Zoo Tycoon FD and Zoo Tycoon

[Adam Lusardi]

Just looked at the latest info on the London stock exchange.
FD are developing Zoo Tycoon for Xbox One.
Does this mean the controller will work straight away for ED.

If ED supports the controlleur Xbox 360, support the Xbox controller One, should not be something insurmountable for Frontier ...

Does this mean the controller will work straight away for ED.

It's more dependent on when Microsoft releases the drivers. They've said 2014, but hopefully that will be early rather than mid or late. It's not so different from the 360 that the same profile shouldn't work. I imagine Microsoft will put in backwards compatibility themselves, so you can play all your old games with it.

It would be great if Frontier could take advantage of the new rumble-motors in the triggers though.

Taste of FD technical capabilities for walking on planets

As we know, David's FD works on lot of other stuff, including different Tycoon series. Thanks to FD Twitter account, I watched this video http://www.ign.com/videos/2013/08/20/zoo-tycoon-demo-gamescom-2013 for Zoo Tycoon for XBox One/360. I must say this looks amazing, and shows tech and capabilities of FD developers to deliver goods, especially on emulating good looking environment.

I know this post could probably belong in Off-topic, but still wanted to share it here.

I thought exactly the same, thats what the planetary landings will look like. (With maybe a few less giraffes. )

You can never have too many giraffes.

It might be worth pointing out that David could also have animals in the ED that would view you and your ship (canned meat) as a tasty snack instead of just being there for target practice. Perhaps its not just the players who will be "dangerous" in the game, but sometimes the fauna too. Elite lore is full of such creatures.

Pew pew would be too easy... I would prefer hours long sitting in vintage point to nail it down...that would make legend.

I'm thinking of a Diplodocus sized T Rex. Now that would be a shock when you land your ship

 

[Oddball]

I just thought I would say that this is a fantastic looking game. Its so refreshing to see something different. I am sure it will be a huge success.

[EDIT]
Has anyone seen the demo to this game? It is awesome! Was going to spend the rest of my life playing Elite Dangerous but now I am having seconds thoughts.

p.s. Can you have camels in your zoo?

Perhaps and perhaps not http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ToServeMan
