You may be best to read this article (link below) written by people who played the pre-alpha game and then say again if you are disappointed or not because obviously you are taking the wrong conclusions from a pre-rendered trailer.Hi everybody !
I'm a zookeeper in a European zoo. I'm crazy about planet coaster and therefore I was looking forward to a zoological version. When I learned that the game was born I was over excited !

It's always the same sauce as for Zoo Tycoon, Wildlife Park, Zoo Empire... with enrichments and ridiculous, unrealistic feeders. No animals do not play with giant footballs in zoos ! Again, there is nothing to build real night buildings (Backstages), greenhouses, aviaries, vivarium...
I hope that the game will be as faithful as possible to Planet Coaster, where every building, every scenography must be created with our own hands from start to finish. Judging the video, it seems that the buildings are already designed by the game as the entrance to the zoo. One more disappointment...
For the moment, I find that animals, especially brown bears, are not very realistic and make me think more of a cartoon... Always the same basic species (Lion, hippo, brown bear, ring-tailed lemur...) The animal world is not just about these species ! The only thing I had liked in Zoo Tycoon Ultimate Collection was that by clicking on a species we had many choices of subspecies or species of the same type. Perhaps it will be the same here ?
I am negative because I really expected a lot of this game, as something revolutionary but for now the trailer shows me the opposite...

Planet Zoo will feature "the most realistic animals in any game"
It's a huge claim, but one that could actually be true. Frontier's working on another entry for the Planet franchise, a…
