You would think this would be a mighty deep vein to tap but no one is doing it. Make another Dino Crisis. There's a dozen ways to bring Turok back. Make Farcry but dinosaurs, Fallout but dinosaurs, Lost World style fantasy RPG, Alien Isolation but Jurassic Park, Dragon Age but Dinotopia. Take any game you can think of and slap some dinosaurs on it and it'll kick ass. Everyone loves dinosaurs, but no one is making dinosaur games. What gives?

And yeah, I know there's like a half dozen poor man's Dino Crisis games in development right now. Still pretty damn limited.

Sure, but it has never truly gone away. We have small resurgences every few years.

Sure there was a spike after Jurassic World but people love dinosaurs all the time. It's something that doesn't really age.

Same for mythology based games. There's literally hundreds of pantheons out there that could make for some awesome games.

Back on the old Macintosh computers there were a bunch of crappy games including a 3D dinosaur one, at my elementary school. It was about collecting eggs and saving them before the clock to extinction runs out. Never remembered what that game was called.

I remember seeing some kind of reaction to the Nintendo Direct that had the Xenoblade X reveal and the guy just shouts off-mic in excitement to someone "This game has fucking giant mechs fighting dinosaurs!".

This is a really terrible topic and you should feel bad TC.

There are multiple Dinosaur games on Steam and Horizon Forbidden Dawn literally just came out.

The reason I tried ARK:SE...I hated the crafting in the game. I wanted to just walk around, but it made me spend all day working near a camp fire.

They went extinct after Star Fox Adventures. Dino Crisis III and Turok 2008 were the meteors that killed them.

The closest weve gotten from popular games is robot dinosaurs in the Horizon series and Far Cry Primal.

A bunch of shovelware and a game that does not contain any dinosaurs?

I feel like Dino Crisis III isn't that bad! I mean, it probably shouldn't be called Dino Crisis III, but for what it is, I think it's pretty good.
