Your Top 5 species to return in JWE3.

1. Metriacanthosaurus
2. Suchomimus
3. Amargasaurus
4. Styracosaurus
5. Proceratosaurus

I am trying to avoid some of the more obvious picks, but 5 is too small a number, there are some truly amazing species in the game like Cryolophosaurus, Troodon, and Herrerasaurus that I'd sorely miss if they were cut. I didn't think I even had to mention Compy, Therizinosaurus, or Sinosauropteryx among others. I don't envy Frontier having to make the choice of which animals to cut even if its brutally necessary for the game's long term health.

Not to be harsh or anything, just interest and curious, why Segisaurus and Metriacanthosaurus? Those aren't even found complete in the real world and they were just little words on old posters?

Ontopic:

Hard question, not counting the obvious ones (like Therizinosaurus)

Styracosaurus / Kentrosaurus / Cryolophosaurus / Tapejara / Gigantoraptor

Segisaurus was planned to be in Jurassic Park. As seen on the map and was later successfully cloned for Jurassic World but not seen on-screen.

I'm glad it wasn't in the movies, it is not a complete found dinosaur and Coelophysis is much better for that group

They only used Metriacanthosaurus to sound like they know a lot about dinosaurs, it wasn't even found complete, to this day they only found 1 single bone, why would you use it, let alone find it the most interesting dinosaur? It is a insult to all other dinosaurs to like a dinosaur that is such a random
 
Yeah but same for Titanosaurus. It is only known from a few bones and the size it is shown in the trailer is far from what it is supposed to be. It should be max at 18 m long.

Yeah i love Coelophysis and hope it will return in the base games roster. But don't forget that this is Jurassic World and we will get much of the actual canon- and semi-canon species.

Segisaurus was in that old Jurassic Park brochure making it in some regards the last canon JP species JWE2 lacked until its eventual inclusion. I also think it fits a nice size bracket just between Coelophysis and Compy. Overall I also like what Frontier did with the model of the creature.

Insofar as Metria is concerned, have you seen it with its pattern? It really took off when its design was lifted straight from some promotional artwork used for Jurassic World, the website or something other. The famed paleoartist Julius T. Csotonyi was responsible for this design and Frontier based the in-game model from it. Besides that, Metria was one of the embryos that Nedry stole from Jurassic Park. To move things further along when Jurassic World Evolution was announced it was one of the most striking animals in the trailer.

Personally, Metriacanthosaurus is my favorite medium-sized carnivore in the game and I feel its loss would be devastating. It helps that Frontier also has a soft spot for UK species, so I feel confident Metria will stay because it has a lot of indirect relevance to the franchise and has its taken on an elevated status thanks to the JWE series. Similar to Segi, I'd also argue that Metria fits a niche size and has a unique aesthetic that adds a lot to its appeal and its skins/pattern are great and varied.

Finally, if we are talking about known complete skeletons then we have a pretty high bar where very few species would be in the game at all, most dinosaurs are only known from some fragments to begin with so I don't think that is fair to exclude Segi or Metria from the game on that basis.
 
I'm not sure if I should include multiple species per order (as accordingly from JWE2 DLCS), but I'm gonna do it. Here are the non-canon species I think should return alongside all movie and novel canon species:
  • Diplodocus
  • Nigersaurus
  • Amargasaurus
  • Utahraptor and Gigantoraptor
  • Yutyrannus, Deinocheirus, Sinosauropteryx, and Jeholopterus
 
Here are the top 5 I wish hold a spot when they return in the new game.

• Gigantoraptor
• Amargasaurus
• Deinocheirus
• Utahraptor
• Sinosauropteryx

These 5 are made by going over the roster and choosing animals that are not canon or mentioned/shown in the JP&W media, not part of JPOG, and are not or part of the hybrids.

I am eager to see if any further updates are to be made to the roster that are returning to their models and such. I am hopeful that Maiasaura returns to finally get the game to make her a good mother lizard. I also LOVE the Nigersaurus since JWE, but I really hope that this game would shrink down the animal's size to the more accurate 9 meters instead of the current 14. I love that animal, but I find her too big to enjoy in my parks personally.

Also, I would love to see chasmosaurs return too, she would be a strong addition in this list.
