I really wasn’t sure of that was cgi or live-action footage of an actress. Very impressive!

No Switch release? This makes me feel a little disappointed. This game looks pretty cool.

We'd probably end up with another "Mortal Kombat 1" level product.

Did the Switch version of that game suck or something? My last Mortal Kombat game was Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3. Fighting games hurt my hands too much. I have painful neuropathy.

Interesting we're seeing the Jurassic Park IP being licensed and not the Jurassic World IP. But boy did that last movie salt the earth on all of that stuff.

Seems like they are promoting this game as "relive all the iconic scenes of the first movie" but using all original characters so "anything goes" and they don't have to worry too much about "canon."

Got a ton of publicity for being such a historic downgrade, way moreso than MK11 on Switch vs. other platforms:

its the Jurassic Park anniversary, thats why. Not the Jurassic World one.

I thought for a moment it will be remake of a Trespasser, but nope, it quickly turned into something else.

This looked really good! One of the highlights from the Game Award reveals for sure. Definitely picking this up when I eventually find the time to get a PS5 or XBOX Series X/S lol.

That was a great game that should get a remastered edition!

This game is going to give us like the fourth take on what happened to the Barbasol Cryo can from the movie for sure. I can't say I'm a fan of the previous takes in Camp Cretaceous, in JP: The Game and Return to JP.

I hope we still get one more DLC expansion in Jurassic World Evolution 2 before this comes out.

Before the last movie came out Universal started to split the Jurassic Park and Jurassic World brands so they can basically profit more from the IP and the different audiences: Adult manchildren and Children.
Before that you kept seeing Jurassic Park merch branded as Jurassic World and the original gate with the World logo and whatnot. I'm glad they started separating it since the movies are indeed different.

This is coming out in 2025 most likely so it'll likely be in the Switch 2.

They've been pandering to nostalgia for a while, the whole JW Trilogy did plenty of callbacks, especially the last movie. The cartoon Camp Cretaceous was basically "Jurassic callbacks" the cartoon. I hope the game's story can stand on its own, it basically will retcon everything that happened in Jurassic Park: The Game from telltale which told the story at the same timeframe. The JW movies had already retconned the game's story already despite using references and ideas straight from the game. I just hope this is better than The Game's story.

I didn't understand the controversy, the Switch is obviously had a weaker graphics chip. people didn't make fun of the wii/ps2 versions of the force unleashed, tony hawk, call of duty etc. They understood it was weaker hardware, as long as the gameplay was similar it didn't need to be the definitive graphical version.

Tresspasser is getting a VR port made by fans and its coming along quite nicely, I played a beta version of the first level and it already plays way better than the original and it's full VR. (kinda weird I have a boobs with a heart tattoo when I look down but whatever)

People expect better from the console hardware in the modern day and age.
Downgrade is OK, but this...goes a bit beyond just usual downgrade.

It reminds of all those ancient ports of Arcade games for Commodore 64 and Atari, which looked almost nothing like source games and basically existed solely to syphon people out of their money, using power of the brand. Same case applies here.

I think the bigger problem is, so many Nintendo fans out there still don't want to acknowledge that their console is the weakest one graphically.

I mean, they shouldn't have even bothered to make MK1 for it.
