This game is based on JP lore so they can do basically anything they want to the Dinosaurs. Just cause it isn't represented in bone doesn't mean it's not there. Maybe it wasn't a bony crest.
Delay in Deinonychus.

Its just a computer game at the end of the day with genetically engineered dinos, am not too fussed about 'factual accuracy'. I mean new discoveries are made every day and the science is constantly changing. The dinos could be 'factually accurate' right now but a year, 5 years or 10 years down the line they could be completely inaccurate. Bring on the crested deinonychus I say.

Exactly that, if they had the dinosaurs on the game with feathers, it wouldn’t feel like Jurassic Park to me.
While we are at it and probably off at a slight tangent and probably wrong, but are any actually dinos named down to species level in game yet ? Am probably about to show my lack of Jurassic Park lore here. So far with a quick look at the research page and some of the 'species profiles' I have only seen the Tyrannosaurus rex mentioned down to species level. The rest that I can see are only named down to the genus level. Even on the so called species profiles they usually just mention 'is a genus', without mentioning a species name. Kentrosaurus, Sauropelta, Tsintoasaurus, Spinosaurus all mentioned genuses but no mention of the actual species name. Are the species in game actual real life species or new made up species closely related to 'real life' species in the same genus. Am wondering if this whole argument about 'factual accuracy' for a species is even a valid argument ? Am probably over thinking it and probably just rambling.
Just rewatched the rex species profile and it now annoys me that I have noticed it..... Says 'Tyrannosurus rex is a genus...' No thats down to species level not a genus lol.

This is how the Deinonychus would be look in the game, after all all species which don't appear in the movies are almost scientificaly correct, so why not it ?
Because the scientists still cannot create dinosaurs with feathers, it's one of the main foundations of the JP/JW lore, all dinoasaurs will look scaly.
How many times does this have to be repeated until you finally get it?
While feather dromaeosaurids maybe factually accurate (as far as we know). I do agree that full on feathered dinosaurs IS NOT part of JP/JW lore - so they should not be in the game.
The Dr.Wu's team of scientists ever came to creating feathered dinosaurs was the raptors of JP3 - and those only had a few quills on the top of the head and down the back of the neck. This is also reason I think the JP3 raptors would have been a good game model for Deinonychus - because they do look a bit different that the typical JP/JW Velociraptors. Even if they had kept them the same length as the JP3 raptors - about 4 meters /13 feet long, 1.7 meters/5.6 feet tall.

So if a non feathered deino can be lore, and therefore is scientifically inaccurate, why couldnt a crested deino also be lore, and therefore be similiary scientifically inaccurate ? I mean we have never seen a deino in JP/JW ? Have we ?
So, they can create a 80-90% accurate Nodosaurus or Suchomimus (while they would be in a JP/JW style) but they can't create a feathered raptor species (and we know that Deinonychus as feathers, there some feathers attachment on the tail) ? Even your reasoning don't have sense (without being meant). Even Jurassic World Alive made beautiful feathered species (Lythronax, Pyroraptor, Proceratosaurus, ...) and some dinosaurs have as good models and scientific aspect as this game (like Nodosaurus or Suchomimus for example), I think that these devs can just make the effort that the mobiles games did, at least for the species which don't appear in the movie, I understand that they made the Velociraptor or the Tyrannosaurus rex like this but for the other it's completely incomprehensible, especially for a big dev team like this ...
I'm so tired of having to repeat myself over and over to you, Frontier said from the beginning that they would stay true to the lore, unlike Jurassic World Alive, so that means NO FEATHERS!
If they really follow the lore like you said, all the dinosaur will have a Jurassic Park or Jurassic World style, and that not the case, does that mean that the devs doesn't repect what they said ? In any case, that not a good work from them
You are saying something that I haven't said about the devs and for the last time, there will be no feathers in the game because Dr. Wu's scientists aren't able to recreate them, that's what the lore says about feathers and nothing else.
In what way do you see those species that aren't in the movies that Frontier created together with Universal not have a Jurassic park/world look? They look scaly to me without any feathers.
You keep saying because they look scientifically correct than they should also add feathers, they cannot do it and if they cannot do it they cannot add feathers, I really hope you get it.
Anyway that's all I have to say about it and just like your feathers thread I will now ignore this thread.

What dimension do you live in where the dinosaurs aren't in the JP style? Because in this dimension they still are. It's been said in the IGN videos, the designs for the dinosaurs are a blend of real science in some aspects and Jurassic Park science in others. That's why we don't see feathered dinosaurs, but see dinosaurs like Edmontosaurus with a comb. Or to focus back on Deinonychus, it looks like it does because Frontier went in the direction of older concepts with it, which we do see in the JP Franchise (Giraffatitan still being called Brachiosaurus, for example, and Stygimoloch and Dracorex being their own species rather than the younger stages of Pachy).
As soon as I talk about feathered dinosaurs people flee here ... wow that become to be scary x)
but anyway, I see the video and I'm not ok with this, if devs would do a good work, they would do all the dinosaur with a JP style like the dinosaurs creatures like on the movies, or they do all which are not in the movie accurate, they just did the half of their work, that here too the problem, is not only that they don't add feathers, is that they don't even respect what they said before
Everyone find this Deinonychus totally ugly, and IT will be the possibility to have just one feathered dinosaur in the game, with feathers it will be different of the JP velociraptor thing as they tried to do with this shark-lizard monster

All I see is an opinion. Frontier is not obligated to cater to you or any of us. The Deinonychus is not going to make or break them. It is ugly. I've grown used to it, but that doesn't change my opinion. The Deinonychus is pretty ugly. Even so, it still fits the JP style. Feathered doesn't though. Frontier chose to go with the style of JP over accuracy in a Jurassic Park video game, and if you're not okay with that, well then I'm not sure what I can do for you. I'm okay with the choice. Don't like how it looks, but I'm supportive of the choice. You want things to be so absolute, black and white. You can handle a little gray, in this case, roosterboi Deinonychus.

Scientific accuracy if I remember from the books is something that people/visitors just didn’t want. I think they said their scientists had to tweak the dino dna to slow them down since they behaved like a sped up movie, make them more audience appealing or something. People wanted to see dinos they grew up knowing. The crest to me just doesn’t seem to fit or make sense. I don’t remember seeing any skulls/drawings that would even suggest a crest, but we do have a spitting Dilophosaurus and a large velociraptor, so people seem to want the JP lore. Since the game is sticking to JP lore I don’t see any feathered dinos in the future. They even said that these are not real dinos since their genes have been spliced and combined with other animals to make them more palatable to visitors. I for one would not want to see dinosaurs with feathers even if it was scientifically accurate. I would rather stay in my fantasy. We don’t have that long now so I guess we will see what they come up with. Super excited!
But why can't they make one raptor feathered? I though the Deinoychus was a Guanlong when I first saw it.
Your definition of JP style is actually JP Movie style. Some of Mobile JP/JW raptors have feathers such as the Utahraptor and the Pyroraptor.
Being supportive of the current Deinonychus style is a opinion and people have the right to criticize a design since we pay for these games and movies.
These raptors look more interesting if they were feathered. At least some raptor species need to be depicted being feathered.

Unless Universal specifically told them no feathers, no reason they can't. It becomes a matter of want then. Does Frontier want feathers? Based on the videos of the game, it suggests that they decided against feathers, probably to maintain that Jurassic Park feel (it's also consistent with the lore, in that meddling with the genetics actually resulted in lack of feathers).
I haven't a doubt in my mind that feathered dinosaurs is something they discussed, especially for Deinonychus. It just appears feathers is a route Frontier chose not to take.
They can still change the appearance of the Deinonychus and simply say that Ingen managed to discover a large amount of Deinonychus dna.
Enough complaints sometimes leads into gaming companies changing certain things. In fact Frontier should have never added the Deinonychus in the
game if they were going to add a crest and a probably outdated skull design. But I believe they will change the design since many have been complaining
about the aesthetic choice.
