I agree but i would say that with Aquatics and aviaries on the table for possible sequel DLCs things like the wolverine and ibex won't be as Big as a drive as they were in PZ 1. Plus you are only leaving out those two and the swan. I think all European animals should be in base game and then we could get some more interesting ones like the cappercaillie, Chamois, Alpine marmot, walrus, puffin, musk ox and things like birds and small mammals if the sequel improves on that.
Not sure - cause of PZ1, that’s sorts the way they sorted things out. We had Grizzly and Himalayan Brown Bear, but the general Wild Boar.
I don't know why it's so hard for people to accept that different people have different interests regarding species in subspecies? I mean, especially recently has that topic been brought up again and again.
i need dhole and pronghorn
Because people are biased towards carnivorans, that’s the unwritten rule of zoo game roster theorycrafting
Honest Question
Second option. I don't think the lifespan of the sequel could be predicted because we don't know if it is going to be as succesful as this one or in what situation the company will be by them so i rather get all new species and just a couple Old ones with new improved versions in DLCs than a Game lasting 8 years trying to complete the previous version's roster while at the same time adding new stuff. There just isn't time and space for both.
Longer, i fully expect that some previous animals show up in DLCs again, the orang utan strikes me as one of those. Keep it out from the basegame, let it headline a rainforest dlc or whatever and since the devs dont have to work on another hundred animals at the same time they can go bananas on the model and animations.
I don't really care about the length of official support as as the fundamental core gameplay is fun. If we're short on animals because of the compromised support period, the modding scene as act as a crutch. But modding scenes for games that aren't fun to play tend to not be very big
I mean this that Doran says is so true, there are a lot of animals in the world and so ubique between each other that would bring a lot of content for at least another 4 years ( birds and aquatics incluedes )
It depends on what's missing from the base game. For example, is it really worth getting a walrus if we never get a gibbon back? I say no. A roster that's too different for the sake of it will end up unprioritized, with arguably bigger holes in it than PZ1's.
Longer by a long shot. For me it's not even a question I have to think about. I'd rather have long support and the ability to improve the core mechanics of the game than to just have 2 years where we can barely provide any feedback but have all the species we had this time around from the start.
There's a lot of animals in the world and the vast majority of those people don't care about. That's the reality of the situation, both for real life zoos and zoo games.
