What do you guys think about hybrids in JWE?

It is more confirmed that we will have hybrids in the game, and we can see in gameplay footages that you can create hybrids, but there is only one slot in research, and it is probably Indominus. With the Fallen Kingdom DLC the Indoraptor will come to the game.
So, what do you guys think about hybrids in Jurassic World Evolution? Do you think it's a good idea to put hybrids in the game? Will you put them in your park? Will Indominus and Indoraptor be the only ones in the game or will a DLC come with new hybrids? Let's talk.
 
For me they are not dinosaurs. Useless but ... maybe curious to see a hybrid at least once.

Pour moi ce ne sont pas des dinosaures. Inutile mais ... peut-être curieux de voir un hybride au moins une fois.

Personally I'm fine with the hybrids; I don’t mind them but I am having a bit of hard time (with exception to the Indominus rex) as to how they can be exhibited outside of Isla Nublar when compared to the real dinosaurs.

However we can’t just have two, the Indominus rex and Indoraptor shouldn’t be the only ones when considering that they are both carnivores and the latter can be easily argued as just a variation of the Indominus.

Regardless of their appearance, I believe Frontier should at least provide players the option to make the other hybrids that Dr. Wu was working on in the Hammond Creation Lab; Stegoceratops and the unidentified Pachycephalosaur and Therizinosaur hybrids.

I agree with you, Frontier would not be such an idiot to do just these two. I think Stegoceratops will be too, but I do not like him. He is a monster, the head of Triceratops in the body of a Stegosaurus. But I like Indominus and Indoraptor, they look more like dinosaurs. If Frontier creates new hybrids, I hope they are not that monstrosity that Stegoceratops is.
 
I like some of the Hybrids, I just hope that there are not some weird random ones that make no sense. One thing that I am happy about is that you can not combine different DNA to make whatever hybrid you want.

I agree. I expect Frontier to create creative hybrids that do not look like monsters like the hybrids of Jurassic World The Game that mixed carnivores and herbivores, like Giganocephalus. I expect simpler hybrids like Triceratops + Styracosaurus, Carnotaurus + Allosaurus + Ceratosaurus ... There are so many possibilities Frontier can do, I agree with more hybrids, but as long as they are simple, they may look like dinosaurs and not movie horror monsters.
 
I think with indominus rex and indoraptor is enough, i wanna play Jurassic World, no Hybrid World...
 
I'm only gonna have I-rex and the Indoraptor since they look atleast a bit realistic compared to stegoceratops or the others like the ultimosaurus... won't even consider adding other possible future hybrids to my park.

A while ago they actually said that you are not going to be able to create random hybrides, just the few that are sanctioned by them
 
Not too huge a fan of hybrids... would rather have real dinosaurs... but then, seeing as how even non-movie canon dinosaurs are getting warped to fit with the fantasy canon, I feel like any negative opinion on hybrids may be moot; what's the point of getting upset about hybrids when even the "real" ones are pretty fake?

That said, with all we know in regards to what animals are appearing in the base game, its seeming more than likely now that they'll be sticking to movie canon hybrids for the time being... I could see them adding hybrid DLC down the line, but for now the Indominus, and later the Indoraptor may be the only ones we see...
 
[haha] ...the number of people here (on the forums) that are seemingly against anything modern or cenozoic in the way of creatures because they're 'not Dinosaurs' and yet the mere thought of hybrids (which aren't really Dinosaurs either - at least as far as evolution is concerned) is accepted? There's an element of hypocritical irony in here somewhere.

As per the question though; I'm all for them being included, so long as...

  1. there aren't too many of the same
  2. hybrids aren't given priority over actual dinosaurs
  3. hybrids aren't fashioned too obviously on their ancestors (the traditional Stegceratops for example, just looks silly and super-unnatural)
I don't particularly plan to use many of them though - if any. I can't imagine I'll be investing much, if anything, into Hybrid DLC packs.

There were no such animals the JP lore so don't expect them in the game. If you want modern animals than you will have to go play Zoo Tycoon.
 
I personally don´t like hybrids in general. "Real" dinosaurs are interesting and cool enough. But I see the point that the filmmakers have to do some new tricks and want to attract the sensation cool 12y olds of these times. According to me that is understandable but I´m disappointed that the "real" dinosaurs don´t seem to be enough these days. Especially in this game with so many different species of them, much more than in JPOG.

I generally won´t have any hybrids in my park, I will however create every hybrid once to see him in live or to fulfill given tasks, but then i will daze them and let other carnivores eat them :D
 
Hybrids of Dinosaurs. Not Mammoths or modern day animals. It's pointless to even ask for them.
Your argument is irrelevant as (other than the I-Rex and Indoraptor) they don't exist within the JPW. There are games already, heavily based around JPW which do feature cenozoic creatures.

Admittedly, at the time, the T-Rex was probably the biggest and bad carnivore to put into film, alongside the (modified) raptors (which should, if I'm not mistaken, have been the Deinonychus/Utahraptor?) the exception was the Spino (again modified) in JP3.

It's a shame they couldn't have done something with a Carno or two, or even an Allosaurous pack. I get the wow-factor of the I-Rex and all that, but we could equally have done without it; a simple (yet different) carnivore would have done the trick with a decent script for the first (and second) JW film.
