Is JP: The Game canon to fransise?

[Dvayne Reaze]

It has contractions with what we see in Jurrasic World 1. Gates are not destroyed in that film
Who am i kidding? World films are bad anyway.

I remember watching a YT video about it being canon or non-canon and the conclusion was that it was a "Soft canon". Yet, i don't remember if that's what they quoted from the developers or that was their opinion, sorry.

its kinda cannon because the lycine contingency and frog and amphibian DNA traits, but most of the rest of it isn't

it takes place after the events of JP 1 just before lost world soon its almost right after what happened to the park of the 1st movie and is cannon think of it like clean up of the end of the first movie ingen did not fully shut it down just marked it as failed but still keeping it up even tho everything thats happened

Yes but in Jurassic World 1 gates are not broken like in this game.

I'm surprised you haven't mentioned the obvious one. The age of Gerry harding he's 50/60 in the film and 30 in the game.

No. Towards the end of the game Billy said that the government had plans to bomb to whole island to kill all the dinos. Noone stopped that, meaning that the bombing did happen shortly after the game ended. Since Isla Nublar was still standing and had dinos living on it by the time they started building Jurassic World, it's pretty clear that the events of this game didn't happen.

The events described are closer to the novel canon than the films, much of what happens in game is far closer to the book than the film (for example the existence of compys, and the aviary, rides, napalm strike, more than 3 raptors and that Hammond and Wu are portrayed far more like they are in the books than the films.)

Camp Cretaceous which is movie canon does undermine some of the event of the game, such as the shaving cream and basically everything that happens in the visitors centre.

I think much like Trespasser, its "canon" enough, in that it fits vaguely into the events and builds on the Jurassic Park "world" but in a similar way to Camp Cretaceous which is very much movie canon (but references the books) there is a fair amount of artistic licence.

We have to remember there are only 2 books by Crichton, and the books were broadly narratively darker than the films. The game is trying to flesh out more depth to the park, but the only true way to get movie canon would to be involve Spielberg so instead they are rely more heavily on the books to bulk out the park, and then adding their own characters and events

The consumer/viewer decides, what is canon (or what is the right order etc.), so it is your choice.

I don't know if it's somehow explained later in the game, but another rewrite to the canon is the numerous raptors running around in the game. At the end of the movie, there was only one left alive in the freezer. Muldoon commented that the one killed all but two of the others.
