It seems like they've decided to alienate PC gamers to make the game better suited for console. Have they forgotten that PC is the primary audience of Sim/Builder games?
I skipped PlanCo and fell in love with the Planet games during PZ. Looking at all the videos pre-launch I was super excited for what all the improvements could mean for the eventual PZ2, and even looking forward to buying PlanCo2 and getting into it. Now, if the company survives long enough to release a PZ2 after this, I'm horrified of what it'll release like.
Based on this they'll give us flying birds and aquariums (at some point in a DLC at least) but it'll be such a visually downgraded and dumbed down version as to make a mockery of the first game.
And I've lost all interest I had in buying PlanCo2 unless they make a bunch of dramatic changes to fix it. I don't even know if they can, terrain textures, water, reflections, UI, etc. would all need a complete rework before I'd be interested. This can't be the same team that made the first game or PZ, can it? Glad I didn't preorder.
