I doubt the average player would notice or care too much. If it weren't for Jurassic Park movies, most people would only know of a handful of dinosaur species, and even then wouldn't know their true sizes.

As I've stated before in the following thread https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php/442862-Important-News-about-Dinosaur-Sizing/page8 adjusting the sizes to Ceratosaurus and Giganotosaurus might be excusable, but the proposed size adjustments for Tyrannosaurus and Spinosaurus are completely off, and no, Giganotosaurus and Spinosaurus should not be larger than Tyrannosaurus at all.
If I'm not wrong I think dilophosaurus already has human height.
They aren't larger. They are longer. The Giga would still be significantly lighter than the Rex. T-Rex is generally considered to be about 40 feet at maximum, with Giganotosaurus considered to be about 43 feet. Spinosaurus dwarfs both of these at 49 feet (general estimate) and 59 feet (2014 estimate).
I would also point out that 13.5 meters is nearly 45 feet. Based upon the claim of both the T-Rex and the Giga being 13.5 meters they are both way above their observed natural length.

People really dont understand when people are saying that when we discuss the size of Giganotosaurus and Spinosaurus compared to Tyrannosaurus Rex its length. Both were vastly thinner than T-rex. But they're not understanding it and are raging over that now. No point in discussing it with them either. They called us spiteful about the Giga and Spino when the game launched and said that it was the right size. And now we're spiteful because they're fixing the sizes :^)
Now they are finally improving their size while compacting the T-rex abit and now its all "horribly wrong". [haha]
I am incredibly grateful about the Size changes to the carnivores, really great stuff there! Now i do agree that the last step in this bit would be to change some of the herbivore sizes as pointed out very early in this forum. It does really make them quite interchangeable when they look so very much alike and are also the same size. I made my first styraco today, even though ive played for over a 100 hours, dunno how i missed that one cuz i honestly do like that dino, esp paired with triceratops, but when i made it i was quite surprised to see that it was basically almost the same size as a trike. As far as i remember it's nearly half the size of one, tho obviously i cant say with any real certainty. Either way, agreed whole heartedly that ornithomimids, stegosaurids and ceratopsids need some resizing to make them stand out more rather than being so very identical and interchangeable. I don't know if ankylosaurids have the same problem, i think i see a bit more variance in their size, but then i also don't know much about their exact realistic dimensions, and something similiar can be said for hadrosaurs, i think they're fine, they might not be exactly, but they havent bothered me much as i generally find them quite distinct. I do want my gorgeous grayish brown, black and orange Ouranosaurus though!
You know, the new ceratosaurus size is great. The original size did not bother me, I would prefer the suchomimus to be big. The sucho is kinda small in my opinion. The sucho should at least be somewhat be big, but smaller compared to the T-rex and giga. Perhaps make the sucho the size of the original giga size. What do you guys think?
Suchomimus has the right size. It is larger than the medium carnivores and smaller than the four large carnivores.
As for Ceratosaurus, I see it still too big. It should be about the size of a Metriacanthosaurus. Even so, with the reduction in size it is better than before it that was gigantic.
well, it's the scripted animation fights, I think, they have to be all closer in size to one another. Sort of the system they went with. Beefed up a lot of the smaller ceratops and stegosaurs for sure.
so the small carnivores are left with kind of the short stick, there aren't many and they only can fight each other.

First, let me note that it's once again established that T-Rex was indeed the largest known theropod (and Spinosaurus doesn't really make the list of the largest theropods anymore). See video below. Second, in the Jurassic-universe, T-Rex (at 13.4 meters long and with a taller height and heavier weight) is still larger than Spino (at 13.1 meters long). See picture below. Case closed.

My god....We still whining about the damn dino sizing its over they fixed it.....and plus that top 5 video is crap and plus you really took all that time to photo shopped that stupid photo and put spinosaurus in there you shrunk the spinosaurus......Priceless....Just Priceless....and plus i think that post is a negativity of HATING spinosaurus. What the hell caused you to be mister Smartass think your smarter than anything else So no i dont believe that trex is the biggest.....so Shut Up and get over with it.....
absolutely agree thank you.
