Buildings & Attractions General Gameplay Blue the Velociraptor (and her possible inclusion)

I know a lot of people from all over the place wherever I go on internet say that they would want to have "their own Blue, as a velociraptor cosmetic option" for their parks, but the point is this: Blue is a unique velociraptor specimen with her very own design and personality that both Frontier and Universal want to keep true with, as Frontier Developments themselves confirmed many times before., as oppose to using her design as a generic raptor for a game, that way she feels a lot more special as a "character".

Despite this, Blue herself could still have a potential to be in the game if decided. Instead of her looks being a raptor cosmetic, due to what might make her nature less special in-game than she is everywhere else, she herself could be an actual character and asset that you could utilize in your parks.



Blue could most definitely be something you could acquire in a major story based DLC expansion pack, particularly an Owen Grady focused DLC, just like there is one for Dr. Wu and Claire, because of the strong relationship both she and Owen have in the series. Her introduction to the game's story and lore themselves is quite challenging, so I really don't have a plausible concept of explanation to say at the moment. But there are elements that do show some potentiality for an in-game inclusion if decided.

Firstly, the game utilizes certain film lore elements to make its own story and timeline. In the case of characters from the films, the game uses the current status of both living and deceased characters from within the last five movies in the franchise, particularly from within the Jurassic World trilogy saga. The four living people from the film universe that "appear" in the game are Owen, Claire, Dr. Wu, and Dr. Malcolm. The tour voiceover for the Gyrosphere and Jurassic Tour rides will say that Owen Grady formerly trained velociraptors himself when they detect a velociraptor in-game, one perfect example as to how the game utilizes historical lore elements from the films to make its own lore. Since Blue is a current living character herself in the Jurassic World saga, there's your starting point right there.

In gameplay terms, Blue could be researched before even utilizing her yourself in your parks, but then there's the other tricky part: purpose.

What kind of purpose would Blue have in Jurassic World Evolution? I have a couple of theories as to how she could serve an in-game purpose if she were to be added in-game.

She could be an attraction of her own for visitors to see from special buildings with some unique-ness to them like feeding or trick shows or something like that, but I think that's the least probability for a beloved character like her. Perhaps she could be a special kind of "security" asset, whom which she could provide some distractions for escaped dinosaurs to make it easier for ACU choppers to tranquilize escaped and/or troubling dinosaurs, or maybe to have her as an "executioner" for certain escaped dangerous dinosaurs (though I would probably not agree too much on that last part of the suggestion).

However she would be executed as a park asset, it would be best that she would be spawned from special buildings or whatever after research and limit the amount of constructing that feature to one per map kind of like how some of the operation buildings in the game are like in normal gameplay. Although, because she's a single unique character, I find it pretty hard to see how she could be unitized of her "building/spawner" is used on more than one map in campaign mode since there are five islands and seven maps in the main campaign, but that's not to say that wouldn't be possible.

Any further suggestions on how the character, Blue, could have a potential in-game?

When/if she is added I imagine it like this: after three-starring Sanctuary you discover (in a message from Owen) that part of Nublar is intact. You find Blue and some other dinos roaming around on what was once main street. Lava is slowly taking over. The player must manually tranquilize Blue and save her. Then she is taken Sanctuary, where the player must complete missions that involve giving her a new pack and keeping her away from Wu and Lambert.

Except you would be required to have Claire’s Sanctuary first before acquiring a plausible Owen Grady based DLC in order to function, something no DLC I know of has ever done.

A released DLC with a completed fleshed out story and lore has very little chance of expanding further, movie human character focused DLCs in this game seem to focus more on their respective movie human characters than others, and I personally don’t see Blue as a dinosaur entity to be the same as the other in-game dinosaurs, considering her extremely special nature. Like for example: having Blue die in-game seems like an unlikely circumstance for Universal Pictures to allow.

I've already stated my opinion in other threads regarding Blue/Raptor Squad being in the game - in that I feel that "them being 'special' characters is not a good enough reason to exclude popular characters and/or their appearances from the game. There are all sorts of creative ways one could come up with to incorporate them into the game while both respecting those characters and giving the players what should have been there from the beginning. Instead the devs presently choose to use the excuse that "they are too special so we're not adding them".

The whole topic must also beg the question, are their personalites so lacking that those characters need a unique skin to differentiate them from normal raptors?? Looks alone should not be the defining trait for a character. Then there is also the fact that JP/JW whole thing is centered around cloning and genetic manipulation - so thematically, it would only make sense to be like "Oh we created these special unique raptors.... Lets make more.. Lets make them better", or in the case of Dr. Wu in JW:FK "Let's use them to create something even more ridiculous".

Blue has a higher chance than the other three raptors because of how the game is designed in many ways.

Sure, anything and anyone can be capable of anything, but that doesn’t mean they have to or should be doing them. Your ideas seem unlikely for characters like them, specifically. They didn’t want to add them not just because of looks, but also because of personalities.

Is there any actual support for the claim that Blue has a higher chance than the rest of the Raptor Squad? Did the devs say this directly somewhere or what? If not, then this statement doesn't really mean anything as it has no actual basis on anything other than pure speculation.

This could be said about literally everything in the entire JP/JW franchise...

My idea realllyy wasn't that different from yours.... just one idea has the potential to give a good chunk of the player base what they want, and the other... well.. not nearly as much.

I really don't think the arguement for Blue's exclusion even makes consistent sense. First, Blue and the rest of the squad are all included in both Jurassic World: The Game (mobile) and Jurassic World: Alive (mobile). Second, both the Indominus Rex and the Indoraptor were unique characters and yet we can pump out as many of them as we want. Sure as a different company, Frontier may be trying to avoid matching skins from Ludia or Niantic for artistic copywrite reasons, but if anything I would think characters like Blue and the squad would then be as open to use as Claire and Owen.

I understand what you mean, but in both FK and JW Blue was inteaded to be used for violent purposes and the heros stopped this. Your favored use of her is basically that. Perhaps instead, the DLC (which like you said, shouldn't carry on from Claire's Sanctuary) involves catching Blue and aquiring DNA that could be used to make other raptors look like her (her highlights combined with the base raptor genome) but not be her. Instead of her death, the player eventually sends her to another island far away from anyone who will hurt her.

I understand where you’re going, but Blue is more special, loved, and recognizable to the general public compared to the other three raptors. In few other places that's Jurassic World related, she is generally the only raptor to be shown.

P.S., the Indoraptor and Indoninus rex aren’t the same as “unique characters” in Frontier’s book, as often mistaken.
For good reason:

They never confirmed anything about them.

I just know, in theory, she has at least some conceptual potential to a capacity if she is decided to be in the game at some point just by observing and digging deep into the nature of this game as a whole.

Oh ok. I get that. However, especially after Fallen Kingdom's talk of Wu's special inerest in Blue's genetic line I would argue adding a Blue cosmetic could follow the same thinking they offer for Irex and Indo: raptors in JWE with the blue cosmetic gene are not Blue, but members of her specific breed within Velociraptor hammondensis.

To add onto this, we are given the info that Black-Throated Monitor genes were incorporated into Blue's genetic make up for the purpose of making her stripe slightly metallic and overall her appearance the way it is (iirc the info was from one of the JW lego games). Simply put, as unique as her appearance is, it is still very much designed and not implausible that those same monitor genes could be used for other Raptors. Here be a pic of the species of monitor in question, that does distinctly show that lateral stripe down its head and neck.

While I doubt it's related to Blue at all, it's is also interesting to note that Blue isn't even the only raptor with this type of lateral stripe marking either, as it is also present in the JP3 Male raptors
