![]() They also talk about the noticeable differences in the skulls of both animals ◊, saying that, in the end, Anatosaurus should be its own genus, while those who oppose say that time gaps between species don't really matter to make a creature a genus of its own, and that both E.regalis and E.annectens are similar enough to be part of the same genus. Those who are in favor cite the fact that the other species in the Edmontosaurus genus, E.regalis went extinct two million years before E.annectens showed up, thereby creating quite a large time gap between them. There are also those who oppose to the devs' decision to refer to the Hell Creek hadrosaurid as Anatosaurus rather than Edmontosaurus annectens.Others find it an interesting feature that makes the dinosaur's gameplay more unique, plus it's entirely plausible since this ability is common among modern birds. Some find it overly speculative and not supported by any evidence, especially for a game aimed at accuracy. Fans are already in debate over Anzu's Voice Changeling ability.Some were not amused by the "Montanaspinus" prank pulled by the devs during one of their livestreams (though it was initially just an inside joke never intended to be taken seriously, only becoming a prank once the game's followers decided to take it further), while others thought it was a hilarious Take That! to those who wanted Spinosaurus in the game despite it not living in the correct time or place.Others argue that restoring the dinosaurs as minimalistically as possible makes sense, because it makes the developers' jobs easier when they adjust the animals accordingly to new discoveries, and that there's no guarantee that Triceratops actually had any special integument in the first place. note The developers eventually removed them after the game's concept artist visited some skin impressions in a museum and decided that the structures would have been unlikely to be present in the manner shown in the original design. That the earlier designs for the animal did feature such quills didn't help matters. Some fans were disappointed by the decision not to include feather-like "quills" on Triceratops - a highly popular hypothesis in paleoart and elsewhere due to the presence of such structures on Psittacosaurus, a very primitive ceratopsian.The devs have eventually decided to redesign Tyrannosaurus with no feathers note The games engine Unity is unable to render the very sparse feathering it could have had, which then understandably alienated fans of the feathered design. Inevitably, the decision to make Tyrannosaurus extensively feathered (with the original design having just a light covering of black ratite-like plumage over part of its back and tail) left quite a few people cold - further fanned by a paper in 2017 that claimed Tyrannosaurus may have been entirely covered in scales (with the possibility sparse feathering along the dorsum). ![]() ![]() On the other hand, there are some who have accepted it with no qualms and noted that the devs' given reasoning for the replacement is understandable (see What Could Have Been under the game's Trivia page). Some fans during the April 14th livestream were not happy about the change from Acheroraptor to Dakotaraptor as the playable dromaeosaur.Awesome Music: The ambient soundtracks revealed so far, like " Ghost of the Floodplain Forest ", " Intraspecific Combat ", Functional Didactyly, and " Ficus Planiscotata ".Palmer (of Realistic Pokémon fame), keeping true to modern paleontology while still drawing from extinct animals, such as plumage for Dakotaraptor that make it resemble various birds of prey. ![]()
