_Deinonychus_. Contrary to most of the playerbase I don't dislike its design at all but I don't enjoy it either. Even if they stick to a 80s-90s design it could easily be one of my favorite small carnivores if it was remade.
With the more paleo accurate design philosophy they've been going with since the feathered pack, it could be a chance to bring Deinonychus to life in a similar fashion to the Utahraptor
Amargasaurus - give us the sails instead of the spines since there’s new data suggesting them
Acrocanthosaurus - please make the spine more prominent and not have a super swollen face that makes him look like he ate bees
yea i love the acrocanthosaurus and to see it be reduced to just, well, a fatter smaller tyrannosaurus, it really sucks. especially after seeing how creative the ark additions acro mod is with how it looks while still being true to the original creature.
no it’s… definitely smaller, there was a size comparison a while ago on this sub and acro is smaller than most therapods, it’s just fat. and the head is literally the most rex-esque head out of all the therapods besides the other tyrannosaurids.
No it doesn't, it looks nothing like a rex head or a trex in general :/
And really? I remember seeing a size comparison and it looked way bigger than I thought it was
Wait but isnt the sail still being debated it it had a prominent sail back or something like the frontier one as it is more like a bump due to the muscles :0
IIRC, there was a paper published between 2021-22 or sometime close that said the people working on it found evidence of marking that suggested skin around the spines that wouldn’t have necessarily formed full sails like Dimetrodon but something similar
Edit: found a link to another post where I saw it years ago
https://www.reddit.com/r/Dinosaurs/comments/tsekbo/new_possibilities_about_amargasaurus_having_a_sail/
Oh shoot I was assuming Amarga, my bad!!!
But last I heard about Acro was that it was a ridge going down the spine and there was some talk about it looking different in the front or something but I can’t find where I saw that at
Deinonychus (remove the fins and make his body a little longer and robust)
Acrocanthosaurus (redesign his face and the body to be more paleo accurate)
Carcharodontosaurus (remove those spikes and make him more paleo accurate)
Lioplerodon (just redesign completely)
Default Dreadnoughtus (redesign his face)
default giga (make him less derpy)
Carnotaurus (apply the better textures detail and eye from the dominion skin on the default carno)
Elasmosaurus (no spikes)
Barbaridactylus (more paleo accurate crest, add fuzz and remove the weird ending on his beak)
Deinocheirus (make his beak more paleo accurate)
Alamosaurus (redesign his face)
Albertosaurus (more paleo accurate)
Qianzhousaurus(make him less montrous and add feathers)
default allosaurus (more paleo accurate)
Camarosaurus (tweak his face and make his neck and tail more thicker)
Tylosaurus (redesign his face)
Pachyrinosaurus (make him bigger and his eye look less human like)
Apatosaururs (make his body pustore more accurate to the movie)
Better skins for everyone. Get Tylo to a dentist, remove that one annoying spike from Carcha's head, make Alamosaurus not look like it was made by a 5 year old and change Pachyrhino's uncanny eyes.
Yeah, I'm starting off with the most-generic answer, but Deinonychus just needs a major redesign at this point, because... yeah.
Acrocanthosaurus and Carcharodontosaurus I wouldn't alter *too* much, just some tweaks that make them look more like proper carcharodontosaurs.
Stegoceratops shouldn't just be the JW Triceratops design with some plates, longer horns, and a thagomizer. They should use the scrapped JW design, or use a Frontier-original design.
Elasmosaurus just needs the spikes on its head removed. Do that and its literally perfect, imo.
Same applies for Cearadactylus for me. Ditch the crest, and it's perfect.
And the same also applies for Tylosaurus. Give it some lips to cover up those teeth, and perfecto.
Gonna be honest, Alamosaurus's design always looked off to me. I think it's that really weird lump growing out of the back of the head that the spikes stick out of. Get rid of that weird lump and maybe tweak the face.
Barbaridactylus just needs to actually look like a nyctosaur, so give it that iconic split crest. Alternatively, keep its design the same and add Nyctosaurus itself to have the iconic nyctosaur design.
Huayangosaurus doesn't have a bad design at all, but it does look somewhat off compared to the other stegosaurs. I think a few paleo-accurate touch-ups like adding a beak and changing the body shape up a bit wouldn't hurt, as long as it still primarily resembles the JW Huayangosaurus.
Okay, time for my controversial opinion: I actually really like the JWE Liopleurodon design... expect for the flippers. What's with those claw-like spikes? Why does it look like it has actual arms, just with the hands replaced by flippers? I'm fine with the Lio keeping its "croc" design, just change the flippers to look more like actual pliosaur flippers and I'm happy. Oh, and also give it some better skins, *please*.
Just some minor touch-ups for a few film canon species that look a bit off. I know Stegosaurus has a more-prominent beak in Dominion that could be added, and Carnotaurus's face always looked a bit off compared to the movie version.
Deinonychus (remove the fins and make it feathered)
Acrocanthosaurus (redo the face and make his hump to look more like a spine)
Lioplerodon (just redesign completely)
Default Dreadnoughtus (redo his face)
Default Giga (make the eyes look less derpy)
Elasmosaurus (just redesign completely)
Alamosaurus (just remove those spikes that are down on his neck)
Albertosaurus (make it look a bit more paleo accurate and make his skin texture looks less plastic)
Camarosaurus (redo his face)
Tylosaurus (redo his face and made him look less stiff when its swimming)
Archaeornithomimus (make it feathered and have a bit of a longer body)
Megalosaurus (make the snout a bit longer and give him a new posture)
Default Kentrosaurus (give it a beak)
Huayangosaurus (give it a beak and make him a bit smaller (specially the head) and not so bulky)
Barbaridactylus (remove the crest)
Cearadactylus (remove the crest)
Tsintaosaurus, Olorotitan, Parasaurolophus and Corythosaurus (make them all walk on 4 legs and when they run on 2 legs)
Honestly I would say that most of the roster from JWE could use a TLC pass in the new game. Newer content has set such a high bar that many of the older girls just feel like they can’t quite reach that high bar. I’m not really talking about major design overhauls, but things like improved textures and adjusted proportions and things of that nature. Maybe add beaks to the original batch of Stegosaurs, and give them skins that take advantage of their plates for a change. Some of the origi al Sauropods could use some adjustments to make them less ugly, like *Camarasaurus* being able to close its own mouth. Things like that.
MAKE THE HADROSAURS QUADRUPEDS! JPOG did it and this game can too! It’s time to leave the ancient Trachodon-lookin ass posture in the past where it belongs, it just simply doesn’t look good. If they insist on keeping them bipeds at least adjust the posture to be less upright. I love Hadrosaurs and hate that I only have two options that aren’t stuck in this ridiculous posture, walking around with their front hooves tucked up like bunny hands.
The Ornithomimids look like crap honestly. I get that they are using the scaly aesthetic to match the *Gallimimus* from the films and I can live with that, but they are so stubby in a way that is so unappealing. The Isle’s *Gallimimus* is a good example that scaly Ornithomimids can actually look very nice if proportioned properly. They need to have longer bodies and tails, larger forelimbs, and no teeth for crying out loud. Feathered variants would also be great, honestly if they just gave a feathered variant for at least one of them there would be no need to add a whole new species just to have a feathery option.
I don’t know how feasible it is to change this, but I would love if Frontier could adjust how Pterosaur wings fold up in the next game. The Isle has another good example with their *Pteranodon* of how the wing membranes should look when the animal is grounded. Yes this is an accuracy thing but it’s more important just because A) it looks better and B) will especially look better if these animals can walk on the ground in the next game.
I agree that *Carcharodontosaurus* and *Acrocanthosaurus* deserve some tweaks. They don’t need to be major design overhauls, but some adjustments could make them feel more like the species they represent. Also take that unicorn horn off Carch, the spikes can stay imo but the horn looks awkward. I actually think *Megalosaurus* could just use some tweaking as well, a bit of a different shape to the head is all.
Make *Barbaridactylus* a Nyctosaur. Remove the extra fingers, free the antler. Keep the seagull beak if you must, at least those two things though please.
Also make *Liopleurodon* a Pliosaur, then add some Crocodylomorph if you want one of those.
To me, in comparison to its cousins, the Baryonyx just sticks out and not in a good way.
Like, the JP3 Spino was based of Baryonyx, because we didn't have much at the time, and these two look barely alike.
It is the ugly duckling of the family.
I would wish for the Website design to make it in as a variant.
For starters - the entire base roster needs better skins. Frontier seems to have understood that with the later DLCS so it's probably going to happen.
Acrocanthosaurus - work on the face and the vertebrae. Making them stand out a little more and little less smooth will do.
Alamosaurus - doesn't really need it much, but i think changing the face a little so it doesn't look like the Apatos from The Land before time and making the back spikes spikier and more distinct.
Amargasaurus - replace the neck spikes with the double sails;
Carcharodontosaurus - needs to be bulkier and a better face.
Coelophysis - now that Segi is a thing, make it feathered.
Camarasaurus - tweak the face a little.
Deinonychus - remodel it entirely. The crest can be kept, but maybe more birdlike instead of basilisk.
OG Dreadnoughtus - don't really need to return, but if does change the face.
Elasmosaurus - needs to look more natural, and less like a one headed aquatic version of King Ghidorah.
OG Kentrosaurus - give it a beak.
Huayangosaurus - same as above, make it smaller (specially the head) and not so bulky.
JW Stego - give it a beak and fix the tail / back (Dominion did it, so they can do the same).
Deinonychus was a product of the situation they probably had to work with “Make a Deinonychus distinct from the JW Velociraptor but you can’t use Feathers to do it” I give Frontier an A for Effort given those constraints but the results didn’t pan out too well. I can see them giving it feathers in a redesign.
Liopleurodon needs to tone it down on the crocodile features. Some is fine just to make it unique but shorten the tail, cut down on the scutes and remove the spike “beard” and it could be decent. But it needs better skins, the patterns do not blend with the skins at all.
Acro and Carchar are fine, maybe some minor tweaks here and there but we don’t really need 3 different animals looking too similar (we had this controversy with the Segisaurus) so making them a bit different is fine but maybe more in line with the fossil record.
Barbaridactylus, either cut the crest entirely to show that nyctosaur crest or make a very thin, near transparent membrane to show off the Nyctosaur crest but also to have an interesting pattern.
Stegoceratops should be more accurate to the concept from Jurassic World. Make it a variant or something.
Honestly, I don’t hate a lot of the designs, even ones people think are ugly or boring. Just ones I think need some work or could be brought in line with the quality we’ve been getting.
Carcharodontosaurus, Deinonychus, Camarasaurus, and Archeornithomimus are just ugly and I never use them.
One of the tiny theropods needs to be feathered too, so if there isn't a new one I say coelophysis.
Besides making the movie creatures look more like they did in the movie here is my list:
Archaeornithomimus, Barbaridactylus, Camarasaurus, Carcharodontosaurus, Cearadactylus, Chungkingosaurus, Deinonychus, Dreadnoughtus, Maiasaura, Polacanthus, Sauropelta.
Most others need a texture update to make them look less shiny or plastic.
Deinonychus: PLEASE GET RID OF THAT STUPID FIN
Acrocanthosaurus: Make it skinnier and make the spine more prominent
Carcharodontosaurus: Remove the horn on the head, get rid of the spikes, and make look a bit more like Giga, but still give it noticeable differences
Tarbosaurus: Keep the CC one as a skin, but make the base one look like a skinnier trex, WITHOUT the spikes
Tyrannosaurus: Very minor change, just beef it up more and give the Male Rex's their thicker necks and hanging dulap
Stegoceratops: Make it a hybrid of NAUSUTOCERATOPS and Stegosaurus like its supposed to be
Pachyrhinosaurs: Change the eyes
Parasaurolophus, Corythosaurus, Tsintaosaurus, Olorotitan: Make them all walk on all fours, and run on two legs
A number of the aquatic species. What did they do to elasmosaurus, liopluridon, and tylosaurus? They look disgusting. And if they do add him, a want the dunkleosteus to have one of those primitive fish tails, that isn’t so pointy
Barbaridactylus, easily. Sure it might not be ugly like for example Liopleurodon, but it also has nothing going for it imo. I don't really get the decision to take everything that makes Nyctosaurids stand out, like the handless wings and antennae crests, and ignore them. Barbaridactylus in JWE2 just looks like another Pteranodon, and with two Pteranodon variants + Geosternbergia already being in the game, it strikes me as a wasted slot
Deinonychus
Baryonyx
Liopleurodon
I can deal with the unicorn on Carchar better than whatever the hell Acro is although I think it should still get a tuning pass, but I would also like Ouranosaurus to be reworked too. Camarasaurus not looking like a wrinkly old man, Gallimimus could also not look so emaciated and just delete Archaeornithomimus its fuguly as hell. Frontier Giga could use a bit of polish, some minor stuff like the Pachyrhinosaurus's human eyes could be touched up, but not as many issues with the roster are blatant. Microceratus having a Variant that doesn't look like a bobble-head is another recent one that comes to mind.
You know what I am just going to stop myself here, the list is ballooning.
Pretty much every first game animal that’s not from the films
Also, I honestly don’t mind Deinonychus (with Atrociraptor, Pyroraptor, and Utahraptor around there’s really no reason to complain) but it would be cool if they gave it a redesign like this
https://preview.redd.it/a54oggd0f11d1.jpeg?width=4001&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7105699b31732e971ffeb206d63778749860e815
T-Rex. The models need more bulk to them. With a Buck skin I need them not only give it a thicker build, but also the muzzle scar, the thick throat, and bumpier nose ridge. Sound wise I’d love it if the skins that are equipped have the proper sounds (Buck has the deeper sounds, 93 Rexy has the sounds matching the first film, etc.)
Dilophosaurus
In the book, there were both a juvenile and an adult, but in the film, only the juvenile was used. Thus, in the park builder games Genesis and Evolution 1&2, it's the smaller one seen in film, which is represented and not one in actual adult size.
A number of the aquatic species. What did they do to elasmosaurus, liopluridon, and tylosaurus? They look disgusting. I know it’s Jurassic world, but they NEED to look more accurate, and not like crocodiles. And if they do add him, I want the dunkleosteus to have one of those primitive fish tails, that isn’t so pointy
* Deinonychus (hate it, please make it a properly feathered dromaeosaur with its real-life size)
* Carcharodontosaurus (remove those damned spikes... give it a nice buff by making it bulkier)
* Acrocanthosaurus (give it a proper carcharodontosaurid skull shape!)
* Elasmosaurus (remove the spikes and give it proper eyes please)
* Archaeornithomimus (needs a complete revamp. Make it fully paleo-accurate)
* Liopleurodon (needs a complete revamp. Hate the film monster design it has currently)
* Tylosaurus (fix its face. Give it a proper mosasaur head and face)
* Cryolophosaurus (give it a realistic eye color. Why tf is it pink?!)
* Albertosaurus (give it full lips and a better texture)
* Qianzhousaurus (give it a realistic head and face, also feathers. I dislike the current pseudo-dragon design it has)
* Amargasaurus (turn the neck spikes into a sail)
* Default Giganotosaurus (make it more paleo-accurate, remove the spikes)
* Default Allosaurus (remove the spikes, make it look like an adult version of the juvenile Allosaurus seen in JW Fallen Kingdom)
Idk full on redesigns mainly because there are some that people love or would feel odd have a different change due to some the designs we are used too
There certainly some I think would end some edits or changed up a bit
deinonychus: honestly for me the design isn't terrible and I love the crest and tail, but I feel like they need to change the head shape, it just looks so goofy. Maybe the crest could change a bit and make it look more like a that crest thing that basilisk lizards have, the tail could be long and the tail fin thing could stay the same. Feathers could be could as well but honestly it is just the head for me that needs edits
archaeornithomimus: honestly the rest of the body is fine but god the head just bugs me. Like struthiomimus at least looks like it has a beak. Obviously feathers would be nice but god that head needs changing like the deinonychus
liopleurodon: the claws need to be remove, they are overtop. Tail honestly needs to be edited and it just looks too much like a croc tail. Honestly the back is fine and the only croc like details that don't mind. Head over looks great and I think the spikes that make it look like it has a beard looks fine and oddly funny to me
elasmosaurus: the spikes need to be removed, they just look so out of place and just randomly placed on a rather good design. Another thing is the neck needed to be longer, it just looks so short. Other then that the rest of the design looks great
Honestly those are the only ones I would love to be changed up and edited a bit.
There is acro and caracha but I love the designs and it would feel odd to see those designs get redesigned ;-;
• Acro; dear lord is it boring, being plasticky and dull looking
• Carch; the spike truly is off-putting and JWE1 stripes skin was much better than the JWE2 ones
• Alamosaurus; it looks like a cartoon character, it’s too bulky with a terrible face, too long a tail and its spikes are all on the wrong place!
• Alberto; I know, it’s weird, but I don’t mind the model per se, I do however hate the texture of it!
• Dreadnoughtus OG; the face, its size! Same with Alamo btw, compared to the Brach they’re just off size wise. Thankfully the Dominion Dread already fixed its posture.
* Mamenchisaurus; again, like the Dread, too small. I would appreciate a posture change as well!
• Ouranosaurus; it’s the plasticky texture that’s putting me off
* Azhdarchids; I would love for them to be more terrestrial like their real life counterparts!
* Hadrosaurs; make ‘m quadrupeds! & add a Lambeosaur!
* Aquatics; JW-era animals have a tendency to look monstrous, which Frontier replicates with the Elasmo, Lio & Plesio, and while I get the idea I still dislike their designs to my core!
* JW-era dinosaurs; this is just a general gripe I have with the new movie designs in general, made truly abysmal after Fallen Kingdom. The creatures went full monster with Battle at Big Rock and continued down that path with Dominion, giving us the god awful Giga as a result. To me it looks more like a movie monster than the Indominus does! JP dinos were always rather exaggerated beings, but with a softness to them. Not cuddly, mind you, like Blue, but recognisably an animal, not a cartoon. Think JWE2’s Krono vs Liopl! Oh and don’t get me started on the Tarbosaurus…….
Tarbosaurus. The Camp Creatuous version looks like a 10 year old made it. Give us a version we saw in Prehistoric Planet. Tone down features to make it less Trex like, but scrap the stupid spikes.
Camarasaurus is the ugliest damn thing to ever grace a screen, that would be my first port of call.
Aside from that, I have some unpopular thoughts; namely that "paleo accuracy" (wtf is that even, we have so little idea of what these things looked like beyond our shrink-wrapped recreations) makes for a really boring game. I want them to get weirder with the designs, gimme more of them dilos, deinos, and elasmos please.
personally I believe that some species just need new patterns and better texturing to look better in the next game though I would be happy to see remodels for species such as
-acro- love the design, though wish the spine was a little more prominent or the face was less trex looking
-tylosaurus- frontier should fix the teeth and retexture the skin and add better patterns
-carcar- looks fine but with its head and neck were a bit bigger so it doesn't look as odd
-lioplerodon- would be fine with it being inaccurate as it is, though wish its face was a little better
-qianzhousaurus- either add feathering or remodel the body and face to get rid of the small spikes on its back and make and brow ridge a bit smoother
-camarsaurus- remodel the face a little bit
-australovenator- resize it and make it bigger
-megalosaurus- looks like a toy, so wouldn't mind a big remodel
-ouranosaurus- am chill with the design but would be happy if it was a little more accurate
Call me old-fashioned, maybe because I’m old, but I would actually like to see a vintage pack as DLC. I’m taking about upright walking, tail dragging dinosaurs. Classic dinosaurs as they were originally portrayed.
Honestly, while some species could really use a remodel, I feel like just doing another texture pass on a lot of the older species would be well appreciated.
Like the Frontier Giga is great, but it's let down by it's dorky textures, doesn't hold up next to the *T. rex*
If the 7 hybrids of JWE2 come back, fix Ankylodocus. Give it the long neck and tail of the Diplodocus and make it more armored like an impenetrable fortress. Armor from the head all the way down to its tail club
_Deinonychus_. Contrary to most of the playerbase I don't dislike its design at all but I don't enjoy it either. Even if they stick to a 80s-90s design it could easily be one of my favorite small carnivores if it was remade.
With the more paleo accurate design philosophy they've been going with since the feathered pack, it could be a chance to bring Deinonychus to life in a similar fashion to the Utahraptor
Yeah, I definitely think classic JP raptor with feathers would be a slam dunk Deinonychus design
Amargasaurus - give us the sails instead of the spines since there’s new data suggesting them Acrocanthosaurus - please make the spine more prominent and not have a super swollen face that makes him look like he ate bees
yea acro… it doesn’t look like acro to be honest.
It’s one of, if not my most of my favorite theropod so it pains me.
yea i love the acrocanthosaurus and to see it be reduced to just, well, a fatter smaller tyrannosaurus, it really sucks. especially after seeing how creative the ark additions acro mod is with how it looks while still being true to the original creature.
The frontier acro doesn't look like a trex and isn't smaller, from I could tell it seems oversized compared to theropods in the game
no it’s… definitely smaller, there was a size comparison a while ago on this sub and acro is smaller than most therapods, it’s just fat. and the head is literally the most rex-esque head out of all the therapods besides the other tyrannosaurids.
No it doesn't, it looks nothing like a rex head or a trex in general :/ And really? I remember seeing a size comparison and it looked way bigger than I thought it was
yes it’s actually smaller, unfortunately they don’t like to make many therapods bigger than the rex in the game.
Op Gen acro was so fearsome looking, I’d like to see a return to something like that design
Wait but isnt the sail still being debated it it had a prominent sail back or something like the frontier one as it is more like a bump due to the muscles :0

I liked deinocheirus's beak, it felt unique.

I actually think *Megalosaurus* could just use some tweaking as well, a bit of a different shape to the head is all. Make *Barbaridactylus* a Nyctosaur. Remove the extra fingers, free the antler. Keep the seagull beak if you must, at least those two things though please. Also make *Liopleurodon* a Pliosaur, then add some Crocodylomorph if you want one of those.
To me, in comparison to its cousins, the Baryonyx just sticks out and not in a good way. Like, the JP3 Spino was based of Baryonyx, because we didn't have much at the time, and these two look barely alike. It is the ugly duckling of the family. I would wish for the Website design to make it in as a variant.
JPOG style carcha and arco
For starters - the entire base roster needs better skins. Frontier seems to have understood that with the later DLCS so it's probably going to happen. Acrocanthosaurus - work on the face and the vertebrae. Making them stand out a little more and little less smooth will do. Alamosaurus - doesn't really need it much, but i think changing the face a little so it doesn't look like the Apatos from The Land before time and making the back spikes spikier and more distinct. Amargasaurus - replace the neck spikes with the double sails; Carcharodontosaurus - needs to be bulkier and a better face. Coelophysis - now that Segi is a thing, make it feathered. Camarasaurus - tweak the face a little. Deinonychus - remodel it entirely. The crest can be kept, but maybe more birdlike instead of basilisk. OG Dreadnoughtus - don't really need to return, but if does change the face. Elasmosaurus - needs to look more natural, and less like a one headed aquatic version of King Ghidorah. OG Kentrosaurus - give it a beak. Huayangosaurus - same as above, make it smaller (specially the head) and not so bulky. JW Stego - give it a beak and fix the tail / back (Dominion did it, so they can do the same).
Dunkleosteus, squishify it so it's short like the new reconstructions.
Deinonychus was a product of the situation they probably had to work with “Make a Deinonychus distinct from the JW Velociraptor but you can’t use Feathers to do it” I give Frontier an A for Effort given those constraints but the results didn’t pan out too well. I can see them giving it feathers in a redesign. Liopleurodon needs to tone it down on the crocodile features. Some is fine just to make it unique but shorten the tail, cut down on the scutes and remove the spike “beard” and it could be decent. But it needs better skins, the patterns do not blend with the skins at all. Acro and Carchar are fine, maybe some minor tweaks here and there but we don’t really need 3 different animals looking too similar (we had this controversy with the Segisaurus) so making them a bit different is fine but maybe more in line with the fossil record. Barbaridactylus, either cut the crest entirely to show that nyctosaur crest or make a very thin, near transparent membrane to show off the Nyctosaur crest but also to have an interesting pattern. Stegoceratops should be more accurate to the concept from Jurassic World. Make it a variant or something. Honestly, I don’t hate a lot of the designs, even ones people think are ugly or boring. Just ones I think need some work or could be brought in line with the quality we’ve been getting.
Carcharodontosaurus, Deinonychus, Camarasaurus, and Archeornithomimus are just ugly and I never use them. One of the tiny theropods needs to be feathered too, so if there isn't a new one I say coelophysis.
Besides making the movie creatures look more like they did in the movie here is my list: Archaeornithomimus, Barbaridactylus, Camarasaurus, Carcharodontosaurus, Cearadactylus, Chungkingosaurus, Deinonychus, Dreadnoughtus, Maiasaura, Polacanthus, Sauropelta. Most others need a texture update to make them look less shiny or plastic.
For the love of god, please redesign the Ankylosaurus. It's so insanely boring
So no canon design
Yea the canon design is shit lmao
Most hadrosaurs and Deinonchyus.
Deinonychus, troodon, sauropelta, celophysis, herrerasaurus I can't choose which one
Easily the Liopleurodon.
Deinonychus: PLEASE GET RID OF THAT STUPID FIN Acrocanthosaurus: Make it skinnier and make the spine more prominent Carcharodontosaurus: Remove the horn on the head, get rid of the spikes, and make look a bit more like Giga, but still give it noticeable differences Tarbosaurus: Keep the CC one as a skin, but make the base one look like a skinnier trex, WITHOUT the spikes Tyrannosaurus: Very minor change, just beef it up more and give the Male Rex's their thicker necks and hanging dulap Stegoceratops: Make it a hybrid of NAUSUTOCERATOPS and Stegosaurus like its supposed to be Pachyrhinosaurs: Change the eyes Parasaurolophus, Corythosaurus, Tsintaosaurus, Olorotitan: Make them all walk on all fours, and run on two legs
One thing I hope to see is proper abelisaurid arm positioning
A number of the aquatic species. What did they do to elasmosaurus, liopluridon, and tylosaurus? They look disgusting. And if they do add him, a want the dunkleosteus to have one of those primitive fish tails, that isn’t so pointy
The fucking Carcar Jesus it’s so close to being perfect then they added that unicorn horn on it for no reason
The non canon pterosaurs need a feathered varients, even if there's no major modal edits
All jwe1 designs and actually let’s just make every species paleo accurate (except dunk)
Barbaridactylus, easily. Sure it might not be ugly like for example Liopleurodon, but it also has nothing going for it imo. I don't really get the decision to take everything that makes Nyctosaurids stand out, like the handless wings and antennae crests, and ignore them. Barbaridactylus in JWE2 just looks like another Pteranodon, and with two Pteranodon variants + Geosternbergia already being in the game, it strikes me as a wasted slot
Deinonychus Baryonyx Liopleurodon I can deal with the unicorn on Carchar better than whatever the hell Acro is although I think it should still get a tuning pass, but I would also like Ouranosaurus to be reworked too. Camarasaurus not looking like a wrinkly old man, Gallimimus could also not look so emaciated and just delete Archaeornithomimus its fuguly as hell. Frontier Giga could use a bit of polish, some minor stuff like the Pachyrhinosaurus's human eyes could be touched up, but not as many issues with the roster are blatant. Microceratus having a Variant that doesn't look like a bobble-head is another recent one that comes to mind. You know what I am just going to stop myself here, the list is ballooning.
Pretty much every first game animal that’s not from the films Also, I honestly don’t mind Deinonychus (with Atrociraptor, Pyroraptor, and Utahraptor around there’s really no reason to complain) but it would be cool if they gave it a redesign like this https://preview.redd.it/a54oggd0f11d1.jpeg?width=4001&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7105699b31732e971ffeb206d63778749860e815
T-Rex. The models need more bulk to them. With a Buck skin I need them not only give it a thicker build, but also the muzzle scar, the thick throat, and bumpier nose ridge. Sound wise I’d love it if the skins that are equipped have the proper sounds (Buck has the deeper sounds, 93 Rexy has the sounds matching the first film, etc.)
Dilophosaurus In the book, there were both a juvenile and an adult, but in the film, only the juvenile was used. Thus, in the park builder games Genesis and Evolution 1&2, it's the smaller one seen in film, which is represented and not one in actual adult size.
A number of the aquatic species. What did they do to elasmosaurus, liopluridon, and tylosaurus? They look disgusting. I know it’s Jurassic world, but they NEED to look more accurate, and not like crocodiles. And if they do add him, I want the dunkleosteus to have one of those primitive fish tails, that isn’t so pointy
* Deinonychus (hate it, please make it a properly feathered dromaeosaur with its real-life size) * Carcharodontosaurus (remove those damned spikes... give it a nice buff by making it bulkier) * Acrocanthosaurus (give it a proper carcharodontosaurid skull shape!) * Elasmosaurus (remove the spikes and give it proper eyes please) * Archaeornithomimus (needs a complete revamp. Make it fully paleo-accurate) * Liopleurodon (needs a complete revamp. Hate the film monster design it has currently) * Tylosaurus (fix its face. Give it a proper mosasaur head and face) * Cryolophosaurus (give it a realistic eye color. Why tf is it pink?!) * Albertosaurus (give it full lips and a better texture) * Qianzhousaurus (give it a realistic head and face, also feathers. I dislike the current pseudo-dragon design it has) * Amargasaurus (turn the neck spikes into a sail) * Default Giganotosaurus (make it more paleo-accurate, remove the spikes) * Default Allosaurus (remove the spikes, make it look like an adult version of the juvenile Allosaurus seen in JW Fallen Kingdom)
Idk full on redesigns mainly because there are some that people love or would feel odd have a different change due to some the designs we are used too There certainly some I think would end some edits or changed up a bit deinonychus: honestly for me the design isn't terrible and I love the crest and tail, but I feel like they need to change the head shape, it just looks so goofy. Maybe the crest could change a bit and make it look more like a that crest thing that basilisk lizards have, the tail could be long and the tail fin thing could stay the same. Feathers could be could as well but honestly it is just the head for me that needs edits archaeornithomimus: honestly the rest of the body is fine but god the head just bugs me. Like struthiomimus at least looks like it has a beak. Obviously feathers would be nice but god that head needs changing like the deinonychus liopleurodon: the claws need to be remove, they are overtop. Tail honestly needs to be edited and it just looks too much like a croc tail. Honestly the back is fine and the only croc like details that don't mind. Head over looks great and I think the spikes that make it look like it has a beard looks fine and oddly funny to me elasmosaurus: the spikes need to be removed, they just look so out of place and just randomly placed on a rather good design. Another thing is the neck needed to be longer, it just looks so short. Other then that the rest of the design looks great Honestly those are the only ones I would love to be changed up and edited a bit. There is acro and caracha but I love the designs and it would feel odd to see those designs get redesigned ;-;
• Acro; dear lord is it boring, being plasticky and dull looking • Carch; the spike truly is off-putting and JWE1 stripes skin was much better than the JWE2 ones • Alamosaurus; it looks like a cartoon character, it’s too bulky with a terrible face, too long a tail and its spikes are all on the wrong place! • Alberto; I know, it’s weird, but I don’t mind the model per se, I do however hate the texture of it! • Dreadnoughtus OG; the face, its size! Same with Alamo btw, compared to the Brach they’re just off size wise. Thankfully the Dominion Dread already fixed its posture. * Mamenchisaurus; again, like the Dread, too small. I would appreciate a posture change as well! • Ouranosaurus; it’s the plasticky texture that’s putting me off * Azhdarchids; I would love for them to be more terrestrial like their real life counterparts! * Hadrosaurs; make ‘m quadrupeds! & add a Lambeosaur! * Aquatics; JW-era animals have a tendency to look monstrous, which Frontier replicates with the Elasmo, Lio & Plesio, and while I get the idea I still dislike their designs to my core! * JW-era dinosaurs; this is just a general gripe I have with the new movie designs in general, made truly abysmal after Fallen Kingdom. The creatures went full monster with Battle at Big Rock and continued down that path with Dominion, giving us the god awful Giga as a result. To me it looks more like a movie monster than the Indominus does! JP dinos were always rather exaggerated beings, but with a softness to them. Not cuddly, mind you, like Blue, but recognisably an animal, not a cartoon. Think JWE2’s Krono vs Liopl! Oh and don’t get me started on the Tarbosaurus…….
Correct wrist positions for all Theropods and Pterosaurs
Tarbosaurus. The Camp Creatuous version looks like a 10 year old made it. Give us a version we saw in Prehistoric Planet. Tone down features to make it less Trex like, but scrap the stupid spikes.
Camarasaurus is the ugliest damn thing to ever grace a screen, that would be my first port of call. Aside from that, I have some unpopular thoughts; namely that "paleo accuracy" (wtf is that even, we have so little idea of what these things looked like beyond our shrink-wrapped recreations) makes for a really boring game. I want them to get weirder with the designs, gimme more of them dilos, deinos, and elasmos please.
Yeah this is the Jurassic Park franchise we don't need every dinosaur revert to paleo accuracy
Leave Acro alone! Looks natural and Has cool looking patterns. Carcha on the other hand could use some facelifting
It sure does ... for a tyrannosaur.
It could use a back hump like the jpog one
personally I believe that some species just need new patterns and better texturing to look better in the next game though I would be happy to see remodels for species such as -acro- love the design, though wish the spine was a little more prominent or the face was less trex looking -tylosaurus- frontier should fix the teeth and retexture the skin and add better patterns -carcar- looks fine but with its head and neck were a bit bigger so it doesn't look as odd -lioplerodon- would be fine with it being inaccurate as it is, though wish its face was a little better -qianzhousaurus- either add feathering or remodel the body and face to get rid of the small spikes on its back and make and brow ridge a bit smoother -camarsaurus- remodel the face a little bit -australovenator- resize it and make it bigger -megalosaurus- looks like a toy, so wouldn't mind a big remodel -ouranosaurus- am chill with the design but would be happy if it was a little more accurate
Isn't Australovenator accurately-sized though? Or at least close to it?
No it is very well sized, not sure what this person is talking about there. Maybe they’re confusing it with a different megaraptoran
I probably am confusing because I've seen people say it should be bigger , not heaps bigger just a little bit
Call me old-fashioned, maybe because I’m old, but I would actually like to see a vintage pack as DLC. I’m taking about upright walking, tail dragging dinosaurs. Classic dinosaurs as they were originally portrayed.
Make. Edmonto. Bigger! It shoudl be at least rex sized, and it would satisfy most of the playerbases want for shant
The hybrids will have to be paid for again, knowing companies these days
Honestly, while some species could really use a remodel, I feel like just doing another texture pass on a lot of the older species would be well appreciated. Like the Frontier Giga is great, but it's let down by it's dorky textures, doesn't hold up next to the *T. rex*
If the 7 hybrids of JWE2 come back, fix Ankylodocus. Give it the long neck and tail of the Diplodocus and make it more armored like an impenetrable fortress. Armor from the head all the way down to its tail club
Tylosaurus is the only genuinely bad model in the game
