That's right, the amount of animals will be different between the game demo at Gamescom 2019 and the Beta which will be later this year.
Planet Zoo - Beta Dates Announcement 🐯
- Thread starter Bo Marit
- Start date
Didn’t see one in James’s stream.
Animals I remember were:
Wolves
Elephants
Lions
Turtoises
Lemurs
Bears
Zebra
Snow leopard
Hippos (r.i.p.)
And a bunch of animals that we saw in he exchange center or in one of the menu’s but I don’t remember all of them (especially the reptiles).
the stream he did shows off the zoo that was made for the first few gameplay screenshots.
The streamers are playing a special version of the Gamescom build (no timer, unlimited funds). The Bengal Tigers will be in the Beta build in September.
If you haven't had a chance to watch some of the streams yet, we have Snow Leopard, Lehman's Poison Frog, Yellow Anaconda and Goliath Bird Eating Tarantula in the streams, with Warthogs, Ostriches, Alddabra Tortoises in the trailer.
Just saw the snow leopard. It looks amazing <3
The Bengal Tigers are part of the Alpha game demo which can be played at the Planet Zoo booth at Gamescom 2019.
That's awesome news. Thanks!
Sorry, missed this initially! Of course there will be a female Orangutan - all animals have male, female, and juvenile models, so you can have the whole family in November.
After watching the youtubers streams I find very annoying the mechanism in when you select an animal it turns blue. The whole game is so beautiful, impressive details, yet you always have this kind of blue monster thing somewhere, it is really disruptive. Will there be an option to turn this off?
Hopefully, but I don't find it a major issue, as your meant to press the camera button on the animal panel to get a better look.
Can't wait to see this. There were so many things I wanted to see during the stream I watched, that James Turner didn't really focus on.
Yes, the truth is that for me, this official Planet Zoo video is the most important, because it will show new ideas. The players that have appeared so far are knowing the patterns for the first time, it's all harder for them. But let's think the best is coming now.
Aww man, the exact thing I was afraid of happened: the beta is exactly when I'm gone on my holidays so I won't be able to play it at all Gonna have to cancel that deluxe edition pre-order, probably for the better anyway, should first find out the actual specs before buying it, hadn't considered before that my PC might not be able to run it. Have to say I'm with the disappointed people that the beta is this late and only two weeks too, even if I wasn't on holiday I would've only been able to play on the weekends and tbh that isn't worth 1/5th of the price extra for me. I can live without the three extra animals so will just buy the regular edition when confirmed my PC can handle it.
Game still looks great though, still excited to play it and hope I'll be able to!

I was kind of underwhelmed from that stream I was watching. I like the game, its just that I feel like the game is one I have to play for myself to actually enjoy more of. I guess I just didn't really like how the path system is harder to work with, or how the fence system is sort of similar to the path system.
Sorry, but I feel a bit misled, I shelled out the money expecting to be able to play in advance in summer. My Autumn plans mean that I will not be able to participate in the Beta at all. I understand that timescales change, and I assume even if I don’t play the beta I will still get the extra animals that I paid for, but not entirely what I signed up for.
I should say it all looks great. I was a bit motivated to buy simply to support Frontier so I guess I won’t ask for a refund.

I don't get all the upset over the time period of the beta....
First, they don't even have to have a beta, yet they are.
Second, they give you two weeks to play... Some developers have a beta for just a weekend.... yet most everyone here is acting like 2 weeks isn't long enough.... You would be no better off if there was NO beta and had to wait till Nov 5th release. This way you get to play early, and for two weeks.
Third, this is my opinion, but I preordered for the extra animals, the fact that I get to play a beta for however long is just extra.... Because come Nov 5th, no one is going to care or remember the beta or even be talking about it....
Thank you Planet Zoo for the game, your hard work, the beta for two weeks, and I cant wait to play.... keep up the good work... everything looks great so far....

All cats. I guess I'm building a cat only zoo
I just don't get where the summer beta thing came from. Frontier didn't even confirm the beta release until today, and I believe that never once did they say anything about a summer beta, only that there was a beta. Although, I do remember one news website stating that the beta was in the summer, but it wasn't frontier themselves saying that. Not to mention, it isn't that bad having to wait a month for the beta, as that's not that long of a wait.
