Jurassic World Evolution

[Lazadude]

Can't see a thread on it, anyone else looking forward to this?

Wiki - Official Site - Play footage by Devs

Been looking at this since its been in development, and its from the same developers as Roller coaster tycoon.

Basically need to build up your own park on any of the 5 JP islands, balance security vs income vs "the show"/entertainment, research new dinosaurs, genetic engineer species etc.

Comes out in a couple weeks (12th June).

I'll be picking it up, certainly.

Looks great, watched a 20 min featurette by the devs the other day.

i was a big rollercoaster tycoon fan back in the day, no doubt this is going to be top quality.

also pretty stoked its coming to console.

Read a couple of reviews at lunch, it looks interesting, the sort of game I quite enjoy (hopefully it'll have a decent sandbox mode as well). I'll keep an eye out for reviews once it's released but could well be tempted.

[WolfieBot]

This looks brilliant!

[Lazadude]

Out today!

Fairly good reviews, and knowing FDev there will be easily the same amount of content in the future via patches.

[Zetec-S]

Very tempting, but not sure I'm prepared to break my "£20 or under" rule... just yet anyway. I might give it a few weeks and see what sort of feedback it gets.

Isn't it free on Game Pass?

No, only MS exclusive titles are being made available on it from day one

I've 5*'d the first 3 islands, There are some particular species which are a handful to look after.

Raptors for example will constantly attack fences even if they are happy, and then will do it again if there is a storm.... Some cool animations on the dinos and some good fun (and air) can be had driving around in the ranger jeeps.

worth picking up as a former RCT and long time JP fan then?

[Lazadude]

I'd say so, it's a great park management game with super pretty graphics and sounds.

Knowing frontier, there is much more to come too. I'd say watch some gameplay on youtube, and see if its your thing.

Yup. Indoraptor is a ball ache though. Destroys electric concrete fences for fun.

Stick a Spinosaurus in to keep it occupied

I'll be honest I'm really enjoying this game. Underwater creatures DLC coming soon isn't it?

[designforlife]

my plan is to wait until it drops to around the £30 mark on XB1 and crack on i think, hopefully there will be some further patches and free DLC by then too!

[Lazermilk]

I was going to get this but its too expensive for what it is in my opinion, I will wait for it to drop in price, the xbox version is cheaper than PC which usually isn't the case.

I often use CD Key websites and even there it is 45-50 euro when normally new games can be had for 30ish, on xbox with the cd key sites it was about 35 euro last time I checked, but I would prefer the PC version for keyboard and mouse.

Feels like its missing content due to being rushed out for the film release, underwater dinos should be included from the start and not a DLC!

I hate the new method of releasing games with parts intentionally held back so they can then charge you more for the DLCs, or charge basically the same price of the game again for a 'season pass' when you have no idea what they will release for it in future.

[designforlife]

couldn't agree more.

Mortal kombat X is a great example, released without a full roster, encouraging you to buy the missing fighters as DLC.

Roll on two years and they release Mortal Kombat "XL" which has the full roster for the same price as the original game.

It's a complete joke really, and saddens me.

It's FREE DLC though, isn't it???
