First Look at Jurassic Park Gameplay

Lisa Foiles talks to the producer of Telltale Games' Jurassic Park and gets a first look at the console-based gameplay.

So... a quick time events filled cgi movie?

 

[Chrono212]

No such thing as too much Jurassic Park...

Spoiler

OT: I think it looks quite good for what it is. Jurassic Park isn't the easiest IP to translate into games but Telltale did a damn good job for Back to the Future.

 

[8bitmaster]

it sounds like an interesting idea. I want to see it finished, and reviewed.

 

[Corpse XxX]

This game looks like its made for playstation 2 or something..
Looks very bad, graphics, facial animation and everything..

 

[Furioso]

It looks awful. The facial animations, writing, voice acting, action, controls, and grapics all look horrendous.

I was fully prepared to say "oh it doesn't look that bad" but then I saw the video.... it really does look awful.... so much disapointment

 

[Serving UpSmiles]

Cool they stil make games for the game cube!!!!!!

 

[emeraldrafael]

Well... Aside from it suffering from a case of uglies, it looks interesting enough.

Then again I'm a fan of JP, so I'd buy it regardless.

 

[Sunrider]

It looks horrid in my opinion. Not much interest here, sadly.
Except for Lisa Foiles! *nomnom*

 

[Prof. Monkeypox]

Everybody's pointing out that it looks awful (and it does), but that wouldn't matter so much if the gameplay looked more interesting than QTEs, or the writing/voice acting was any good. Also, and this is personal taste, the subtitles in neon pink/green were hideous.

So... a quick time events filled cgi movie?

Well, isn't that similar to Heavy Rain? That turned out pretty well.

The sound quality for this seemed really off. Not so much the voice acting but rather the actually recording quality. Perhaps they are just place holder voices or somesuch.

 

[CrystalShadow]

Huh. So... This seems to get a lot of coverage, while Back to the future barely got mentioned when it was launched.

How do these decisions get made exactly? XD

 

[Smokej]

wasted license, im still waiting for a stalkeresque survival simulation in this setting (kinda like a non crappy Trespasser)

Nod without any relation to whatever he said much Lisa?

Game looks really unatrracticve, nothing special about it.

The nodding is an interview technique. It shows the person you're interviewing you are paying attention and encourages them to keep talking. Though in Lisa's case its more exaggerated than most interviewers.

 

[Random berk]

Oh, this doesn't look very appealing. I'd assume they were going to give it a major visual improvement, but if its coming out in April...
Anyone know what format this game will be in? Will it be a cheap dlc, or a full priced disc?

 

[Captain Bobbossa]

tbh, it looks pretty crap.

 

[epikAXE]

it looks like Heavy Rain controls but with dinosaurs (good) but it looks like arse (bad)

 

[DenUrs]

Oh my eyes!!!! My beautiful eyes!!!
