They also said they couldn't resize dinosaurs.
Kidding, kidding!
(P.S. Styracosaurus needs a resize, just sayin'.)
Agree he's a lil small in my opinion

Factually speaking, the Styracosaurus is actually a bit big... although not nearly as oversized as the Chasmosaurus...
Yes pretty much all the Ceratopsids are oversized, not undersized.
Small hybrids pack?
They could include some cool add ad as Bulbasaur, Charmander and Squirtle!
I suppose they will be greatly appreciated by all the people who had enjoyed the Secrets of Dr. Wu dlc!

No more hybrids!!
... I wish it were that easy, but Uni are pulling the strings with this game.
I like how some Universal execs have attempted to create the impression that dino/dino splicing in more recent times was a result of the target audience being fatigued with more realistic depictions of dinosaurs (the vast majority of JP dinosaurs were simply a result of "frog DNA just filling in the gene sequence gaps"). It's the stories and most of the characters that have gone stale and uninspired.
Dino/Dino splicing exists only because of trademark purposes. Yeah, "Ankylodocus" is making some people money.
And Universal execs can't trademark Tyrannosaurus rex and other familiar prehistoric animals. Hybrids were never ever ever an idea or in any sort of demand until someone at the studio "brilliantly" made them a thing (I'd love to look into a crystal ball to see how that whole 'epiphany' came about ).
Basically, we're stuck with hybrids as long as a very tiny group of people can benefit financially from the forced exposure. There's no escape, even in a dino park building game. That's sad...

^ When is "my boy" Pachycephallosaurus going to get added?
Sorry, Uni. I've already filed trademark on that one too. You've gotta be quick or we're going to take them all.

Man, I'm hoping they'll add Allosinosaurus soon or later because that is one of my personal favorites.
What a monstrosity.
That's even worse than the Stegoceratops. That frill just looks glued on.

I prefer Tapwing's take on the Stegoceratops:

Pretty sure the fake looking "dinosaurs" we actually got in the Jurassic series were never ever in demand either... but there they are, ignoring real-world science and making them faker looking with every new movie...
Simplest explanation; someone realized the Jurassic franchise was about cloning extinct animals by mixing fragmented DNA and creating artificial animals that resemble dinosaurs. Combine that idea with an ambitious geneticist with no present limitations, legal or moral, and you have the basic elements of a story about the inevitable chaos that follows blind ambition and meddling in dangerous powers, which is more in line with what the original Jurassic Park novel was than literally any of the Jurassic Park movies...(I'd love to look into a crystal ball to see how that whole 'epiphany' came about
Yes... there is an escape... it's called "play a different game"...
Yeah... now you're just being a fool...
First of all, I highly doubt you trademarked anything, second... what is that even, Pachycephalosaurus with an extra "L" in it? Third, even if you could trademark literally every combination of dinosaur names, what's stopping them from creating a new name like Indominus? Fourth, this is an internet forum... I don't think anyone of relevance to Universal and the Jurassic movie franchise is paying attention...

Not counting Jurassic Park franchise (Chaos Effect toys), games with hybrid dinosaurs date all the way back to the DOS system before Crichton had even written the book.

Those fake looking "dinosaurs" were mostly in-line with what the general populous may expect a skeletal reconstruction turned CGI/Animatronic extinct animal to look like. It's relative to many of the understandings of the times. Even the dromaeosaur appearance that's been popularized by the Jurassic franchise falls in-line with real life findings. They are gmo's through cloning and all that, but if anyone were to see one of those animals in the wild today, I don't think the reaction would be "Science must have created that freak creature". They're mostly believable in appearance throughout the film universe, not accounting for the more relatively recent understanding of feathers.
I'm not looking for spot-on scientific accuracy, but the original two/three films depicted them moreso as animals (Spino more a hybrid monster with a personal grudge). Even the spliced-up Dilo wasn't some little pychopath, it displayed behavioral traits that were grounded in reality. As far as demand goes, the animals in the films are presented to us as dinosaurs. They are not referred to by any other name (outside of Dr. Grants one JP3 quote). The other creatures, however, are clearly stated to be and presented to the viewers as 'hybrids'.
What we understand to be dinosaurs have been in relative demand as far back as the mid/late 1800's, and made it onto a motion picture as soon as cinema became a thing over a hundred years ago. That's dozens of live-action and stop-motion films, well before Jurassic Park was a thought bubble. And then we can go on to 2D animated works, books, art, museums, etc. Dinosaurs have always been in demand as long as people have been aware of them, and especially after many-a-reconstruction with complete/mostly complete remains have been made. Once again, the animals in these films are clearly presented to the audience as "dinosaurs". Some of them have their little quirks for plot purposes, but the fact remains. Spielberg and co., enabled by newer technologies, made them even more mainstream through far greater visual advancements and mass distribution methods internationally, but that doesn't negate all other dinosaur-related works (on the global stage) that many people grew up with over the decades leading up to Crichton's book turned franchise.
Which resulted in what? A trademark being plugged in, propped, killed off, and merch'd, only to be replaced with another trademark.... that was killed off after being plugged, propped, and merch'd. Why share the wealth with pre-existing rights holders when you can file for and have your own royalties, right... ?
Ok, you took that harmless little joke, that had absolutely nothing to do with you or anyone associated with this forum, really personally there. I'm confused.
Anyway, I get it, you are enamored enough with hybrid creatures to the point of going out of your way to put up a defense in that concepts favor. Good?
I have never followed the toylines, so I wasn't aware of those. Hybrid toys aimed for kids seems about appropriate though. Like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, which dates back to the mid-80's. I was referring to the initial idea of hybrids as it relates to the film universe anyhow. I'd like to think that "Stegoceratops" and the like was never realized on the big screen because whoever is involved knows how utterly silly that stuff is to the general audience. So, they are relegated to toys and games primarily for kids. Indominus, on the other hand, was at least way more creative as it's not just two dino's stitched together.
I can't believe that I'm even having this discussion.
Anyway... Stegomoloch. It's nothing fancy. It's just an adult Stegosaurus wielding a groggy, yet adoreable, thagomizer-mountable Stygimoloch for super-duper damage to everything in its path!!

I want more hybrids because I want make Isla Muerta the island of Monsters but I can't because I don't have enough hybrids.
They said the same about hybrids.
That hybrid looks too alien for me. Much prefer to stop with the hybrids.
I may be in the minority, here, anyway, but I adore the hybrid concept; maybe it’s the Godzilla fan in me speaking out, maybe it’s the curiosity of playing Dr. Frankenstein, but there’s something awe-inspiring about combing either two beautiful herbivores, or shoving together two deadly carnivores, transcends the very notion of cool.
Having said all this, I still favor the tyrannosaurus over all other dinos.
