I already have Carnivores and The Stomping Land to satisfy my dinosaur-hunting needs, plus the dinosaurs in both games look a lot better. :P

The fact that many people portray Velociraptors using the body of Deinonychus. I mean, they are obviously different!!

Also, I stumbled on a dino hunting game today, and found some really bad and icky dinosaurs

'Velociraptor'

'Staurikosaurus' (Trust me, this is worse)

An Icky 'Hypsilophodon'

On the positive side, they do have a beautiful fluffy, and proper armed Citipati
Citipati

The staurikosaurus is not that bad, being one of the first dinosaurs, feathers may of had been not begun to evolve yet.Hypsilophodon definitely had the wrong kind of hands as well. anyway. what is the name of this game, I'm intrigued.

I don't think he's complaining about the lack of feathers, but rather the fact that it's just a resized, recoloured version of the JP Velociraptor. xD

its not even that, its a recolor of their own raptor

am I just dense, because the only thing I see wrong with that hypsilodon are its wrists and jointed fingers

Do you have an iPhone/iPad? Because the IOS version is only like two dollars.

Back on topic, the fact that some people just don't seem to understand how improbable it is that T. rex didn't have feathers, no matter how hard you try to explain it to them.

All the crying over Spieldberg's picture is both hilarious and sad at the same time. xD

BTW I'm installing Deadly Shores on my iPad right now.

The first dinosaurs probably already had fluff, since evidence seems to suggest that feathers and pycnofibres have a common ancestor.

I never really understood the argument that the earliest dinosaurs couldn't have been feathered TBH. I think nearly all dinosaurs had feathers or feather-like structures of some kind (though it would appear that a few became secondarily featherless, like hadrosaurs and abelisaurids).

I do not think the first dinosaurs were feathered, but rather, that they had protofeathers, which are different. The origin of the fuzz is very murky, but in my opinion, considering that crocodiles also have "feather" creating genes, I think the first fuzz appeared before crocodiles split with other achrosaurs, which would mean in the early triassic.
