Late Jurassic Pack ideas

Just like my Late Cretaceous Pack idea thread ten days ago, this thread focuses on a hypothetical 4+ dino Late Jurassic Pack idea concept, assuming one isn't in developing progress yet.


I have,
5 marine reptile ideas: Ophthalmosaurus, a "mid-sized" ichthyosaur named and known for its extra large eyes. Tatenectes, a small plesiosaur with flattened torso and a shortened neck. Metriorhynchus, a marine crocodilian. Dakosaurus, another marine crocodilian, with a given nickname: Godzilla. Megalneusaurus, a mid-sized pliosaur.

5 pterosaur ideas: Rhamphorynchus, a small pterosaur with a long tail and a mouth full of sharp teeth pointing outward. Pterodactylus, a small pterosaur which was also the first ever pterosaur to be named. Anurognathus, a small insect eating pterosaur. Jeholopterus, another small pterosaur from the same family of Anurognathus, but a bit larger. Cycnorhamphus, a small pterosaur with an unusual beak shape.

15 land dinosaur ideas:
(Sauropods) Brontosaurus, a sauropod that may have not been synonymous with Apatosaurus after all. Barosaurus, a large sauropod. Supersaurus, one of the largest known sauropods. Shunosaurus, a small saurpod with tail club. Europasaurus, a dwarf sauropod. Giraffatitan, a brachiosaur dinosaur from Africa.

(Theropods) Saurophaganax, a large allosaurid. Torvosaurus, another large predator. Yangchuanosaurus, a large theropod with a rounded head. Coelurus, a small theropod that's in the JP/W film series universe via the DPG poster.

(Stegosaurs) Miragaia, a long-necked stegosaur. Dacentrurus, a stegosaur from England. Lexovisaurus, a small stegosaur.

(Other herbivores) Gargoyleosaurus, a very early and small ankylosaur. Camptosaurus, an iguanodont dinosaur.

I like all of these possibilities. Although I wonder, will the other DLC dino packs have two packs per period (Early and Late) or just one? The reason I ask is because the Cretaceous period is so long, 80 million years, that it makes sense to have an Early Cretaceous Pack, and later, possibly, a Late Cretaceous pack. The Triassic and Jurassic are shorter, and dinosaurs weren't even around in the early Triassic. So I wonder if we will just get a Jurassic pack and a Triassic pack.

It's also worth pointing at that, in JWE 1, we got a Cretaceous pack, but that was the only era-specific dino pack. The rest were an herbivore pack, a carnivore pack, etc. Maybe the other DLC dino packs in JWE 2 won't be era-specific?

I don’t know about that. Period only packs are what I see so far. In JWE1, the packs had 3 dinos with each one being from a different continent, all of them only had actual “dinosaur” dinosaurs.

Here, the dinos in the only known prriod based pack so far are not restricted to one continent for each species. Plus, all of JWE2’s packs so far contain all three category types: Land, Aquatic, and Air. And Frontier seems to be making the packs for this game a bit more diverse within the said categories I stated.

Besides, many of the known flying and aquatic reptiles that would be fit for this game were mostly likely carnivorous only, and the herbivores that would fit for this game would be land type dinos only. So, I don’t really see a big reason as to why diet based packs would be a thing for this game so far, especially if they would be limited to only one dino type for them, which I wouldn’t think so.

With both diet based and one dino category type packs seemingly unlikely to me for the particular game, strictly speaking, period based packs are what I see as an only realistic thing for JWE2 dino packs so far. As for “two packs per period”, not every ideal period for this game needs to have two of them. Besides, some I think could be their own unique thing without a specific period half identification like the Triassic and something else I’m saving for next year.

We already have Giraffititan with the standard Brachiosaurus, since it was modeled after Giraffi instead of the real Brachio with the JPIII Brachio being far closer to the real animal. Allosaurus is so oversized it might as well be Saurophaganax.

Not if Frontier finds ways to differentiate them if they choose to consider them, which these dinos might, which was the reason why I chose them. I’ve seen unique reconstructions for the species I choose, as well as related ones, some of which could fit here.

Like TheMightyMegalosaurus already said, we basically already have both.

There is no dinosaur called Brontosaurus.
