Is the game all cinematic cut scenes?

edited February 2011 in Jurassic Park
From the demo video it seemed to look like it was one of those "Pressing Button Cut-Scenes." Like you see in some Action/Adventure games. Will the whole game be like that or will you be able to move around and explore?

    It's unknown to what extent you'll be able to move and explore within the game at this time. You should probably expect the action scenes to consist of "pressing button cut-scenes" (or QTEs as they're better known) but in between those action moments you'll be interacting with the environment and solving (fairly simplistic) puzzles.

    At the moment it seems that the player will move from one area to another by accessing a security system network and selecting the relevant security camera angle, at which point you're character will (automatically) walk to that location. I doubt we'll have a true picture as to what level the player's involvement in movement will extend to until much closer to the first episodes release, which is during April.

    That sure is how it looked to me shamuboy, thank goodness they didn't do that to back to the future.

    I really hope thats not the case.... Cause I would like to explore somewhat. And I'm sure a lot of other die-hard JP fans would to.

    Well, there's always the bendy stretched armed, boob-a-rama glory that is Trespasser...

    As his skin ruptured and the precious goo of life evacuated from his body; Stretch Armstrong certainly regretted punching the dinosaur in its razor sharp mouth.

    I LOVE Trespasser! Most people don't even realize what it is. I play it almost every day. If we get a bendy arm like Anne then I really don't care!

    ;)

    Good to know there's some loving for Trespasser! It was way ahead of its time, doing the kind of physics based puzzling in an FPS environment some 6 years prior to Half Life 2. Of course it was also a deeply flawed game, with more bugs then the entire network of New York's sewer system put together. Not to mention more glitches then that time R2D2 upgraded to Vista and caught a sexual transmitted virus from a filthy comm port.

    Great game though!

    Trespasser is not a game, its an experience. It's unlike anything else, and its surprisingly good for its time and all the bad reviews it had.

    I recommend playing some of the levels that the TresCom community made, particularly East Dock (which seems to have inspired TellTale), the TresCom Level and TC Isle. They even got to make the textures better and even add some scripted stuff. They are all fantastic.

    Too bad it was released unfinished. They should remake it properly so it can be even BETTER. Trespasser FTW

    I want to play it, but I can never find a copy of it for sale...and more less wait for it to be re-released on gog.

    I payed an insane amount of money for Trespasser. lol But it was worth it. It came with the original large box and everything. The game is fun if you can look pass the glitches. The voice acting was good too.

    Yes the voiceovers were great with Lord Richard Attenborough (John Parker Hammond) and Minnie Driver (Anne or main character). It was a great game and i have bought several copies with full sized boxes and manuals for $20 each for the whole set each time... guess i just got lucky. For those of you that wanna get this game i'd recommend getting it now because at the rate its going, it could be worth 200-300 dollars for just the disk and manual sometime very soon!

    Mine was around $85. This was from Amazon though. They're normally more expensive anyway. Should of got it on Ebay but this was before I was a buyer on ebay.

    Ya, I got VERY lucky, especially cuz i mailed in the cash each time since I dont use PayPal and i got an 85-100 dollar game for 20 dollars more than once and all three of my copies with manuals came new in the box. I really dont care though, I would give all of the money in my bank account for that game if I didn't find it for 20, and I would give all the money I have to have a good remake also!!!!

    I payed 185 dollars for an unopend T-Rex from the original Kenner Jurassic Park toy line.

    I'm that into Jurassic park. lol I'm actually almost done collecting series one. I just need to get the human figures and the cars.

    Haha, if ur looking for figures, lemme know and I'll see if im willing to sell any of them because for example, i have 3 series 1 Alan Grant and 2 of Dr. Sattler then mostly one of each of the rest of the figures and almost every other JP toy created, still missing some though. I have boxes and boxes and i've spent all my money on JP but lemme kno because if i have a duplicate i might feel generous!

    You don't happen to have a sealed figures do you? Cause I'm mostly just looking for unopened items. I'm trying to get everying I lost in Katrina. I had loads of Jurassic Park stuff but one hurricane took care of that. But yeah, if you have any unopened stuff I'm intrested. you also might be interested in my youtube videos. I showcase and review my Jurassic Park collection. PM me about it though. We're off topic here. lol

    Oh are those videos yours? lol, very nice. and yes i may have a few items you would be interested in and I am sorry about your loss to the hurricane. My family lived through that hurricane so I hate to say anything but dont you find it ironic your JP stuff was lost in a hurricane and so was half the sets in Kawai during the filming of the movie! :p
    Anyway, yeah, we are getting off topic as I was just about to say so lets move this convo to messages and get back to talking about cinematic cutscenes... and mebe Trespasser! :D

    You must be on JPL as well :) Jurassic Park and Hurricanes.... they just don't mix well together. lol

    You know, what exactly do we mean by the game being all cinematic cutscenes? Is he refering to the parts where the character is just standing there while you looking for things to click on as well? Cause I don't know if I consider those cinematic cutscnes. The T-Rex encounter though, I guess I would consider that a cinematic cutscene.

    But hey! At least the scenes look great. They really do capture the feel of the films and it is simular to what Spielberg would do. The way the camera is low to the ground and all.

    First, I'd like to say that, if you mean Jurassic Park Legacy by JPL, yes I am on their forums, I am RexMaster over there also!
    Anyway, back on topic, what you said is very true about how they capture the feel of Spielberg's films and atleast we get to play the cutscenes instead of completely watching them like in most games. I just ordered an xbox 360 wiereless controller receiver just so I can play this game with the xBox prompts when it comes out! Can't wait to play this game and I really need a new video or more screenshots on this game before i burst!!!!!!
  • edited February 2011
    I'm not going to use the XBOX controller. Never was a fan of the design. lol
    But I'm sure the game will be just as good without it.

    And your right about being able to play the cutscenes. I know when I was playing the first EP. of Back to the Future and it got to the part where Marty was being chased by Tannen I was thinking to myself, "some QTE's would be great here." lol Actually, I though that whole scene could have been better. It wasn't as epic as the chases in the movies that took place in the same area.

    I guess that's where the Jurassic Park game is better than the BTTF game. JP is going to be more cinematic.

    I hope I don't sound like I'm basing the BTTF game. Cause I am enjoying it. I'm waiting for EP. 2 for the PSN.

    Hello, I'm one of the two guys who made East Dock (and a forum admin at the Trespasser Community website). I did the models and helped with Level Design, Draconisaurus put the level together, sound design, and stars as the guy at the docks.

    I will note that in the trailer the guy at the dock looks kinda like Draco did in East Dock and does kinda sound like him, haha.

    IF East Dock inspired Telltale even slightly then I know we did something right, haha. They did make the same terrain mistake we did on East Dock with the wrecked jeep though. It should be a quarter of the way down the hill rather than on top.

    Not that it would matter either way, East Dock is a derivative work so Universal could use anything they want from it.

    Here's a video of East Dock for anyone wanting to see it:
    East Dock Gameplay by Draconisaurus

    I will say that if you download it you better have a rather decent machine, there's a lot of vegetation so it kinda chugs on older slower computers. You can find it at TresCom

    I bought my copy off Ebay for 20 some bucks. The guy didn't ever play it just took it out of the box. Came with Box, disc never opened! I love it. I have a lot of levels and I play it almost every day.

    Either that or Spielberg made a pact with the Beelzebub to get the film's production off the ground.
