Changes made to the design of Jurassic Park style buildings

[Voxis42]

Having completed Jurassic Park Chaos Theory, and I saw several small things about some of the Jurassic Park style buildings :

To start I noticed that the terrace behind the visitor's center what is supposed to be the buffet has disappeared ...
Small detail but it's a shame in my opinion...

For the bunker, I think the model is much nicer in the first opus (on the right); I mean, "more Jurassic Park",
The current one looks like an unfinished heap of soil...

The door :
I'm sorry but for me the JWE "1" version (on th right) remains much nicer visually ... I mean we can't miss the details, on the current door we don't see the kinds of cracks on the columns, the aspect of the stone. Currently it looks like something made of concrete, very smooth, almost too "new"

The toilets also which for me were better in the first version (on the right)... They harmonized better in the jungle than the current ones which are surrounded by a concrete platform, without forgetting the small pencart in the shape of Isla Nublar on the door, which also makes a very nice little detail....

I also regret the removal of the two small shops (Jurassic Cafe and Jurassic Gifts) which also harmonized well in the jungle. Even if I understand the idea since now we have personalized shops. But I still think their design is really nice.
(Sorry I can't post pictures)

Aside from that and to end on a positive note, ALL THE OTHER BUILDINGS ARE GORGEOUS !!

I know that these are only details, but I find it so frustrating to start from acquired things and no longer have them for a version 2.0 which wants to be superior...
I can't wait to hear your opinions about this...

Yeah, the loss of these original buildings is senseless. As well as the modification of the helipad. Why did they make the door off center!? It ruins the symmetry of the building. I also hate the blinds in the windows of the new Visitor Center, those were not in the movie, and ruin it's appearance at night.

All of the buildings have this ugly cement foundation. It's really hard to make it look good at all. It's all very clean and misses a little of the ruggedness that you would expect from buildings that are subject to tropical weather.

Indeed. The Jurassic Cafe and Jurassic Gifts buildings should just return as decorations, like the JP toilet. Plus it would be really nice if we could maybe decide if we want the concrete around the buildings or not, with a toggle maybe? Could be a new tab that has this option

They even remodeled the decorative toilet. It's no longer screen accurate as well. I don't know why they threw perfectly accurate models in the bin, only to remodel new ones from scratch. But I don't think it was worth it.

As someone who plays in the Jurassic Park Era at least 85% of the time at the minimum, all of this is what I'm wanting back. The Jurassic Park theme in Evolution 2 is abysmal compared to the Return to Jurassic Park DLC (Yes, FROM A DLC) in the first game.

Jurassic Park is nothing but a quick reskin of Jurassic World and it's a shame that we got a copy and pasted half job for the building designs. The Visitor's Centre for example, the Tree is gone, the helipad is gone, the restaurant is gone... Why? It looked amazing before so why alter it at all...?

The concrete floor for the amenities and bathroom buildings look cheap and unappealing compared to the rugged plant filled design we had before. The emergency shelter is missing foliage on the parts which just shows barren dirt which is just ugly and boring, they are also WAY too big, they could at least allow us to have "Small and Large" variants of each building mentioned but with a smaller affecting radius.

I also don't like how the JP Electrified fencing don't have the famous "10,000 volt" signs, nor do they have the blue and amber lights above them.

The Aviaries just don't have the same aesthetic as the original did, it looked very exclusive to JPIII's design which I very much loved and prefer to what we have now.

We don't have the official licensed Jeeps.
And lastly, the electrical grid pylons are just the same as Jurassic World which in my opinion was a very lazy choice on frontiers end.

I know I sound ungrateful about this, but for frontier to advertise this game before release as: "the most authentic Jurassic experience yet", I feel very cheated about what they've done to the Jurassic Park era, especially when they got it SOOOO right in the first game...
