  • A retrospective review of the Jurassic World: Evolution game after more than a year since its release. Updates, patches, DLC and free-LC additions have changed the game, though has this been an improvement overall? We look back on how the game is today, and whether it is worth the price and the hours of the dinosaur-loving fanbase.

    One thing I think all theme park building games should have is the ability to play as your avatar. Like in planet coaster you actually make an avatar but it’s only for the menu screen. Instead of just being a god-like floating camera, it’s be nice to walk around your creations like a visitor and experience it from their point of view. Some games have done this to some degree but I think the most recent and best games haven’t.

    Well Frontier did say the dinosaurs were the stars but it seems that the mechanics for the dinosaurs are all the same however I wish that the Pachycephalosaurus Stigimoloch Dracorex wood play fight instead of fight to the death all the time whenever overpopulation happens. And also I wish interspecies herding, and Pack Hunting are included and better T Rex, and raptor skins.

      Yes, despite a shoddy launch product I've been impressed with Frontiers support. This isn't just recent as I've been following them since 2016 with Planet Coaster. I already can trust Plant Zoo is in good hands after launch, the question is about whether the core game is up to scratch because there's only so many things you can do post launch.

    But honestly these are also quiet a lot of expectations we have in that game: it needs to be a park management simulator with customer interaction, an environment and habitat creator with the ability of customizing buildings and structures, and at the same time we wanna zoom in on single creatures and see a variation of characters and remarkable behavior, and all bedded in to the history and context of the Jurassic Park movies and previous games.

  • @nickchurch7110
    @nickchurch7110 4 роки тому +6

    I agree with most if not everything stated in this review. For me, the most disappointing aspects included the story (which is practically nonexistent), the lack of unique and meaningful dinosaur AI, the lack of any specific problems/challenges that could arise from taking care of certain dinosaurs (as you mentioned with the Velociraptors), the lack of disease prevention, stupid dinosaur AI that will occasionally make them go without eating or drinking for a while, the lack of creative alternate skins for some dinosaurs, the treatment of dinosaurs with arbitrary ratings (i.e. putting some less well-known dinosaurs above more famous ones which makes no sense), finicky guest needs while no way to interact with any guests exists, and the way the game forces you to do morally questionable things to progress through the campaign and gives you no alternate choices/allows you to go about things your own way.
    All these things have convinced me that Frontier needs to build a sequel to this game on the Planet Coaster/Zoo engine. Yes, the guests might look cartoony and derpy, but that can be changed surely. Plus, the modular building put in the engine would allow us to create custom blueprints and exhibits that could be shared exactly like what Planet Zoo is doing. And, having played a bit of the Planet Zoo beta, the animals look absolutely fantastic and realistic. They could easily do the same for the dinosaurs and other creatures of Jurassic Park/World in the Planet game engine. And the needs and requirements of each prehistoric creature could be laid out in as complex of detail as the animals in Planet Zoo, adding that challenge to taking care of each species I mentioned.

    • @anniehoward7333
      @anniehoward7333 4 роки тому

      Frank Rottenberg I feel the same way when a game gets to stressful. Starting out the game is pretty easy but then they start putting you on islands that have failed in the past so things are broken down or key buildings aren’t built. Or you might get put on a island thats prone to storms so more chances for the power to go out and stressing out your dinosaurs. It can get to a point where you may get stuck in a rut of micromanaging every building to see if it’s making enough money to out way the cost of having it running so you can actually make money on your island to get anywhere, I have spent a lot of time having most buildings closed that don’t make money and relaying on like 2 dinos to make money so I can make progress.If you aren’t paying attention to the needs of your dinosaurs(some need to be in pairs or more otherwise they will get too sad) and you realize too late that the dino who just died of old age is important cause the triceratops likes to have 4 or more of its kind in a closure or you don’t have enough money to grow another dino at the moment or the one you were trying to grow failed and by that point the dino is so sad it breaks out causing all the dinos in that closure to escape. So the game 100% has its moments of annoyance but once you get into that routine of knowing how things work and how to succeed I actually had fun with it. Then I would have to start over on another island because I completed my goal for the mission(story mode). For that price I would buy the game, I got mine for like $30(deluxe) on ps4 and I don’t feel like I wasted money after playing it.

  • @craterspeak6184
    @craterspeak6184 4 роки тому +1

    I honestly enjoyed and agreed with your video review of the game.
    I am happy with how the game grew up since launch, but it definitely has areas to improve on for it to develop into a fully enjoyable, immersive, and fun game. As of update 1.10, the game feels like a complete game with challenge mode, sandbox, and campaign mode as separate modes for players to have fun based on their preference. Now I could see and hope that development would add to the gameplay aspect of immersive guest management, attractions, and dinosaur behaviors. I do enjoy the roster of dinosaurs, but I feel new dinosaurs will still be added in as players, myself included, do enjoy the new additions, to which I hope those additions covers new niches untouched by the current roster.
    The first year and a bit of support has been a bumpy ride. But now that major bugs and additions are added, I wish these next two years would foccus in transforming this game into a more enjoyable experience in terms of tycoon games.

    I bought this for christmas and although I am having fun, you are bang on the mark on everything, its deep enough to be up to your waist, not shallow but not deep either (its like Sid Meiers Railroads). Good idea for the raptors would be to have a "live pen", ergo you need actual staff maintaining it, with tranqs, spending money on things like a better electrified fence ETC, give em a special pen..needs more things like that, turn keeping your dinos into a mission in itself, no just "get these dinos that we've designed to be uncomfortable from square one and survive for 4 minutes" (the final science missions instantly springs to mind, every dino is designed to get angry.."balanced eco system" my arse), infact yeah if i could complain about anything it would be that a mission concists of an unthought out set of dinos and survive it for 4 minutes :/...The whole game is lovely but like most games, its been done till its fun NOT till its finished, you are not wrong on your words sir it needed more depth.

But there is something about making the best park, getting the best rating on different islands (each with different challenges) there's is also a weird storyline type dialogue that goes on that changes between each character based if you focus on entertainment, security or science. You can carry out research, send parties to different countries to pick up different fossils to get different dinosaurs for you park. You can go first person and look around at your dinosaurs which look great. It is very in depth and kept my interest for as long as any other game does 🙂

  • @RyanRipley69
    @RyanRipley69 4 роки тому

    they did a great job on the dinosaur side but the guest aspect is sorely lacking, you just have to place the same 4 buildings to max guest satisfaction. any attractions and viewing platforms aren't required at all for a 5 star park. the game could also really benefit from more park decorations like statues you can place on paths, fountains/water features, signs (which they have in the RTJP pack), seating areas etc. at the moment it's just a selection of trees and rocks.
    a custom island generator would be incredible since the ones we have are okay but a tad small (i have all the DLC) and with over 60 types of dinosaur, i'd love to display as many as possible without a paddock taking up huge chunks of space. sanctuary is probably the biggest and least hill-y, since uneditable hills cause lots of terrain constraints. you end up with a lot of tiny bits of blank grass between buildings because building placement is very restrictive.
    idk, i love the game but there's such a strong sense of untapped potential that they either had to cut because of time or just didn't bother because they put their focus on the dinosaurs but a DLC i'd love to see is some form of water paddock creator for sea dinos!

      I am aware of that, my point was Frontier's adaptations were pandering to the hybrid crowd which has generally always been a small niche in the community, the majority of which prefer more realistic representations of dinosaurs. I accepted Indominus Rex, Indoraptor and to some extent Stegoceratops because they were core film canon, the rest were not and its really debatable if they should be in the game, otherwise it opens an entire beehive with other hybrids from toylines and Ludia's mobile game.

    Here’s my compromise for the new return to Jurassic park DLC not being in this video.
    Just consider it a MAJOR and AMAZING addition to the game for all Jurassic Park fans, who want just a little more of the original park in their world.

    The game still needs to improve but is far better from what it used to be. Unfortunately, the mess at launch is so bad, that it won't ever be worth that $60 price tag. In contrast, anything new Frontier adds is a welcome addition. I hope Frontier takes note of the DLC prices and content. As there is only two and both of them are questionably high. Dinosaur packs are alright though.

    Here are my ratings for the base game and dlc.
    Base game:
    Presentation 10/10: the game looks amazing with very little presentation issues.
    Animals: 8/10: with the addition of the pteranodon it feels much more complete with my only wants being mosasaurus and dimorphodon but the animal AI is still lacking.
    Campaign: 4/10: a lackluster campaign with a few good scenarios sprinkled in the parks like the money rush in tacaño or the wild dinosaurs on sorna I say it it a more forgettable experience.
    Gameplay: 7/10: this game works with controls but the limitations of the game really keep it from being amazing.
    Customization: 4/10: customization is underwhelming with seemingly the only thing you can customize is the island your on and the dinosaurs you can create.
    Post release 8/10: very nice support for the game with a lot of great changes to the games mechanics including scenery help the game a lot in gameplay.
    Dlc:
    Deluxe dinosaur pack: 6/10: some good and some bad dinosaurs even it out for me with a little bit more good dinosaurs than bad.
    Secrets of dr wu: 4/10 with decent regular dinosaurs but the hybrids really bring it down for me and with the islands and story being underwhelming.
    Cretaceous dinosaur pack: 8/10 great dinosaurs with iguanodon and charcharadontosaurus are let down by the underwhelming dreadnogtus.
    Carnivore dinosaur pack: 9/10: a truly wonderful pack with three great carnivore only let down by lack of interesting skins for the herrasaurus.
    Claire saunctuary: 10/10 a good story with three great dinosaurs, two large maps, and new fun paleobotany mechanic my favorite story dlc.
    Herbivore dinosaur pack: 10/10 three great dinosaur with great skins and completely unique animations a great pack all around.
    Raptor skin pack: 6/10: four great skins for the movie raptors but is let down by the fact you have to pay for this dlc instead of getting it free.
    Return to Jurassic park: 8/10 great new skins with the addition of pteranodon and a new great era, but a lack of other new dinosaurs and a ok story.
    Final verdict 8/10: one of my favorite games but is let down by a few main factors.

    People were always going to have exceedingly high expectations of a game like this, especially with the success from Operation Genesis. They didn’t need to add a whole lot from Operation Genesis, they just needed to bring the mechanics, graphics and UI into this decade.
    I’ll agree that more dinosaurs, buildings and mechanics always helps, but seeing some form of “Hybrid Generator” would’ve pushed this game to another level. The whole theme of the Jurassic World film was people creating their own dinosaur because the awe factor of the “normal” ones began to subside and become normal to see. I agree with others that say pack hunting, communicating and real time fights should be in the game. Turn based headbutting is just lazy, let alone the fact that you know the higher stat dinosaur will always win.
    All in all, Great ideas - but poorly executed.

    Most of the issues are caused by the game being on consoles. If it had been a PC exclusive we would have more deeper gameplay, better terrain tools, larger areas to build on more customization and so on. The amount of customization in the Planet Zoo beta is pretty amazing. You can see a lot of the effects from JWE in that game as well. Like the lighting and so on. The blue speckles when you look up at the sun are very similar to what you see in JWE. Consoles can't handle much. The game is already pushing it I imagine. Everything needs to be done by the hardware, the CPU handles the calculations and the consoles have pretty weak APU's. Things like herding, AI and animations would all be calculations and if they were to involved they would strain the weak CPU's. Also comparing this game to Planet Coaster and any other PC exclusive titles of the same genre is a waste of time and people should knock it off cause they known that this game is not a PC only title. The other games made by Frontier don't suffer from this so it's not incompetence problem. They know how to make good games. I also suspect time played a factor in the game. Since they only had a little over a year to work on the game and wanted to get it released in time with JWFK. It sounds like a lot of people expected things that Frontier never promised. Also it seems some people had some unrealistic expectations. I know some fell for speculative hype from some UA-camrs. If the game hadn't been on consoles as well we may have never seen it.
