You are wrong. They didn't have a span of 2 years. They had 18 months to make this game. Which is one of things that makes this game so amazing. That they were able to make this game, make it playable and get it on the market in a year and a half. The game on release was completely playable and it was a fun and amazing game. You could complete the game with no issues. The Dinosaurs look amazing and the animations were great. They accomplished all this in a year and half.
JWE is fine. It was a good game on release. JWE 2 if it's released will most likely sell just as well. I would buy it.
Depends on what you expect them to fix. Certain things will never be fixed. The only thing they can do is make a new game.
If there is a JWE 2 they have probably been working on since late 2018.
We'll just have to wait and see, but I doubt it. For the one hand, I do think how many people still plays is important in as much as they will be the first to be interested in a sequel. On the other hand, what they did with JWE's launch (misleading trailers, shallow and overprized base-game...) I don't think will work a second time. I know players like me won't be preordering any sequel, for instance, and some will likely wait or pirate the game to see if it is worth the money before buying what could potentially be the same a second time.
Anyway, it is no wonder JWE saw a decline in it's playerbase considering how long it took for meaningful updates to come and how silent FD have been.
In addition:
I was thinking as I was playing JWE today. Not all of the upgrades make sense. Usually things are tough at the basic level where you start. Then as you go, it gets easier with the R&D that is to make things a bit better. More efficient as progression should but I found that doesn't exactly happen overall in JWE. A lot seems to be in exchanging, not ultimately upgrading. Buildings remain the same for the most part and doesn't get easier or smaller. Though you would think they would so that the production and running of making the animals, securing them and taking care of them would overall be happening as you go along. I'm not saying it doesn't happen at all as there is progression. However not to a greater degree as you would think of it. The hatchery remains the same. It still takes up the same space as the others do. It would be helpful in part of the progression for the building to shrink in the matter of space required as they become more efficient. Then, I don't entirely understand why we keep different levels of upgrades. I don't downgrade unless it is for a contract which sometimes the contracts don't make sense. For Example: I have one for an expedition. I can't do that because all of them are tapped out. So, why am I getting that kind of contract? Or asking for a Level 2 speed upgrade when I already have a Level 3. I say these things need to be tweaked quite a bit for the possible JWE2.
I was also playing around with the genetic traits. Sometimes the viability goes into the negative. Even if I have Level 3 upgrades for it that are locked in. It's for the most part impossible to get that animal. I think that definitely needs a bit more work. Making head way through Secrets of Dr. Wu. It would have been nice if that was expanded upon for more hybrids to come into play.
So much potential, hoping and expecting so much from JWE2.
Also in hoping for many aquatic and aviary creatures for the game. Variety and uniqueness adds more interest and investment into the game. Much to hope for as well as more to having better ecosystems within enclosures would be to that benefit.

No, it's not important at all. Do you think large amounts of people were still playing Modern Warfare 1 when Modern Warfare 2 came out? No, they weren't. Modern Warfare 2 sold just as well if not better than Modern warfare 1. For a more recent example Red Dead 1, which had a 10% completion rate. That means 10% of the people who bought it actually completed the game. Between 2010 and 2018 I am sure there weren't tons of people playing Red Dead 1 yet the RDR 2 sequel sold really well. It sold 24 million copies in it's first few weeks. So this idea that JWE needs a high number of players still playing the game to help a sequel sell well is ridiculously wrong.
There were no misleading trailers. You mislead yourself by believing what you wanted to believe. Frontier never promised you anything. This whole idea that they mislead anyone is also ridiculous and wrong. Completely wrong.
Just because you won't buy the sequel doesn't mean no one else will. I would buy a sequel. I have enjoyed JWE. As far as saying people will pirate the game, of course they will. Games always get pirated and that means nothing. Game piracy is actually pretty small. Claiming people will pirate the game is about is meaningless as saying the game has seen a large drop in players.
Not to mention that having a sequel makes sense with the coming next gen hardware in the next couple of years in addition to the third movie installment. That would be excellent marketing. Engine improvements, a foundation in which they can expand on with what they are doing with the animals in Planet Zoo. Just imagine if the dinos would have individual personalities. If not also more herd and pack interactions. Not to mention my hope for more of a cinematic like approach to make it a bit more epic if they try. Esp with the interactions with one another and the environment. It would be nice if they didn't clip one another and also walls, gates and etc.

A sequel should mean improvements. Of course that isn't always the case as of late with some games and developers. But that's the usual idea. A sequel improves on the original. Otherwise there is really no point.
Please no breeding!
Why not? It's one of the most requests things on the forum.
It would be awesome to have breeding. It would be awesome to see the egg hatch within a lab and grow while checking up on it. Then once big enough to let out. It doesn't make complete sense to just release an animal when fully grown. I hope JWE2 will have adolescent animals. Could even have things like the giant dragonflies and things like that. Giving male and female animals to breed within the enclosure would be nice. Then having to send in rangers to collect the eggs so that they can be carefully born within the lab. Electric fences would be bad for baby animals.
That isn't how they did things in the movies or novels. The Dinosaurs were made in a like factory or plant on Site B. The little lab setup Hammond showed people on JP was just a lie. The animals were actually made on Site B and shipped to JP. In the movies they were all created in labs in a kind of industrial process. Waiting for the Dinosaurs to mate and lay eggs would be really inefficient. It's made clear in the novels that doing that was not cheap.
Also I think the whole process you want to see would be a bit much even for JWE 2.
Completely wrong. While dinos were indeed made in factories, even novel canon states tjat they eventually had to stop raising them to adulthood inside labs because of mysterious diseases and they begun releasing them into the wild on Sorna to grow before catching them back and taking them to Nublar.
Waiting for dinosaurs to mate and lay eggs would actually be the most efficient way to keep production numbers. However modern and top we think our tech is, nature always does things best, in the general context.
The thing is, gene splicing and cloning are bound to be not only expensive but also highly problematic and delicate on many levels. Novel canon says that far; besides, when the animals hatch, certain species might need cares we know not off, so breeding programs could both produce income from research and dramatically increase hatchling rates.
Also, yes, I'm aware that animal breeding in captivity is hard most of the time BUT, dinosaurs were kept in a semi-wild (if not wild) regime, so ignoring factors such as modern atmosphere and enviromental variables, I'd say they would thrive fine enough.
Still, if need further proofs of that, just watch those raptor eggs in JP and the breeding problem they had in the novel. If dinosaurs not meant to bred managed to do so, breeding programs would surely be a success.
Anyway, if that whole process will be "much even for JWE2", then we could just move to Prehistoric Kingdom: they are not even in alpha state, but their demo already sports ontogeny nice enough. So, are you telling a company such as FD lacks the resources needed to implement a similar feature? Curious
I know t
The animals did live on their own according to PJ 2 & 3. So it could work in there. It would be fun.
I know to an extent, but it would be cool. It would give that little bit of anticipation. Besides, I'm not saying waiting for them to lay eggs would be the only way to go. I'm saying that would be a second way of getting more animals. Could even sell more without spending more money.

Just a fun concept that would be enjoyable if implemented. We don't need to go for ultra realistic in the game
Well, I wouldn't say PK's ontogeny is ultrarealistic, but to me it would be most basic aspect of such a feature.
I wouldn't mind about eggs and nesting (much) but showing the animal's growth would do fine, as that matches at least novel canon's park management.
You are wrong. Making the dinosaurs in a production facility would be much more efficient and cost effective. They didn't want the Dinosaurs breeding in the movies and novel which is why they were all female. The point was to keep the populations in control.
You can go wait for Prehistoric Kingdom if you want. I will stick with JWE and wait and see if JWE 2 comes along. You act like PK is released already and it hasn't been. So far they haven't shown much of the game at all. I will admit that the stuff I have seen recently it looks pretty good and I am interested. But the problem is it's not been released. It's not even in beta. But JWE can be played now and it's really good. PK seems like it's a long way off and it might never get released. They could just decide it's too much work and abandon it or release a half finished game. Plus PK doesn't have the JW/JP brand and theme with it. It's not going to replace JWE cause it can't. One of the reasons why people like this game is because it uses the JP/JW property.
PK had so much promise when it started. So far seeing the models and such. I have to say, I'm not too impressed. I hope it is a good game, but I rather on the potential that JWE2 can bring. In the meantime, I'll enjoy JWE
So much to hope for in the awaited sequel. Also did you hear that the next movie might not be the last one in the series? Article talked about a possible 4 and 5 additions to the movies.
