Speculative biology is simultaneously a science and form of art in which one speculates on the possibilities of life and evolution. What could the world look like if dinosaurs had never gone extinct? What could alien lifeforms look like? What kinds of plants and animals might exist in the far future? These questions and more are tackled by speculative biologists, and the Speculative Evolution welcomes all relevant ideas, inquiries, and world-building projects alike.

Dinosaur Video Games; Where have all the Dinosaurs Gone?

I just recently bought the new Turok 2008 and I really enjoyed playing it. But it really got me thinking. Where are the dinosaurs in video games these days? I remember when I was young playing Turok Evolution on the PS2. Man that was a sick game. The enemies would attack eachother, I remember luring a trex down a hill to kill the soldiers while I hid behind a boulder. Im sure alot of you guys have fond memories of Turok or Dino Crisis. So I want to play a dinosaur game that is purely awesome. Games like King Kong and Turok 2008 have awesme dinosaurs but in turok you're usually fighting soldiers and in King Kong you're fighting centipedes and bugs most of the time. I dont mind fighting bugs and soldiers but when its 80% bugs or soldiers and 20% dinosaurs. So I want to make a project were we 'pretend' to be game creaters and we can make an awesome dinosaur game. I have already started thinking up ideas outside of this forum. So who wants to help?

OK I need a premise for the game to take place. The dinosaurs will be fictional and only based off their true counterparts. Some levels you will play as a human riding a dinosaur (you play as the dinosaur in those levels). I was also wondering. Do you guys think there should be human enemies in the game?

Yes. I'm in.

There should be human enemies. Maybe dinosaurs are more realistic and it involves time travel.

We could have evil scientists and/or anti-human humans like Helen or Ethan from Primeval.

BTW, UT, no offense, but aren't you eleven? That isn't really a scenario to say when I was little...

P.S. Don't worry! I do it to!

Sorry, meant to say was when I was slightly younger. I probably want about 40% dinosaurs, 30% creatures and 30% humans. I already have a later level planned out were you play as a styracosaurus cross ankylosaurus with a turret on its back and you have to try to defeat Trex. In the cut scene you stab it in the leg with one of your horns. But the Trex throws you off a cliff. During mid air you switch back to the human riding the dinosaur, you unclip your belt and you and your ally fall into a cave along with the styracosaurus. In the cave the styracosaurus is killed by the fall and you and your friend encounter some scorpion bugs (If any other bug would be better Im open for ideas). As the human you hop onto the dead styraco's turret and kill all the bugs. After the bugs are gone you progress through the underground caverns.

I also had an idea where you and your allies are sent out on a mission on utahraptors and you get to lay as the utahraptors. I also thought that while riding the raptors maybe you could be able to fire your human weapon. Just an idea.

you should be able to fight while mounted. I strongly discourage crossbreeds. There were plenty crazy enough dinosaurs out there.
Idea: have the tianyulong, considered a dinosaurian porcupine, live in small groups that can injure you if you hit them. Perhaps a small group booking a path and the mission is to lure them away? Or have them as obstacles while riding.

If anyone here has played N.O.V.A. 2 for the iPhone and iPad, I would suggest a scene like the motorcycle scenes where you, say, go through a desert r whatever and have gunners shooting at you and/or other vehicles to jump on (Uncharted). Of course you would be riding dinosaurs.

Use a nodosaur then. Have it spike them sideways or something.

or that. Have it spike with its tail.

Just about to say that!
Humans nations with domestic dinosaurs.
"You shall perish, whatever you do! If you are taken with arms in your hands, death! If you beg for mercy, death! Whichever way you turn, right, left, back, forward, up, down, death! You are not merely outside the law, you are outside humanity. Neither age nor sex shall save you and yours. You shall die, but first you shall taste the agony of your wife, your sister, your sons and daughters, even those in the cradle! Before your eyes the wounded man shall be taken out of the ambulance and hacked with bayonets or knocked down with the butt end of a rifle. He shall be dragged living by his broken leg or bleeding arm and flung like a suffering, groaning bundle of refuse into the gutter. Death! Death! Death!"

I wanted a crossbreed of a triceratops and an ankylosaurus. Because they are domesticated like how humans crossbreed dogs.

But they're different species and can't crossbreed like dogs.

You can't crossbreed a cockatiel and a canary. You can't crossbreed such different species like triceratops and ank.ylosaurus. Maybe if your lucky you can crossbreed between different species in the ankylosaurus genus, but not any farther. Even genetic modification would be nigh impossible with those two and tech level of present or near future.
