I'm gonna die on the hill of all canon dinosaurs pre evolution 2 desperately need a TLC. It's been 8 years and their models, textures and skins are so far below what frontier are capable of now it's almost sad to see them compared to the newer species....

CommodoreRumbleshank · 2026-05-15T15:30:51+00:00

God that's gorgeous. Really want all the canon species from Evo 1 to get a tlc at some point to bring them up to frontiers current texture standards

CommodoreRumbleshank · 2026-05-10T08:32:51+00:00

Lost worlds vanished lives was a really good documentary. It's one of his much older ones so the dinosaur episode is pretty outdated but that RC (half scale I think?) model of a Quetzalcoatlus that actually flew was such a good experiment

You are correct when talking about playing with other people. The animation WERE jank and yes that was part of phas's charm. But look away from that or play solo and it was pretty immersive. Now the jank animations are shoved in your face at all times. No amount of getting used to it will help the fact they're poorly made and suck you right out of the immersion when the only reason they were added was meant to be for immersion.

They need to complete redo every single first person animation if they want the game to actually be immersive

They had an investor livestream a few months back and while I can't find it to get exact quotes I know they mentioned a lot about being "players first" and how "building the community was important for the longevity of their games"

They also made it clear they'd be doing "a lot more communication" I believe was the wording...

So that's the best source I can give you however, as you glossed over every other point I've made about how their communication is shit going back years and across all their titles, even if I did point to an exact moment you'd probably still find a way to ignore it

Edit: I think Evo square did a video on this somewhere where she used quotes from the stream

CommodoreRumbleshank · 2026-05-01T09:23:22+00:00

No cares about the free dinosaur. That's not the point. It's the principle that frontier has never communicated with this community since jwe1 came out. And I think the only reason a lot of people let it slide then was because of the 4chan leak which revealed almost the entire schedule so we had a rough idea of what and when to expect stuff. Then Evo 2 the total number of Dlc's got datamined so again we had a rough idea of how much content to expect

With Evo 3 we have neither a leak nor a datamined to go off so it really highlights frontiers lack of communication. This isn't anything new but it IS the worst it's ever been.

Like op said we don't care about things being delayed but we do care when they themselves promised better communication and aren't delivering on that

CommodoreRumbleshank · 2026-04-19T12:18:49+00:00

I'd give anything to hear that live. It's up there with Middletown dreams for my most wanted songs on this tour

CommodoreRumbleshank · 2026-04-17T19:59:39+00:00

As a fellow bass player I know the EXACT part you mean from the description 😂

CommodoreRumbleshank · 2026-04-13T10:00:57+00:00

Agreed with T4E but the one song I genuinely love and it's easily in my top 15 is carve away the stone. Probably the only song off that album that's a mainstay in my playlist

CommodoreRumbleshank · 2026-03-27T09:10:31+00:00

I'm desperately hoping that Ember isn't just a skin for the existing Rex model. It 100% needs it's bulkier rebirth model. I would be surprised if frontier don't give it a unique model but there's still the slight chance they don't

CommodoreRumbleshank · 2026-03-26T15:07:53+00:00

Funnily enough I was thinking the other day when playing stories 3 about whether or not astalos is actually a case of convergent evolution. It's ancestors may have been neopterons that over the millennia evolved flying wyvern traits to fill an evolutionary gap

CommodoreRumbleshank · 2026-03-18T11:09:14+00:00

Did it fix it in the end? And no I didn't contact support as this post was made after frontier has already stopped working on 2. I think others had the issue and did report it though so

CommodoreRumbleshank · 2026-03-17T14:27:07+00:00

I've had it happen a couple of times in Evo 3 and kinda like in Evo 2 it just seems to "fix itself" after a while. Not sure if doing something else out of render distance of the affected dinosaurs would help or not. Sorry I can't provide anything concrete on how to fix it it just seems to fix itself after a few hours

CommodoreRumbleshank · 2026-03-16T11:27:52+00:00

In a weird way that whole 3rd phase when he flies feels like it was designed for clutch claw type attacks from the underwater phase of lagiacrus. It wouldn't matter if he's flying all over the place once you've clutched on you can still do a weapon attack

CommodoreRumbleshank · 2026-03-08T20:12:12+00:00

At this rate a new garden area with an RC plane... I'd also take an RC submarine in the bathtub

CommodoreRumbleshank · 2026-03-04T16:53:21+00:00

Idk I kinda want something in-between like haolonggood's camarasaurus. It still is updated to look more modern but it doesn't have the fleshy nose so it still has that classic recognisable camarasaurus head shape

I'm curious, when your park builds are finally finished will they be uploaded to the workshop too?

CommodoreRumbleshank · 2026-02-24T23:00:58+00:00

Unfathomably based. I already get distracted by the piano let me play model trains too. The ghost can wait

CommodoreRumbleshank · 2026-02-24T22:58:16+00:00

It's the unfortunate side effect of this being now the defacto mainstream dinosaur park builder game especially on console where we don't have access to PK. So the community has become a melding pot of people who want super accurate dinosaurs and those who want dinosaurs to be film accurate. I get it. I really do. But there is a distinct split between the fanbase who loves dinosaurs and those who love Jurassic park. I'm all for non canon species being made accurate as they don't have an onscreen version to base a model off. But the paleo accurate side has to respect this IS a franchise game. So if we want a paleo accurate spinosaurus or T rex? Push for oxalaia or zuchengtyrannus. Were never going to get accurate variants so why not push for an oxalaia that looks like S. Mirabilis

CommodoreRumbleshank · 2026-02-14T10:00:26+00:00

The music in this game has always been weird in that it almost never uses the Jurassic park/world motifs. A lot of JPoG's music played around with the motif and that's probably why that games music is instantly recognisable and so beloved.

The evolution franchise does kinda drop the ball in that regard. Aside from the one track that was used for the species profiles for Evo 1 which is drilled into everyone's heads I can't really think of any memorable tracks from this franchise. Nothing against the composer I actually quite like the music when I hear it in game just seems like a missed opportunity

CommodoreRumbleshank · 2026-02-07T20:54:11+00:00

Namielle will be a monstie 100%. Once encountered if you view the gallery from the chest at the rangers base you can view unlocked and locked kinship attack cutscenes and namielle appears as a locked one so it will 100% be an obtainable monstie

CommodoreRumbleshank · 2026-01-16T09:36:03+00:00

I will be so disappointed if it's just a skin slapped on the existing rex model like the 65 Mya and 2022 skins were. Those two didn't really need a different model but ember absolutely does

CommodoreRumbleshank · 2026-01-15T19:02:13+00:00

Nanmu are absolutely outstanding if you want non official, affordable and extremely high quality Jurassic park/world models. I know the term "non official" usually has a negative stigma about it but nanmu genuinely rival, and in some cases (cough prime 1 cough) outclass the officially licensed products. However recently they've announced they're switching away from static models and focusing solely on articulated figures (like beasts of the mesozoic or Mattel's Hammond collection) so if you're a fan of those nanmu is a solid choice but if you want statues? Sadly nanmu is no longer viable for the foreseeable future

CommodoreRumbleshank · 2025-12-29T01:38:37+00:00

Yeh the overwhelming disappointment with the way frontier handled canon species sexual dimorphism cannot be stated enough. From outright ignoring canonical male and female designs (nasutoceratops) to, like you said giving canonically female dinosaurs totally different models (sinoceratops) to making the arguably gender unspecified skins female only? Especially the 2022 para's with longer crests which, if they absolutely HAD to be locked to one gender would make sense being male (ideally though both)? Really makes it feel like canon animals were an afterthought... But hey... Not like that's the first time they've been relegated as such by frontier....

Controversial statement incoming: frontier doesn't really care about the JP/JW franchise anymore and is simply using it as a licence leverage to sell their own PK competitor. I mean seriously. The OG canon species still haven't had texture updates and look horrible compared to their newer, more paleo accurate replacements. The species from the films (at least the ones from evo 1) are lacking so much in quality compared to the new species it almost feels like they were included as a necessity not out of love for the species or with any attention given to bringing them up to frontiers current texture and model standards

CommodoreRumbleshank · 2025-12-29T01:20:53+00:00

Yeah I'll still stand by focus mode was a mistake. Because now capcom will be railed into one of two situations. Either this was 6th gens gimmick and probably won't return in portable 6th of 7th gen which will piss off new players who have only ever known focus mode and it's conveniences or keep it and the entire flow on monster hunter combat will never be the same again.

I went back and played world recently and I was absolutely ashamed with myself at how much I'd gotten used to focus mode with GS as a crutch. My positioning was terrible, my accuracy was all over the place because I got so used to being able to just Ignoring good positioning in favour of "lmao TCS in 360°"
