No feathers?

[Plebian]

Its been known a long time now that feathers are indeed a common thing on many dinosaurs. It isn't a huge deal but realism is something I think this game wants.

[SkBonez]

The devs have stated that there will be an option for feathered skins for the dinosaurs in the future. They are even working on a feather system for the game that gives feathers realistic physics so they’ll move around as your dino does. However, due to this is being a purely aesthetic feature and the fact that the devs want a Jurassic Parky feel first, the feathers are a little lower on the list of things for them to do right now.

Adding on to this, utahraptor is the only one I know is planned to have this.

I hope we can get feather options for gallimimus though.

Utah and Galli were confirmed last I heard, and they were also talking about other dinos to put it on like the Rex. They were more interested in what dinos would look good as opposed to what dinos we know had them.

I think they’ve already been working on a feathered rex variant:

Not in the game currently, not sure if it ever was, but it’s in no way off the table apparently eventhough I for some reason prefer my dinosaurs being scaly no matter whta science says XD

That's pretty old, so it could be scrapped by now.

But who knows.

I have my reservations on a "fluffy" Rex. To me, the most I could possibly imagine on a Rex, feather-wise, would have to be what it's old "The Stomping Lands" model had.

Now, I know some people are going to confuse my reservations with "the Rex had 0 feathers." No, I'm not saying that the Tyrannosaurus, in her adult form, was completely devoid of feathers; no, I'm just saying that the Tyrannosaurus was most likely not feathered TO THE EXTENT of some of these "sparrow Rex" fanart I've seen all throughout the internet.

If there's a dino that's more deserving of the feathered treatment in this game would have to be the Velociraptor. Velociraptor has, without a doubt, been discovered to possess plumage.

People also seem to be ignoring dryosaurus despite the fact the smaller ornithopods likely had them too (Orodromeus has them but not dryo as a further example).

You do bring up a good point. It would stand to reason that Hypsilophodontids had feathers.

Niether of them are hypsilophodonts. Dryosaurus is an iguanodont while orodromeus is a parksosaur (which are actually not ornithopods at all, who knew?). Regardless just smaller more bird-like ornithscians in general probably had them.

well it wouldn't make sense if rex had feathers, because im pretty sure its been confirmed adults didn't have feathers, only the hatchlings and juvies. so yes they could add a molting feathers system for rexes life cycle or somethin', but idk

[SkBonez]

Again, they don’t care which dinosaurs may or may not have actually had them, just which ones don’t look awful with them.

Odds are tyrannosaurus did have some feathers, but it was likely extremely minimal compared to things along the lines of gallimus, therizinosaurus, and raptors. They were likely scaly throughout most of their bodies still though. Also the "they had feathers when babies but grew them into scales as adults" is highly unlikely because no animal on this Earth works that way.
