And we also got a release date. The game is coming out June 12th for all PC, Xbox and PS4. I hope the game is good because I've been looking forward playing a jurassic park game since the day where I made a pretend jurassic park in Zoo Tycoon 2.
Jurassic World Evolution
Game » consists of 4 releases. Released Jun 12, 2018
A dinosaur park simulator.
We got gameplay! We got extended gameplay here!
This seems exactly like a return to the Operation: Genesis formula, which I'm okay with.
A game so underrated that it seems like nobody even knows it existed. On top of that, it's a rare game, so if you can find a copy you're likely paying upwards of the original price tag for it.
I'm glad they're taking another shot at this idea. Fingers crossed they nail it. I'm a total sucker for these types of games, and a good one involving a dinosaur park is really exciting for me.
Damn those are some good looking dinosaurs. Sign me up.
@hatking Don't worry, I'm with you. I'd like a PC copy for my collection but too expensive.
This looks like Operation Genesis with none of the flaws that original OG had (for instance there were caps for how many fences/buildings you could make)
@acura_max: Perfect thread title.
Always wanted a good JP game since the SNES days and this looks potentially really cool.
I also just recently learned there was JP RTS back in the day that had the entire voice cast from the actors from the Lost World
Man its weird that back in the day they would have the actual actors do the voice acting for video games.
@mikemcn: They sort of retconned the feathers on dinos thing in the latest movie. The justification for featherless dinos is that the Jurassic Park people really don't know what dinos look like and they just make the dinos the way people expect them to look like. It's actually an interesting idea and one that fits with Jurassic Park's commentary on consumerism.
@acura_max: @acura_max: i suppose that makes sense, and i appreciate them acknowledging it in-fiction. i'll wait for a new zoo tycoon for my scientifcally accurate dinos =( still would try this though.
And even with feathers we could still be way off about what dinos look like, it's amazing to think about how little we know about these creatures since all we have is their fossil record! Everything outside the bones requires a bit of guesswork.
Played some Operation Genesis yesterday to refresh my memory.
I really hope they make almost the same game but just a lot more features/content. It's already simple fun in the sandbox format. The loop feels good. The charm is in all the details and I hope they get that. The hatchery and the way the animals stroll out, and the woman announces the new exhibit over the park intercom for example. Can't wait to see how the different dinosaurs interact with the fences.
Ive barely watched footage of the new game because I don't wanna ruin the surprise.
Ugh maybe I'll have and watch a full preview video.
Edit: Okay I watched the latest gameplay demonstration from the devs. I can't wait for this. I'm so glad they are pretty much copying everything from Operation Genesis so far and expanding on that. /throwsmoney
As an avid fan of all things Jurassic Park, I am happy so many people here both know what Operation Genesis is and enjoyed it!
I've been super hyped for this game since it was announced and I am super duper hyped that it's coming out in a few months!!
Who do you think will be doing the quick look??
@snakeeater321: I bet East. They get down on the nostalgia stuff more frequently, I feel like. I could see Vinny and Alex wanting to do this.
Somewhat interested, but it depends on how good the console version is, since I would potentially buy it for my PS4.
It does seem aimed at a broad audience though, i.e. keeping it simple, so it might be OK in this regard.
@bonbonetti: From all the gameplay videos they did switch between a keyboard and mouse and a controller pretty seamlessly, and in fact some sections were easier to control with a controller.
so I assume the console version will be just as good as the PC version
@snakeeater321: Thanks, that's good to hear, will dig around for more videos.
