There’s been no shortage of Jurassic Park games over the years, but Jurassic Park: Survival is aiming to be an authentic return to the early days of the film franchise. In a new developer diary, Saber Interactive detailed how it worked alongside Universal Pictures to make its upcoming game look and feel like it was pulled straight out of the 1993 movie that kicked off the entire film franchise.
This approach involved going hands-on with several props from the movie–like dinosaur eggs and night-vision goggles–while accurately recreating locations from the Isla Nublar island. “We go through room by room in the game, level by level. We look at every possible resource–from archives from the film, production stills, production blueprints–to make sure that every prop is in the same place,” Universal’s John Melchior said in the video.
One other grisly piece of authenticity that the game has is that carnivorous dinosaurs are more than happy to turn the protagonist, Dr. Maya Joshi, into a quick meal. From the Dilophosaurus spitting venom to the T-Rex overpowering a player, players will have to stay on their toes when they run across these ancient predators.
