Map Size?!

Hey,
You had announced that the maps in the new game should be much bigger. That was a big point of criticism in JWE1. Now I'm in the 5th section of the campaign, but so far everything still looks very small. Why are there such large maps with wild areas that cannot be built on? Please give these areas completely free for sandbox, the areas are there. And please don't come with the fact that the PS5 can't do it like it did with Planet Coaster. That would be ridiculous...
The information with the bigger maps was now the reason to buy part 2 for me, so that I could finally build really great large parks with the new tools and scenery objects ...

I think the maps are bigger. They said they would be 30% bigger. They just aren't as big as we would have liked or expected them to be. They probably are 30% bigger or somewhere around there. Maybe some are less than 30%, possibly 15 or 20% bigger. They just aren't as big we would have liked. I think people heard 30% bigger and got all hyped up expecting huge maps. That's simply not the case.

I do agree though that the maps still aren't big enough. Especially the JP and JP3 Chaos Theory maps. Some of the campaign maps they put into the game are pretty big though. They have to be bigger than anything we got in the first game.

I would like to see a JWE and JWE2 map comparison. Frontier has the size data for the maps from both games I believe but I think it's secret.
 
I think the other issue with map size is that you have to make your enclosures bigger - especially for sauropods.

In the previous JWE, you could engineer your dinosaurs to be happy practically living in cages. This JWE2, not so much.

So while the maps may actually be bigger in JWE2, because of the increased requirements, they don't feel bigger.
