Look man, cut the act and just admit that you're secretly one of the devs tryna troll us, ok? Then we can all get back to our team and crumpets or coffee and biscotti or milk and cookies

“The Indian smiles, he thinks the cowboy his friend. The cowboy smiles, he is glad the Indian is fooled. Now he can exploit him.”
Tortoises, flamingo, peafowl, lemurs, cassowary are some that i think still look really good to this day.
But to be honest i think pretty much every basegame, and most of the older DLC animals do show their age when you put them next to the new ones.
Most of them do share some minor issues, those being very vibrant colors and being rather "well fed".
Ofcourse some have more significant issues such as being very stylized like the lion, being limited by the tech from back then like the orang, having inaccurate models/colors like hyena and warthog or having inaccurate animations like the gharial
Honestly the first models were good in their time but now they look so off
But the models that i would say are very good these days are the next ones:
- Komodo Dragón (chef kiss)
- Bonobo
- Western Chimpanzee
- Pigmy Hippotamus
- African Bush Elephant ( still good but it could be so much better with the new tools )
- Aldabra Giant Tortoise ( i mean its model is good but the problem is the size )
- Greter Flamingo
- Souther Cassowary
- Darwf Caiman
I still remember how confused my mind was seeing Giant Anteater be in the top 5 best animals in my award show thread - safe to say its a good one lol
But it just doesn't make any sense from any perspective, so it just feel like this discussion is pointless
Keep in mind 2 of the 3 we've seen so far need extreme work for the fur (Markhor beard and baboon fluff), because of that I wouldn't be surprised if the one that takes a lot of work is the baboon.
If I was working for the devs, I'd be asking to join the marketing team to make up for what's been lacking
Feel free to look back at the discourse surrounding this subject.
I'm thinking mostly in terms of which models can just be copy-pasted into a sequel as they are. I think anything post South-East asia pack (including) can just go as is, but most stuff before needs tweaks. Animals I think are ready to go:
Base game:
- Bonobo
- Common ostrich
- Greater flamingo
- Indian peafowl
- Komodo dragon
- Pygmy hippo
- Thomson gazelle
- Western Chimpanzee
- Capuchin
- Cuvier's dwarf caiman
- Dall sheep
- Dingo
- Grey seal
- King penguin
- Southern cassowary
What if it was habitat…
I forgot Dingo! Yea they were one of my early dlc favorites cause it was the first time we had the new canid animations
Whats the chance it will be revealed tomorrow, I am going to say 20%.
Base game: Lemurs, gorilla, African elephant, Aldabra tortoise
Early DLC: Cassowary, capuchin, llama
Almost zero, they don't post on weekends
I don't think we've ever gotten a reveal on the weekend, I highly doubt that will change.
One of the animal modellers from 2023 must have time travelled to 2020 to make the southern cassowary, still easily one of the best looking animals in the game.
Cassowary 100%, the dingo was not half bad either, the Llama still holds up well, not as good as the Alpaca but still, then there is the White-Faced Capichun which is good, lastly the base game birds, lemurs, and Lesser Antelion Iguana
I don't remember exactly which were the year one DLCs
Arctic, Australia and South América?
If so the Cassowary is the one that still holds up against current animals. Dingos and dall sheep are alright, and i think llamas and capuchins are still pretty decent. I think llamas and anteaters would deffinetly benefit from the new fur textures (well all the animals but those would be the most shaggy of all the animals)
Also if we are counting deluxe i think all those animals are still pretty good.
Oh and about base game: i never has any problema with the elephants and giraffes. The Indian rhino looks also pretty good for base game. The peafowl i think still holds up very well though i wish they would add the iridiscent to the feathers (correct me if they already did that).
Carnivores are all atrocious tbh.
Lemurs are very good as well.
And i guess we are not considering newer additions like peccary and red deer.
And actually i don't have a problem with most of the ungulates in base game in regards to.models or skins (although all could use a glow up) but the main issue with them i think are the rigs.
