I have never played the first one, but I find theme parks to be a ton of fun! I just need to wait for a new computer if PC2 comes around. My laptop can run planet zoo, not great, but it does its job. PC2 would probably destroy my computer.

Also as much as I like theme parks I greatly like animals more, so I can’t see myself jumping to PC2. Especially considering I have a hard time making buildings in PZ, I can’t imagine how frustrated I would get trying to make a nice looking building but having no animals to counter balance it.

Yeah, i mean i think its admirable for them to promote much bigger habitat space, but at times its a little too much i think, especially when you take into consideration that this only gets more exaggerated as you put stuff down in the habitat and space is lost due to traverseable area.
For example i build a clouded leopard habitat recently and wanted to aline it with real life guidelines, so i looked up a care manual of zoos which gave 85m² as a minimum requirement split between an outdoor and indoor part. Which in terms of Planet Zoo is practically nothing, thats like 5 grit floor pieces, here their minimum is 534m²

I fully agree many of the minimum space requirements in real life are shockingly small like the clouded leopards and most zoo dont build close to that minimum. The only time this is really an issue is when it comes to small mammals which especially in a zoo setting where guest are supposed to be viewing them have no need for the huge space requirements they have like the caiman or exhibit box animals like spiders. It also makes recreating real life zoos hard without changing the scale dramatically in some cases like the polar bear which most zoo exhibits wouldnt even come close to an appropriate size in planet zoo.

Who would punish themselves to recreate any life sized habitat in any mode that isn't sandbox. It's there for a reason.

Yeah I know but in essentially a zoo simulation game the only way to recreate a real life zoo at least a reputable one anyways shouldn't be sandbox.

Eh idk, franchise isnt supposed to be the mode that focuses on building, its focus is clearly at management and the animals.
And animal space requirements arent the only hindrance in recreating something from real life, theres also the bizarre plant need of animals aswell as the guest need for food and toilets every 5 meters and probably more.
And tbh i think thats okay, there are different modes for a reason

Not interested in it either. I mean, I like building in PZ, but it certainly is not the reason I play the game. It is the animals themseves. I was considering getting Planet Coaster before, but I would probably play it for a week and then get back to PZ anyways, so the sequel is not that interesting to me either. I am only slightly curious at what improvements they will implement, but that is more of a curiosity than any real desire for the game I guess.

I played planet coaster for a couple hundred hours and never really liked it, the whole rollercoaster theme was never that exciting unless someone loves rollercoasters and all the theme park style building. A planet coaster 2 will surely be great for content creators and the existing audience of planet coaster

But me? I really hope frontier is creative for these new planet series games and makes something brand new, rehashing planet coaster and possibly planet zoo is not the best way to approach an exciting new future of creative management games. I hate the constant new jwe games, barely anything in a sequel is worth a triple A price tag. A new planet coaster will likely be the same thing, new graphics, some new "story" or goal, and more dlcs of the same thing.

Wait, why would you play a game that you dont like for multiple hundred hours? :D

In the eventual sequel I really hope they change this to make it more of a management feature and less of a hinderance. Frontier did this same thing in their XBOX ZooTycoon game, if the guests don’t have food, bathrooms, and entertainment around them at all times they started to get upset. My zoos in that game had less animals than anything and it started to get annoying.

Planet Zoo isn’t as bad, but still I think the requirement is way too high in the game still.

Random thought, since apparently the new console bundle also brought the gift shops in an update, will they have the same problems with the gift shops as we do on PC? 🤔

Id imagine they would take extra precautions to make sure it works proberly this time.
Not saying there wont be bugs, but im fairly certain they fixed what caused problems on PC before releasing it on console
