This may not be a popular idea, especially being that JWE and JWE2 were offered on as many platforms as possible at the time. But, what if the only way that JWE3 could reach its full potential would be to be an exclusive PC game. I have always played the game on console. But, I think if the game could go to the next level, equal to the Planet games, it should be a PC game.
I considered the implications of this. Short term, it would at first only be available to a limited audience/market. Long term it would be a fresh new experience, with more creative possibilities.
What the game needs, if it has a final game, is a chance to be the game it has the potential to be. I'm not the type of player who is into gameplay and challenges, things of that nature. I'm a sandbox player. So my opinions are limited to the wants of a sandbox player. I'm sure the community has many ideas for a better game experience, so please share them. As for my opinion, I think an overhaul of the game is needed to justify a sequel. If only the aesthetics are changed, it will be essentially the same game. What we need is greater creative freedom with terrain. Being able to improve upon things like the lagoons. Taking into consideration the things the community always asks for, like elevated paths, bridges, waterfalls, ect. Dinosaurs being able to interact more with different environments, for example being able to swim. Having juvenile models of dinosaurs introduced and maybe introduce gameplay mechanics to go with the introduction of such models.
It would also give a chance for the devs to go back into the list of species and redesigning some of the models; namely species like Deinonychus and Liopleurodon.
The game should still be JWE but with the capabilities of the Frontier Planet games.
I think current models in the game could be updated. I also think they could introduce more prehistoric animals, from both prior to the dinosaurs and after the dinosaurs. JWE3 could introduce Smilodon and prehistoric mammals.
Buildings could be modular. There could be a greater emphasis on park management. And with greater terrain manipulation, water depth and things of that nature; JWE3 would be notches above the prior games of the JWE series.
As a console player, I would wait for a console version. The point is, is to make the greatest JWE game possible. And I think the only way to do that would be at first to make it a PC exclusive game. Just my thoughts.
