Creating own hybrids

The work this would take... To make models of every 42 dinosaurs combined with all the others. They'll have to design and implement 1.722 new dinosaur models. This request is outrageous.
Ever played Dino Island Tycoon? The literally had this exact system, and that was like 15 years ago lol
If player-made hybrids were introduced, I'd prefer it be restricted to an optional DLC package rather than inserted into the core game mechanics. I have no interest in additional hybrids and wouldn't want all the extra data of something I'd never use filling up the hard drive.
Yes and all the dinosaurs looked horrible. LOL
There are no current plans to create your own hybrids. Jurassic World Evolution uses fully modeled dinosaurs, created by our artists in line with Universal Studios designs. As MarcWP has highlighted, to make the selection everyone would want and to the same standard as the current models would require a staggeringly large amount of work.
I have to agree. Thanks the gods of coding for keeping such hard work to the creation of new ones and delivering us from more monsters XD
But we can’t just have 2, the Indominus rex and Indoraptor shouldn’t be the only hybrids when considering that they are both carnivores and the latter can be easily argued as just a variation of the Indominus.
Also, with the recent announcement that Frontier Developments currently has no plans for pterosaurs or marine reptiles, adding new hybrids wouldn’t be a bad idea. Dr. Wu was shown to be working on Stegoceratops and at least two other hybrids in the Hammond Creation Lab and on the Masrani Global website, Claire says that the Indominus may be the first of many genetically modified dinosaurs in InGen's attempt to continually satisfy both visitors and investors.
There are further hints to that there will be new hybrids from the InGen Database. From the memo “On Schedule”, Dr. Wu and Dr. Dua talk about creating more stable hybrids in order to remain ahead of their competitors.
So what? Neither of them were created out of entertainment, but as weapons. A herbivore hybrid woulnd't pose any interest.
On the contrary, it would be a very bad idea: currently the game has too many lacks and flaws, they should be focusing on polishing it (at least, that's what I hope they're doing). I have no desire for new content until the one we already got gets fixed.
But, should they want to add more species, there are still many land dinosaurs known in the franchise and flying and marine reptiles should come first anyway: that was also de case lore-wise so, if they want to stay true to the franchise, those exhibits should came first (although they already messed it by adding IRex and IRaptor in the first place).
Source? Because that was not in the movie.
This could refer as well just to an "updated" Indoraptor, don't forget the one from the movie (the one ingame) is supposed to be a prototype
The Stegoceratops was shown on the computer screen in the lab, in the first Jurassic World.
While the Indoraptor was purposely designed to be a weapon, the Indominus rex was intended to be a spectacular attraction to increase guest numbers and generate interest for Jurassic World, and satisfy Masrani Global's board of investors. It was created out of entertainment, but hijacked by InGen Security to develop the weaponised dinosaur programme.
Rubbish. A herbivore hybrid would be able to generate interest, a couple examples are Stegoceratops and Paramoloch.
Stegoceratops has the advantages of a ceratopsian, large horns and thick frill, and a stegosaurian, sharp thagomiser tail and extravagant plates on the back. A fight between this herbivore and Indominus rex would be an incredible spectacle! Interest will also be generated considering that this was an animal that was going to appear in the movie.

Paramoloch appears to be a more advanced version of the Pachycephalosaur hybrid shown on Dr. Wu's computer. But the most interesting part of this hybrid of Parasaurolophus and Stygimoloch is the unique cranial crest that allows it to both headbutt and communicate with others. One of the original theories about the function of Parasaurolophus' crest was that it was used for combat, this hybrid is the physical personification of that theory. It would be a fantastic addition to JWE!

I concur, Frontier's attention should focus on improving the gameplay (e.g. more complex management), improving the A.I. (e.g, herds and sleeping) and general bug fixing (e.g. visitors phasing through closed doors). After these issues are sorted, then Frontier can add new attractions, amenities and animals.
However dinosaurs and hybrids should take priority over the pterosaurs and marine reptiles. As we've seen from the Fallen Kingdom update, the mechanics to add real and hybrid dinosaurs into JWE are already there, as well as the attractions to display them and the fences to contain them. Whereas pterosaurs and marine reptiles are a whole new frontier to develop.
They were in the movie, and as MarcWP said, they were on Dr. Wu’s computer in the Hammond Creation Lab.
This could refer as well just to an "updated" Indoraptor, don't forget the one from the movie (the one ingame) is supposed to be a prototype
Not really no; Dr. Wu's profile says that after the Jurassic World Incident, he continued his association with paleo-genetics, creating multiple hybrid species. The Indoraptor is just one of the many hybrids Dr. Wu was working on.
I am so sick of listening to people whine about the hybrids...
First of all, all the animals in the Jurassic franchise are hybrids, so much so that many look nothing like the animals they are suppose to represent... so why do "fake" hybrids get so much hate but "real" hybrids are acceptable? Fact: animals like the Velociraptor and Dilophosaurus in Jurassic Park are just as fake as the Indominus...
Second, the addition of hybrids is the natural progression of the franchise. The ability to clone dinosaurs has fallen into the hands of corrupt people with the intent to exploit it in terrible ways, what do you think such people are going to make? Normal-ish dinosaurs or terrifying super monsters?
I am not so sure about that, but whatever.
Rubbish, there a lots of real species that could fill that role just as well, even with some particularities similar to Dilos' (surprising) poison (or Troodon's nesting habits), specially if adding flying and aquatic animals with their new and challenging characteristics. True, that would mean adding or changing significantly certain parts of the game but, let's face it, a park simulator of ground dinosaurs was done before and in some cases much better than JWE (like PK). So why not get a bit creative for a change.
Yeah, as if you could exhibit animal fights in your park without having the whole world's Animal Protectors on your back.
Please, dinosaur fights might be some possibility because of nature and all but it shouldn't be something a park management should aim for. Also, I doubt very much Ingen would tolerate that, not only because of the reason stated above, but also because these animals are really expensive (specially hybrids). And I don't think you could make the return of such an animal's death just by showing the fight once (since you wouldn't be able to stop them or, if you indeed could, any of them could get so badly hurt that eventually would die), so go explain what kind of bargain would you get out of it, aside from satisfying your own blood thirst?
And, please, don't tell me that, in-game, making money is stupidly easy, because that's also something I think is really, really bugged. Even if one could have an income of "millions per minute", the costs of staff, technology, imported food both for guests and animals and all the rest would be astronomical and you couldn't ever keep increasing your income endlessly as we can now: eventually, it would stabilize and even decay. So no, I don't think it viable and, anyway, investors would always want more, so they would vote against such a sacrifice.
Agree. So let's leave this discussion for later on, shall we?
I disagree on this point, as I said. Lore-wise and if they indeed want to stay true to the franchise, at least flying reptiles came first: even the original JP had an Aviary. The fact that they added Indominus and I-Raptor first, I think, was more due to time constraints and Universal's pressure than anything, but that doesn't mean that the game shouldn't have to include at least flying dinos, in my opinion, even if they came as an expansion in the first place.
This doesn't prove anything, as the Indoraptor is different from the Indominus, the "multiple hybrid species" could just as well mean new versions of them both. Still, I maintain the adding of hybrids was the worst decision ever, so we agree to disagree.
And, about the "Stegoceratops" onscreen: have you consider the possibility of it being just genetic "concept art"? Maybe while Wu was researching how to hybridize he developed some non-viable projects (with this being one) until he came to breed the Indominus. The cloning process of new species was initially marked by many problems and few successes, that's stated both in the novel and TLW, and I doubt the hybridization process was flawless from the beginning. Also, after what happened with the Indominus, I doubt Ingen would allow any more, but whatever.
Novel-wise they weren't. The original Wu and Hammond wanted to make dinosaurs are true as possible and aimed at having the most pure genome possible, while that indeed meant that some were "different" because of gene-splicing, they were still real animals according to the fossil register in many ways. Still, no one knows how any dinosaur would have looked like, not even those who debate that some had feathers, or were warm/cold bloodied, or whatever. Hell, there's even debate on the size some of them could have achieved or if some species are actually different age stages of the same animal. So all kinds of changed to that respects would make sense and even account for certain literary liberties of problems like Dilophosaur's poison, which also accounts for the challenge of taking care of animals no one have tried to take care before.
Yet, to say that hybridization is "the natural progress of the franchise" is to get it too far, in my opinion. There is indeed room to modifying them in many ways (adding feathers, make them more aggressive, bigger/stronger, more or less social...) and that's the base of gene-splicing that was in the original canon too (Wu wanted to make them more tame in order to get them more slow and manageable in the park atmosphere). But blending new species is something completely different, specially when they turn out to be actual and downright monsters. This is not Godzilla.
I second that, Hybrids ruined this franchise. The last think the game needs is more of them.
