Removed Content From Jurassic Park Operation Genesis 

jpog did something that jwe couldn't replicate which was the vibe, not sure how to describe it but when it comes to jpog, it holds the feels i'd get from jp movies

Operation Genesis is the Fallout: New Vegas of the Jurassic Park franchise. Had so much of its intended content cut before release but still went on to become one of the best additions within its franchise.

I'm hoping that someone makes an open-source reverse engineered source port of JPOG that greatly expands on the vanilla modding capabilities.

20 years...... Im 23 and I grew up playing this everyday

This game could have been absolutely incredible if the developers were given more time to make this content, like seriously the dinosaurs were almost able to breed?! That would have made Site B so much more poignant and you wouldn't have to keep making more dinosaurs in hatcheries and it could truly be wild.

I miss playing this game. I used to love getting my park to five stars and then releasing the dinosaurs and removing all shelters from the island. Great times.

I like how this PS2 game from 2003 was more ballsy than the game made 15 years later with the same premise and better technology. I miss Blue Tongue so much.

I really wish that JPOG would get remastered or just ported to steam and all modern consoles with all of this cut content, and maybe they could even remove the 60 dinosaur limit. I just enjoy JPOG more than JW:E 1 and 2, it feels like a more complete game than they do.

Not sure how you only have 400ish subscribers. Very well made video! Very nice intro as well :) keep up the great work!

It pains me how much was cut. This is THE definitive JP game for me. Man...... I can't imagine what it would have been like if they released the version they had planned

Steps to make Jurassic Park work, according to John Hammond: 1) Just build the park 2) Populate it with Dinosaurs 3) Lots of Dinosaurs... 4) ??? 5) Profit!

I've always wanted to see a video like this, I love JPOG and I wanted to know a little bit about its development.

Even I wouldn't personally give Lucca the satisfaction of owning all the credit for the resources featured here on this video, it's amazing to witness some of these models arise from their game files. Things such as the Vet and Med facilities were understandably cut out due to the Ranger Station's existence and time constraints. But despite this, the opportunity of restoring the content was there--and still is. Some mods have included their own behavioral mechanisms and buildings in conjunction with the original's games handiwork along with some of the cut foliages and animals like Baryonyx and Iguanodon--and many more. Frankly JWE may proceed in out besting its forerunner but JPOG modding will never die out. Perhaps may be next some modder will find a way to incorporate a John Hammond game model as originally intended for one of its missions.

Wow. So much cut content, could've easily become an expansion

Shadows, water ripples, day night cycles, sand should have had been added. Would have been cool to see what the park looks like during night and sunset

As much as I adore the JPOG we got, its a shame they had to cut out a lot of stuff that would have been cool to see in the game.

I hope they make a mod where they introduce all the cut content such as dinosaurs, day-night cycle, constructions, dinosaur reproduction system, it would be fantastic

Imagine if someone brought all of this cut content back in a mod 'JPOG: Restored/Re-caged'

Looking back this video explains so much behind the promo images, and these unfiltered 3D really bring back the old pc/Xbox original era nostalgia. Brilliant work in showing us this. Thank you!

God this game is such a gem. So sad the devs couldn't achieve their vision of it due to the limitations of their time.

There's SO MUCH potential that JWE could pull from JPOG but just never does sadly... :/ Like for example I never liked they didn't feature the minimal blood and gore of JPOG, or a carnivore grab and thrash mechanic, the lack of cows as a food option for carnivores, or the lack of lethal security measures like in JPOG, or even the lack of a custom island creator. If they gave us some of this missed potential and even enhanced the dinosaur behaviors and possibly adding unique quirks or even random personalities or traits to the Dinosaurs(like being docile/submissive by nature or being completely unhinged and attacking anything and everything on sight), then I feel like JWE could really contend with and possibly beat JPOG in terms of being a Dino Park Sim. We might have mods eventually to fix that though, so far we already do have a fix to some of the missing dinosaur behaviors thanks to modding in JWE2 as well.

I knew it! I always felt like it was suppose to have breeding in the game and genders. That's one thing I wanted for the game more then anything, I was so disappointed that they never added. Also it always did felt like it was missing more content. this is amazing I wonder what it be like if they did do more to the game if they had more time on schedule?

I am a bit confused there where supposed to be 42 species in Jurassic park operation genesis and so they just cut to 25 species instead but I haven't noticed there were originally planned and more as well

It was about two weeks ago that I had an idea to make this video as my first legit YT video, you beat me to the punch!

All of those dinosaurs would’ve been great to have, and who knew that we could’ve gotten marine and flying reptiles!

Very well structured video! Also lots of good info! Great job!👍👏

I would love to see a remaster/remake of the game that added in all of these features while still keeping the JPOG look and feel. JWE and JWE2 are awesome in their own right, but neither of those spiritual successors to JPOG have the JPOG feel.

Hey yall fans! Im about to release a couple of jpog mods on moddb in a few weeks! stay tuned!

Jurassic wolrd evolution 2 basically adds all JPOG cut content as DLC, nice to see all dinosaurs and buildings eventually. Yuturannus will appear march 30.

Me and an hardcord original modder named GODZILLA used to make mods for this game. HE AND I CREATED THE ORIGNAL JPOG BABY POOP MOD (where when they poo they make mini versions of them selves instead) and many of the contributions of the "PMEP V2"

Spent so much time playing this back in the day. Great game. Thanks for the interesting video!

Bro knowing all these infos like 20 years later makes me think that the game could have been much better than retail though it's still a 10/10 😂😅

Ben124 here!! I would love to see more videos about that incredible game!! Maybe a gameplay video

Love if someone does a remastered of JPOG at some point with all features and cut content, so yeah

Even just a remaster of JPOG would bury the JWE series. It isn't nostalgia, anyone who says that shit clearly hasn't played JPOG then jumped directly into JWE, only things JWE has going for it over JPOG is graphics (15 years of hardware becoming more powerful, no freaking duh) and online updates, hell if JPOG had online updates, this cut content could've been added post launch and all it'd need would be a remaster, there'd be no need for JWE at all. There's more involvement and personality to it than JWE 1&2, and the only real "involvement" JWE 2 added was "omg the non existany stock image scientists are whining, oh no, set a timer on my phone and ignore the game until it goes off." The lack of gameplay is astounding, no guests requiring rescue if a tour vehicle is destroyed, because get this, even in JWE 2 they aren't actual models, still just static images that clip through eachother and buildings just so there can be "MORE" on screen. All about the quantity over quality with JWE 1&2. Still no lethal options to take down a rampaging dino, even if it was due to supposed restraints from Universal going "No guns" (Despite that being a glaringly stupid contradiction from the very series these games are based on, especially Jurassic World which was the basis for JWE, given that they went after the I. Rex with rocket launchers and a goddamn minigun), they could've gone along the lines of oh idk, LETHAL GENE?! Like JPOG did 15 years before it and 18 before JWE 2?! Ffs. I have more but this is enough of a rant as it is. JPOG is better on all grounds other than it doesn't have as many dinos, and oh no the graphics, so horrible.. but the real issue and the superficial one can literally be chalked up to the Iron Man 2 quote "I am limited by the technology of my time."

Interesting Video. I never knew that the JP Institute was planned to be included.

Very informative, thanks. You should lower the music volume a bit on your next videos, otherwise, good stuff. Subbed

loved the vid, would've loved that content to be added, also, got a question, what's the spooky soundtrack you added at your outro? I've heard it before but can't remember where

Fantastic video! It's so interesting and yet so sad as well to see what else could have been present in (as far as I'm concerned) the best Jurassic Park game ever. I love JPOG to death, but man it could've been even greater. Just confused about "loading screen tips" being supposedly cut from the game, when they're very much in the game, but otherwise great vid!

Great video. In future, I would suggest decreasing the music volume. It's a little on the loud side.

Woah this is kinda new info to me. Thanks for making a video about it!

I miss Blue Fang so much :(

I’m assuming most was cut due to time restraints or difficulty in implementing these features but these would have been so cool!

It’s crazy that despite so much cut content that it’s still a great game with so much in it!

Interesting Video. Watching the JPOG intro hit me right in the nostalgia. Its crazy to think, even with these cut features JPOG was a SOLID game. Probably the first computer game i EVER played before WoW. Yet here i am playing JWE2 20years later. Ya its not AS good as JPOG was, but it just goes to show that JPOG made such an impact on me that i still enjoy games that mimic its glory.

They don't call it J "pog" for no reason

Video randomly popped up in my ytube feed. No complaints I do love my memories of Operation Genesis. Many childhood hours spent just watching dinos roam around or cause terror. Only game back then that was really dino focused in the JP world. Other than Trespasser that I didn't know existed back then.

This game will be always be in our hearts!

This game was my childhood.

I used to play this game for hours.

Talk louder or lower the music. I used to play this game. So addictive. I have PTSD from hurricane sirens lol! Nice video, didnt know all that.

I have so much nostalgia for this game I remember getting it on release day.. 🥺

I remember always being disappointed and confused that i could never get all the buildings that were on the box! From memory the hunting tower was right on the box

In my opinion someone should get permission from Universal to bring this old game back and gave it an update and long with bring it back all that deleted and cut stuff and add stuff to it

JWE is good, but nothing can beat JPOG. Played it to death, can still quote the intro by heart.

god, this game brings back so many memories esp when the Lost World Jurassic Park released when I was kid.

The music is a little to loud compare to your voice ! But great video, and thank you for sharing this !

Yeah, the tragedy that comes with game development is cut content. Especially due to time constraints and sometimes the devs can't make it work either.. I knew about the cut dinosaurs but not the other cut content so it's cool to see this stuff finally revealed. Good thing is a lot of that content did eventually make its way to Jurassic World: Evolution and it's sequel. The same thing for cut dinosaurs, many of those are currently in JWE and its sequel.

I always went into the files and edited the values. I remember seeing bits and pieces of cut content while in there and always wished to see the game in it's full glory. I still played the hell out of it though.

Some of the dinosaurs that were cut from jpog made into jwe1 but in jwe2 we get some of those in the game.

damn a forest fire would’ve sucked if it was anything like the twisters

JPOG, my childhood.

Wow, I hope they make a sequel about it

I was just playing JPOG. My park is 4.5 stars and has both a T-rex and a Spinosaur

fondness memory for this game was going to Site B and trying to drown the dinos!

this game could of become big iff someone brings out a JPOG 2 with more content, better graphics and keep the same things as JPOG 1 then we all would be happy to give them 50 bucks for it

JPOG still the best dinosaur game out there, would've loved to see these things recreated and fine tuned for a mod

Does anyone else never skip the JPOG intro?

See one thing that Jpog has over the Jwe series is replayability. Jpog has that slight bit of randomness with each playthrough, different islands, Dig sites etc.

Still remember i bought this game at a store, awesome time, very long long ago... big gem of a game indeed. Thanks to show us how awesome this game was, and how amazing is even could be, lol overrun pass Jurassic World Evolution xD

So evolution took a lot of cut concepts and included them in the game interesting bit of history

That intro released some weapons-grade nostalgia in me.

It would’ve been awesome if JPOG had aquatics.

there was also a different Safari Tour Depot that was shown off in promotional images.

they need to put this back on steam

I played so much Operation Genesis, that at one point it completely fried my computer during a particularly hot summer day.

good video. one criticism is that I'd suggest turning the music down a bit

I have 0 knowledge of programming, but would it be feasible for some dedicated fan to let's say "recreate" JPOG in some modern game engine and add all of this cut content into it? In the end it's not the most complex game ever.

Some of the cut content is coming to Jurassic world evolution 2 hopefully the baby dinos/sizing will release

Say what you want about JWE2 but I am glad that they revived a lot of the cut content from JPOG.

I always wanted dinos to walk on mountains

I wish evolution was more like this one

JPOG was the first video game I bought with my own money, it will always be special to me

Spent way too much playing this game when was a kid.

The green helicopter also changed, it was smaller and had a different model, Why did they change the model of the green helicopter?

Even you can see the cut content in the intro

I want a remake for this game so bad...... my childhood right here.

Cool! I never knew about these!

Happy 20th jpog!!🙌💝🤩

i like to imagine a sequel for this game would it be welcomed or not

Love the Jurassic content my guy. Keep it up

I wonder if any modder has added in all of this cut content? The true vision for JP Operation Genesis...

They could always do a remake of JPOG and add these features. I hear tell that Jurassic World evolution isn’t quite on par with Operation Genesis.

Dang where can I find this to play again?

nice video thanks! but maaan the music is loud

JPOG could have been the best game if it was managed properly. Its kind of sad that so much was cut and removed but I can't blame them entirely. A Jurassic Park game at that time wasn't going to get the right budget or time to be fully realised when there was no new movie to help out on sales or build hype. That's why we even got JWE in the first place.

We could've had redwoods!?

I played a demo of the game on my old laptop.

I miss this game, really

They need to bring this back and update the modles and graphics
