On June 12th, 2018, Frontier Development's new video game title Jurassic World Evolution was finally released and let the fanbase once again relive the great joy of owning and caring for our own dinosaur theme park. However, there is a problem.

Throughout its marketing, the game had been proudly presenting us with a more proper size difference between the three most famous theropods, Giganotosaurus, Spinosaurus, and Tyrannosaurus, and a wave of complaints from fans about the dinosaur sizes (see link; largely revolving around an archaic cultural understanding of the size differences between said dinosaurs) arose as a result, and even though Frontier initially insisted that they would not change the sizes (and those complaining about the issue would obviously have moved on), they eventually sadly stated back in August of 2018 that they would be changing the sizes of the dinosaurs and then not change them any further after that (see link; all because a vocal amount of the fanbase demanded it, and they might as well have demanded there to be dinosaur-human hybrids in the game then, it would make about as much sense).

This was a poor decision however, as the current size representations are now both cinematically and scientifically inaccurate.

Instead of movie-accuracy showing a Tyrannosaurus being the largest at 13.5 meters (with the advertised size in-game being 14 meters) and a Spinosaurus at 13 meters (Giganotosaurus have not yet made a cinematic appearance in the franchise) they downsized the Tyrannosaurus from 14 meters to 13.5 meters and changed the Spinosaurus from 13.7 meters to 15 meters and the Giganotosaurus from 12 meters to 13.5 meters.

Even speaking of current real-world-accuracy, the Tyrannosaurus (at around 12-13 meters long and fully capable of reaching past 14 meters, 3-4 meters tall, and 8-10 tons) should be larger than both Spinosaurus (at around 10-12 meters long, 2 meters tall, and 3-6 tons) and Giganotosaurus (at around 12 meters long, 3-4 meters tall, and 4-7 tons). (see link)

Of course, this was disappointing and takes away a part of the joy that people such as myself had about this game throughout its marketing and the first few months of the game's release, as seeing the sizes of these awesome beasts (particularly the majesty of Tyrannosaurus) being accurate both to the movies and real life is something rather rare to see, and this decision to suddenly change the sizes for no justifiable reason could arguably be described as false advertising.

Therefore I would urge Frontier to reconsider and change the sizes back to what they originally were (or at the very least allow modifications to the game and make it possible that fans could have it just the way they want rather than advertise something they want and eventually give them something they don't want) and not continue in deceiving people with these oversized renditions of Spinosaurus and Giganotosaurus that's persisted for two decades now in the cultural consciousness.

This would also make sense considering the Tyrannosaurus is now being re-established as the biggest and baddest star dinosaur of the franchise since the terrible mistake that was Jurassic Park III back in 2001 (with a rematch more than likely being planned to occur in Jurassic World 3 in 2021) and this goal would seem to have been shared by Frontier judging from the marketing of this game.

Of course, I am also open to suggesting size changes for other dinosaurs in the game but these three carnivores are in my opinion the most important.
