JWE 2

We're just a week away and we're incredibly excited:

 
To all folks who are afraid of small maps dont be. Chaos theory does not represent sandbox. But even in theory mode you can expand the map with research. Double 93 nublar from jwe 1 roughly

I didn't want to talk about the leaks here on the forums. But I don't see how it would hurt anything now cause people from here obviously use the sub reddit as well. But I saw the JP chaos Theory scenario map. It looked rather small from what I saw. I actually hate the leaks cause no one gives any detail information which is what I would like to see. They just post a picture and usually the text is in French and I don't speak any French at all. All I can do is look at the pictures.

So you can expand the JP Chaos Theory map then? Is it as big as you said? Also some people were concerned about the JP3 Chaos Theory map. I wasn't cause you can see the expansion area's more clearly.

I won't go into detail about anything else. I have seen a lot of stuff. But I won't spoil the game or Frontiers surprise for anyone else.

But I am super hyped now. Also thanks for letting use know about the sizes. It's been a major concern on the sub reddit with a lot of people.
 

Gameplay JW ChaosTheory Dev Stream at minute 21 it starts. There you can see how big nublar is :) if you watch a while you see its insane . Dunno how last gen is able to handle it tbh. 🥲 They are wizards
 
Man the base consoles run like ass. 😂 get a series s at least for it, base xbox is 15-20 fps i bigg parks and quite ugly in comparison to series x which looks like pc version. I get it why they did it but damn it’s painful imo. Just cut the jaguar cpu games support already they cant run new games.

how you guys like the maps? I love em all and they are beautiful. The easter eggs you can build jp 3 scenes 🌝🥰. Different biomes alone are sooo much worth it. Fixed dinosaurs at least some of them, the resizes🥰. I dont like how the campaign cuts off obviously to not spoil the movie. ( its not their fault it got delayed) but sandbox will eat a lot of time damn these flat maps. There is s map for everyone. Not just flat and big and they are big! bigger in persona then in the videos. :) you see when you place something how big they really are. Germany and nublar 2015 is insane. Chaos theory mode these mode has lot of potential for future stuff but challenger mode too which is much better than in jwe much much better.

This game finally stomps Jpog left and right. ! I talk about jpog when edited in ini files , default was garbage with the limitations :) even on a pc.

@Jens why has Frontier suddenly decided to allow streamers and youtubers to upload the entire game's campaign 4 days before release date?
The amount of youtube channels I used to enjoy that I have had to hit "do not recommend channel" over this is disgusting. I'd block if I could just to avoid spoilers from autoplay (which I do because I lsiten to youtube while playing other games and only have one monitor.)

apparently Frontier doesn't give an S about narrative spoilers suddenly. way to go. I had hopes for you guys.

These YouTubers, who showcased early footage of the game before launch date, were those who signed up with Frontier's official Pioneer Program.
You may get a copy of the game once you sign in. This whole thing that's been going with these early gameplay videos is blessed by Frontier themselves as part of their business.
 
I know why they got it, and expected to see sandbox mode and pretty dinosaurs etc a few days before release from them all. My issue is up until today Frontier has had a very specific stance on narrative spoilers, and then I find a youtuber in their video titled Sandbox gameplay prattling on about the campaign story spoilers in detail.
So narrative being a surprise for players only mattered for frontier until today, all a bunch of misleading words for months now. so I have to walk on eggshells when it really shouldn't be necessary if they stuck to caring about that. Since I don't mind early vids of the mechanics, buildings, parks and dinosaurs, just about story. Impossible to avoid when youtubers don't need to watch their yapping about it so it leaks into every single video so now i have to avoid them entirely.

Yes it's a personal problem, I'll get over it but it really sours playing jwe2 when the company that developed it does a 180 on what they've told us prior.

I wouldn't get too worked up about it. From what I have seen, and I have been avoiding the campaign gameplay videos as well, the campaign is super short. It's about 2 hours long from what I have seen from The Gaming Beavers campaign video. I didn't watch it you can see the time in the thumbnail. Best In Slot said 4 hours, but I think he probably messes around a lot in his campaign and kind of wastes time doing other stuff. Beaver said it seems unfinished. Like they need to complete it later on with DLC.

The real lengthy gameplay will come in the Chaos Theory mode. I have heard the JP Chaos Theory scenario is about 5 hours long. So each scenario is about 5 hours long or so maybe an hour or so less. Also a few of the sand box maps need to be unlocked in challenge mode. BIS said it's easy to do, you only need like a few stars to get it done and you can play on any difficulty. That takes a few hours I imagine.

So the campaign is even shorter than I imagined. I figured 5 maybe 6 hours cause the JWE campaign was a little long. I don't want to say too long though. But for some it might have been too long.

It seems like they put a lot of effort into other parts of the game and are basically giving us stuff to go play around with in sand box. Some are saying we will probably get a Dominion DLC that adds more campaign gameplay. Hopefully that's the case. BIS said what's there is really fun. He said it's like the Claire's Sanctuary DLC but it's actually fun to play.
 
Lol, all this nonsence secret-holding of evertything, and those youtube millionaires spoil everything on their watch in one day.

Give some love to your real fans.

It's a good thing to let them test the game bevor launch.
It gives frontier the chance to fix the biggest bugs bevor we get our hands on it.
And lesser bugs are good for all of us

They can do that without letting them spoil all narrative and story in the game 3 days before release. Seriously. I have no problem with them getting it a week early, or being able to put some content up a couple of days early. I have a problem with the embargo full lift days before release including narrative parts/campaign after months of Frontier spokespeople saying "we want players to experience the story themselves on release day!!!"

Got your point.
I also got stomach pain when I see, that these people can play it and me not ;)

But after all it's your own choice to watch this videos. If you won't get spoiled just don't watch them.

I watched part of a "sandbox and dinosaurs" video, nowhere did the youtuber say they'd be talking about the campaign's story points in it but they did. so now I've done my best to remove any channels with jwe2 from popping up on my youtube. I did my part after my poor mistake. Doesn't change my point though.
Also wish i could just play it now since, well everyone can know everything that's in it completely with a little youtube search so why bother making us wait more days lol.
 
Bugs will only be found when hundred thousands of us play it not 20 youtuber.
They can’t just release it lol thats not how it works. I dont know why people blame other people when you simply stay off the inet if you dont want to get spoiled or whatever before release all games do this. Leak are clicks so any major site pick them up which is not even the case for park builder.

That's really such ***hole Behavior. Reminds me of those News Articles always popping up with The Walking Dead Spoilers directly in the Title 😡
Those YouTubers could at least put a Spoiler Warning at the Beginning of the Video
