![]() Sure, there's an innate pleasure to watching a Jurassic movie and anticipating the exact moment that everything will go tits-up. Similarly, I'm desperate for a version of Jurassic World which mirrors that more sedate management fantasy, rather than staying faithful to the mandatory hubris of the movies. I basically want one of those gentle docusoaps about the day to day running of a zoo, only with titanic birds from the deep past instead of poorly lemurs. Like many other dinosaur-likers, I have long pined for a movie about a dinosaur theme park that doesn't violently malfunction. I'd like to see all the growly, dangery stuff confined to dinosaur acquisition missions, because it would give the actual park-building a chance to be a bit more. To be honest, I really hope that's the way things go, for a slightly counterintuitive reason. JWE already had the ability to jump into the mind of a jeep and do animal recaptures yourself, so I don't think this would be a wildly ambitious departure. A schoolbus gets kicked over, but nobody dies, and the dinos are spirited away to live in a greenhouse. You'd race there with helicopters and tranq darts to have a bit of a scuffle. Let's say a triceratops is seen shouting at a bin in Cincinnati. Veering into conjecture a little, I wouldn't be surprised to see an almost X-COM-lite rhythm to the game, with globe-trotting capture missions punctuating a park-building metagame. That's a fun premise, and one which offers a racier alternative to the first game's slightly dry fossil unlocks as a means for acquiring new dinosaurs. That's the other big thing to expect in JWE2: different biomes, including ye olde deserte, and some kind of alpine environment, as well as (probably) the temperate redwood forest environment familiar from Jurassic Park: Pete Postlethwaite's Big Adventure. These will be customisable to some extent, and potentially filled with different biomes compared to the ones on the map where they're built. These include aquatic creatures (featuring, but hopefully not limited to, the comically oversized Mosasaur from the movies - which, in fairness, I love) and more flaplords, hopefully in some more satisfying capacity than the ploppable-downable aviary in the first game.įrom the look of the screenshots released so far, it seems the ol' beakmasters - and possibly more dinos - will be housed in large glasshouse enclosures, too. You'll also be building parks beyond Isla Nublar in all-new locations, which also means loads of new dinos to house. You'll be working alongside the Goldblum and Bryce Dallas Howard's characters to recapture the loosed beasts, and rehoming them in custom-built preserves. At this point in the franchise's plot, all the dinosaurs have escaped from Professor Shitstorm's mansion in California after a black market auction got a little bit snarly, and they're now going completely bonkers in the woods and that. ![]() As Jurassic World Evolution 2's director Rich Newbold revealed during the PC Gaming Show and Future Games Show, the game will be set after the events of the latest film, Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom. Let's get what's already been established out of the way first. Sure, the trailer for Jurassic World Evolution 2 only revealed a very slim portfolio of facts about the game, but using my sordid credentials as a giant Jurassic Park nerd, and a sinker of many hours into Frontier's park games, I reckon I can offer some reasonable assumptions as to what you can expect. While not perfect by any means, JWE is pretty much the best option out there right now for people who love dinosaur games that don't involve any combat. So, what’s your take? Do you agree with our top five? Are there any park management games we should know about? Let us know over on our socials here or down in the comments below.When Jeff Goldblum delivered the news that we'd be getting a sequel to Frontier's 2018 park builder Jurassic World Evolution sometime in the next six months at the Summer Game Fest last week, I was immediately raised from my E3 slumber. Plus, if you want to branch out past the dinosaur realm, then you’ll pleased to know that the park management game isn’t limited to a single species. It also doesn’t help that both released around a similar time, either.Īnyway, if you’re looking to fill a gap after wiping the slate clean of all the Chaos Theory campaigns in Jurassic World Evolution 2, then it’s definitely worth scooting over to Prehistoric Kingdom. Although still locked to its early access state, it’s surprisingly chock-full of features and playable modes. And so, you can see why city-building fans are conflicted between the two these days. The goal behind the latter, like the former, is to build a zoo and cram it full of prehistoric exhibits. It’s easy to get Jurassic World Evolution 2 and Prehistoric Kingdom mixed up, as they are both undeniably plucked from the same flock of feathers.
