Planet Zoo | Asia Animal Pack | Announcement

I was about to say the same. A bit of a bummer because otherwise all animals of this pack look absolutely incredible, in terms of quality it's one of the best that Frontier ever made, I think. The nilgai is outstanding in particular.

The scenery, however, is again nothing that excites me. It's like Zookeeper's 3.0. We could have gotten new plants or a new exhibit animal (cobra!) instead. A few pieces seem useful though for decoration but its just too many festive themed and niche pieces.
Still, I can't wait to get the pack myself!
absolutely, I made the comment before the reveal I'd gladly take 6+1 with a cobra exhibit , and maybe half the scenery if this is the type of scenery we're getting. Grantedc that's when it was thought to be India but it would work in an Asia pack too of course.
 
After watching all the content creators' videos, I first want to say that we finally got a deer that is exclusively Asian, and this is worth celebrating. The quality of the PD deer is also very good, thanks to frontier. But I have a small suggestion about the PD deer. I was a little disappointed when I saw that other ungulates have different fur colors, but the PD deer only has one. This is not a simple "summer or winter fur" issue, but they should have several different fur colors. The following is a reference, and I hope there will be improvements, which is not difficult.

I found the source of Nilgai's special fur color. I think since such a rare fur color is available to us in the game, it is unreasonable for PD deer to have only one fur color, and different fur colors are not rare.

WOW, I had no idea this deer had such variety irl, that's kind of awesome. If they had implemented some of these alternate fur colors, I would definitely appreciate its inclusion more...
 
I think, this is a great pack. The Blackbuck is a well-requested animal by me, so I very happy with this animal.

Also, the Honey badger (however, this is a bit strange pick, since this animal is rather African, but also found in Asia), Père David's deer, Bornean elephant and Lion-tailed macaque are welcomable additions for me.

The new animals are hyper-realistic! :love:

Yes, there is a lack of birds in this DLC, but not a terrible problem, since in this year we got the Americas animal pack with the Greater rhea and American flamingo. Two birds in one DLC is rare, but still I hope we will get another bird species in the future DLCs.

I hope, that the Asia animal pack is not the last DLC. Keep it up Frontier with DLC production!
 
I don't think it looks better in the sense that textures are better in the new elephant but the indian is still leagues more interesting with their color variations and model wise there isn't that much of an improvement either.
That and the furry babies make the Indian elephant my go to

Yeah, I still like the browns on the indian elephant, but I do feel the new elephant looks a bit better. Though I have only seen the new elephant in-game, so maybe I should compare the two, but I will always be annoyed we got the elephant instead of a new lion.
