That's how I feel too.
DLC18 discussion and predictions
- Thread starter Leaf Productions
- Start date
Yeah I think a habitat bird dlc is likely, but I still feel like WTE birds could come (maybe, most likely not). No new system is required, and they are basically animated statues anyways. Or maybe they do the thing I thought of awhile ago:
“Flying birds” just use climbing features to perch and can “fly” (jump animation) to set distances. But a truly free flying and modulated aviary is definitely sequel material. Assuming we don’t get WTE “aviaries”.
Gotcha, phew you're scared me for a moment there lol
So there is a frontier workshop? Thats means in the future PZ2 will use this system and multiplattform
Yeah probably, pc users might get the chance to upload items on the frontier workshop to share with console users while the steam workshop still exists for mega builds and complex items that would set a ps5 on fire.
Haha i can understand that sentiment.
But answering my own question... Idk if i want a full birds pack even with a couple of flying birds in it. There are Mammals and reptiles that i really want still (coati, mara, howler, Palla's cat, Perentie, Nile croc) and while half my current wishlist is comprised of birds (rhea, crowned crane, roseatte spoonbill, pelican, ducks, secretary, pheasants, ibises) we still have so many important Mammals missing that i would really miss if they go for an all birds DLC.
20 animal pack, 4 wtes, 16 habitat, all from top 50s
Zoo keeper collection pack
Tree kangaroo in the front with howler monkeys and walrus in the background
Yes I know this pack is somewhat lack luster in birds, the

I don't know, for now PC2 doesn't seem as big if a bang than I thought it would feel. I mean, PC2 is worth it, because PC1 is old and outdated graphic wise .
But IF we would translate the current status of PC2 with PZ2: Would flying birds, improved pathing, 3 step scaling and a little better guest model and tiny building tweaks be a PZ2 that got me excited? No, guess not.
So for now I think sequel means "better graphic+a thing that could have been a bigger DLC+Tweaks for Updates."
I know the changes are more between PC and PC2. But for now PC2 is not the crystal ball look into the future of PZ2 that I thought it would feel like.

Imo, I am not going to buy the game for Planet Zoo 2, I may buy PC2. But I am fine with the current animals in PZ, just needs much more attention in birds and primates. Probably just going to buy PC2 because I didn't buy the prequel. I may get Planet Zoo 2 when its in like a massive sale but for now im pretty good.
Good luck with that.
Yeah I agree, I just hope pc2 is actually successful using the kind of model that jwe2 used to jump from the first game. An upgrade in graphics, like I'm seeing improved lighting at very most for pc2 (which I can achieve with Nvidia ansel anyway lol) and some major dlc like the water park features should be a nice jump from the first game since it doesn't actually promise too much. Promising too much by building entirely new systems for everything is not a good way for a sequel, the failed sequels of legacy games as I like to call them - cities skylines and kerbal space program, both promised far too much and ultimately failed as a respectable sequel. We would likely see the same thing with a possible pz2, either birds or aquariums as an major selling point and bringing the first game up to standard that pc2 is now at.
My unrealistic pipe dream: the final dlc is literally just made of birds and monkeys. I can handle missing out on everything else, though I would be upset about the loss of the coati, walrus, African crocodile, blackbuck, etc. I really do think just making the final dlc focus on that could work for me.
We still haven’t had the basics of monkeys or birds yet, and people ask for them so much might as well make the final dlc full of them. Yes we are missing out a lot of key animals, but these are the two groups people want the most. Might as well go out with a bang and do them.
Would PZ still need certain key animals? Yep. Would it alleviate the issue of bird representation and monkeys for awhile? More likely than what the current dlc would most likely be, which is a single monkey and a single bird species.

But I feel the standard is almost the same as PZ now, not much difference. I guess that's what confuses me. PC2 looks like it made a 4 years jump when it was supposed to make an 8 years jump.
Someone in Geekisms Duscord Server called it Planet Coaster 1.5 and that seems quite fitting.
with planet coaster 2, we already know we are not getting any birds with the the big selling point being birds in PZ2, just want keepers collection with 16 new animals 1/2 of it being birds and primates while the rest being Walrus, Coati and other mammals.
though i am not gonna buy planet zoo 2 right away and stick with the first game till instant can get some good discounts cause im fine with no flying birds

That's how I felt with jwe2, it's an decent upgrade but worth the price they are asking for? ... I have no shame for refunding it even buying at 75 percent off in a sale. The biggest issue with these kinds of games is how the dlc model is approached to existing players, if I need to pay £45 again for a new game, and other £150+ in dlc, the upgrade seems worthless in the short term.
Do we know how the DLC model will be handled?
Like are the dlcs from the first game, or atleast stuff similar to it already in the basegame?
Since most of the available info comes from the website and store pages so far, I can currently find that the including themes do include some new ones but don't sound like the dlc versions the original got "Along with the original Planet Coaster theme, discover four distinct new themes to give life to your park, whether it is the majestic Mythology Theme, the sunny Resort Theme, the vibrant Aquatic Theme or the rustic Viking Theme."
It doesn't really help pinpoint the dlc model yet and probably any content creators either don't know or are holding back the info until later on. All the pictures are focused on the water rides for obvious reasons but none of the cinematic, classic or other dlc themes can be found. I guess wait until the gameplay stream to hopefully spot any familiar themes.
