The Weirdest Changes From JWE To JWE2

A showcase of some of the strangest changes made from Jurassic World Evolution, to Jurassic World Evolution 2. It's all 100% nitpicky nonsense, so it's not meant to be taken seriously. It's all a bit fascinating really.

[@jackmills7758]

JWE2 not having the other 5 death islands besides sorna is a strange thing to leave out

[@yehoshuas3548]

Agreed. managing all 5 islands was a lot of fun

[@candaceide1723]

Only Sorna was in the movies so that’s probably why

[@ImFinlayOtay]

I was still watching an ad for the video when I saw this comment, I fully agree and will still play jwe1 sometimes just to play the 5 deaths. Jwe3 needs them back if it gets made

same bro, I was so sad to not see the orange lights when I bought the game let's hope JWE3 will be the ultimate game, with the nice things of JWE1 and 2

[@Orion-Pax_34]

For some reason the fence height bugs me the most. The smallest fence shouldn’t be as tall as the concrete wall

[@Pawtism_Legacy]

The aviary should be something you spawn as really small, but then you pull the sides of it and the dome grows bigger and bigger until you get to the size of the one from the movie which was very big. The lagoons should be placed how normal fences are, but when you connect them together the center fills in.

[@Pawtism_Legacy]

@@RavenWhisperer Yeeees😍

[@richardmiller7705]

Something I want for evolution 3 is to choose how deep the lagoons are so if you make them shallow enough they could become rivers for the dinosaurs which some could swim in. Maybe even showing some animals breaking into lagoons for water or aquatic animals breaking out of the lagoon when they see something big enough like a low flying helicopter or a dinosaur on the side. Humans would be too small to properly see so would be safe. I’d also like more interactions between the animals. Maybe even Spinosaurids fighting some smaller aquatic animals like Plesiosaurus or maybe Lioplueradon (which would be incredibly 1 sided but then again a small armoured herbivores can be fight and be killed in 1 hit so). I’d probably also want like a new skin setting where the dinosaurs become Paleo accurate and the old skins become colour pallets for them. I’d also probably want more permanent scaring like maybe a Rex losing part of a tail or an arm in a fight and more unique fights in general. Circle can insinuate the fight and then they fight truly. Fast with heavy blows. And maybe big groups of defenceless herbivores working together against something like 3 gallimimus can fight against a velociraptor or 3 parasaurolophus can fight 1 T. Rex. I’d prefer that 1 hadrosaur could fight a battle but I’ll take what I can get

[@gergomolnar2193]

I noticed a trend that in JP/JW themed park building games the environment become increasingly lifeless: In the original Jurassic Park Operation Genesis, when a dinosaur ran into a tree, birds came out of its canopy. Birds migrated across the island in a V formation, colorful butterflies sometimes flew by, and depending on the weather, other animals could be heard in the environment. In Jurassic World Evolution, only parrots appear, and only when you clear or place a forest, but other than that, pretty much nothing. And in Jurassic World Evolution 2, the situation is even worse, apart from the music, the sounds of the wind and the weather, the maps of the game are completely silent and there is no sign of any other animals that are not dinos or humans (at least as far as I know)

[@toronjaAR2717]

Ahm no, animal audio are in jwe2 like in Biosyn map

[@toyohimeyeswatatsuki6917]

[@jeffreyjosepamplona3417]

[@SteezyRedStars]

It's really those small things that make a game so wholesome. Idk why developers take it for granted

[@MeatBALLdad]

there also those dead deers when you hunt a wild allo in the campaign

[@dinocraft1204]

One that is so major but no one seems to talk about is how they got rid of the ceratopsian kill animation that was in the first game. It used to be a kickass horn impale but now everything that dies to a ceratopsian just flops over. It seems so strange that they wouldn’t include something that was so easily portable

[@stevenvarela7157]

Hopefully they fix their changes in JWE3. Would love to see these minor details come back.

[@Mecha-YT]

I'm afraid JWE 3 is just gonna repeat the same cycle and leave out even more stuff from JWE 1 and now also JWE 2 This is one of the many reason of why I just don't have faith in JWE 3 justifying its own existence.

It’s so odd that the scale for buildings changes so drastically between games, one of the strangest changes was the JWE 2 Visitor centre being a circular building not the accurate shape from the first JWE.

[@phone_gal]

i understand why Frontier didnt allow foliage to stack and the fences to be the same height (for challenge mode balance and for Raptor Animations), but it should be a changeable thing in sandbox

[@PrimalKevYT]

While JWE2 is a better game generally speaking I feel like the first game had better and more immersive graphics, I really miss the lush environment of the first game, the tropical grass and foliage looked so much more dense and real and it responded really nicely to dinosaurs walking through it and such, everything also actually looked wet after rain and the lighting and shadows were so much prettier.

[@connorstamps1298]

Fully agree, it just looked so much more *lush* and *vibrant* that JWE2 lacks, like, sure it looks better, but it feels worse visibly.

[@MeowsclesTheFlexingFeline]

[@jacobeburns6813]

Thank you some one finally said it

[@ThestriX46]

Simply put, JWE 1 had that Jurassic Park soul through its lighting and atmosphere that is completely lacking in the second game.

[@G.oliath]

Genuinely annoyed the ranger vehicles don't have tranquilizers on them. My favorite part about the first game was getting in my truck and manually fixing my park and tranquilizing dinosaurs who had escaped

I’ll never understand why so many video game sequels remove certain features from the previous game instead of just adding on to what we had before.

Fellow Park Manager, just came across your channel and subscribed. There is another original JWE difference; there is no longer an escaped JP 3 pterodactyl flying overhead in JWE 2 and the current JWE 2 guest shops no longer have building animations for at least two years now. From what I remember, Frontier has a more reduced staff now hence the confusion.

[@EnzoFilmsProd]

This sort of cements my opinion that JWE2 was rushed out to production, and I always wondered why they couldn’t just do everything they did in JWE2 in JWE, but Idk

[@MintberryCrunch.]

I've always found the visibility field around tour cars in JWE2 to be really weird and WAY, WAY too short.

[@spudato961]

JWE1 already had an issue with lack of detail and depth, and to be completely honest, for each step forward JWE2 took, it also took a step back...

The window interiors for the Visitor Center in 2 is also pretty bad so it looks like there’s a modern office on every level (including the atrium).

[@ThestriX46]

Yeah, I think you can even spot a flatscreen monitor inside.. that's just lazy

[@megabigdump]

Vehicles actually handled better in the first game (instead of flipping ass over end when hitting a pebble like in the jwe2). And I miss the Ranger Jeeps having the ability to medicate and tranq.

[@daniel.c5083]

Sometimes most of the effort is added to the first proyect because it is new and the ideas are fresh and creative but when the second time comes out, the ideas get a bit tricky and boring because "We already did this, we need something different" and because of this, the second projects sometimes dont have the same energy as the first ones. Doesn't mean they are bad in my opinion, I love JWE 2.

[@psychoblagger]

yea i think this hit me the worst. the dinosaurs almost feel boring in jwe2 which is surprising because they are objectively less boring than they were in jwe1

Also the dinosaurs and buildings are smaller on JWE2

[@theferretman2157]

I dunno if that's true but I'd say that's a good thing, quite frankly they're too big as of now and it breaks the game's sense of scale (on top of being the reason small species don't work very well)

What I have to complain about Jurassic World Evolution 2 for me is how you've changed the dinosaur genome, I'd like it to be similar to the second game, only the strength and defence part would be like the first one where you had all those animals

[@muchtoodog]

i kind of wish people could add some of these back with mods but i cant find any

[@Tucher97]

I feel some of these structures could be reused or atleast repurposed, the weather protection building can be useful for structures that can't be protected. As for the greenhouse, I feel it can work 2 ways, a minor attraction, and maybe a building that can enhance the plants in an enclosure, or maybe needed to research additional plants that can be very beneficial, sort almost akin to how Operation genesis had a case where you can use paleo plants which are expensive but wont harm dinos, or use more modern day plants, cheaper but will have a chance to harm animals. Also I noticed for the Aviary those spires are missing and I thought those would rock tons to have. As for the Raptor pen, eh its nice sure, great if its a decoration with life which people wanted from the benches.

[@2Siders]

I know most of you prefer a sandbox builder with infinite money, but I prefer sandbox with money, and JWE2 didn’t really improve on the main issues with economy the first one had. Starting with low money and high difficulty like high tax, is still pretty difficult early on, but after your second dinosaur you might as well have infinite money it’s so easy.

[@OVEddy]

tbh the genome customization in JWE2 always seemed too simple, i kinda liked modifying individual stats

[@BlueSkies30]

There's a lot I didn't notice but it's still a shame. The dinos not grazing is such a downgrade! The lack of lighting on the JW sign. Also, the paddocks looked better when the herbivores ate from feeders instead of extinct plants. Having those extinct tropical trees and flowers on the Sierra/snow map makes no sense (they don't really fit any of the maps except the tropical ones) and we could hide the feeders with trees before. I also preferred the tree brush in the 1st game. It was easier to place the trees the way you want them.

[@curtiszilla9192]

Currently playing JWE2 Though I like the dinosaurs in the second game better, the campaign itself was better in the first game with the five deaths Also the facility mechanics for JWE2 are needlessly complicated and confusing while JWE had a more understandable system.
