JWE 2

Unless they completely abandon the park building genre for something else, there's pretty much no way the game will be completely different... the best you could hope for is a more Zoo Tycoon 2 game as oppose to a JPOG one...
What I am saying is, it would be a different storyline, an extension to the campaign perhaps. So that you aren't playing the same game. Just read my thread about this.

It would be nice if there were a deeper story associated with the campaign, but then again I'm hoping for more cinematic treatment to the game.

BestInShot made a new vid about what he would like in JWE. It made me think a bit more about what I would like to see in JWE2. So, I came up with a more adept sandbox as we need a lot more territory for an ultimate sandbox for our animals to roam in. Where we are given complete freedom of what happens in that sandbox. I also think it would be a great idea if you 5 star one of the campaign islands. Then it would unlock a sandbox ability for that island. Instead of having to continually contest with the challenges it presents. I would like a refresh take on the Claire Sanctuary. I want it to be longer with more collectibles, unlocks, story and challenge. I didn't see lava once. I want to race against the clock while seeing lava coming to take everything away. I want to feel like I'm saving my animals from something that can take them away.

I would like to see holograms of the animals. They had them within the JW movie. Why not in the game? Why don't we have skeletons and amber decor like within the movie? I would like to see all of this present in JWE2.

I also want to really think about the addition of aquatics. Not just to place a pool down in an area. Even though I would like a stadium much like the Mosasaurus. I'm thinking underwater tunnels and hubs much like in Jaws 3. Where you can build an enclosure from shore into open water. Therefore expanding your park and entertainment value. If the aquatics get uncomfortable much like our land animals. Then they try to break through the barrier. We could have ships and subs to hunt them down. Also be able to take pics of them and etc. Not to mention an aquatic hatchery. Alternative power sources, feeding and such. Unique animations are needed all around for each of the animals. There has to be several of them. Not to mention sub like rides to see the aquatics.

Thinking about the aviary is essentially a really big birdcage. It would make sense to build these on top of enclosures. Where by adding roosting nest/areas where the pterosaurs would be to perch. Perhaps even add waterfalls and feeds of some kind for them in addition to the other animals. Monorails could tunnel through the cage. Looking towers could be added to the cage where it becomes part of the enclosure where all animals inside would be contained. Of course if the animals become uncomfortable then they would proceed to try to break the barrier. If broken then pterosaurs as well as any other animals within the containment would be able to break free if on land. ACU would essentially have to be used in order to retrieve pterosaurs. Which also means the ACU platform would need to be upgraded to house more than one helicopter.

Imagine if you could make an enclosure that would house all three. That would be interesting and fun.

It would be nice to be able to make monorails less intrusive within enclosures. Perhaps a nice upgrade for them. Also for the weather like a tornado. Shelters should be opened so that people would be able to be safe. They aren't there just for rampaging animals. Shelters also should be upgraded to be better in protection and housing more people.

Carnivores fighting and wounding each other just seconds later to do it again to the death. Doesn't make any sense. Carnivores should fight for dominance which isn't to the death. For food which if there is food which satisfies there hunger. Then of course they shouldn't be going after the herbivores, unless they are an insane psychotic hybrid like the I-Rex and Indoraptor. This is on addition to what my first post was stating.

Now that these animals are established in JWE. I want each of them expanded on as I also stated. With PZ showing individual characteristics within the different kinds of animals. I want that to be more present with these animals.

I want dramatic situations to occur, especially as you are building up. These create challenges where you as the player. Must deal with it and bring it back to being a safe and stable park.

Again Frontier, we don't want to see the same thing over and over again even if it is the same basic situation. Please show them occur in different ways. These creates interest and much more on wanting to replay it. They can be kept at random. Even special live occurrences at random that aren't scripted that can happen at any given time throughout the campaign of the different islands.

Of course more decor, more canon objects from the movies would be appreciated. Definitely wanting more from JP Saga and from the JW series so far as well as to what is to come like in JW3.

Please make it easier to add a sum amount of how many animals we would like to hatch much like in other RTS games. So that we wouldn't have to continue to go back and click through the motions to do it manually. This should only happen if we are to cancel the process. Mini exhibits would greatly be appreciated for small dinos, insects and such. Also in addition to buildings would be customizable in color and maybe some other structural shapes that would seem in harmony of the canon, would also be appreciated. More animal skins is a must. A way to preview your animal with the skin choice would be nice.

Like Clarie's Sanctuary to be made better and extended. I would like The Secrets of Dr. Wu to be the same to add more into the game. Perhaps improve the designs of the hybrids as well.

The animals for eating, drinking, invisible walls and clipping need to be improved. Sauropods and the like sometimes dunk their whole head in the water or not far enough to drink. The eating needs a bit more improvement. I want to be surprised that hey, it's mouth is really grabbing the plant matter and chewing it up or the carnivore taking a chunk of flesh off of another animal that is actually ripping and tearing flesh. Then chewed and swallowed or just swallowed for example.

I understand JWE had more to do with the confines of area for sake of the challenge but ultimately it is to keep the park entertaining, secure and profitable. Depending on the animals and the visitors. So I would like to see JWE2 be more about this, instead the confines of the area as the islands should be the playgrounds that gives options of the parks we want to build on them. Especially after overcoming the challenges.

I'm grateful for what Frontier has accomplished with JWE. So, I hope this pushes Frontier in being better for the sequel and try to aim in reaching the goal of potential that it could be. Put the bar high and accomplish more than what you were hoping is the essence for a great game.

It would be fun to have raptor training. Hope for more actual camos of the actual JP/JW animals. Perhaps even the canon characters as we were given a touch of that with JWE. Hoping for more :) So those are my thoughts so far in addition to my others. :)

Except are you absolutely, truely, really positivity, 100% certain a sequel is in the making? Until official sources claim otherwise, I wouldn’t recommend getting all too exited yet for something that isn’t officially revealed, or at least confirmed officially, yet.

Almost everything Frontier Developments want to make for an IP existing series based game needs approval and, if need so, guidance from their respectful IP owners. Even though Frontier are the ones who developed Jurassic World Evolution and its content, it's still not entirely theirs to do anything, or at least everything, with it or with any game that's based on an existing un-owned IP series independently. And despite clear evidence of leaked information from the two 4Chan leaks becoming true overtime from the same leaker, especially big and very detailed pieces of information, there’s still stuff in both of them I’m still clearly suspicious and skeptical of.

What you, myself and everyone else here want in order to solve these mysteries are confirmation from official sources if we all want to find out for certain if any pieces of the yet to be revealed information from the two leaks are true or not, to any degree.

Things change over time when they can, and both trickster and deluded users are all over the internet, so you’ve got to be careful with what you read and hear, in case a suggested "leaked" piece of information doesn’t become so.

Personally, after a lot of pondering, I abstained from purchasing JWE due to the reluctant opinions i've read in this forum.

The upcoming"Planet Zoo", however, seems realy promissing and combines "Planet Coaster"'s freedom of creativity with a theme (animals) that appeals to me more than an amusement park and its rides. I will probably get it. :)

Anyway, this thread's topic is JWE2. Wouldn't a jurassic park game combined with the "Planet XYZ" technology and freedom use the best of each worlds?
Or would the games be too similar ("Planet Zoo" and the hypothetical "Jurrasic Planet") to spark your imagination and hype?

Make no mistake, I know it is only a rumor. But it is an interesting conversation about what if there is a possible sequel in the works. What us as the players would like to be in that sequel. All in all, it makes sense that they would. Due to hardware advancements that will be pushed in the next gen as well as the improvements with their game engine. I would like official certainty as everyone would. Given that JW3 is coming in 2021. It would make sense that if a sequel was to come out. Then that would be the ideal time for it to come to consumers.

So this is for a discussion in the hopes of what could very well be in that sequel. If that is indeed the case. Also the more people that show interest in a possible sequel. Frontier as well as Universal then are shown that their is a market for it. I believe even how well JWE has been received and worked on with great deal of improvements. That the sequel is more likely. Again though, like many others. I'm hoping for official confirmation. Till then, we can discuss what we would hope would be in the game as these are things. They won't be adding to the present JWE.

I wouldn't be reluctant to JWE. I've pre-ordered it and ever since. It has only gotten better. I think you would enjoy it. True it isn't like PZ but it isn't suppose to be as it is "Universal Studios" property. Therefore the freedom that is in JWE is limited. Which is why, in hoping that JWE2 would be able to build to make greater strives while staying within the confines of JP/JW property. But just as JWE2 hasn't been officially confirmed, neither has a "Jurassic Planet". It is so far rumored of a JWE2 and which is the reason we are discussing what we hope will come in that sequel, within the confines of the property. :)

I believe this gives a great variety for all different groups not including all the dinos within JWE that would move over to JWE2. Given the number of so many animals for each category. Shows that there would be a lot of interest in having these and also how then they would interact with each other in an ecosystem like environment. I would understand if Extinct animals would be on hold as a DLC or not included at all. However, given the fact that other games and mediums have presented them and it isn't too far fetch to add them into the game as per John Hammond's statements from JP. He and Dr. Malcolm spoke to that extent of just producing an animal that is on the edge of extinction. Given the fact that he brought animals back from extinction. These animals wouldn't be too far fetch in addition to the game. I didn't make a list of the small dinos and large insects that would be awesome to add into the game as well. My afore statements to the effect of how an aviary and aquatics could very well be added into JWE2. As well as how they could possibly function. Of course that might take a bit more forethought, but I believe it to be possible. I also believe the to make the events and moments of our animals, their interactions, their animations, personality, function and their care. Could be more to an epic cinematic like experience as I touched on before. Where it would be jaw dropping and a fan service. This would ensure the game would be entertaining, replayable, enjoyable and inviting.

Jesus, that is alot of animals!!! I don't think they can add all that at the sametime, but I still like the list though.

I think they could for the Aquatics and Pterosaurs. All of the dinos in JWE could be brought over into the new engine. Then add the new ones as DLC. I hope for more AI improvements. More decor and such as mentioned afore. :) I think it would be great :)

Frontier Developments are not associated with Ludia Inc., the ones who developed those games. The only way for anything that is their trademark properties to be in other company games is for both sides to have an agreement, if both are willing to decide.

The only reason why the Ankylodocus and Spinoraptor are a part of Jurassic World Evolution is because those two hybrids had further support by Universal Pictures to a greater extant before.

They don't have to be associated with Ludia Inc. I think it would be wise to take these hybrids as there own. I'm well aware that is up to Universal but it would be wise if they would allow it. I believe Frontier would have a good stance of a pitch if they agreed. It would be nice to have further hybrids in JWE2. If that isn't possible, that sucks but can always make due with the other animals. I'm surprised that Frontier didn't use the toy line of the hybrids that came out due to JW. I'm sure that can be a bit technical due to business practices. It is a list that I would hope would enter if possible. Just like most of my input. Trying to think of how JWE2 could be enriched if they are indeed coming out with it. :)
 
In addition, I would like to have specialized skins. Like Blue, Charlie, Delta and Echo for the raptors. That gives a huge rating increase. Rexy and all from all the JP/JW movies. Not to mention the Triceratops, Gil, Compy and so on. They should definitely look epic. :)
 
I really like JWE and most of its faults stem from the fact that it took them a year to put what should have been in at launch (minus dino packs and most content in the dlcs). As of now the biggest issues that I cant see the current game dealing with that a sequel could do better is mainly better terrain editing (like zoo world supposedly will have) and making gameplay that isnt centered on breakouts and disasters. Dino AI could be more interesting but that could be fixed in the current game as is.
 
Personally, after a lot of pondering, I abstained from purchasing JWE due to the reluctant opinions i've read in this forum.

The upcoming"Planet Zoo", however, seems realy promissing and combines "Planet Coaster"'s freedom of creativity with a theme (animals) that appeals to me more than an amusement park and its rides. I will probably get it. :)

Anyway, this thread's topic is JWE2. Wouldn't a jurassic park game combined with the "Planet XYZ" technology and freedom use the best of each worlds?
Or would the games be too similar ("Planet Zoo" and the hypothetical "Jurrasic Planet") to spark your imagination and hype?

I would recommend buying the game when is on discount, it is not a bad game but it certainly has many things to polish.

With the current state of the game and how slow the updates are, I prefer to wait and save my expectations to a new installment than to wait for them to fix the current game.
After 1 year of his release the game did not change anything. it is boring to try to be creative with the limitations that exist in the space of the islands and the tools of land, a few rocks and some trees do not give the immersion that could really offer, look what PK has achieved and it is a game that was developed with a much smaller budget than JWE.

Although I agree the current game is way unpolished I wouldnt hold my breath expecting a new installment to be any different. The way video game companies work today is that the release games when they are still in development to get money sooner and to make it appear that they are giving support with "big updates" to a game long after its release when really its still in development.

We are an entire year since launch and we just got SOME basic terrain tools and decor stuff we should have had from the beginning. I don't see how anyone could expect a different installment to be any different, you all assume they are just going to transfer all the assets from this game over and just add more. If this was a small indie developer or one guy making this then it would all make sense the development process has worked as such but Frontier is a big developer and knows exactly what they are doing.

For once, away from your suggestions of how new things with possible foreseen problems that can be solved, I agree with a lot here. This is how most of today's modern games since the early years of this decade are like now. Mainstream developer companies launch games in base forms with much of their content in a "complete" state, then, depending on the structure of their teams and other business related factors, add new content and/or update their content based on general feedback as time goes for however long they wish, like from a couple of months to several years. I know of plenty and own myself a few mainstream games from this decade that still do or have gone through that way of development and business.

Frontier Development's current active community games which are Elite: Dangerous (2014), Planet Coaster (2016), and Jurassic World Evolution (2018) are no exceptions to this rule. Even to this day, all three games are still being actively developed after their full releases, and there's no reason not to think that Planet Zoo (2019) will also be the same. Since Planet Zoo is another one of Frontier's games I am following, I to will also giving their game my suggestions and ideas after its full release if the same thing will happen as with the other three previous games, which I think would.

If there really is a sequel in the making, I very strongly doubt it's going to be what everyone (excluding a couple of exceptions) in the JWE community believes or assumes it's going to be like (same content from the previous game, but with much more content).

I agree with that. Most of the speculation of a JWE2 stems from a leak about another JW game being developed by Frontier. I cant remember if it ever said it was specifically JWE2 but I honestly do think they are working on a JW but it isnt a JWE sequel. If anything it would probably be something more akin to Trespasser which would be interesting. Im not against a sequel to JWE2 but I wouldn't put hope aside for the current game thinking that a sequel is going to be the answer to all of our problems.

The leaks did speak about a JWE2 because 'they can't fix the current one', which is funny and sounds so fan-speak and fake, that would be the part I believed the less. As well as hoping it to be false. I also thought that other JW ip might be something utterly different, although considering modern corporation practices I wouldn't completely discard the 'sequel'.

I wouldn't say the current game 'can't' be saved, though, and I'm almost sure devs would agree here, or at least they are addressing alleged impossibilities such as dino re-sizing or Nublar sand when there is demand for them. In their words, those were real coding feats (they must know, I suppose, because they alone know the code) however unimpressive for some of us the end result is.

The point is, almost everything can be recoded and even the core can be updated if there's enough involvement but I don't think this might happen either: on the one side, people are just too conformist with what they've been given and, on the other side, FD is doubly bound by both Universal and consoles which means more than double work. So, if a supposed 'sequel' eventually seems more profitable than keep trying to improve the original, that's what will happen.
