At that point if we are waiting that long it better actually be a bigger dlc.
DLC18 discussion and predictions
- Thread starter Leaf Productions
- Start date
I bet they will reveal a hyrax for the game, if they don't then I will actually drink water.
Well, I hope you all have a good week see you next time.
Yeah if we’re waiting flipping 8 months for the next pack it better have more than 8 animals or have good update features.
Watching the PC2 stream, Planet Aquarium/PZ2 with aquatics is so 100% happening lol
It’s an actual flying system but it still only 8 birds lol
I must say that the new pathing, scaling, and mirrowing tools in PC2 are all incredible! I wish I could have all of them in PZ right now
Agree 100 %
Same thoughts here
It is kinda sad how little respect PZ gets anymore. Elite Dangerous and the host is extremely hyped to talk about some balance updates. Guest comes on to discuss and they have tables of stats.
Planet Zoo Console new DLC. Firstly they state ‘was announced yesterday, oh wait no sorry it was released actually’. Followed by: ‘I think we have a trailer, apparently’. plays trailer, ‘right we have our guest for Elite Dangerous!’.
I miss the old streams/would just like them to pretend they cared about anything beyond ED. I don’t think that is too much to wish for?

I’ll get PC2 for sure as it really looks promising. I have and enjoy the first game but imo and it’s only my personal opinion it doesn’t generate the excitement of a zoo franchise. I admit to being somewhat bias though. I am starting to see an unsettling trend with frontiers games though. Whether done purposely or due to engine limitations it seems sequels always have what was generally requested in the first place. I have no doubt that PZ could’ve made birds and a manatee work to a certain degree. Definitely not as polished as an updated sequel obviously but still! Now from a business perspective it’s great the consumer on the other hand not so much. Don’t get me wrong frontier does great work and I’ll definitely buy a sequel as I really enjoy the first implementation but now we’re talking 6-8 years to get what we generally asked for in the first place.
I agree and this is why I don’t care for the Unlocked streams. But I think we need to take some things consideration:
- Planet Zoo is 5 years old, and has possibly gone on longer than most people planned for. Part of me is wondering if PZ being a consistent money maker is what kept the company going through the rough patch.
- Elite dangerous is a passion project for Frontier, with a very dedicated fan base. It is also not part of a series and is probably easier to update than an intense building game like PZ. I wouldn’t know though, I have no interest in it.
- A new member of the “Planet” series is coming, and Planet Zoo is old news.
- The current face of Unlocked probably doesn’t care about PZ too much. May not reflect the company. Or it may, and everyone is sick of this game. I don’t know.
So was I any close to my prediction?
I do agree on some points but:
A) Elite Dangerous is Considerably Older than Planet Zoo.
B) This seems to be pretty much every stream. We’ve had 1/7? Streams this year with more than a few sentences to discuss PZ PC.
C) Planet Zoo has a considerably larger player base than ED. In the last 7 days average no of PZ players have been triple that of ED…
I do agree the host clearly has an interest for ED whereas he doesn’t for other Frontier games. But there’s solutions to that. Either get a new host, or have other hosts for sections of games the host isn’t interested it to generate so enthusiasm. PZ definitely isn’t the only victim here.
And I think that is where these streams fail. Players of each game tend to be so far apart they do not care about the other games, even the host…
Like now compared to my old comment and they’re still talking about Elite Dangerous (and it’s not big stuff just some details on a single space ship lol - this may have been longer than the PC2 part…)
1-3 spot on so far
1-4 actually, forgot the F1 segment lol1-3 spot on so far
Man I hate when I am right1-3 spot on so far
Yeah I agree overall, you would think they could have some of the team show up to talk about the animals. Or even a “the fennec fox is so cute. I love the penguin”
