I agree with a lot of the points and thoughts already shared here and listening to BestInSlot's and Evo's videos: adjustable height and depth to aviaries and lagoons, expand the customization of the foliage brush and the buildings (I do miss the
Jurassic Park themed building from JWE1 but also make them customizable), an expanded terrain tools for different foliage types, deeper water, waterfalls, and cliffs; fixes to building and decoration hit-boxes, fixes in making pathing uniformed rather than have random gaps and spaces where the pathing did not connect, paleofauna interacting with guests aside from when they escape and kill guest (like when people are in the viewing platforms and tour guides), more variety in skin patterning and variants (I'm going to keep demanding they bring in the
Jurassic World Baryonyx that was on the website and not the Dino-croc version of
Baryonyx we have currently along with the variant of
Microceratus also from the website), and either completely removing some unpopular paleofauna or give them a complete overhaul. I also agree that all the hybrids (bleh) and
Huayangosaurus should be included in the base game instead of a "deluxe" package or as part of a DLC. All the dinosaurs from JWE2 roster HAS TO transfer over to the JWE3. The dinosaur compatibility needs a complete overhaul and revamp as well, as some of the compatibilities don't make sense to me.
Because this is a franchise, and while JWE as a whole has included NEARLY all the canon species from either the novel or the mainstream movies and spinoffs, JWE3 would be the perfect opportunity to complete the roster since a "Lost Dinosaurs of Jurassic Park" DLC pack wouldn't happen for JWE3. The missing genera from the novel, the Dinosaur Protection Group roster, and those killed on the islands during the events of
Fallen Kingdom that we currently don't have in the game are:
- Coelurus
- Hadrosaurus
- Lesothosaurus
- Ornitholestes
- Peloroplites
- Segisaurus (this genus had the tour voice-over in the JWE2's coding AND is the final genus missing that was listed on the Jurassic Park tour map)
- Teratophoneus
Some "uncertain" genera/paleofauna that should be brought into the game listed on the
Jurassic Wiki page (
https://jurassicpark.fandom.com/wiki/InGen's_List) should also include as a possible DLC animal:
- Deinosuchus
- Dilong (another genus that had the tour voice-over in the JWE2's coding)
- Elaphrosaurus
- Hoplitosaurus
- Nipponosaurus
- Pycnonemosaurus (a genus part of the Indominus rex creation)
- Quilmesaurus (a genus part of the Indominus rex creation)
- Rugops (a genus part of the Indominus rex creation)
- Viavenator (a genus part of the Indominus rex creation)
- Woolly mammoth
I don't agree that
Archaeornithomimus should be removed from the game since its name was dropped in
Jurassic World by Claire. I DO agree with complete remodels (like
Deinonychus and
Maisaura; seriously,
Deinonychus needs that the most because, in my opinion, its the most awkward and ugliest out of the dromaeosaurs) or given feathered variants (like for
Archaeornithomimus and
Struthiomimus) AND given another variant (I'm looking at
Therizinosaurus).
If Frontier decides on a Deluxe/Pre-Sale pack, I feel that a trio of
Lambeosaurus,
Pelecanimimus,
Plateosaurus,
Rhamphorhynchus, and
Temnodontosaurus would be much welcome additions in the game. Another dinosaur that isn't featured in mainstream media that would be a unique and welcoming addition to the game would be
Heterodontosaurus. For future DLCs, they need to go through all the major time periods, epochs, and stages, with Triassic and Jurassic being overlooked.
I would like to see the return of the "Five Deaths" island maps (I both missed and hated the Jurassic Mode challenge for Isla Peña) into the game along with more maps and biome options that @TheGoldbumLaugh and @JurassicTyrantKing already mentioned. I'm also down with having a Site B style play through where dinosaurs can roam freely without all but the absolute barest building requirements are allowed to keep producing dinosaurs.
That's my two cents on this topic.
