The big hook of Jurassic Park: Survival is that the game takes place immediately after the events of the 1993 movie. The surviving cast was able to flee Isla Nublar at the film’s conclusion, but it seems not all survivors made it off. The game will put players in the role of Maya Joshi, who is played in the game by actress Payal Mistry. In the game, Maya is an InGen scientist who now finds herself in an incredibly dangerous situation. In the video below, we get to see Mistry performing motion capture for the game, and discussing her feelings about the role.
Because of the period that Jurassic Park: Survival takes place, the developers at Saber Games apparently put a lot of time and effort into replicating Isla Nublar. In the video, we can see a lot of familiar elements that look just like they do in the movie, and that’s sure to excite people intimately familiar with the source material. The goal was to “make sure every prop is in the same place.” Even though the game is taking players to an iconic movie location, that doesn’t mean players shouldn’t expect to see anything new. The developers have worked closely with Universal to also create landmarks that were teased but not actually seen in the original Jurassic Park.
That attention to detail isn’t just being put into the locations, but also the dinosaurs themselves. The featurette shows us several iconic dinosaurs that will appear in Jurassic Park: Survival, including a Tyrannosaurus Rex, Raptors, and the venom-spitting Dilophosaurus. The development team is working to ensure that every detail about these creatures feels like it did in the film, from their actions, to the weights, and even the textures of their skin. While science over the last 30 years has proven that these designs weren’t totally historically accurate, these depictions have become an iconic part of popular culture.
