First looks at JP: The Game reactions. Post yours!
Hey all. I just pre-ordered the game and I've been following it for a while. I know we've all be psyched for this since us JP fans haven't gotten a good survival game ever (TLW game goesn't count in my eyes, it was merely a dodge everything 3d side-scroller ). However there's a couple things I noticed that I figured might lead to some fun discussion.
1. Harding doesn't have his mustache. I know in another thread someone said he might have shaved after we saw him in the movie, and he did apparently have to go get his daughter.
2. Why does the T-Rex in this sound like the Rex from Dino Crisis? The JP T-Rex roar is one of the most iconic character sounds I can think of. No matter what other movie/show uses it (mainly stuff on Syfy), I always think of Jurassic Park.

2/ There's a whole thread of arguing devoted to that here, please don't start another one.
3/ Glad that your looking forward to the game and welcome to the forums
How so?!
As has been pointed out elsewhere, after meeting Ellie, Harding immediately ran to his jeep and lost the mustache, to make sure he had a shot!!! He was in WOVE...:p;):mad:
:mad:
BTW, he also de-aged about 10 years, his voice went up several octaves and his nose grew by about a foot, (much like Natalie Portman, although with her it took about a decade).
When I heard TellTale was making a Jurassic Park game i got excited.
When I saw the types of game TellTale made I got worried but was hopefull.
When I saw the screen shots from the game I got excited.
When I heard it was going to be like Heavy Rain I was like HELL YEAH!
When I saw the trailer I was still excited but was confused as to why the wrong roar was used for the T-Rex.
When I saw the gameplay footage I put all worries aside. Cause I like the style and story and I think it's going to be awesome.
That's what I was thinking. They don't need to make him look exactly like in the movie. At leas he looks like he could be around the same age.
Y'know, I thought that I was the biggest Jurassic Park fan of all time, but since I can't write a response better than your great posts, I'll grant you the title.
I would like to thank RexMaster and all the great members at the TellTale forums for this great honnor of being the biggest Jurassic Park fan of all time. I would like to thank Michael Crichton for the amazing novels. I would also like to thank Steven Spielberg and Universal and everyone else involved with the making of Jurassic Park one, two and three. I would also like to thank Hasbro for the awesome toys, Dreamworks and Ocean for the awesome games, and Universal Studios, Florida for the ride (sorry I snuck my camera on but I had to get a video of that T-Rex).
And I would like to congratulate TellTale for being able to create a game based off Jurassic Park and expand on it's universe. I can't wait to play it. I'm sure it'll be awesome.
.... too much? lol
Omg, it was also an honor to see my name in ur thank you speech! You so deserved this ward WotW! U r my idol!
BTW, I take it that other guy was hating on Trespasser. All I gotta say is that, although there were a few errors generated by that game, you cant blame the fact that you never learned how to turn on your computer on the Tres team!
As for the roar, it didn't bother me. But my sister who was watching it along with me, right after hearing the roar, popped off and said, "That was cheesy" I asked her what was, and she responded, "The T-Rex's roar, it sounded like a wookie."
What masses? The masses haven't noticed Jurassic Park since about 1999!
BTW, video game cannon and movie cannon are two different things anyway, so the game is not going to totally match what was in the films...
He specifically states the "TLW game"...

which was pretty much the equivalent of being bitten on the tit by Paul Kirby while he's wearing nothing but a fluffy yellow duck costume, then developing irritation on one's nipple due to the nipple being stabbed by Paul's bristly mustache hair.

Yes, but Trespasser is the best and most noticable for it. Also, ive been in this scenario with Paul Kirby and it was rather memorable and not too bad... Btw, did i ask for your input, ma'am?
Davies and WaroftheWorlds... my two favorite people on these forums... EXCEPT ALAN BECAUSE HE IS THE BEST!
that is just more of a reason to try to appeal them.
Well, you obviously need someone's input, thing, since this entire response was inaccurate, (except for the Paul Kirby part)! :cool:
I don't think de-aging Gerry Harding slightly is going to matter one way or the other...what we need is a great JP4, hopefully directed by Spielberg...but that's not going to happen...
I'm OK with there not being a private forum for Jurassic Park. I never liked the exclusive forum concept anyway. Game info, concept art, gameplay videos, sound samples, Q&A with the team and "stars", and last not least contests are instruments of marketing - there's absolutely no reason to put that stuff in a thread for people who have already bought the game! Price cuts and exclusive store deals, that seems to be rather valid for pre-orderers...
...which I'm not this time around.
You must've been watching the trailer for a different game... I went to GDC in San Francisco on Wed and i will tell you, that when I played that game, even though I had already seen the gameplay online from the other SFO meeting, it was very fun to play. It therefore not only has replay value, but I found that it was true to the Jurassic Park film. I appreciate your hard work Telltale,and I am hoping some of these less understanding people will too by April! :cool:
I know you are trying to say that both are probably not going to happen... BUT IMAGINE IF YOU DID SEE THEM ON THE SAME DAY! It would be an amazing day... one of those days that you feel like you could pants a cop and get away with it.
That is the damn truth.
Murray, is like me full of sarcasm.
But honestly, JP IV may not happen for another 8 years or so because that was the break between Last Crusade and Crystal Skull.
Hudson was cool though. He seemed like a very down to earth guy. I got a picture with him. It was awesome. lol And my brother in law got his signature.
GLEE! Jurassic Park looks like Jurassic Park!
*groans* The T-rex "roar"
PC/Mac? No PS3?
Fortunately, everything has been saying that they are going to try to bring it to consoles, so I still have hope. And I'll at least try the demo when it comes out. I really am going to be spending so much of the game finding all the different ways to die!
One thing that I've been considering...the BttF game trailer was just for Episode 1. The JP trailer and gameplay shows a lot, so is it just Episode 1? If so, then it's a very big Episode 1.
Just seems like a huge step backwards in the evolution of gameplay.
Can you describe more about the mechanics of the action sequences? Do you get to move the character around for those, or is movement on rails and you're just responding to directions as to what buttons/keys to press when?
I think if the whole "exploration"-element of gameplay is simplified to moving the analog-stick around the scene and get every possible interaction highlighted then there should at least be room for solving puzzles or getting through the scenes in several different ways. what makes out a game is interactivity and of course it's a matter of design HOW that interaction finally looks like. but if a game is reduced to a simple watching and clicking the provided buttons in the correct order we have nothing more than a navigation like through the menu of a DVD or BluRay. that's not innovative, that's primitive.
so for the scene with the Triceratops it would be nice if there's a different solution than using the horn of the jeep. maybe if the horn isn't used the T-Rex won't show up because he's not lured by the noise.
I know! The sequences dont seem slow at all even though it is a Telltale game or even though there is a fast travel thing and all!
YES! I agree that the death scenes are great! Also, I'm sorry you didn't get hired, maybe next time of you could visit thier office with a better offer at San Rafael. The action sequences were an utter delight!!
I guess Telltale pulled through so far since they promised you wont have time to think and it'll actually feel like Jurassic Park. Unfortunately, for the other fans here, they cant appreciate it because they see it as unfun because of the fast-travel but it was quite the opposite!
No, there is no movement of the character directly, you change the screen view with the D-pad and then click a button to interact with specific things. Also, there is teh fast-travel that lets you see a whole different area by clicking there. You are also having to respond to button prompts most of the time. In later episodes they may let you walk at certain parts but I'm not complaining. This is basically a more evolved version of a Point-and-Click game, but its WAAAAYYYY more than i couldve asked for from anyone for a Jurassic Park game. I cannot wait for the release of episode one, my controller is rotting away waiting too! anyway, thank you Telltale!!!
