Re: Jurassic World Evolution
Recent studies actually suggest that 'terror birds', or at least Gastornis specifically, were herbivores. Their beaks, on close inspection, have no real adaptations for predation, and the isotopes in their fossils are consistent with a vegetarian diet. Ben G. Thomas did a video about it a few months back, if you want more details. But yeah, so the Raptors probably take that one.

Re: Jurassic World Evolution
Actually, actual terror birds (phorusracids) were def predators. Gastornis and it's family are the only ones we know were herbivores and it's not actually a terror bird.JAGzilla wrote: ↑Fri Jul 09, 2021 11:15 am Recent studies actually suggest that 'terror birds', or at least Gastornis specifically, were herbivores.

This is looking so much better then the first game, as much as I love it haha.
More confirmed og returning as well! I'd be worried if it weren't for the fact I'm sure there's more and so far, it's been all my faves

Re: Jurassic World Evolution
I'm fairly confident that most of the species from the previous game will be returning with near identical designs. The video confirmed Corythosaurus, Torosaurus, Chasmosaurus, Edmontosaurus (?), Parasaurolophus (?), Pachycephalosaurus, Dracorex, Apatosaurus or Diplodocus (the design looks thick like Apatosaurus but has spikes like Diplodocus), and gave us our first look at Velociraptor.
There is also an in-game menu that shows the Albertosaurus, Camarasaurus, and Nigersaurus, though those also look like screen shots from the first game.
Regardless, most of the new reveals appear to be the exact same models just with new skins. I would bet they will do this for most of the dinosaurs, but update certain designs (like the T. rex) to be improved.
I'd also say it's a safe assumption that if a species is showing up in Dominion, it won't be in the game at launch.
Now if they could just confirm that the RTJP skins/models are returning as well...the Pteranodon especially.

Re: Jurassic World Evolution
Yes, I agree. Very interesting because it seems to be all of them, even the DLC ones. Makes me wonder how many we're truly getting if it's 75+ and it's already 68 there.
I believe the RTJP skins will be for Chaos Theory mode and maybe the sandbox?

Re: Jurassic World Evolution
Well, the full roster for JWE is 68. At least two of those 68 will be in JWD. If we take out the hybrids except for Indominus and the Indoraptor, that's another three down bringing us to 63, giving room for 12 new species on release. We've already seen three (Amargasaurus, Coelophysis, and Mosasaurus). If we split that twelve three ways, then we could see four new dinosaurs, four new Pterosaurs, and four aquatic creatures all before Dominion gives us a bunch of new ones.SoggyNoodles2016 wrote: ↑Tue Jul 27, 2021 6:32 am Yes, I agree.

Re: Jurassic World Evolution
No Camp Cretaceous content also excludes Ouranosaurus (unless it comes back with the same design as in JWE1) from returning and deconfirms Monolophosaurus as a potential new dinosaur. If a lot of the returning dinosaurs are really just ports of the old models, which seems to be the case with Torosaurus and Dracorex, I can very much see the entire JWE1 roster returning. At this point I'm much more interested in seeing what Frontier does with new species as most of my favorite JWE1 dinosaurs were ones that were designed by Frontier without any prior movie connections to tie into.

brb, gonna treat my employees better than Jeff Bezos.
Also, seeing a group of Baryonyx interacting without immediately attempting to maul each other makes my heart swell.

Re: Jurassic World Evolution
As a fan of the first game I definitely can't wait for the sequel to come out. I know managing simulator's aren't for everyone but I like them, especially if it is something I am a fan of like JP. I've been watching and reading some of the latest updates and everything is looking good so far! Can't wait to see the finished product.

Re: Jurassic World Evolution
Goddamn I can't wait for this game already! I've been burnt out on vidya lately. I'm kinda trying to stay in the dark as much as I can, but I've been wondering if this is still a "park management" sim in the sense of having to deal with guests, earning revenue and such?

Re: Jurassic World Evolution
Another thing I noticed in that scientist management vid: blue Brachiosaurs. They might actually allow sauropods to have color in this game!

Re: Jurassic World Evolution
Chad Frontier making the worst JW design look good (though it needs pycnofibers)
Also, confirmed on their fourms they'll eat fish/bugs and they will attack guests

Re: Jurassic World Evolution
Yeah, they look much better. The lack of pycnofibers is fine to me because they didn't look great in the first place, but I wonder if this design is a Frontier original, or a sneak peek to JWD

Re: Jurassic World Evolution
I am not usually excited by large carnivores, but this is honestly one of the best looking dinosaurs that Frontier has designed. It's colorful, its pretty accurate, and it's totally unexpected. I love it.
