Why haven't dinosaurs been utilized to make a good survival horror game?

Why haven't dinosaurs been utilized to make a good survival horror game?
Dino crisis was definitely good for its time but why is no one taking advantage of how scary these mother fuckers are?

>survival horror
Cancer.
I mean I can see how it could be good but they just can't do it.
It ends up being a boring walking sim.

I don't consider those lame steam cash grabs survival horror user

I wouldn't mind a JP game that played like Resident Evil 7 or Alien Isolation. The Xeno behaves much like a raptor.

Making a predator actually behave like one convincingly to the point where it can unnerve you takes a lot more effort than simply giving a human model jerky animations and greenish skin

Trespasser PS4 when?

I was just thinking that today, except for movies. can't think of a single good dinosaur horror movie.

they just don't want to animate tails

First jurassic park
And 3 kinda

not really.

>Resident Evil 7
Fuck off. Remake-like or bust.

this

JP is scary, but it's nowhere near fullblown horror. it's all in the tone, man.

Some "scary" things from real life (like dinosaurs) just don't work in games.
Silent Hill knew that.
I'd be shitting my pants if dinosaurs were after me in some rain forest, or alien was looking for me on a spaceship, but in games in a goddamn chore to wait through those dumb scripts.
Scary game should be dream-like, abstract and vague, that's why people still remember P.T. that was 1 hour of gameplay.

so dino crisis remake then?

different things.

did it bother anyone else that even with all the firepower they brought to bear, they never managed to shoot a single dino until jurassic world?

The hide-and-seek games you're obviously talking about are not survival horror games at all. Survival horror is a very specific genre focused on resource management in situation of extreme scarcity, not just a general style.

I don't agree. There's several ways to unnerve someone and that's one approach.
The way to do it with dinosaurs is to make you vulnerable as fuck. Limited ammo, constantly in danger, and very faint sense of hope. Suspense plays a huge role too. I think it can be done.

remake was awful. hopefully re2 remake will be more modernized like VII.

different kinds of scary. dinosaurs are more visceral. dead space 2 already did some enemies like dinosaurs. something like that.

We all had little dino figurines as kids and all go through that 'dino' phase of being completely engrossed in dino facts and encyclopedias and picture books.

Dinosaurs are something we get comfortable with as children. They're not threatening or horrific. They're cute.

I just want you all to know this is the closest I've ever seen a video game come to doing dinosaurs right. If it was less linear they would have fucking nailed it.

>Everyone wants dinosaurs to be snarling monsters instead of regular animals doing animal things.

Dinosaurs deserve better. Sad!

Time and effort for a niche audience to gain more fans and new franchises does not fall in line with corprate morons. They'd rather churn out bullshit after bullshit, add microtransactions and lootboxes, and call it a day. If it isn't by the numbers and charts and graphs, fuck it. Because the gaming industry is shit.

zombie dinosaurs. eh?

Opposite problem. Ark exists

>ctrl+f
>king kong
>0 results
play this RIGHT FUCKING NOW, gave me PTSD as a kid. the kong parts are actually kind of shit but the rest is completely worth it.

Dino Crisis?

Fuck I heard good things desu
What console should I emulate it on?
This wouldn't be on the Playstation store would it?

>The way to do it with dinosaurs is to make you vulnerable as fuck. Limited ammo, constantly in danger, and very faint sense of hope.
Not scary, just annoying and... yeah as you said unnerving. I'll give you unnerving but it's not what's horror genre's for.

remake of trespasser is vaporware by now

Then what the fuck is it for
Dumbass jump scares?
Horror games need to have tension and suspense

Considering in the ecosystem thing they want, I hope he comes back in MHWorld.

Not sure, I played it on the GC when it first came out. Might be worth Googling around to see if there are any big differences but I doubt it.

Just have the goddamn dinosaur from the PS1 tech demo stalk you.
That motherfucker was pretty scary gotta say.

Exactly, it's just a stupid fucking beast that shits and sleeps and probably won't be as determined to find you as movies will lead you to believe. That's just not scary.

>not scary

well aren't you a tough guy. I'll bet only slenderman games scare you.

Not the same user you're replying too but I loved the game as well. I played it on PS2. Hope you enjoy it.

Would you play something like Amnesia but instead of a goof monster after you, it's a pack of raptors constantly hunting you?

youtube.com/watch?v=NkEVKzZNQDY

It needs an OST like the one in the demo too. Slightly industrial and creepy.

>Dumbass jump scares?
Don't put words in my mouth, jumpscares are definitely not a way to go but so is stupid shit like aliens and dinos.

They aren't scary.

I'm the biggest coward in the world, but shit like Alien: Isolation bore the ever living shit out of me with it's jumpscares and goofy looking monster and ""realism"".
Yet Silent Hill always gets my noggin joggin.

Woah, it's almost like people have different things that scare them. You should go get yourself tested for autism, not being able to accept others opinions than your own is a major sign of it

Read the novels. Dinosaurs get blown to pieces by shotguns and grenade launchers.

I actually really enjoyed the Turok reboot. If had just been titled something else I'll bet it would be remembered more fondly and would probably be considered a hidden gem.

Because we found out the awful truth.

Huh? what?

Jurassic Park tycoon game would be great

If dinosaurs running on your screen is all it takes to actually scare you, I'm not the one who has issues.

>It ends up being a boring walking sim.
Exactly.

id have to say gcn just cos it has the best emulator (dolphin)

the term "walking sim" has become the new cancer

Yeah how dare they call it what it is.

Jesus, swap the alien for a raptor and you've got a terrific Jurassic Park horror. The perfect game if it stuck to the 90's aesthetics as faithfully as Isolation stuck to the 70's.

>creative assembly develops a first person horror game based on jurassic park
I want that now.

he's underage shitposter - he can't consider anything for shit because the only "survival horrors" he ever played were freeware shit like Slenderman and whatever else got released as Source mods (also Outlast and Daylight)

>Survival Horror is now considered walking sims
How did we fall this far

>T-those aren't real survival horrors!
You're not a communist are you?

It's on PC natively you fucking idiots. And there are 2 versions of the game on PC. The PS2/GC/Xbox version is the signature edition, and the next gen 360 version is called the gamers edition. Pretty sure you can torrent both versions that mix them together and you can turn the HD textures and improved lighting on and off in the options menu.

The game has a few minor glitches though, with the door opening QTE. It's solved by assigning the button to your mouse wheel and spinning it fast. Aside from that, King Kong is fucking great and well worth a playthrough.

>dat creature eco system
>creature infighting to the max
>all those puzzles and hide and seek fights and getting past raptors
>getting chases around by t rex's when you hold just a spear

So good.

Just remake Dino Crisis like the Resident Evil remake, capcom just jumped the ship too fucking fast with that series and said eh fuck it, let it die

CAPTAIN HAYES!

Deviljho could easily work as a horror monster

I want a dino crisis remake in the same vein of the resident evil remake

There's one coming. Can't remember the name though.

>Natural beasts doing natural things
>Not scary

I guess you don't watch the discovery channel much, user. ...Enjoy having your bowls eaten while you're still alive.

I still think an Alien Isolation-esque game with Raptors would be terrifying.

Dino crisis, but survival horror has been dead for many years now

>be kid
>we have a ps1
>mom bought dino crisis for me
>am too scared to play it for more than 15 minutes
>mom plays it and beats the game multiple times
>even buys dino crisis 2 later and beats that too

NEVER EVER

Your mom sounds like a very cool person.

Dino crisis 2 > Dino crisis 1
Accept that "survival horror" doesn't fit dinosaurs.

Because Trespasser bombed.
It's actually a good game.

fuck off feather fag

>Peter Jackson's King Kong: The Offical Game of the Movie: Signature Edition

Dino Crisis scared the fuck out of me when I was 9 years old or there about, My first copy was a NTSC burnt one and being PAL only modchip I had to figure out a fucking fuse game at the start that you need colour for in one of the first levels. Still remember that shit to this day.

>Enemies can open doors

>Leather shoe with gold laces thumbnail

sequel never
turok is dead

those things that looked around the corner weren't scary at all, just a bit tense due to the task at hand

What a shame.

...

youtube.com/watch?v=7mg1FRSsw4o

fuck you buddy, I just got these bowls from IKEA

so is dyno crisis an unused IP like megaman or what?

It's dead, Jim. Capcom did some retarded reboot set in space with weird mutant dinosaurs and killed the franchise.

I want to ____ ____ ___________!!

I WANT TO BREAK FREE!!!!

Jurassic Park dinosaurs suck. We need scary feathered dinosaurs, that way you could have fire as a central mechanic to keep yourself safe. Imagine walking through complete darkness with a torch, only able to see 10 feet ahead of you, and a raptor lunges at you. You know they're prowling and circling you but they won't actually approach because they know you can set them alight. They're just snapping at your ankles and waiting for your torch to burn out.

Where is the Jurassic Park like Far Cry game?

Wasn't that a plan on some point?

I'd prefer an open world survival game with crafting elements.

I love dinosaur threads because I like posting these Jurassic Park figure cards. They are illustrations that were made before the actual movie got released (I think the figures came out before the movie) and showcase some excellent artwork.

Take this t-rex one. It shows what you want in a dinosaur game. Brightly lit jungle, walking along, suddenly a fucking t-rex comes at you and all you have is a pistol!

They went the realistic route with Far Cry Primal.

Apparentely, since humans and dinos never coexisted, they couldn't realisticaly make a game out of it.

There will never be a game like BloodDragon again. "Realism" is all Ubisoft cares about now.

>Jurassic Park
It was a prehistoric

And some other atmospheric setting style cards

Scenes from the book, I see.

Nice.

JP open world (come one Isla Nublar is perfect for it) survival game NEVER EVER GOD DAMN IT!

...

Ever seen a pack of lions rip open a warthog? Now imagine a pack of raptors doing that to you.

>"You are alive when they start to eat you"-Alan Grant.

Yeah check this one out. The figure line didn't have Lex in it, so they left her out of the drawings.

>Land Before Time XXX

The original Turok was pretty badass
