Watch Discovery Channel moar!

I really should watch it less actually, it’s driving me insane how many times they dare to repeat shows and documentaries. However interesting just about all of them are.

They’ve been saying for at least like 5 years now, that some dinos MAY have had feather-like things on their bodies.

Yes, which is just about the exact current consensus about the whole thing. That my friend was my point. :)

I just said I was a moron, because I felt like I was complaining just to make a point that doesn’t really matter thát much anyways when it comes to the game. I mean, who really cares if their Velociraptors do have feathers, right??

What they really found by the way, were indentations, not knobs…

We very clearly addressed the feather controversy–read the press release on the website…

Did you take a look at the pictures where they compare the ulna of a velociraptor with those of a turkey? There’s a massive difference and in my opinion the quill knobs on the velociraptor bones aren’t even visible … Hence why by far not all scientists agree with this, the actual consensus is that they might have had feathers… this socalled proof is rather controversial itself.

Actually it’s a well known fact that Raptors did in fact need monocles. Their eyesight was too poor, to reed their newspapers without, the poor sods.

As for the feathers, again, read any Wikipedia entry and you shall find that one strain did in fact evolve to sprout feathers instead of scales. This evolution mainly took place to camouflage them somewhat better in their pimped Cretaceous jeeps.

LOL, oh shit, turns out there did used to be feathered Velociraptors. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Velociraptor_BW.jpg looks over to Eclipse you were saying… :D

Raptor Fun Fact #21 - If you tie a bow around a raptor’s neck, it might cause Christmas. Spontaneously.

more games should be built around stupid-awesome ideas like that.

we need more velociraptor safaris and metal wolf chaos. and volcanos. sapient volcanos.

I don’t want to spoil the fun, but I think this will be the kind of game that you enjoy playing for like ten minutes, but that you never touch again after that.

They do not just find bones… sometimes you’ll find fossil imprints which give away clues about feathers, scales and skin… Raptors probably did have some feathers at certain parts of their body, but definitely not like this… they are not dodo birds. ;)

“but someone needs to teach the game 3d artist that Velociraptors weren’t like this… and don’t have plumes”

You talk like you’ve ever seen a raptor. Now, i dare you, go find a chicken skeleton somewhere and try proving to me that chickens have feathers, using only skeleton. Not to mention that feathers and scales arent that different in the first place.
