Planet Zoo: Arid Animal Pack Releasing 20 June 🐪

Not only that, but wildlife park series used to have domestic animals. Not big deal. And zt2 had stable with shetland pony lul.
But we never had a Comprehensive Game with all these categories combined. That's why I'm defining it as a Revolution if it happens.
 
Well done Frontier, the animals of this pack are super gorgeous and realistic.

At the beginning we used to ask you for renovating some base animals models, but now after this level of details, I think that its a must, at least for those 10:

  • Malayan Tapir
  • West African Lion (With adding more color morphs and variations)
  • Bornean Oranguatan (With adding the Brachiation animations)
  • Snow Leopard
  • Spotted Hyena
  • Bactrian Camel (With adding the winter coat variation)
  • Hippopotamus (With adding bathing animations and other animations in the water, plus reducing the insane space requirements for them)
  • Plains Zebra
  • Giant Panda (Its a funny and cool animal, so I think Frontier can add more animations for it and raise its appeal among the other animals)
  • Nile Monitor (Enhance the model to the level of the Asian Water Monitor and add the deep diving animations)
Im sorry to say this but I dont think they will ever remake any of the old animal models.
 
Our first look at the Somali Wild Ass!
May be an image of donkey, foal and text
😍 Finally. Wish we could also additionally get a domesticated Donkey for our Petting Zoos😊

I meant in the context about Zoo Simulators. I think at least a handful of Domestics along with Playgrounds should be included.
Absolutely agree. Not even Domesticated Goats yet in the Game😞
 
But we never had a Comprehensive Game with all these categories combined. That's why I'm defining it as a Revolution if it happens.
Wildlife park 2 had domestics with functional petting feature, semi-aquatics, fully aquatics, terrestials and even flying animals such as duck, macaw and vulture. (+ questionable prehistoric animals and dragons/unicorns)
Only revolutionary thing PZ did so far was adding exhibit system with animals no zoo game seen before: insects, arachnids and snail.

Edit: on the other hand PZ can be first zoo game to feature free flying, but it seems like frontier dont want to do so. Doubt PZ will feature something fresh for zoo genre at this point.
 
OK. So far, I've always said we don't need animal remasters (except the malayan tapir and increasing the size of the giant tortoises). But seeing the animals in this pack, I'm starting to change my mind for the first time.

But it's a very weird feeling because I still think all animals in the game look good. The old animals don't look bad to me. They are a little bit stylized but still accurate and realistic enough at the same time. I even think that style was a good compromise for a video game and maybe gave PZ its own identity?

The latest animals look like they were made with another stylistic choice in mind and I don't really know how to feel about it. They almost look photorealistic. In a way, I absolutely love it. You know, I'm never going to complain about more realism in the game. But I almost wonder if it was necessary to go as far as those vein details? Once again, I love it but at the same time, I still want to use all animals and now the difference between older and newer animals is starting to get too big?

I don't know if what I'm saying makes any sense... It's hard to explain how I feel. I absolutely love the ultra realistic look of the new animals but I also liked the unique PZ style of the old ones, you know what I mean?

Anyway, Frontier, don't take this comment as complaining or criticism. Thank you for the amazing new animals and your amazing work ❤️ I'm still so hyped for the new pack ! But for the first time, I'm starting to think you should maybe update the older animals with your new skills if possible. If not, that's fine too. I have absolutely no idea about how all of this works and how much work it would be to update older animals.

And maybe a question for computer experts. Are animals with this level of detail making the game harder to run for your PC or it doesn't have any impact?
 
I can't wait for another pic of what become my personality (In short, African Crested Porcupine 😂 ) The more pics I can get, the better.

also I have feeling frontier might gonna talk about the process of creating porcupine in the Dev Journal, which would be amazing. (I still can't process the fact that we getting my fav animal in the planet in planet zoo, Unreal).

Look at this, The comparison between the Wild ass and the prewalski's horse

The horse was one of the best models from last year but the ass is much better and more realistic 😮
the horse is still incredible to me, equine fans are eating so good right now. they really outdone themselves on the dlc equines.
very funny, poor zebra.. atleast theres a nice remaster of it somwhere
In the veins from the neck to the abdomen, its more detailed face and its legs
personally i think thats because the donkey has short fur wich would show that better and the horse is rather fluffy due the diffrent climate they are in.
personally both are equal to me but definetly my top 2 animals now.
