How Will Recent Discoveries Affect Jurassic Park 4?

A lot of discoveries have been made since 2001's Jurassic Park 3, and not all were about new dinosaurs. The Triceratops' butt spines, the fact that Torosaurus were actually just full grown Triceratops, and the sauropods like Diplodocus having spiny whip-like tails all are surprising news about the familiar dinosaurs we know and love. The changes are actually pretty unknown, so the creators of Jurassic Park 4 will probably take advantage of the ignorance and stick to the traditional look of the dinosaurs. Not only would it save money, but it would avoid confusing the fans as to why all the dinosaurs were colorful, had weird looking spikes on them, why the Velociraptors had feathers and were the size of a turkey, and why the long-necks weren't so slow and stupid and why they were killing the T-Rex that tried to attack them.
But you have to imagine it's an elephant in the room for critics. The material could simply come off as outdated. The dinosaurs would still look cool, but would be inaccurate. And while I don't think the producers will change anything, it's only human to think of it. Realism isn't a necessity for Jurassic Park 4. After all; it is an action movie, not a documentary.
