Jurassic Park: Survival

Jurassic Park: Survival is a cancelled PS2, Xbox, GameCube, and PC game by Savage Entertainment. The game was to be released alongside Jurassic Park III but not based on the film.

Plot
The plot revolved around a third secret island full of dinosaurs. A shadowy organisation, keen on acquiring dinosaur DNA, attacks and takes control of the island. You play David Vaughn, security technician, and must rescue the humans from the dinosaurs and the organisation.

Gameplay
The game was to be a combination of Turok and Tomb Raider. There are 12 levels, each with a mixture of platforming, stealth, and dinosaurs. To aid you are plenty of weapons, like guns, rocket launchers, and cattle prods.

Development
Survival started off as Jurassic Park III, based on the movie. As the movie was in production, Savage was unable to adequately source it, so they made their own stand-alone game.

Various versions were in production:
 * The PS2 version was the most discussed.
 * The Xbox version was to be called Jurassic Park X.
 * The GameCube version was the least faithful, and it never got a release date.
 * The PC version was announced but no more was spoken of it.

The Xbox version release date was shifted to coincide with the PS2 version release. The GameCube version was abandoned, probably due to being not a powerful enough system.

Cancellation
In July 2001, Vivendi Universal delayed the game due to poor quality, especially animations. In November 2001, Savage Entertainment quit working on the game due to Vivendi not providing funding.

Jurassic Park: Survival was expected to be picked up by a different developer and worked on for a 2002 release. That did not happen.
