This was one of the many videos I saw and I didn't like this part either. Like how the goat just stood there as if it couldn't hear/feel the Ceratosaurus approaching...And then how it got swallowed in one bite was just lame and lazy. I hope that's just because it's an early version. One of the many things they need to fix before release!

I wanna say it's just because it's an early version, because of how the goat just disappears, but I feel like the Ceratosaurus approaching the goat was all intentional because it was fully animated and when it roared behind the goat, causing its tail to flutter before it ate it whole, it seems like that was for comedic effect. It got a chuckle out of me the first time, but if that's how Ceratosaurus is going to eat goats, I don't think I'll use goats to feet it.
Who knows though. The version at the event could have been a pretty old build of the game, because a lot of the AI seemed rather clunky, and again, the goat just disappeared. There was no animation of it being eaten whole.
I forgot, that was another issue. In JPOG the goats and cows at least ran.
I saw a video where a Ceratosaur attacked a Struthiomimus and it just stood there like the goat did.
I saw that as well. This suggests two things: the gameplay was from an early build with incomplete AI (and a lot of other bugs and weird things suggest it is an early build as well)
or Frontier somehow, SOMEHOW is screwing the pooch so bad that they're not even putting in reactive AI.
I recall Frontier was stressing the quality of the AI as one of the foremost pros. The current build we saw doesn't suggest that. If they just told us how old the build was or if it was a thing they were working on, I wouldn't be so wary. Traditionally, builds developers demo at events are outdated, but I would at least like confirmation of that.
Although in the case of the Struthiomimus, the Ceratosaurus pounced it to kill it. A very different animation than walking up behind it, roaring, then casually eating it whole. I would also like to comment that the Ceratosaurus's animation was very clunky just before pouncing. This could mean the Struthiomimus was meant to have some sort of reaction to the Ceratosaurus.

BestInSlot in his latest video said with regard to to dinosaur fighting "there will be blood"
Anyone knows where he might get that info?
Was going to comment the same thing. as its obviously quite a hot topic so I doubt he would be so blase with it if there werent some semblence of truth. Maybe its just not ingame yet. Eitherway im not imagining full gore but some blood should be available at least. Although I find it entertaining you can clearly show a dino eating someone but there cant be blood. As evident by one of youtube vids showing the Ceratasaurus chowing down on someone very clearly.
