Ever heard of Horizon:zero dawn?
Also, the goombas in the Mario games are actually evolved dinosaurs!

They tried to do so much in that gem.
It certainly would be awesome if someone would actually finish the project in it's original scope with current gen hardware.

This is sort of off topic but this thread reminded me of it. Wasn't there a game shown at last years E3 where you play some sort of primitive human, this is frustrating I really can't think of the name of it or any more details. I thought it was shown at the ubisoft conference but I never could find it in their upcoming games. I want to say it had the word 'wild' in it but I don't think so.
Ok, it was called WIld hah - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wild_(video_game)

Somebody is finally going to make the great dinosaur game we've always wanted, and for the next 5 years every creatively bankrupt game will have dinosaurs too, and then we'll all hate dinosaurs like World War II.

I'm praying we get something at E3

I'm currently playing LEGO Jurassic World with my son and we're having quite a blast with it. You can play as the dinosaurs you find (amber) in the stages, which is quite cool for doing duels between a T-Rex and Spinosaurus, for example.
You really know how to rustle my jimmies.

Unless you want a linear chest high wall fake movie.
I'd rather a dino game that's more enjoyable than scratching your eyes out with razor blades soaked in rubbing alcohol personally. There's a few out there yeah, but none of the recent stuff is particularly decent quality.
Online only, one of the least optimized and unbalanced games on the market and it was supposed to be finished this month when announced and it's barely even at the halfway mark, if you can even call it that. There are massive progression affecting bugs that have been in since launch and still remain such as falling through the groun on death and losing all your items. Seriously, don't waste your time. I'm still ashamed for backing this trash.

I want a Turok reboot that does the same justice to the originals as Doom has this year. Just super fast paced, knifing the shit out of dinosaurs and blowing away cyborg future savages.

They don't "eat" the plants, they produce some green liquid from them.

It runs smooth as butter on both my 860M and 7870, it's been optimized fairly well. On my R390X, which also hosts, every setting is on ultra.
It also has private server mode, which is online offline, still requires a connection.
IMHO, no other game has come close to making the dinos look alive like ARK.

You must be joking right? I'm sorry but I can't take you seriously when you call this optimized. I can run the Witcher 3 on Ultra at 60. I can run Arma 3 at 60 on High. I can even get 60 out of Star Citizen on high and ARK runs at 20~ on medium/high. Oh and that 25% performance boost has been 'coming soon' since close to launch this time last year. I seriously doubt your 860M is outperforming my 970 and other peoples 980's which can't max it.
It has private servers but their netcode is a complete joke, the game suffers 10-30 second long pauses each and every time the server saves as a result. To further that they've spent the whole year trying to make their officials not run like crap and still failed at that goal repeatedly. It has offline but the game is practically unplayable in this sense since it's not balanced for it at all.
If we're talking lifelike dinos. I can hardly call a walking, running and biting animation lifelike especially when the AI is nothing more than run at person and attack with zero layers on top of that. They can't even figure out how to get around a rock because going any direction but straight forward isn't programmed into the AI.

Sorry, not joking, sounds like you had a bad experience. I still stand by and recommend it for people who want to see Dino's..
Tried and tested on numerous computers, guess I had a lucky run.

We definitely do. But I there has just been one fantastic game with dinosaurs released on Wii U: Yoshi's Woolly World.
Wooly World is a really good game, but despite the fact that Yoshi is considered a dinosaur, he's never scratched that dino itch for me.
This. What's better than dinos? Dinos and Dragons. What's better than dinos and dragons? Killing dinos and dragons with big ass weapons and carving them up to make bigger weapons.

I main Riptor in Killer Instinct. She satisifies my dinosaur related gaming needs
TIL Riptor is female. That has multiplied my lore knowledge of KI by an infinite degree.

My wife and I have been playing Ark. It's an interesting game that seems to be attempting to be a photorealistic take one games like Don't Starve or Minecrat but with dinosaurs. It's a fairly frustrating game. Items have a timer that determines when they vanish when not in a chest or on your person, which means that if you are killed, your stuff is probably gone. The progression is also gated by an experience system, which means that even if you have the materials to make something, you may note be able to until you grind out some XP (which thankfully comes from everything you do).
You can play offline in single player and couch co-op, but the game is not optimized for the co-op, so the text is neigh unreadable and the draw distance goes to shit.
Overall, I find it fun, but the game is not without major flaws. It is also not beginner friendly. Choosing the wrong area to start at can have you dying constantly to the more vicious dinosaurs.

Amazing, never heard of this game.
I wish we could do a remake of this game with today's graphics
I love that game! I must have completed it at least a dozen times and nothing else comes close to that number.
