Speculation on an upcoming prehistoric fashion extravaganza!

While not outright revealed, there have been plenty of hints about an upcoming Dino Costume Pack. If we're lucky there will be some mods of the four legged rig and bipedal mods to have some actual dinos running around in a Ouro-time-stream mission or two, or as a pet in the future. [Dinosaur Summoning anyone? XD]

ANYWAY, i was speculating in my head some of the things that might be in such a pack and... as someone who is an amatuer paleontologist myself for a couple decades now, and currently working at an actual dinosaur exhibit in texas, i was getting quite excited. I hope that, while satisfying the need for prehistoric monstrous pieces, they would also hold to some anatomical correctness.



main points:

*theropod dinosaurs [two legged carnivores] didnt have bunny hands that hung down, but rather the hands and fingers faced inward toward eachother.

*dilophosaurus neither had a fril, nor did it spit venom. jurrassic park spead so many lies.

*most theropods had feathers, especially the little ones [velociraptor, for example had feathered hands like mini wings, and lots of tail feathers.].

*birds are dinosaurs technically, sooooo this would be a great opportunity to give us a bird tail and a feathered body option or feathered wrist and boot details.


although im sure the devs will make something fantastic and i'll adore it, it would be nice if there was a little research on their part as to what dinosaurs really looked like, a quick wikipedia and google search is more than enough . though it is a superhero game, and therefore somewhat fictional/fantastic... :shrug: I would really like to see nice long thick fat tails would be super, spiked, plated, clubbed. stegosaurus back plate details. new monstrous legs, monstrous heads im sure, and hopefully, a new set of wings or two. [pterosaur based and microraptor based [feathered with clawed fingers!]]. a cool idea would be a head frill hair detail so it could be used with other costume options...like horns , unlike the latest animal heads which cant be customized very much.

::EDIT::

REMOVED THIRD IMAGE DUE TO HOTLINK BEING REPLACED WITH AWKWARD CARTOON O_O.


i hope a redname takes notes! has anyone heard any more news on this? im sure deets have to leak soon.

:edit: didnt expect the images to look so wierd, but i guess thats cuz they're gifs with transparent backgrounds XD. from the website: http://www.dinosaur-world.com/feathe..._dinosaurs.htm

:edit: swapped pics for ya

Dinosaurs have feathers now? I always thought they were furry.

No, furries are a completely different animal altogether.

I'd so love if they made those parts <3 and have those tails move and not be static like the Phoenix one and have those wings too. Just everything.... This set would be pure love like the Stalker buffs that just came out

This may sound unnecessarily confrontational, and it's really not meant that way, so if I come off like a jerk, let me apologize in advance.

That said, I'm not sure I'd want a "realistic" dino-pack (even assuming that it's dinosaurs, and not, say, cave men; I haven't seen the hints, but that was my first thought when I saw the thread title). The thing about is that this game is sort of a giant pop-culture mashup, and that's part of what I like about it. And to that end, when I think "cool dinosaur looks", yeah, my first thought is something out of Jurassic Park. It may not have been "real", but it is, I think "the look" from a pop-culture perspective.

Now, personally, I think the current science that suggests dinosaurs were feathery is kinda neat. But I don't think it's the right default for this game. Now if it were an alternate extra (like the skull patterns on the Baron jacket, say)? Yeah, I'd be fine with that. But I'd rather sci-fi Dinosaurs to realistic ones, personally.

I haven't seen anything that hints at the contents of ANY new costume sets. Care to share your sources?

(Translation: Links plz!)

Make leathery skin dinos average to big threats. Make feathery ones bigger threats. They are more evolved, after all.

EDIT: this can be fiction-logic!

humans are more evolved than dinosaurs. Are you implying that an adolescent child can kill an adolescent t-rex?

I say keep the classic-style leathery dinosaurs, ESPECIALLY because it's not realistic. Keep your realism out of my fantasy stuff, please and thank you.

Would love to see a dino/reptilian pack. My dual blades/WP tanker Dino Pirate needs some more costume options. I could probably also find something in there for another toon or two.

@daveyj3
please remove those pics, they are horrible to look at.
Use these instead, while not perfect they aren´t that offensive to our eyes.

@Redcap

Dinosaaaaaaaaaaaaurs : D

Dinosaur set pieces please. Not pets.

Unless it's a tiny dinosaur. I'd buy it.

Xenozoic Tales was the best comic book series ever. We need a post-apocalyptic dinosaur lost world and a freakin' MM set. YEAH. Three tiny Velociraptors, a pair of Protoceratops, and a freakin' Stegosaurus.
