Well, here's my theory: I think that with Colin Trevorrow being so fond of the original series, he made his decision based on that. In other words, if you think about it, which velociraptors looked scarier: the ones in Jurassic Park and The Lost World, or the ones in Jurassic Park III? The ones in the first and second films did not have feathers, were larger then they're supposed to be, and looked very terrifying. The raptors in Jurassic Park III seemed to lose a bit of that taste, although that is my opinion. Ultimately, I guess we'll just have to wait for more news before really deciding just how the film will turn out.
