Dinotopia?

I am a huge fan of Dinotopia (collector & fan) even though I am not sure if anyone knows it in the US? This game would be perfect if the friendly dinos (scalies) could communicate to the riders, or use the Dinotopia Footprint Alphabet......classic!

There actually was an Xbox (original) game for Dinotopia. It was utterly horrid.

The dev's have said that there is obvious inspiration drawn from the dinotopia series, but this is a survival game, and conflict and combat are central to that.

But then Dinos need to adapt so perhaps the dev could one day make the dino communicate with the humans.

Got to be fair to the dinos too you know?

HUman will outpower them very soon when they get very organize?

They will be like fish to you and no challenge at all because humans have become the stronger species.

No offense but that seems a little silly. The animals are already dangerous enough.

Not when tribes get organize and have large advance weapons and vehicles that they can use to hunt them down. So still silly?

At the early stage it will be fun but as more players get advance do you really think the biggest baddest Dino can stand a chance to a tribe with a dragon and full advance weapons? Like a automatic turret?

No chance for these Dinos!
They will drop dead on sight with a Vulcan gun!

So yes humans will overpower them!

One individual got even do it with a tranquilizer dart in Jurassic part!

You can trap them like how you trap animals!
Lure them into your electrified cage!
Make them go to sleep with a gas sleeping bomb!

The technology to use will overpower them. :)

Well since the dragon isn't tamable no chance of that. Also I'm sure they will balance it but that's kind of the point. Just like irl you start with nothing and use tech to help out.

I doubt that we will ever have communication between the dinos and survivors in game, but I love channeling the whole Dinotopia art style when we get our dinos wearing fancy armor

Not meaning spawning with newbies. I mean players who have played it a long time and have large bases. They will be the ones to group up and over power the weak dinos.

This is going to happen anyway though.

Funny, I was thinking more on the line of playing as a dino almost like a mini quest, or teaching the dino like you would teach a dog. You can only do that with communication, I love the idea of survival games, I own 6 or more of them, but not just the survival is appealing more to me is the trading, and caravans across the land with rare cargo.
