User blog:Theferretman21/Remodeling Ornithomimids, how one game succeeds where the latter failed

Two Jurassic World games have had an easily identifiable trope, they have remodeled Troodon from existing Ornithomimids.

The first was Lego Jurassic World which remodeled it's Troodon from the existing Gallimimus model and gave it a new color scheme and size. This makes the Troodon alongside the Baryonyx a lesser appearance in the game, as both share the same stats as their more famous relatives while not getting anything unique about them. The Troodon suffers more than the Baryonyx on the other hand due to it looking noting like a Troodon. It's missing its teeth, it's toes claw, even it's head shape. This makes it seem more like an Ornithomimid than it's own species.

Jurassic World Evolution on the other hand came along, and while the Troodon isn't out yet has already shown a height in quality compared to the former game. The Troodon is quite obviously based off the Struthiomimus, with features such as the neck and tail being quite obvious. Bit unlike the former it does gains defining features such as it's toe claw and teeth, along with the ability to use venom. These features actually push the predatory nature of the animal.

This is why in my opinion, Jurassic World Evolution succeeds where Lego Jurassic World, fails.
