Update Important News about Dinosaur Sizing

[MarcWP]

We all paid money for the game... And the majority wanted a bigger Giga and Spino. They were hilariously small. And if the only reason you bought the game, was because the T-Rex was too big compared to the other animals, that's on you. It's a game. You can play it regardless. If something this small makes up your whole gaming experience, then I feel sad for you.

And if you go to the official Jurassic World Evo website, you can read in the dinosaur descriptions, that the Giga is as big as the Rex or even bigger. It also states that Spino is the biggest therapod that ever existed.

But you obviously don't find this to be an issue, so what's the point of stating you paid money for the game as well? I'm complaining about paying a lot of money for the game because I'd expect to get what I expect to get, not to be deceived and betrayed later on (especially after they stated they wouldn't change the sizes). Perhaps the majority wanted a bigger Giga and Spino (at least a slightly bigger Giga would be excusable), but they were not hilariously small at all (especially not the Spino, which was already larger than it should be). Also, I never said the reason I bought the game was because the T-Rex was of proper size, don't twist my words please.

Of course I can still play the game (and remember how all I said was that the fact that the T-Rex was of proper size simply made me overlook all the other flaws because it was such a joy to behold and experience), and I would feel just as sad for all those asking for the currently implemented inaccurate size adjustments. Don't be hypocritical.

Also noting that the aforementioned dinosaur descriptions are clearly inaccurate and deceptive and don't hold any water, they neither agree with real life data nor in-universe data. T-Rex remains the largest known theropod to have ever existed regardless of what the game says (also noting that they could easily change and correct the in-game data) or what wishful fans demand for that matter. I'm disappointed, and still would ask that they either fix the size issue or provides a way for the current size adjustments to be refused.

Of course they should follow the information they put forth about the dinosaurs in the game. They put it there for a reason to begin with... I doubt Universal and Frontier would make stuff up. Maybe you're better informed about dino sizes than the public, Frontier and Universal, but this is their game and their models. Almost 90% of what people can look up states that these sizes are accurate... Like it or not. They will not be changed, since you're the only person on the entire forum, that doesn't agree with them.

This is Jurassic World, almost none of the dinosaurs are accurate. And the Spino was basically the size of a Ceratosaurus. It was terrible... The fact that you think it's fine is crazy. They wouldn't have changed it, if it didn't fit the canon. End of story. You can't even tell the sizes unless you put them in a paddock together, which you can't. So it's a ridiculous discussion... You're defending the size of an extinct animal, like it's your life that's in danger... It's hilarious.

I could probably find articles online stating the Rex knew sign language. Because a couple of people put something on the internet doesn't make it true. Same goes with the Spino and Giga size, but I'm just gonna go with the majority of studies and fossil researches. You go with the minority. Doesn't change a thing... Frontier's game, not ours.

And the Rex is still the same size as it was in the beginning, so you can still overlook the other flaws in the game. Nothing has changed regarding the Rex.

You are really all over the place with your nonsense. So you're saying the following up-to-date data in the video below is all wrong then (all of which is verifiable)? If these data are true, then yes, I certainly am better informed (not to mention Frontier and Universal specializes in entertainment, not scientific facts as they relate to dinosaurs, and the general public is all over the place and believes and claims all sorts of crazy things). Seriously, they put the claims of "Giga and Spino being bigger than T-Rex" in the game because they were following pop-cultural myths largely propagated and hyped up by the media but not actually supported by science (I don't know where you got the "90%" number from though). Like it or not, but T-Rex remains the largest known theropod to ever exist, and the JWE data is simply wrong and deceptive. We've gone through this multiple times before in this thread.

Further, I'm clearly not the only person disagreeing with the decision (as could be seen on this same page), I'm simply much more vocal about it, and the Spino was hardly the size of the Ceratosaurus, and the size of the T-Rex has clearly changed from 14 meters to 13.5 meters (stop lying please) and they made the Spino and Giga bigger even though they should both be much smaller (at the very least the Spino), and the fact that you think the original sizes were terrible but the current ones aren't just goes to show you don't really care what's accurate or appropriate, you're just defending those demanding inaccurate sizes which resulted from hype (probably because you are the same). It doesn't fit the canonical sizes, they changed the sizes because they wanted to please a large group of vocal fans who complained without justification.

You can try and make all sorts of false claims like "it's canon" or "it's reality" (or even state that I belong to a minority) to fit your narrative but it won't make them any more true nor any less wrong. I'm not acting like my life's in danger, I'm simply making my strong desires known, so again, please stop twisting and misrepresenting my words, intentions, and intellect (as if I were prone to believe anything said on the internet without digging deep into the sources and actual data first, and perhaps you're being very, very, very hypocritical in this instance), as well as committing ad populum fallacies. It only comes across as pathetic and disrespectful. No offense.

This thread is beyond ridiculous. Betrayal ? Ceratosaurus and Giganotosaurus were the SAME SIZE. It was a joke. The current Theropods sizes are FINE, it's a good balance between movie canon and scientific evidences. Giganotosaurus and T. rex are the right size. No one cares about Spinosaurus size now because it's a one movie dinosaur and it's 100% inacurate anyway.

We should be discussing the herbivorous dinosaurs, currently all Hadrosaurs, medium Ankylosaurs and all medium Stegosaurs are the same size. I have a huge issue with that, it makes 80% of these species boring copies. I need clear size differenciation between all animals. I know it's a lot of work for the team because of the (stupid) killing animations and it's probably not on schedule, but they should add at least one other size tier for every non sauropod herbivorous in the game.

That include Ornithomimids too, Strutiomimmus should be smaller.
This way it would be more impactful to hatch a Gallimimus and notice how bigger it is!

This thread is exactly why I don't like dinosaurs as much anymore

 

[Prehistoric Pirate]

Here's my thoughts on it: When the Rex's species profile was released it showed Rex killing a Spino and very clearly stated that Rex is the biggest carnivore in JWE. This was a very refreshing change from the video games, movies, and books of the last 20+ years which had been pretty consistently humiliating and degrading the Rex. In Ark, for example, Giga is literally 2-3 times bigger than Rex and many times more powerful. JWE promised to break that trend, stay true to the current movie canon (and apparently the latest real-life size estimates), and actually be respectful to my favorite dinosaur. As such I very much wanted this game to be awesome and succeed.

Now fast forward to where we are now. Rex is not the biggest as it was advertised to be, it's not the strongest, and the Spino/Giga fans are sitting as smug as can be. It would even have been different if they would have bumped up the Rex's stats when they changed the sizes, but as it stands this game's Rex is so weak that it loses to puny Allosaurus. It doesn't represent the movie Rex or the real Rex in any way.

Because of all this I just can't get excited for this game anymore. So far I haven't even bought the DLC. Don't get me wrong, I'm not boycotting the game or anything like that. I probably will get the DLC eventually. But right now it's just... meh. The goodwill that I originally had for this game and this company just isn't there anymore.

Are you kidding me, right now? Did you see Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom by any chance? There are still numerous ways in which Tyrannosaurus is the center of dinosaur pop culture. Ask anyone but a casual dino nerd what Giganotosaurus is and most of them still don't know; and a lot of kids still pronounce it with a 'J' sound.

and the Spino/Giga fans are sitting as smug as can be

Why is a comment like this necessary? Really, why is it? How does it help your point? Is 'smugness' something that Frontier should be factoring into its decision making process?

---

This is why I don't like dinosaurs anymore -- it's devolving into this childish snout measuring contest over whose 'favorite' large carnivore is bigger, except of course as soon as your favorite doesn't have that one extra ton or foot, you don't feel like it's cool enough anymore. Heaven forbid anyone stop to appreciate dinosaurs as actual animals that, um, weren't created to serve anyone's specific idea of cool. These were real, living breathing creatures that mattered in a thousand ways more than length and height. Certainly people do not argue the value of lions, tigers, and leopards based on which big cat is largest. If you really like one of these species as a real animal and not a childish fantasy, whether or not it's thirty-nine feet or forty-one feet shouldn't really tip the scales.

One of my favorite dinosaurs is Baryonyx -- which is usually measured 20-30ft. It actually doesn't need to be the largest theropod in existence to impress me. I don't need my opinion validated by dinosaur movies and video games making it look heroic or strong.

Here's the thing - I actually never gave a hoot and holler about carnivore sizes in the first place. I was never one of the people overly upset about the idea Giganotosaurus or Spinosaurus were or weren't too small. (I've still never cloned a Giga months later, in fact.) I'm not saying any of this from a standpoint as to which size is 'correct'. I'm saying this from a standpoint that it's ridiculous that people are hinging the value of a sixty dollar video game on not the ninety-nine percent of its content but whether or not one or two particular things meet their specific idea of scale. If that's what defined your interest, you wasted your money on this game, period.

Sure. Tyrannosaurus gets a lot of respect in the Jurassic World movies. In fact the first Jurassic World was basically a comeback movie for the Rex. The whole story involving the Indominus was a lightly-veiled metaphor of the perceived need among the entertainment industry to always bring a monster that is bigger and badder than Tyrannosaurus. The movie was meant to undo all of the humiliations that I had mentioned before, most notably the fight against Spino in JP3.

Since the JW movies are trying so hard to re-establish Rex as the king of the franchise, shouldn't we expect the same from a game that is based on those movies?

Why is a comment like this necessary? Really, why is it? How does it help your point? Is 'smugness' something that Frontier should be factoring into its decision making process?

Why yes. Yes they should.

Cool. I'm glad that you can just like a dinosaur for what it is and that you aren't part of the problem. But let me try to put the situation into perspective for you.

Suppose hypothetically that you get the game, you put Baryonyx into your park, and you take pictures and just enjoy your Baryonyx in all of his fish-eating glory. Life in Jurassic World is great. But then, just to spite you, a bunch of kids among the playerbase start screaming at Frontier to change Baryonyx and take away whatever it is that makes it one of your favorite dinosaurs. So, being the great company that they are, Frontier listens to them and changes your dinosaur. The next time you log in you find that your 'Baryonyx' is a feathered four-legged herbivore with a short snout. And the kids who demanded this laugh at you and fart in your general direction.

Ok, I had to exaggerate the situation a bit because I don't know what specifically you like about Baryonyx. But you get the idea. The two things that generally draw people to Tyrannosaurus are his size and his power, so most would view it as a downgrade if you take those away. Anyway, I don't hate the game, I'm not boycotting it, and I haven't even been on here demanding that Frontier do what I want. I'm just not excited for the game anymore. Am I obligated to be? Am I obligated to play the game at all? Am I not entitled to my own opinion? What exactly are you pushing me to do?

 

[Parritron]

There is a lot of talk about the fans of Spino and Giga (I do not see them as such, I only see people who criticized the dwarf size of those two, it was unjustifiable) but the T-Rex fans are much worse and here they continue to cry and plead Frontier to reverse the changes two months after the 1.4 update. Get over it. If it is necessary to change the sizes that change those of certain stegosaurs and ceratopsids that are too large compared with the Stegosaurus and the North American Triceratops.

Now fast forward to where we are now. Rex is not the biggest as it was advertised to be, it's not the strongest, and the Spino/Giga fans are sitting as smug as can be. It would even have been different if they would have bumped up the Rex's stats when they changed the sizes, but as it stands this game's Rex is so weak that it loses to puny Allosaurus. It doesn't represent the movie Rex or the real Rex in any way.

This I already told you once: Not that the T-Rex is weak, is that Allo is totally owerpowered. Allo wins Spino, Giga and T-Rex, which does not make any sense. The problem is Allo.

T-Rex is the strongest and voluminous of the three great carnivores. I do not see what problem there is with its size if it was reduced by 0.5%, the change is minuscule. Now the size of Giga and Spino is completely successful. Nor that T-Rex was a dwarf now, is at the same level as the other two in size, neither below nor above and to please the fans T-Rex wins Spino and Giga in combat always.

There's a hell of a difference in making the Baryonyx a "feathered four-legged herbivore with a short snout" or shrinking it by half a meter, which is the case with the Rex. Nothing was changed about the animal, despite the smallest size change... You can't even see it with the naked eye. My fav will always be the raptors. I don't really care for the big carnivores. The problem to me is the exact thing you wrote. Your focus is not on the Rex. Your focus is on the Giga and Spino. Those animals obviously takes away your enjoyment from your favorite animal... WHY? It would be like me hating on the Utahraptor if it made the game. Being "bigger and badder" than the raptors... I couldn't care less. I would still just breed my raptors. You decide which dinosaurs to have in your park. Who's forcing you to do otherwise?

You're pointing fingers at other animals instead of enjoying the animal you love. That's what I have a problem with. It's hating, just because you can. Nothing else... So ask yourself how much you really love the Rex, if this is all it takes for you to hate it.

So you still refer to this fanmade video made by a Rex fanboy? All his videos are about the Rex and are made in Moviemaker... And you want to talk about reliable sources... LOL LOL LOL

And as you write yourself, Universal and Frontier specialises in entertainment... You should know. Since all the animals are incorrect. Why did you expect different, when you know it's a Jurassic game? None of the animals will be accurate. You don't see me complaining about the raptors being inaccurate. They are supposed to be... This is exactly entertainment. Not science.

We have no plans to revert the dinosaur size changes or to make additional size changes. Our community were very vocal that the sizes were not what they wanted previously and we have now taken the necessary steps to address these concerns. This has been met with great support by the majority of our players.

You're pointing fingers at other animals instead of enjoying the animal you love. That's what I have a problem with. It's hating, just because you can. Nothing else... So ask yourself how much you really love the Rex, if this is all it takes for you to hate it.

The problem is that one of the major hallmarks about Tyrannosaurus is the fact that it is supposed to be the largest of all the theropods, and they made Giganotosaurus and Spinosaurus bigger than the T-Rex even though they should be much smaller. This absolutely does take away a great deal from the experience and the excitement and has the otherwise smaller Giga and Spino overshadow the star dinosaur of this franchise and the king of the dinosaurs overall. I love Giganotosaurus and Spinosaurus, but I also want them to be of proper size, and the current sizes are just ridiculous and it certainly wasn't any sort of improvement. I love these dinosaurs, and I certainly love when they are given their appropriate sizes.

 

[Xenosaurian]

So you still refer to this fanmade video made by a Rex fanboy? All his videos are about the Rex and are made in Moviemaker... And you want to talk about reliable sources... LOL LOL LOL

Why did you expect different, when you know it's a Jurassic game? None of the animals will be accurate. You don't see me complaining about the raptors being inaccurate. They are supposed to be... This is exactly entertainment. Not science.

The video is fan-made, so what? Does that make the information in the video wrong then? The information provided in the video is accurate and verifiable and you're just dismissing it with silly excuses and refuse to address any of it. This merely goes to show you're afraid of the data and you're afraid to be wrong. It's a summary of known data and he's all open about sharing his sources. Surely a lot of his videos cover the T-Rex to great extent, but that's not surprising since we know a hell of a lot more about T-Rex than any other dinosaur and it's the most well-known dinosaur to date, and it's no wonder people are fascinated by it, it's an incredible animal, enough said.

Yes, the dinosaurs in the game may all be incorrect to some degree, however let's be real here, people mostly care about the big theropods, especially the T-Rex which is the very revered and beloved face of this entire franchise, so of course there will be complaints when this animal and topics surrounding it aren't handled properly. The Raptors are as they should be, but they made the Giga and the Spino bigger than the T-Rex, even though they SHOULDN'T be. Furthermore, you can stop being hypocritical and make the same speech to all those kids demanding the current size changes.

 

[MarcWP]

Yes in the few fanmade videos you posted, they are smaller. The other 90% of articles and researches say they are the same size or bigger. And they are not bigger than the Rex in the game anyway... They are the same size. Just don’t incubate them if you’re too butthurt about it.

And the raptors are not fine AT ALL. They should be half the size... Are you serious??

And yes everything is wrong with fanmade videos. I could make one right now stating Michael Jordan was better at baseball than basketball. An outlet every person can use is never reliable. I need videos of direct scientists stating this. At least 10 of them, before I can believe anything... That doesn’t just goes with dinosaurs... It’s with everything. You have people stating that milk is bad for you... I’ll believe the nutritionists instead.

And if you want appropriate sizes you can’t have any dinosaurs in your park regardless, since almost none of them are accurate... But you don’t talk about them. Only the Rex, Rex, Rex. Which indicates right away, that you don’t care about scientific accuracy. You just worship the Rex like it’s religion and you only read what you want to read. You even talked your way around the herbivores, which you should agree upon, that they should be changed... It’s so biased it’s crazy. It’s just being stubborn. If you took 100 scientists and 90 of them told you Giga was bigger, you would still believe the last 10%. Which is fine, but then you shouldn’t brag about being right, when almost everything goes against you, and your “facts” are from unreliable sources like fanmade youtube channels... Frontier wouldn’t have changed it, if it was right to begin with. And you got your answer from Frontier. THEY WILL NOT BE CHANGED.

Close the damn thread.

Our community were very vocal that the sizes were not what they wanted previously and we have now taken the necessary steps to address these concerns. This has been met with great support by the majority of our players.

You should never have listened to those complaints. I'm certainly one of those who never consented to these changes, and honestly going ahead with it like that was just rotten. If you do not plan on changing the sizes (which ironically you said you weren't going to do once, which gave people like myself some peace, and then you went ahead and did it anyway), then the least you could do is offer a personal update which refuses the size changes in some people's copies of the game but leaves other people's copies unaffected.
