This just came to me. Nobody can claim they dont want one. It doesnt have to be Jurassic Park, but it should be. I dont mean one of those point and clicks things, I mean a decent, playable game.

Think of good it would be to killing some smaller grunts (Compies?) before heading out into a clearing to see a Tyrannosaur picking at a fallen foe only to turn to notice you.

Some hack writer can create a scenario when all the herbivores (Brachiosaurs) drink smoe mutated water or something that turns them into bloodthirsty killers of isolated human video game anti-heroes.

Dinosaurs make perfect game subject matter.

1. They fill the role of zombies/Nazis/Russians as unthinking killers we dont feel bad about rocket launching. Moral ambiguity is hard.

2. There's lots of different varieties for enemies. T-Rex as the final boss; lets see Glados stand up to that.

3. Think of the visuals. That same Jurassic Park awe in a game.

4. They already dead. No chance of pissing off an interest group.

The more I think of it, the more angry I am this doesnt exist.

Bring back Turok.
I absolutely loved the PS3 Turok game, I really thought it was something genuinely different.

And I really loved the co-op modes, they were extremely fun.

Was very disappointed when they cancelled the potential sequel.
 
Would prefer a dinosaur game where you aren't armed to the teeth with 40,000 different weapons with the aim to kill them. A survival game with 'next-gen' graphics would be fine with me; basically Jurassic Park in video game form I suppose; just not Telltale-style.

I couldn't help but think when I was playing Far Cry 3 how sweet it would've been if the island was populated with dinosaurs.
 
Anyone else remember trespasser? That was an awesome game - if not a little over ambitious for its time (actually was way ahead of its time on a lot of levels)

It was based on lone survivor from a plane crash trying to get off site B (I can't Remeber if it was before or after the lost world - but it was Jurassic park)
