Jurassic World Evolution is a good park building game, reminiscent of stuff like Zoo Tycoon or Jurassic Park Operation Genesis. But one area it has been completely lacking in is rocks. Where are all the rocks? Well, finally, Evolution players are getting some damn rocks and they are very happy about it.
The newest DLC was recently released for the park building game Jurassic World Evolution. This new update included some new features, like a photo mode for consoles, but more importantly, it added some new dinosaurs. But one of these new dinos is a bit broken.
One of my favourite games is the park builder Jurassic Park: Operation Genesis. It was released back in 2003. The recent Jurassic World Evolution was a solid successor to JPOG, but Parkasarus, an indie game in Early Access on Steam, actually captures the feel of JPOG better. And it looks cuter doing it, too.
This week, Jurassic World Evolution fans are dedicated to one simple mission: Flooding their virtual parks with stegosauruses. This isn’t because these fans randomly decided the world needed more big herbivores. There is a purpose to their sudden dinosaur obsession. Evolution developer Frontier Development are celebrating their 25th anniversary and are tasking fans with creating and releasing a community total of 25,000 stegosauruses into their parks. Fans have only until January 31 to complete the challenge.
While console fans will only get a chance to build their dino park this week, those on PC have been corralling T-Rexes since the middle of E3. So for those who jumped on the Planet Coaster makers' take on a Jurassic World theme park, how have you found it?
If you've been waiting patiently to build your own dino park, but you'd rather do it from the couch, good news. Jurassic World: Evolution gets a console release on retail this week.
Apart from the hours I'll be binning with Tegan playing with the random street cats that have been nesting nearby, I'll also be doing a lot of this on the weekend: Who's a pretty dinosaur?
With all the announcements of games coming out in the months and years ahead, it's easy to forget that some games are coming out this week. Like the one that lets you build your own dinosaur park.
A chance to build your own dinosaur theme park and almost certainly watch it all go to hell? That's Jurassic Park Evolution in a nutshell, the upcoming title being hammered out by Frontier Developments of Elite: Dangerous fame. We haven't really seen much in the way of gameplay, but that changes today.
Planet Coaster is great, but building your own virtual dinosaur theme park is even better. So if you're keen to see how Jurassic World Evolution is coming along, here's the first in-game footage.
