Jurassic Park Trespasser: The game that could have changed everything

Where to start with this unfinished half-baked game. I suppose I’ll start with a bit of back story behind it.

Trespasser started as a small idea within Dreamworks Interactive. An idea that eventually tried to blossom into a beautiful game environment designed to be awe-inspiring, however it failed at this but it succeeded at being the first ever game with a physics-based engine, so take that Half-life! In fact the Half-Life 2 development team at Valve admitted that Trespasser had influenced them greatly during the production of the game. So I suppose that you could say Trespasser...

I was playing this a few weeks ago, it's pretty pretty bad but at the same time I like it...

If it got full support and a remake today I guarantee it would be fu**ing amazing.

It had some pretty Fubar stuff in it though: http://www.youtube.com/watc...

And the players avatar in third person mode was an arm and some boobs...the rest is invisable...perfect women?

Also the dino's were pretty messed up, have you ever seen a T-rex fall over with it's mouth hanging open? Yeah that's what happens when a t-rex attempts to attack you.

"""Since whenever a dinosaur entered a building the game would have a fatal error and crash immediately"""

I got one in a building before but the game didn't crash, it got stuck in against the wall and died...

I think the only type of games that can gets away with it would be sport games, having those sponsors ads on the side like on real life.

But don't put freaking Doritos ads in Star Wars or something, it breaks the immersion. If it is a pop-up ads, then big no.

Hofstaderman28d ago

EA can thoughtfully eff themselves.

Makersbreath228d ago

EA coming back for the crown of being perceived as the worst company in gaming.

Chocoburger27d ago (Edited 27d ago )

One of my favorite series is the THPS franchise, and it was packed with ads, but it didn't bother me. Posters for skateboard companies, JEEP, and Nokia phones. It did sort of fit in with the game world, but that was the past, these days ad would be intentionally intrusive or unskippable loading screen type of imagery. Ugh, I know EA would do it in a horrible fashion. Screw them.

Report: Sexual Misconduct Investigation Conducted at EA, Suspects Named and What They Did Revealed

EA senior staff has been investigated for sexual misconduct involving female coworkers, and these said people have been named publicly.

isarai34d ago

Aye just call Phil, i mean he somehow made Bobby Kotick's scandal disappear and gave him a few million dollar high five on the way out.

Cacabunga33d ago

I wonder if it will be censored with some in game ads.

MrBaskerville31d ago (Edited 31d ago )

Microsoft did, Phil Spencer played a minor part. He instigated the buyout that led to Kotick escaping all his controversies while getting a golden handshake.

Someone on Twitter calculated that the people hired in Tango and Arkane Austin could get a decent salary for roughly 17 years for the money Kotick was paid.

InUrFoxHole30d ago

Yeah some thing tells me Kotics $ was already guaranteed before MS made the deal. As for the studios... Let's be honest here... none of those studios made system sellers.

XiNatsuDragnel33d ago (Edited 33d ago )

EA about to go down like Activision and then Phil saves the day saying.this is good for the industry and consolidation will help create competition. /s.

MrBaskerville31d ago

Then they shutdown Codemasters and studio behind Jedi Survivor.

Atleast they could hardly do much damage that EA hadn't allready done. EA has shut down most of their studios by now.

ravens5233d ago

What's up with all these horny creeps. You gon be horny, fine. Just not at work take care of that shit before you go in. Rub one out if you have to. Don't be a creep at all. ESPECIALLY at work. But don't be one AT ALL.

Extermin8or3_33d ago

I mean part of the issue is that things transpired outside of work....

MrBaskerville31d ago

That's the thing he mentioned about not being a creep at all.

KwietStorm_BLM33d ago

You think deviants care where they are? Work sometimes makes it an even better situation for them because they can abuse their power.

mudakoshaka32d ago

Nerds think they are Gods when they are making video games.

NotoriousWhiz33d ago (Edited 33d ago )

"it seems that according to EA, given the events transpired outside of work between two adults, and the fact that once investigation has started that the alleged perpetrators didn’t do it again, the investigation is considered closed. [...] The victim still has to work with the people that harassed her."

Yep, EA is disgusting.

Extermin8or3_33d ago

I mean the fact stuff happened outside of work puts EA in quite a difficult position legally. These women don't seem to have reported the matter to the police which kinda ties EA's hands on what they can do. If they don't file reports of the crimes then yeah from EA's perspective it is stuff that happened outside of work. The only exception is the guy that apparently referenced things in the slack channel for work, spending on what he said proving it may be very hard and he may well be able to get away with plausible deniability. I don't like EA and I think these people need to be dismissed but without any legal action being taken, EA can't really do much without risk of being sued themselves for unfair dismissal etc.

Well, anything to make those shareholders happy, I guess. They're all that matters in this industry nowadays.

EA stocks haven't been profitable in over 5yrs. They better hope Take-two don't get the FIFA license lol.
