Ahhh nooooo. Its the little props that make it.

Mod for that within first week i bet. Actually a mate of mine is on the dev team. Ill ask him.

Wow really? That's cool. If there's one thing specifially about the game that I really like (from an inner-child dino nerd perspective) is how many inter-family species they have. Average 3/4 per family I think (herbivores obviously). And we still don't have the full roster yet!

So, you can add trees n roads. But nothing like the freedom of planet coaster. You can also add loads of amenities and shops for guests. More like a traditional sim in that respect.

Pretty much what I thought. Next time you're talking to your friend, if after JWE they're looking for ideas for their next project, tell them we desperately need a modern zoo sim! Pweez

They're doing a giveaway on facebook until 7

At least they were supposed to be doing it until 7 but they just ended it 10 minutes ago with no explanation. I won nothing

Mr Crispy

Nice vid from RPS, previewing some of the features.

Full species list confirmed! One thing I gotta say on the negative side is that I'm slightly disappointed in the species diversity. Yes it's amazing that there are multiple members of a family (5 ceratopids, 4 ankylosaurids, 4/5 stegosaurids, etc), but there are no kind of 'unique' dinosaurs that set themselves apart from the rest. A perfect example of that would have been therizinosaurus. Nonetheless the 37 species (42 if you get the deluxe edition) are pretty awesome, and then of course comes the Fallen Kingdom DLC with another 5/6 species I think after the movie release.

Will there be a Blood & Gore DLC?

No compies, the smallest dinosaur is the velociraptor (well that is Jurassic Park's franchise velociraptor, not the actual velociraptor).

Pugzilla

Hope Steam Workshop is supported. Would be interesting to see map and species mods.

If there's one thing I'm worried about it's the fighting visuals. I've seen footage of triceratops vs ceratosaurus, was pretty poor visually, almost like turn based combat. Just yesterday/today a video was released of deinonychus vs velociraptor, wasn't great either. They stared at each other, growled at each other, then they looked away like the other one wasn't there anymore and the deinonychus put her attention to another raptor.

My hopes aren't high. Strategy games that have been designed to appeal to console players tend to be poor.

Just have to look at the UI to see that it's dumbed down to suit consoles, very basic and flashy, can't imagine a lot of interesting cool unique parks like you would see in Planet Coaster. Can't see this having workshop support! can you imagine ridiculous looking dinosaurs with the Jurassic Park brand! i'd say some top execs would freak at the thought Xenomorph shaped dinosaurs on a killing spree in the game

Dirty console peasants ruin everything as usual.....

Well have to wait n see.
Hopefully your wrong. Steam workshop was one of the things that made PlanetCoaster awesome

In fairness its a game based on a franchise,it was always going to be a bit more mainstream over being a hardcore sim.

Pugzilla

I think it's been rushed to coincide with the film release. How many games tied into films turn out to be good?

Yeah I'm getting that rushed feeling too. The fact that dinos don't even sleep apart from when you tranq them is mind boggling. Several other little things as well. I think it'll be good, but there was a lot of things they should have done better.

Pugzilla

Dinosaurs slept in Operation Genesis (released in 2003), so can't understand how this is absent.

Already posted.

Disappointing to have only 3 small carnivores.

Yakult

Personally can't wait for this game, but to avoid disappointment, I won't be purchasing on release. Has a lot of potential, whether the dev's deliver is another story.

Pugzilla

It's a cash grab. Should've spent more time in development.

Sephiroth_dude

I won't be buying on release either, something doesn't feel right.

Graphics requirements on the Steam store has gone up a notch. Used to list the GTX660, and now it's cranked up to a 1050. They still have the 660 listed, but it says "Legacy GPU". The heck does that actually mean? First time I've ever seen it. As sh11ty as Valve are, being able to refund is brilliant.. which I shall either be doing or not cos my PC is a potato but I'm looking to get a new gaming PC in the next few coming weeks/months anyway.

Pugzilla

Just realised that there's no day/night cycle. The various islands are either in perpetual daylight or night. This is ridiculous.
