Aquatic animals-what would you like to see in such a DLC?

Hello everyone.

I just played the new mobile game of JW and unlocked the sacrosuchus in game. I really do love crocodiles so it´s made me thinking about JWE again. If there´s an aquatic-DLC in a far far away future ... which animals and features would you people like to have in your Game???

I would love to have at least 1 crocodile! and about 10-15 new animals for my park. My List would be:

Mosasaurus
Tylosaurus
Basilosaurus
Plesiosaurus
Ichthyosaurus
Liopleurodon
Megalodon
Deinosuchus
Sacrosuchus
Prestosuchus
Labyrinthodontia
Dakosaurus
Dunkleosteus
Enchodus
Protostega


About new features ... I would love to get 3 features, which are important to me:

1. create a pool like in ZT2 with controll of the Heights and some waterplants
2. create a show like the Mosasaurus feedingshow in the movie
3. create Indoor Buildings. I really would enjoy to build my own aquarium.



What´s on your List? :)

I'm not too picky, but Mosasaurus (since it's in the films) and Tylosaurus (since it was apparently in Jurassic Park The Game) would both be fine choices.
 
Mosasaurus, Ichthyosaurus, Liopleurodon, Plesiosaurus and Sacrosuchus.

Edit: deleted Megalodon because it isn't a species from the Mesozoic era.

I actually didn't think of Megalodon yet. So you're telling me we should have a giant, whale sized shark in our park?

Where do I sign?
 
I don't really see why ppl want flying / swimming creatures - other than the ooh factor:

1. They weren't dinosaurs were they? Thought they were reptiles, though obviously nowadays we have flying dinosaurs :)
2. Swimming creatures are mainly underwater, so what would we do with them (as part of a management game)? Even in the movies they only make fleeting appearances.
3. Flying creatures are mainly kept in a dome in the movies - only interest would be if they escape, unless you can zoom into the building - but we know you cannot go into buildings. And escaped they could ... what? Attack the invincible 'copters?

Not completely against it, just wondering what people would want them to do, as they keep coming up :)

1. They weren't dinosaurs were they? Thought they were reptiles, though obviously nowadays we have flying dinosaurs :) So? Techmically speaking, nowhere in its name does JP/JW say that its only dinosaurs. In fact the name "Jurassic" is misleading anyways, as there are dinosaurs from other time periods in there. Heck they could have cambrian critters in there, by that logic. and maybe they should, that could be fun.
2. Swimming creatures are mainly underwater, so what would we do with them (as part of a management game)? Even in the movies they only make fleeting appearances. Insofar as management, I imagine it'd be about the same as your land critters; hatch them, feed them, give them enough plant life, keep them healthy... I imagine in the aspect of danger, you'd have a mechanic where they break through a viewing attraction and eat some of the guests inside- maybe if the enclosure walls get damaged the critters could jump out and nail unsuspecting guests on the paths outside. It could be great fun.
3. Flying creatures are mainly kept in a dome in the movies - only interest would be if they escape, unless you can zoom into the building - but we know you cannot go into buildings. And escaped they could ... what? Attack the invincible 'copters?Aviary exhibits would definitely not be a building, although I'd love to see a small aviary building for critters that aren't big enough for a full exhibit. The best way to do one of those would be placing a circular fence of player-determined diameter with a glass dome on top of it. Gameplay would probably be the same, generally speaking, as the other critters, escapes included.

My responses.
 
I don't think we should expect any aquatic animals from outside of the Mesozoic era. Additionally I wouldn't think any fish would be included either as the idea is that the DNA is collected from the amber (although JWE does seem to collect them from bones too). It would be nice to have a Megalodon or Basilosaurus but I don't see them being included due to aforementioned reasons. I could definitely see Mosasaurus, Tylosaurus, Plesiosaurus, Ichthyosaurus, Liopleurodon, Deinosuchus and Sarcosuchus making an appearance though.

As for Pterasaurs there's plenty to choose from, but just as we probably won't see anything smaller then Dilophosaurus/Velociraptor in the game I doubt we'll have anything smaller than Dimorphodon. However I would love to see what Frontier would do with the aquatic and flying species!
 
Yeah, I seriously doubt the'll add like Megalodon or Basilosaurus considering they never lived alongside any dinosaurs and there hasn't been any indication we'll get anything outside of the Mesozoic.
 
Mosasaurus
Tylosaurus
Basilosaurus
Plesiosaurus
Ichthyosaurus
Liopleurodon
Megalodon
Deinosuchus
Sacrosuchus
Prestosuchus
Labyrinthodontia
Dakosaurus
Dunkleosteus
Enchodus
Protostega
I'm with everyone else about the Protostega, Dunkleosteus, Megalodon and Basilosaurus; not from the Mesozoic, so unlikely, unless they start adding non-Mesozoic animals (and if they did do that, I personally only expect something obvious, like Dimetrodon).

Others like Deinosuchus and Sarcosuchus (the latter which you misspelled) don't need to be part of an aquatic expansion; they're amphibious and should work just fine in a regular lake habitat without a specialized tank, as would any animal under Labyrinthodontia--which FYI there's no such thing as, it's an informal term used to describe a group of amphibians, not a specific animal.

Prestosuchus is a strictly terrestrial rauisuchian, similar to Saurosuchus or Postosuchus... it likely only ventured near water to drink... just a hunch, but do you play the Jurassic World phone game?

Now... with all that out of the way, the rest of your list is fairly solid for an aquatic pack, although I'd personally go with something more like this:

Mosasaurus; biggest mosasaur, Jurassic World animal.
Plesiosaurus; basic plesiosaur.
Ichthyosaurus; basic ichthyosaur
Pliosaurus; basic pliosaur, also the biggest
Cretoxyrhina; biggest Cretaceous shark (bigger than a great white)
Xiphactinus; big, ugly Cretaceous fish
Parapuzosia; massive Cretaceous ammonite
Shonisaurus; giant Triassic ichthyosaur
Metriorhynchus; streamlined, fully-aquatic crocodile
Kronosaurus; big, Cretaceous pliosaur
Hybodus; common Mesozoic shark
Leedsichthys; whale-sized Jurassic fish
Archelon; biggest Cretaceous sea turtle
Dakosaurus; big fully-aquatic crocodile
Elasmosaurus; large plesiosaur
Prognathodon; large, shellfish eating mosasaur
Rhomaleosaurus; long-necked pliosaur

There are likely a few others I'd put on this list, but I worry I put a few too many down already.

I scrapped Liopleurodon mostly because I think people only want it because the Walking with Dinosaurs implied it was a 25 meter behemoth, when actual fossils suggest 7 meters was about as big as it got. I skipped Protostega too, because while it is a nice critter, it's basically a smaller Archelon.
 
In the Books it was a dual dna gathering. Hammond bought not only ambers but bones too. The bones were all from northern digsites and get crushed to extract traces of dna.
 
I honestly am the only person in the world that doesn't want Aquatic or Flying reptiles In the game.

How come? I wouldn’t particularly bothered if they weren’t in the game as I imagine it would be difficult to get them to look good in the current engine the game works with unless they do it the same way Zoo Tycoon 2 did. However it would be a nice addition to say the least imo.
 
Acuatic reptiles:
- Mosasaurus (obviously)
- Megalodon
- Plesiosaurus

Land reptiles:
- Sarcosuchus (or deynosuchus, i count crocodiles like land reptiles)
- Titanoboa
- Dimetrodon

Flying reptiles:
- Pteranodon
- Quetzalcoatlus
- Dimorphodon
 
  1. Elasmosaurus (appeared Jurassic Park: Builder, Jurassic Park III: Park Builder and Jurassic World: The Game)

To me I would rather see different dinosaurs. There are 1000s of known dmsorcies. Some of them are extremely interesting and different.
 
Mosasaurus. I honestly have no knowledge of aquatic dinosaurs. Although I would welcome any additions.
 
It would be interesting to see how the developers would handle this. I can see them doing an underground area where guests can view the dinos in their “tanks”. It would have to be like a pool on top and a viewing area below ground. Something that looks more natural. I don’t see a glass tank just sitting above ground like in the zoo tycoon games. Maybe you could merge dinos and marine reptiles in the same exhibit. Would be cool to see a dino taking a drink and having a Mosasaur grab them. May not be profitable for the park since everything is getting eaten but could give it a wow factor.
