Does Telltale still have the rights to make Jurassic Park games?
Just curious. I know I doubt they do, but how cool would it be if they went back and decided to make a new one.

I think so. It was only made 4 years ago. I think they still have rights to the Back To The Future as well.
JP:TG's story was great, and insert the TellTale gameplay we have today with choices and those improved graphics, it be epic.
Jurassic World: The Game would totally work. They could do something with th island being reclaimed in like 2003, or do something Lost World-esque with the evacuation of Isla Sorna
Probably not. Telltale had the license for King's Quest and they lost it after just two years or so of not doing anything with it. They could have got an extension for Jurassic Park, but the game is kind of an embarrassment for Telltale (Kevin Bruner has said publicly that he thinks it sucks), so I doubt they would have been very interested in making another game and reminding people that the first game exists.
Telltale is still able to sell the game so I imagine they hold rights to it in some capacity, but I don't know if they'd make another game. Telltale previously made a Wallace and Gromit game that they can't digitally sell anymore due to them losing the licensing rights (although people who bought the game still have access to it), but I don't know if losing a license to sell is the same thing as losing a license to make more games.
To be fair, he just said it was flawed and I don't recall him directly saying "it sucked," but yeah, I don't suspect Telltale would do another Season.
No, "Jurassic Park sucked" were his exact words. It was somewhere in this panel, I think.
I'm at school without headphones, so I can't dig around for a timecode at the moment. Maybe I'll do it when I get home.
Heh, I thought you were talking about that recent GDC panel and not an earlier video but I'll take your word for it.
Each license is different. It's entirely possible (and, likely, given that Jurassic Park is a hot commodity now with the new movie coming out) that Telltale still can sell their game, but since they haven't made any games with the license in a while, they can't make any more games without negotiating for a new license.
Bone has been revealed to be in this situation. Telltale can still sell their Bone games, but since they lost the license to make new Bone games when they took a break from it to work on Sam & Max and Warner Bros. got the rights to Bone for a film, Telltale can't make any more Bone games.
