They wouldn't introduce fully-aquatic habitats just for the manatee. Either sea turtles/dolphins/sharks come along or none of them do.
Spring 2024 DLC Speculation
- Thread starter The Carcharodontogenius
- Start date
The malayan tapir is a DLC animal, something that customers paid for and were unsatisfied. So by doing this, Frontier delivered to those who paid for this remodeling, to be actually remodelled. It's a not a free update, unless they start doing it for basegame animals, which I could see coming in a type of "deluxe pack" where you pay extra for 20 animals to be remodelled.
Well I don't know about you but I paid for the base game so every base game animal is still an animal I paid for. Especially the lion as the cover art animal that possibly lured everyone into looking at the game and we get a cartoony male lion.
That is the case with...evey animal in the game. None of it was free. If the tapir remodel wasn't a "free update" then none of the updates are "free update" because they are introducing features to the base game, which everyone who plays at one time paid for.
I'm calling it now but the Malayan tapir remake is just a one-time thing because seriously speaking, the situation with that animal was really pathetic being literally a Baird's tapir with a different base fur texture. They are definitely not going to remake any of the base game animals, because even if they are way worse than DLC ones, they aren't literal clones. I would really love to get an official remastered lion, tiger, or even elephant, but as it stands they don't really have any legit reason to do so, people aren't gonna stop playing the game because the lion is not photorealistic.
So the current ideas floating around for the next pack are:
- Latin/Central America Scenery Pack
- Some sort of sequel North America Scenery Pack (Boreal, Coastal, etc)
- Mountains Scenery Pack
Petting zoo
Domestics neeeeed to come“Need” is a strong wordPetting zoo
if its a LA scenery pack I will actually scream. With anger.
We need an animal pack to fill out LA. Not a scenery pack.
I know“Need” is a strong word
I think at this point they are aware of this but i'm not sure if it is too late to change it up if that's the case. I hope is not
I’ll take another South American scenery set, but it has to be different than the 2 current ones we have gotten.
We have 2?
Technically we do but it was in one pack. The bamboo and thatch scenery and the ruined temple brick scenery.
South America pack and I counted the Tropical packs because it has a lot of varianted pieces from the SA pack.
Seems about right.
Latin/Central/South America is probably the most overall "need" when it comes to terrestrial animals, but it should be an animal pack. Could they flip and do 2 animal packs back to back, yes...but I also agree it's possible they'll do a Boreal/Woodlands type of pack as you say, representing a revisit to North America.
Mountains is possible as well of course, I would say it "feels" like it would be a more fall or winter type of release, but so would a boreal pack. I want to just throw out the entire idea of seasonal related pack - but looking at it this way - and these seasons are all for what would be Northern Hemisphere seasons - Twilight matched fall, Tropical matched spring, Arid matched Summer, and Oceania matched fall by it being a temperate pack. Eurasia is all over the place with just one animal that's set more for colder weather, it's alos go tropical and grasslands as well, so it would have been a good set for any season. Grasslands definitely didn't match the seasons. Still, that's 4 of the last 6 packs that have some corelationa to season and theme.
I really hope they just flip the SP/AP pattern and the spring pack will be the Latin American animal pack.
