A new Tycoon game would be cool!
First off I'd like to say I'm a huge fan of the original. I first found Zoo Tycoon as a demo. I loved it so much, I bought full game not too long after. The game was amazing and I remember playing it for hours. I didn't know about the 2013 version for Xbox One until very recently. I got pretty excited and picked myself up a copy. The game is BEAUTIFULLY designed and I really enjoyed playing it. It's a great game. I think the developers and designers did a pretty nice job with what they did. I loved it. However, the game isn't without some major flaws. The only reason I say major is because those flaws ruin the game. The game feels incomplete, or as if it's lacking something. I feel it's kind of sad because most of the game is really awesome. You can tell a lot of care went into creating the game. I'm sure those reading this, or who have read reviews, know the issues I'm talking about. The first issue as everybody knows is the Zoo Limit Cap. There just Isn't enough space for anything. I didn't know if this has to do with the game being on Xbox One, but the game loses something from it. There is also a HUGE HUGE lack of customization. The best you can do is place objects down, and paths are pretty much placed down for you. There isn't much of animal verity and you are also unable to design your animals enclosures, which was a huge part of the original game. There is no room for extreme creativity which is what a TYCOON series is all about. All this makes it easy for a child to jump in a play, but takes away from a lot of the adult fans who enjoy games of this genre. Once again I don't know if that was done by design choice or if it's because of the XBOX Ones handling ability. The good points of the Xbox version is being able to feed and play around with the animals. If another game is ever developed I'd like to see more of that, maybe include a vet feature too for walking into enclosures to treat and handle animals with different issues (broken bones, injures, and illnesses). This could be a skill thing that you can build and earn throughout the game. It would be something to add to the game play. Anyway these are just my thoughts.
