This is similar to that moment from the original film where Dr. Now, in the wake of the massive success that was Jurassic World and with a sequel on the way, we’re finally getting the beautiful, realistically detailed Jurassic Park title we always knew could happen. Well, I suppose Lego Jurassic World, but that was more a Lego title than a dinosaur game. While you can find a bunch of weird mobile games and slot machines from the last decade, the only real big game to bear the Jurassic Park name was Telltale’s failed experiment in 2011.
It obviously makes sense that a publisher wouldn’t be demanding licensed titles from a dormant film franchise, but you’d figure that better technology would allow for a superior Jurassic Park entry on newer consoles.
Jurassic Park went quiet and so did the games. As I grew up, though, I noticed an odd trend.
