They based on Jurassic World 2. The fact that allosaurus, sinoceratop, baryonyx in JWE is more different from their real skeletons (allosaurus with long skull and weird horn, baryonyx with strange skull, sinoceratop with 2 holes in head). But people can't required devs made them look right as they should be because this is Juradsic World Evolution not Dinosaur World Evolution.
I know, let me just rephrase the question: Which Allosaurus species in the JW Allosaurus based off from?
Or did they just make a entirely fictional species of Allosaurus with no basis for some of the design choices...
I wish whoever designed these fictional cloned dinosaurs would at least give the fans more information on the
designs.

I should say it is a Saurophaganax aká "Allosaurus Maximus". It is too big. 12m long and 3.6m height is totally oversized. 10m long and 3m height is so much better for Allosaurus size.
I would prefer the classic"Allosaurus fragilis" but this is not the case.

I totally agree... I was fiddling in sandbox mode, pitting all of the large carnivores against each other to get an idea of how strong each one was compared to the others. The order from strongest to weakest seems to be as follows:
-Indominus Rex
-Indoraptor
-Allosaurus
-Tyrannosaurus rex
-Spinosaurus
-Giganotosaurus
-Carnotaurus
-Suchomimus
-Majungasaurus
-Ceratosaurus
-Baryonyx
-Metriacanthosaurus
Why the Allo of all things is the strongest non-hybrid carnivore is beyond me, i think it would be more fitting for the Allo to be stronger than the Carno, but weaker than the Giga.
So it should be. I do not know why they did not change their statistics with the 1.4 update. It does not make sense that it is more powerful than a T-Rex. We hope that they lower it for the next patch, that changes in two minutes.
The Indoraptor should not be that high either. No matter how intelligent any great carnivore is, he would destroy it with his jaws.
It might be because Allosaurus taxonomy is based on incomplete specimens. I'm guessing, due to it's size, it's based off of A. amplexus
"A. amplexus was named by Gregory S. Paul for giant Morrison allosaur remains, and included in his conception Saurophagus maximus (later Saurophaganax). A. amplexus was originally coined by Cope in 1878 as the type species of his new genus Epanterias, and is based on what is now AMNH 5767, parts of three vertebrae, a coracoid, and a metatarsal. Following Paul's work, this species has been accepted as a synonym of A. fragilis. A 2010 study by Paul and Kenneth Carpenter, however, indicates that Epanterias is temporally younger than the A. fragilis type specimen, so is a separate species at minimum."
But...
"The issue of synonyms is complicated by the type specimen of Allosaurus fragillis (catalogue number YPM 1930) being extremely fragmentary, consisting of a few incomplete vertebrae, limb bone fragments, rib fragments, and a tooth. Because of this, several scientists have noted that the type specimen, and thus the genus Allosaurus itself or at least the species A. fragillis, is technically a nomen dubium ("dubious name", based on a specimen too incomplete to compare to other specimens or to classify)."

So, yeah, they Frankensteined something together. It looks pretty damn cool anyway.
