My Idea For JWE 2

Whoa. What an expensive tech demo it was, then...
Well I have 400 hours into it so it wasn't that expensive. It was cheaper than a regular AAA game. I got more than enough entertainment out of it to justify the price and money spent.
Well the next game is going to have to consist of 50 species just like Planet zoo but also have bigger and better maps and a lot of memory then its predecessor, to be honest I can wait five years for Jurassic world Evolution2 to be complete before the release of the game.

Really...
First, how do you know they 'can't' change the game's core? Do you work at FD? No. Many companies do change their game's core to make expansions, and that's what I was talking to. Not a totally new game. And improved, new version.
Second, if you stopped to think about it, you'd come to the conclusion that the most expensive option is to start from scratch and make a completely new game. I would be really, really suprised if nothing from JWE made it's way into JWE2. That's what it's not happening.
Third, I'm not telling devs what to do, so please do not place words into my speech I didn't say. I was just stating my opinion and wish, as everyone else.
So, considering that making use of already implemented bits of code would be the cheaper way, how is an expansion that reworks some code impossible? Yeah, they've stated they wouldn't like to mess with people's savegames, and yeah, this supposed expansion certainly would cost as much as another 'new' game as it wouldn't be any regular DLC, but people could still choose which to play and both could be supported being based on the same foundations even if the base JWE stops getting more updates/DLC (outside bugfixing). That was my point.
Anyway, people (myself included) were prone to say 'FD can't do that because a) it's impossible or b) they've said it's impossible'. And, yet, they did change dinosaur sizes and implemented sand on Nublar.
I have 200h but wouldn't consider it worth the money because more than half of them were spent waiting for bars to fill, money to rise in order to continue advancing or just letting the critters roam around while watching TV or reading a book, not to mention frustrating on terrain constraints and available space during regular 'play'. So this is no AAA game to me, despite the HQ graphics. It's just a nice screensaver.
Also, I have to mention that last update did went in the right direction but I had hardly 24h spent on the new version because there is still basically one map and half a dozen options. Adding DLCs that really implement nothing I consider worthy only makes it all more expensive so... we agree to disagree, I suppose.
Edit: Forgot to mention 'crying in rage at the sight of the lifeless clipping good-looking dinosaurs' lol. Jokes aside, I use to keep the games open while I do some other things but I still had plenty more hours of fun out of other titles than JWE. And I go back to them far more often. So, my point is, the 'time-played' Steam or other systems record is not a good indicator of the worth of the game, at all.

Ok. Not too harsh on the 12 year old pls. But, yeah, I get your point.
Ok, so I really like your point. They should just expand the Current game. (Just like what you say in every JWE 2 thread)
The same game fundamentally as jwe... But destroyable vehicles and choppers, on foot killable employees, the ability to play in 1st and 3rd person as employees and walk around the park doing tasks as well as entering vehicles and buildings, fully fleshed out buildings u can explore as a guest, buildings small carnivores can enter to attack guests, large dinos able to damage large buildings, aquatic and aerial reptiles, raptors climbing out of fences, male dinos with size differences between sexes, breeding, juvenile dinos that grow into adults, petting zoo areas, guest facilities like bathrooms, parks, small food stands, more rides like canoes and coasters, lethal weapons, more blood, different building designs, JP content, film paddock desings like JP raptor pen, jw raptor pen, indominus paddocks, rex kingdom paddock, tour paths able to cross guest paths, other tour paths and water, gates placeable over paths, better looking fence breaking animations, more weather hazards like heatwaves, domestication gene that allows compys and herbivores to roam parks free of fences to the joy of guests not their horror, larger maps, more terrain and decoration tools, trainable raptor packs then can take down other dinos that escape. That's a sequel.
No I don't work at Frontier and I am not a developer and I am not an expert on game development. But I do know a few things about it. I know making changes to a game isn't simple, it's even harder when you want to make changes to the games engine. By core I think you mean engine? You act like what you are asking for is simple. It is not in the least bit simple. They can't change the games engine. Changing one thing in the game leads to other issues. It often causes other issues to pop up. If they are going to make changes to the engine they might as well just make a new game. It would basically be rewriting the engine.
Yes making a new game would be expensive but so would the making "changes" and "improvements" to the engine. It's much simpler just to make a new game and get it over with.
So basically you don't want a sequel but you want a $50-$60 expansion? That makes no sense. Cause that's what making changes to the engine would be, making a whole new game.
Yes you will get a new and improved version. It's called a sequel. Hopefully JWE 2 will be released in 2021.
You are telling the devs what to do. You are asking that they make changes to the games engine. You are also acting like it's this simple thing to do. While I might not work for Frontier or know all that much about game development. You also don't see me telling the devs to make changes to the games engine, which is basically like creating a whole new game, just so I don't have to buy a sequel.
I enjoyed my 400 hours with the game and I still play it. Maybe if you dislike the game so much you should go play another game. Find something you do like.
Cool. Not the Coasters though, because there aren't any coasters in the franchise.
For me, (The 12 year old) the only reason i don't want a sequel is because my parents might not want me to buy it, because its a sequel. But when I found out that its going to most likely be released in 2021, I'm now excited!
Bid for coasters...
1. It's what frontier does
2. Hammond spoke of rides in the film to come
3. Jurassic Park the game had an unfinished coaster
4. Any major resort park that had hotels and expected guests to stay for several days would need rides: coasters, ferris wheels, a pterasaur (dumbo) ride for kids, the "park" i would imagine would close most areas at night... You have to give the guests more to do then eat and drink. And if we get the chance to experience the park as guest who wouldnt want to have some thrills. Even if they add the canoes, everything moves at a crawl speed with the gyrospheres and tour vehicles. We need speed! Face flattening speed. : )

But of course, nobody really knows for sure if it will be a thing, just rumors and speculation. Nobody even knows who the 4Chan leaker who claims a sequel will be a thing may even be. They could be an internet post trickster using valid leaked information for validity to deceive you for whatever gain, or they could actually be sharing the truth. The only way to find out is to wait and see in due time.
I believe Frontier Developments might hint their next major global IP game much later this year, or perhaps sometime early next year as they did for this game (saying they were developing a Hollywood IP based game) on February of 2017 before fully revealing it to be Jurassic World Evolution that August.

JWE2 has been rumored to be released around the third JW movie installment in 2021. The current game isn't able to advance that much more than what has already been done. The possible 1993 JP DLC has been rumored but other than that. There is nothing more than speculation and hopes for the potential of the future of this series. They would have to build everything upon a new foundation in order to expand and move further than what is present. Unless they want to add more animations to the present animals which I believe they would withhold for the sequel. I doubt there is much more that they are willing to add to JWE. Also for the fact that new hardware is coming out and that Frontier would want to be present on it. Means they would want to advance the engine and game for it to be worthy of what the next gen is capable of doing. Not only that but to add a lot that they previously weren't able to in JWE. JWE gives a foundation on which they were able to learn and progress from. Sequel would hopefully be of a greater progression of the potential this series could then become.
Agreed
A sequel would make sense given that next gen hardware will be releasing in the next two years. Not only that but to further the series instead of keeping it stalled within the confines of JWE.
I am 34 years old so $60 isn't a major issue. If there is a sequel it will probably be released whenever the third JW movie is released. So you can start saving up money in 2020.
