personally, one play through of Heavy Rain was more than enough for me. i'd never give it a second go 'round. that being said, if this new JP game has controls inspired by or too similar to Heavy Rain, i'll give it a miss. for Heavy Rain, the story was compelling, but was really marred by hours and hours of absolutely boring gameplay. i'd hate to see Jurassic Park suffer from the same fate.

As long as it has a triceratops battling a T-rex in it, I am getting it, no question.

I'd like to see live video feed of the game being played. Now I'm even more excited to play this game.

This is the first time I'm excited about a Telltale game. With this and The Walking Dead, now I have 2 more games to look forward this year.

What the hell is Sarah doing on the Island? You would think she would tell that to Malcolm in the second movie or book, where she actually encounters dinosaurs for the first time...makes no sense.
I also hope they change the T-Rex voice we heard in the trailer, since that was just ripped out of Dino Crisis and doesnt sound like the one in the movies at all.

Despite all these i cant wait to finally play a new Jurassic Park game.

I had serious doubts about this, but in all honesty, this sounds fantastic. I doubted Telltale's ability to make a dark game but I have been happily proven wrong. Good on them, can't wait to play. I really hope it comes to XBLA

I was thinking the same exact thing. I wonder if they will try to explain it away in some lame roundabout way or if they will just ignore it and claim it as non-cannon with the second movie (being based off the original movie already puts it out of cannon with the books). I personally prefer the second option.

As for the game itself I have high hopes. I wasn't very interested in Heavy Rain, but the setting alone makes me want to give this one a shot.

I was worried it would be some crummy action game even with telltale in the lead but its sounding really awesome

I guess they aren't going to use the new fossil data and turn T-Rex into a mewling, feathered, little ***** scavenger.

Yeah that actually makes sense.
Maybe they could even make their own version of the second story and follow up on this, if these episodes are successful.:O

Speaking as a man who never despised quick-time events to the same degree as the majority of my gaming peers, and never played heavy rain, but would have checked it out if it was for the 360. I can only say, I will be buying this one.

Oh God, there's too much epic in the games of the near future! I'm going to end up sitting in front of the 360 all through next year!

Interesting. But I'm not buying it.

Somehow the first thing to come to mind is a fighting game, at the time when Windows '95 was the hottest shit, where you battled with dinosaurs against dinosaurs. You only had like two different attacks, but it was still great fun at that time.

Okay I'm keen.

Massive fan of the first Jurassic Park film. It still gives me excited chills. If this game maintains the feeling of the film, (and from screenshots it seems like it has at least tried,) it could be very good. I like how it's set during the events of the first film - Harding canon be damned - because it should have the decent into chaos - an aspect that film one had, film two had a bit of and film three... well, they tried.

Interesting to see what Telltale is doing with the beloved 80s/early 90s trilogys. Wonder what's next.

I'm already thinking about how the gameplay would feel like, definitely giving it a try.
