Berry berry interesting, but knowing Telltale they'll blunder their way through a brand new control scheme. Here's hoping they do well enough that people continue to throw franchises at them.

What if all 4 of those developers did the game at once?

the universe would explode and it would be awesome
or the game would really suck, one of those 2

What if the writing was done by Bioware and Telltale, and the gameplay by Relic and Nintendo?

then no one would be allowed to walk anymore, everyone would get around by doing back flips all the time

I agree. Telltale haven't yet disappointed me with any of their games to date, or even any of their episodes, so I have no reason to doubt them on this occasion.

Not much could happen with the can of embryos, despite being lost in a river of mud, there was only enough coolant to last (I think it was) 36 hours.

Never played Heavy Rain, dont own a PS3, but I always thought it looked good. The animated stylings of Sam & Max and Back to the Future were good for those games, but wouldn't make a very scary Jurrasic Park.

Don't worry, I highly doubt Telltale will be going with that same art style this time around. I think the graphical style will probably be closer to that of their CSI games.

Two things:

first, I don't care HOW bad it is may be, I plan on getting this as I am still one of the few... the proud... who believe that Jurassic Park was one of the greatest moments in cinema. Best movie ever. Terrible book-to-movie translation, but as a movie, ignoring the fact it was based off a really good book, it's one of the best, ever.

Second, the link the "Newman's" wikipedia page doesn't have a picture. You guys seriously couldn't look for a page on any website with a picutre? IMDB? I'm disappointed.

I hear you. As a kid I loved dinosaurs, so of course I read Jurassic Park. And man did Genero ever get the shaft in the movie adaptation. In the book he's the best character in there. Yeah he's a lawyer, but he's also a person, a man. He's got a family that he desperately wants to get home to and he'll brave anything to do so. He's limping around clothes torn up, with a lead pipe fighting off the velociraptor pack two or three times, (and killing a couple of them along the way), he runs into dinosaurs he knows nothing about, he dodges the t-rex on multiple occasions, evades hazards like the security system killing him and eventually saves Muldoon (the "clever girl" guy, who in the book survives and teams up with Genero). He's constantly using that nice fat human brain of his, using the lead pipe as a tool, setting up distractions to get around rex and setting traps for the ever pursuing raptor pack. In the book in fact it's Genero who restores the power, using the lead pipe once again to replace the broken lever. Then you get to the movie and he just dies an undignified death cowering on a toilet. He's reduced to a one line joke. "Yeah! We hate lawyers!" I think that was my first real taste of seeing something ruined for the masses to enjoy it.

Anyhow, if you've only seen the movie, this will make no sense to you but, a game starring Genero would be great. It would have all the elements. Stealth segments, exploration, puzzles, sections where you're being pursued, man made and natural hazards and heavy combat with the raptors.

Will it let me blow up Raptors with a bazooka? If so, I'm in.

What are your views on the sequel - The Lost World?

I enjoyed that book immensely, but the movie adaptation was a nightmare! It was less an adaptation of Crichton's work and more a King Kong/Godzilla hybrid with dinosaurs thrown in...

Ok, this is weird. I was just on a christmas vacation in Philippines Coron, and all my brother and I talked about was Jurassic Park since the nature there was kind of familiar to Coron. Then we started talking about why no-one has made a decent Jurassic Park game in such a long time, and we started thinking up an adventure game where you didn't actually shoot any dinosaurs, but rather run away from them and avoid them. And we thought out a moral system to use, where you maybe sacrifice one guy in your team to get your own ass out of harms way etc etc.

And now I read this? I literally did this face when I saw this article: :U

Can't wait.

What's been said about the story now sounds very good to me. More Isla Nublar is a good thing.

Not too sure about Heavy Rain gameplay, but I'm willing to give it a chance. What little HR I've played can't really be described as bad (or just QTEs), and I'm a lot more motivated to try the system out when there are dinosaurs present.

I must have read the book 15-20 times, because I loved it so much. Wouldn't be against a future full adaptation of the book into a video game of some sort.
