The History of the Acrocanthosaurus in the Jurassic Park Franchise

[@kingsolomon673]

I always liked Acro, it's a very interesting dinosaur, glad that they put him into Evolution

[@fang609]

And they gave it both tame natural looking skins as well as bright and vivid skins, witch should be the way all dinosaur skins should be.

[@justanormalhumanbeing1903]

I have loved the acro since i was a kid

[@ColeslawEG]

I rlly want torvosaurus,Mapusaurus and tyranotitan

[@terrortrike9580]

tbh i wish tarbosaurus was aswell

[@justadiamondwithinternetac3662]

It’s like a hybrid between the Spino and the Rex

[@victorbruant389]

This guest favorite dinosaur, the Acrocanthosaurus was among the largest theropods known to have lived.

[@NoahS4226]

6.1 metric tonnes right? Huge

[@eddiehanley4258]

I've always thought the "guest favorite" reference from the announcer was a "fan-favorite" nod

[@brotherjorge3]

I always thought the JPOG Acro looked like a marine iguana. I loved the spines, colors, and its overall design.

[@GeneralKatarn]

Acro deserves SO MUCH LOVE, being so underrated and all..

[@jakeronald568]

So do you

[@matmohair1]

Acrocanthosaurus was my favorite therapod from Operation Genesis. First dinosaur I chose to release while playing with my cousin years ago. I've been looking forward to its revival in JW Evolution.

[@brycevo]

Acro is a really cool animal. It would be cool if he could cameo in the movies

[@astrobot4017]

I think there should be a Triassic dinosaur pack for JWE

[@HoundofOdin]

I completely agree with this.

[@kyleolszewski103]

Astro Bot yeah since we finally got the herra

[@FlyingFocs]

1. Plateosaurus 2. Coelophysis 3... Actually, what would be the third? You could switch out Plateosaurus with Mussaurus, since it was mentioned in one of the books, but yeah... That's all I can think of.

[@totallynotacop9728]

@@FlyingFocs maybe eoraptor but probably not since it's too small

[@FlyingFocs]

@@totallynotacop9728 best I can guess is Staurikosaurus, which is ever so slightly bigger than the Eoraptor at 2 meters. They could add an archosaur instead, like Desmatosuchus or Postosuchus, but that seems odd for a "first non-dinosaur animal."

[@wolflord8117]

Aww man my main man uploading . my new favorite dinosaur. Great work man!!

[@prehistoricworld_]

Really love the Acrocanthosaurus. Its unique as an animal and very well understood. Although I don’t thing the Jurassic series needs it. I’ve actually recently bought the Rebor Acrocanthosaurus model to complete my diorama. Its really cool and I highly recommend it.

[@aryshandono3698]

My holy trinity of Carcharodontosaurid is now complete... 😍 I like how the Acro in JPOG gets along well with Carcharodontosaurus

[@NoahS4226]

We should through them in a pit with a Mapusaurus, a Giganotosaurus and a Tyrannotitan

[@aryshandono3698]

@@NoahS4226 that would be the battle of ages

[@Godeater13273]

If I had to pick a favourite look for the Jurassic franchise Acrocanthosaurus I'd have to go with the JPOG version because it looks more like a Carcharodontosaurid the Evolution version makes it look way to bulky and robust it looks to much like a Tyrannosaurus imo

[@Bouncy_Ball_Studios]

I agree.

[@theferretman2157]

I don't think it's too bulky, but the fact they downplayed the sail and the horrible head are what put me off. The bulk we can actually put to being reasonably fed unlike most reconstructions.

[@VelociraptorsOfSkyrim]

@@theferretman2157 It's now believed the sail was more of a hump, making the Evolution variation the more accurate out of the ones we've seen. The only issue really is the strange skull shape, but we could easily hand wave it as one of the strange mutations the InGen clones tend to have

[@jordanf9257]

@@VelociraptorsOfSkyrim No we can't do that.

[@VelociraptorsOfSkyrim]

@@jordanf9257 Yes we can. If we can do that for the JWE Deinonychus or the JP Dilophosaurus, we can do it for the slightly inaccurate Acrocanthosaurus head.

[@TheAtoll]

Park Builder for the GBA actually has really cool pixel art for each of the dinosaurs. They can be collected like trading cards each time you create a new dinosaurs if I recall. But yes, in the actual game, they only have a few standard sprite types.

[@maxvt7258]

This is my favorite dinosaur

[@nicwhite8206]

I can go with the evolution version of the acrocanthosaurus too cause it looks cool.

[@JimmysALilGirl]

It's strange that they keep making park simulators based on a movie about a park... That is VERY strange indeed.

[@RJ5700s]

chris pontarolo that would be fun like your actually on an island surrounded by Dino’s and you need to find a way to escape 🧐 I’d pay for that

[@JimmysALilGirl]

@chris pontarolo Well, the first games that came out were like that, but it is true that they keep making very similar games. I think they should make a game that is both types of game. Have a game where you have to go out and capture dinosaurs for your park or have it start out with your park but something goes wrong and you have to escape.

[@JimmysALilGirl]

@chris pontarolo That could make a great asymmetrical vs. game. There could even be a mode where you play as civilians during an escape and your goal is to get away.

[@jennahsalvador4638]

@chris pontarolo the closest jp game to that that I know of is Trespasser, and honestly I would love to see that remade and reworked to be less buggy and more accessible to everyone

[@justadiamondwithinternetac3662]

chris pontarolo what about a game where you Crash on sorna and try to escape? The game could be cannon any new Dino’s could appear.

[@Lightman741]

Thank God you uploaded a video, I am watching Jp3 on Netflix and was scratching my eyes and ears

[@ChaosKnightCMV]

I hate that the JP movies aren't on Netflix where I live

[@drachen120779]

Love the Acrocanthosaurus. I first heard of him from Robert Bakkers book Raptor Red. Awesome predator. The genesis model looks nice with the spines covered with skin.

[@icanhazgoodgame3845]

Same here. I loved that book as a kid. The Acro gets mosasaur'd as well.

[@galwaypeters2]

Fun fact about the acro, The skeleton found in the North Carolina Museum was a cast specimen purchased from the Black Hills Institute Of Geological Research. This specimen is cool as shit because it actually has a crocodile tooth still wedged into the maxilla. A croc tooth literally in its face. We can all guess how that happened.

[@kingvulturo]

I always liked the fact Acros got a lot of coverage in Bakkers paperback novel, Raptor Red.

[@JETZcorp]

That's where I heard of it first as a kid. I was super stoked to see it when I got JPOG with my PS2 for Christmas. I thought the Acro was really the star of Raptor Red, never having been much of a raptor fan. Acro is no T-Rex, but in JPOG it was your first big carnivore and once you had an Acro, no one walked out of the park unsatisfied with the dinosaurs!

[@pasquelmartinez2908]

That Acro skeleton is in a science museum in Raleigh, NC. It looks really cool up close and I was surprised to see it in your vid 😀

[@Destroyer4790]

I had the jp institute field guide as a kid, was a neat project they had going for a brief time.

[@LandBeforeTime75]

I like the Acrocanthosaurus in Jurassic World Evolution because I really noticed how awesome and tuff this dinosaur is. I really hope that Acrocanthosaurus would be in Jurassic World III nor in the Jurassic series in the future.

[@travisherndon94]

Acrocanthosaurus the dinosaur that back in Operation Genesis sounds like my dad in the morning lol

[@project2.0archives44]

The Acrocanthosaurus is one of my favourite Carnivores by far next to the Metriacanthosaurus, and my favourite appearances that the Acro made in my opinion were Jurassic Park Operation Genesis and Jurassic World Evolution, I also liked it in Jurassic World The Game because I have it in my park. By the way Klayton, your video about Jurassic Park Institute should be called "What was Jurassic Park Institute?"

[@Acro-vf9nd]

Acrocanthosaurus is honestly one of my favorite dinosaur next to the Allosaurus

[@skylargilbert4133]

Wow My favourite dinosaur!!!

[@shainewhite2781]

I love the acro design in JWE, too!. Thanks for the video!

[@denmaster868]

These theme park games are quite popular because there's not much else you can do with a game surrounding a film about a dinosaur theme park.

[@Jeffron27]

One of my second favorite big dinos is the Acro. Also the state dinosaur of Oklahoma. Certainly in my top 3, but only slightly below Allosaurus.

[@JPOGers]

Here in the Texas paleontology community, Acrocanthosaurus is about as famous as T-Rex

[@ryanhubbard1885]

Josh Brunke agreed! It’s my favorite dinosaur purely because it’s a Texan native and we all know about sizes when it comes to Texas lol.

[@morganfreeman9810]

A upload uh makes people happy

[@jurassictyrantkingYT]

*The Acrocanthosaurus in Jurassic world evolution has to be my favorite and most scientifically accurate version of the Acrocanthosaurus it's muscular build shows that it was made to hunt sauropods. I even hope that one day it will have an appearance in a Jurassic world or Jurassic Park film in the future.*

[@sourlemon3337]

Lord Baryonyx it is not scientifically accurate in Jurassic world evolution. They got the head completely wrong as well as the pronated wrists

[@fang609]

Evolution Acro to be honest although the arms are a bit short and the eyes and possible the head are a bit Rex like. But I also like the colours it has in JWTG.

[@shadowbeast9671]

I guess it's been hard to make a good survival game for the Jurassic Park series and do it justice, so park builder games is their best way to go. I was thinking of getting the Evolution game, but I hated the design for the Deinonychus(a favorite of mine) so I didn't. As for Acrocanthosaurus, it's unique skeleton does make it an interesting enough dino that I'd like to see it make a movie appearance. A couple of it's designs in the games you showed makes it look like an overgrown monitor lizard though.

[@calebprescott440]

Yes my favorite DINOSAUR

[@Saibot_the_Noob]

Still have fond memories of the Acro being pretty much the only large carnivore I managed to put on display in Operation Genesis. Knowing that it's returning for a new appearance does give me an old feeling of nostalgia, and seeing it on the big screen so more dinos become more widely known is always good to me

[@yeet-jd2xb]

Oh my god that intro is so chill and cool,gj!

[@seanimal3]

My second favorite dinosaur of all time

[@CaesarPlaYz]

Im making a movie with my friends, and its villain is the Acro. So this helps

[@Dodoraptor4]

My favorite appearance is it’s rainforest skin in Jurassic World Evolution Perfectly balanced, as all things should be

[@matthenazgul5454]

One of my favorite dinosaurs I hope you'll play more games especially warpath 😁

[@shainewhite2781]

It's about time they put Acrocanthosaurus in Jurassic World Evolution! I've been waiting for this animal to make an appearance in the game.

[@ImDudeRandom90]

I couldn't tell you why, but the acro is easily my favorite dinosaur ever. I'd go nuts if it was ever brought to the big screen.

[@Mikezilla103]

I loved this dinosaur in JP:OP and i was Happy it made it in Evolution along with the Herrerasaurus and Proceratosaurus. Imagine what this Heavy weight Dinosaur would do in a JP Movie.

[@AdamusPrime24]

Warpath intro'd me to the Acro; loved playing as it because it was versatile and matched the other big carnivores (as much as I can remember)...Playing as it made it a firm fave of mine. ^^

[@velociraptor4you3291]

I’ll always have a favorite in the “JPOG” version, but the new “Evolution” iteration I like, too.

[@herssonolvera9944]

I love your videos I learned so much from Jurassic park

[@dirandrous7682]

The Acro has the best skins in the game, of course not Spino and Deinonychus level beauty of course.

[@v_raptor2218]

Indoraptor Unstoppable you mean the undeniably feathered one, oh please even ark survival evolved got it right

[@alexfullwood4560]

Love the acro

[@PlanetMobius87]

PLEASE do a video on the JP Institute! I spent so much time on that website in computer class when I was in high school

[@starwick.v2864]

1 hour ago I was watching your video about the indoraptor and I thought What if he made a video about the Acrocanthosaurus? “Probably next day” And to my surprise Thanks a lot

[@faceless2302]

Acro is actually the official state dinosaur of Oklahoma

[@raven800plays]

Operation Genesis: Giant Iguana Evolution: Yo, Rexy, baby, I think we gotta see other people. It's not you, it's me.

[@ryanpowell2540]

I like the Acrocanthosaur. I has a cool design that's a neat variation to the "standard" carnosaur, what with his enlarged back spines. It's a pretty underrated dinosaur. I loved when it was featured in the novel Raptor Red.

[@cranjis1932]

Yay! Another klayton fioriti video!

[@TBevill1231]

Warpath was such a unique yet awesome game! I wish they’d do another one someday!

[@nmcalister5809]

You can see the Acrocanthosaurus near where it was discovered in Idabel Oklahoma at the Museum Of the Red River. It’s amazing

[@ryansmith-sounddesigner7831]

While no animal has a villainous intent (due to the victim of anthropomorphism), I find Acrocanthosaurus to be a very useful candidate for an antagonist dinosaur other than T. rex, Spino or Giga.

[@SasukeUchiha-ix2yk]

I want to see this baby in film. But honestly I love the look of Operation Genesis most, but in film I think the Evolution look would work the best

[@mmjr23]

I love the Acro and I hope they put it on the big screen one day. How it should look no brainer here. Definitely the look from Jurassic world evolution

[@ahsanvirk130]

A remake of Jurassic Warpath, using models from Jurassic World Evolution, now that is a game I'd enjoy playing

[@PhantomLAM]

When I was a kid and didn't know any better about the Dinosaurs and whatnot I would've said the Operation Genesis Acro was better. However, Frontier managed to keep the Jurassic-Parkisms to a minimum with this design and overall I love that they adopted the realistic design of having the spine not being exposed, cause it wasn't in reality. The exposed spine definitely makes it look eviler and more threatening but I think it's time to move past designing Dinosaurs in that way, good job Frontier!

[@Courtenaire9911]

you should do a series about the actor's lives in the jurassic park. Sam Neill and Jeff Goldblum's twitters are pretty funny

[@channelgrantito7662]

I really hope a lot of JPOG skins make their way into JWE, I'd even like so Jurassic Park Warpath skins

[@sailordarkjupiter]

i have a poster of the acroncanthsaurus, i got from the Raleigh science museum, which my favorite museum in NC. seeing acroncathsaurus is my favorite part of the museum every time i go there.

[@Koji.Lee.29]

I love it in Jurassic park operation genesis and Jurassic world evolution it actually is my favorite dinosaur. I hope one day it would at least make a cameo in the movie or have a scene in a movie

[@That_Doctor_Del_Fella]

My beautiful child! Finally it has come to Evolution!

[@TylerRakstis]

He also appeared in Jurassic Park Explorer as well, though that game uses the same list as Operation Genesis. Fun fact: this was how I got introduced to this species.

[@guilmon182]

Oh, PLEASE do a video on JP Institute! I can't tell you how many hours I spent in the school computer lab consuming that website

[@JurassicKM]

Probably gotta go with the JPOG Acro for favorite appearance (haven't had a chance to have one in Evolution...yet). Personally, I'm not sure that I'd want to see one of these in a JP movie because if I ever get around to finishing my novel idea, the Acro actually fills the big theropod slot. lol

[@jpfan1989]

I would have to vote for JPOG Acro.

[@DuskShad90]

I remember the Acro from Warpath, so when I saw the carnivore pack for Evolution I didn't hesitate to buy it. I made 3 Acros so far on Isla Tacano.

[@bigfatcarp93]

I know it's not a JP property, but it would have been cool to mention the Acro being the main antagonist of Raptor Red.

[@anthonyrouse5517]

Amazing that the Acrocanthosaurus is another unique dinosaur and Im glad its in Evolution but suprised it aint in any movies. Hope they add him cuz that means more dinosaur fights

[@mackenzieglidden2968]

Hey ledies and gentlemen have u seen where t rex gone after fallen kingdom it's gone to universal studios in california for vacation or something else

[@salempistorius7395]

I love how natural yet pronounced the spines look in evolution. Would love to see it cameo in jw3

[@Descryptic]

If the Acrocanthosaurus ever appears in a film, I'd enjoy a mix of its Evolution design with a similar palette and pattern to the Operation Genesis counterpart... The Jurassic Park franchise does a lot to differentiate the various dinosaurs, and making their colours pop has always been a necessity!

[@tomahawkchopboy89]

I put countless hours into Operation Genesis, and the Acro was my favorite in that game.

[@smokeybanjoboy]

(on the phone) Yes frontier, I would like to order an Acrocantosaurus, EXTRA THICCC!

[@hectoralvarezrodriguez7045]

Enjoying watching klayton's videos, best JP content in youtube. Acro its an amazing dinosaur, I'd love to see it in the movie cannon and my favorite design its the ona of operation genesis

[@Koda89]

Hey, it’s my state’s official dinosaur! Neat. :D

[@NateNexVI]

Jurassic world evolution, acro is my favorite, I just like how big it looks. The acro overall is my 2nd favorite dinosaur

[@jetskiwita]

I have always liked the jpog Acro it’s my favorite design in that game!

[@kylenaversen]

I’m happy Acrocanthosaurus was able to be in JWE, I agree with your opinion this design should be in the movie. Also, in your future video I would love to see the History of the Carcharodontosaurus.

[@alexallen9640]

[@easportsaxb8057]

To be honest, I preferred the JPOG design. It looked so cool, realistic and interesting all at the same time. I do like JWE and Warpath Acros as well though.

[@christopher7398]

Me and my older brother loved warpath when we were younger.

[@Hugolovesyou17]

I love the look of operation genesis and evolution. If it were to have a film appearance I would go for evolution's design, or maybe a cross between the two games.

[@optimusprimus89]

I liked it in JPOG. It was unique against the others and looked formidable in it's own way. Now it just looks like some T-Rex knock off with it's head. Body is fine though but acro had a specific skull that isn't what is in EVO

[@JParkL0v3r]

Acro has been one of my favorite dinos since JPOG along with Carcharo. I didn't care much about Acro in JWE since the Cretaceous pack with Carcharo, but Acro's roar in JWE is more badass than in JPOG, appearance in JPOG is more badass than in JWE. I remember Jurassic Park Institute back when JPIII was in theaters

[@johncase1353]

Acrocanthosaurus is also going to be in the upcoming park building game Jurassic Park Operation Genius 2.

[@impsimp]

If looked really cool in Operation Genesis. I also like her in Evolution but her skull is incorrect, and she is a little too thick.

[@tyrantking1916]

Everyone hate Spinosaurus, and everyone love Acrocanthosaurus If someone get the point

[@Julie_Rios]

Ooh ahhh. I wanna see this guy in Jurassic World 3.

[@johan116100]

It should look like it did in warpath :3 All designs for it in that game is just so badass :D It should make some kind of appearance in the last JW film but if not, that's fine :)

[@HoundofOdin]

JWE is by far my favorite acro. It's like a carnivorous bulldozer.

[@spencerward4431]

I would love if you did a video on warpath. I also wonder would you want a remaster or even remake of warpath?
