and every once in a while getting too close for comfort, where I would then just point my empty gun at it and it would turn away and run off for a bit.
Anyway, this looks awesome. I'm a big fan of Telltale, but I'm glad to see them actually trying something different this time, both stylistically and in terms of gameplay. Remains to be seen how the Heavy Rain scheme will play out, but I have high hopes.
There's lots of spots of brilliance in the game, like trees turning into impostors at a distance, skeletal animation done on a bone level, interaction between your items and the world, etc. Just a shame a lot of them were half-baked or broken. But yeah, watching that LP of the game is probably the best way to experience the game since you're seeing the game as it was intended to play, rather than having to suffer the more-or-less mess it was.
This seriously makes me want to play that game.
Clearly you never read Jaws. The movie was 9,000x better. Also directed by Spielberg. Coincidence? Hell no!
Edit- Well, Jaws the Revenge the book was 50,000x better than the movie.
Yeah that guy is pretty ridiculous. Probably one of the best LPer I've ever heard. Where can I find his other stuff?
Switching gears, it's pretty easy to look at Trepasser's gameplay and claim it was terrible, but in retrospect, compared to the FPS of the day, which were bland and do not hold up well at all, as everyone was figuring out how to make an intense game with polygons, it wasn't as bad as it may seem.
That game could have been incredible with another six months of development.
I actually saw the first Jurassic Park in the 5 dollar bin the other day at Wal Mart. I should go back and get it.
They should make this game a prequel to JP1 and enlist the talents of the illustrious Wayne Knight in his role as Dennis Nedry. It would be the best.
A T Rex chasing me while driving the jeep better happen at some point too.
Damn, sometimes I hate Jeff Goldblum
FACT: It is impossible to hate Jeff Goldblum.
Interestingly, I think soon after the movie came out, Utahraptor was discovered, which almost legitimizes the size of the 'raptors in the movie.
I'm fairly certain the fact that the game takes place after JP1 is way more interesting.
Also,
I second this fact.
Could be! Honestly, it doesn't matter to me whether or not the movie is completely accurate...it's still a damn fine film regardless. And given the dinosaur movies that came previously it was heads and tails better researched. Largely because most of the dinosaur movies that came before were things like Caveman! :wink:
They must have been aware of the difference.
Actually, I thought the aviary scene in JP3 was fantastic, but it pains me because I have to sit through the rest of the damn movie to watch it.
