okay this is as good a place as any to
begin hey guys flibbertigibbet here
today and welcome to jurassic world
evolution so this is an event that I
attended about a month ago now but maybe
about three weeks ago and if you haven't
already seen it
I actually was hanging out with Jeff got
the Jeff Goldblum at this event as well
he was there it was really really
awesome to meet him got a photo with him
did a video with him
if you did miss it I'll link it down
below and on-screen and all that so you
go check it out basically we talked
about nothing related to Jurassic world
evolution or Jurassic Park or anything
at all in fact he just talks to me and
my friend mr. meoli about nothing and it
was good fun
anyway this video is about playing the
new game from frontier who sent me out
to this event those in LA and we got to
play the game for about an hour we sat
down with one of the developers of the
game they sort of helped us through it
and you know we are basically just
creating our own Jurassic Park now I
guess one of the concerns I had going
into this was that it was gonna be a bit
like planet coaster in terms of the
level of creativity and depth which for
a game that is I think mostly designed
to be played by a lot of people there's
a lot of creativity and part of the
coaster that I think would be hard to
sort of grasp in a game like this but
thankfully it's pretty much it's a lot
of this is sort of plopping down larger
blocks but then you still have the
elements of creativity in terms of park
layout and enclosures and all of that
anyway so I guess talking about what's
actually on screen you can see it in the
background but we've just created our
first dinosaur from some of the existing
DNA that we already had and I love just
how like up close we can get in this
game so you can zoom right into the
dinosaurs just follow them around and
all of that and it's pretty cool so
basically the way this works like this
is the there's I think it is there's a
number of islands in the game and you
unlock them as you progress her as he
completely Thailand and the missions on
each Island you'll progress through and
you'll unlock more stuff as you go and
there are these three different mission
paths that you can see right here
entertainment science and security each
of them have a slightly different goal
in mind so science is all about you know
furthering the development of you know
dinosaurs and making
DNA better all that kind of stuff
entertainments obviously about
entertaining part guests and creating
the best sort of amusement and
attraction possible security is all
about you know you know just having fun
with Dinosaurs making the most dangerous
dinosaurs possible in fact in this
mission one of the goals is to actually
let the dinosaurs out into the park so
it's a bit of fun the security one's a
little bit of fun but the cool thing is
so down the bottom right you can see
each of those three icon science
entertainment and security and basically
they each have a button you actually
need a balance in someone so you can do
them in whatever order you want but they
will the sort of I guess the characters
behind each of the branches would become
unhappy if you're not giving them enough
attention so how'd I do you have to do
all of them but you know at your leisure
how you want to do it so we just built
the expedition Center which is this is
where we send teams off to go find more
dinosaur fossils and little amber
samples that have dinosaur DNA inside
mosquitoes so we can send them off to
find more because at the moment our
mission is to find DNA for an ad
montessori so we can see a map of the
world each of the yellow dots is some of
that we can go and each of these will
also tell you what fossils you're most
likely to find this and this one that we
just sent them to is most likely going
to have the Edmontosaurus in so we're
gonna send our team there find some DNA
and we need basically at least 50% DNA
on any type of dinosaur to be able to
create them to be able to incubate them
here in the park if you have any lesson
that you can't do it and basically 50%
you're completing the rest of the genome
with something like frog DNA or you know
like you're like in the movies where you
mix a match DNA to fill in the blank
spots but the more DNA that you have of
each dinosaur the stronger the healthier
the longer living they're gonna be all
that kind of so basically the better the
stats of the dinosaur are gonna be if
they're 50% they have a you know greater
chance of dying sooner or not being
reproductive all that kind of stuff but
this little guy here he's looking great
isn't he so if we look at the dinosaur
here you can actually see the stats of
everything so the social is getting a
little bit lower because he needs a
friend we also don't have anywhere for
him to eat this is a herbivore and I
don't know that they eat the plants just
around the park I assume not but anyway
we just put down one of these little
feeders here and this will allow them to
eat from them now the idea with these as
well is because
to park for guests I've put this right
next to the fence because you can add a
viewing gallery and because dinosaurs
are obviously gonna be attracted to the
feeding areas if you put the feeding
areas near the fence and near the
viewing gallery the visitors are going
to be way happier because they're gonna
have a better chance of seeing dinosaurs
as they go through the park so we're
just extracting some DNA from that Amba
fossil now other than iron before so
little mosquito encased in amber the
amber sample and that will actually give
us enough DNA to be able to create the
dinosaur but first I think we're gonna
construct an ACU Center yeah so this one
is how we can tranquilize our dinosaurs
and move them around the park so if we
need to move them between enclosures or
if they happen to escape we can collect
them and put them back in it also is a
fun little one because you can actually
fly the helicopter in in first person
one first person third person but you
take control of it and fly it around
however you want which is a bit of fun
if you ever noticed already there's a
lot of editing in this video because
basically there was a lot of learning as
I was going through this and I was
chatting with the developer he was
explaining some things there's a lot of
chatting from the from the in-game
characters as well so I've cut a lot of
that out just so we can sort of move
through my experience a little bit
quicker but yeah here's what I was
talking about earlier we can mix the DNA
we don't have a lot of different samples
that we can mix up at the moment but you
can go through the genome change the
stuff and actually changes the stats
down the bottom so increases or
decreases any of the stats so our
viability on that is actually of
incubating that is now 99 which means
there's like I think I believe a 1%
chance of it not incubating if the
viability of it is really low you might
have a chance that you just waste time
and money trying to create a dinosaur
and it doesn't you know eventually
eventually that it doesn't become a
dinosaur essentially oh yeah here's the
flying around at the helicopter as well
a little bit of fun I could imagine what
you know a whole park built out of OB a
lot of fun as well I actually can't wait
to play this game properly because
obviously we started on a POC that's
kind of going on here and this is very
much a tutorial level of the game as
well at the very beginning you're just
starting off from lining out of play so
later on I'm pretty excited to start
designing some
parks but here is our I believe our
Edmontosaurus that we've just created
stepping out into the world ooh
beautiful little guy
well he's not little actually is quite
big once once you see him because we'll
let him out of the enclosure in a minute
to roam around the park and you can sort
of see him next to the the scale of
people it doesn't look that big right
now cuz the camera is just there but
you'll see so these both of these
dinosaurs that we've got in this
conclusion this is quite a big enclosure
they're both herbivores so nothing to
worry about there they're not gonna hate
each other though you can you know
really mix and match any dinosaur that
you want if you prefer you can also just
create dinosaurs and release them into
the park but here we go the guys
basically just told me to open the gate
for the mission and that's what we're
gonna do and let all about dinosaurs
roam free so our little guys going out
there he's having a look he's like he's
crossed the threshold and he's like I'm
free even though their enclosure is
pretty damn good I'm gonna be honest
it's a pretty nice little enclosure to
be in but he's like yeah you know what I
want to be outside but there goes this
guy as well now the weather actually
while we're watching this in the
background the weather in those stopped
raining but anyway there's little people
all my scientists running away from the
weather in this game is actually quite
interesting not so much on this first
island but on the later islands that you
unlock as you progress through the game
you can actually get severe weather
events that are gonna destroy parts of
the park so they might knock out the
power so then you're gonna have to fix
it and that could also you know lead to
an increased chance of maybe dinosaurs
escaping getting another part you know
all the classic Jurassic Park movie
disasters that happen are gonna be more
increasingly likely to happen throughout
the game so it's obviously a lot of
managing you have to do just sort of
combat that which i think is really cool
so there's obviously the dynamic weather
system which like I said later on can
get a little bit more severe but in this
first Park it doesn't really do much
other than look pretty damn cool so now
we're actually tasked with collecting a
dinosaur and putting them back in so
what we have to do is actually fly the
helicopter over and then basically shoot
the dinosaur with tranquilizers hey
they're not gonna be harm no harm
but you know this reminded me so much of
rollercoaster tycoon 3 with the the wild
expansion pack where you could fly
around and tranquilize the animals
sounds like ha man that's so cool and I
mean because the thing is frontier
developments the guys who are making
this game also made rollercoaster taken
free and all that so it's like surely
they got inspired like that do you like
for the way that that controls you
tranquilize them so yeah basically now
the guys tranquilize we can now task our
ACU building here the transport team we
basically click on our dinosaur then we
click where we want them to be moved and
this is the same way you could move
dinosaurs between enclosures as well if
you wanted to swap them around and all
that but we should probably close that
gate as well right there so I think what
are we up to now I think we're what are
we building I think we're building a
ranger station next I think we do that
in a minute but yeah I I was a little
upset to find out that it was anyway so
transporting a dinosaur back at the
moment they can't they can't wake up
while they're being suspended in the air
sounds like more because be pretty funny
if you're trying to transport like a
t-rex or something and they wake up Wow
think of the air noise don't start
thrashing about that'd be cool penguin
they they they get lowered into wherever
they're going and they wake up
essentially as soon as they put on the
ground and then they just know they're
fine he's happy he's back he's back in
his enclosure he's a good dude
there he is noise yeah so then that is
the the way you let him out you get them
back in I'm sure that'll be I'm just
excited really to check out how far this
game can go because this is so like we
got an obviously very limited early look
at this game as you can see the top
right does say development build as well
so it is super early and all that but
I'm excited to check out stuff later on
so that that we've just built whoop so
hit the microphone was a ranger station
which much like the helicopter the
Rangers come with this little Jeep and
we can drive this around the park
however we want
unfortunately we cannot run over people
the people or in this game all have
advanced fish AI like Call of Duty did a
number of years ago so they just get out
of your way no matter what even if
you're banging it down the road as fast
as possible the car basically it
automatically breaks and then they get
out of the way answer you know it's a
little sad I do want to run them over
but you can't do it yeah so you didn't
literally gun I was just having a lot of
fun driving around one really cool thing
that I did think of while doing this was
you could very easily create almost like
a jeep race track you know you could
terraform at however you want to build a
little pathway going around it you brace
your Jeep around it but the cool thing
with the Rangers is that other than just
randomly driving around like this you do
actually you're actually able to do all
the jobs that the Rangers would do and
this kind of reminded me of if you guys
ever played the Zoo Tycoon on Xbox one
which was also by the way developed by I
think it's developed by frontier was it
for it to you I think it was I think it
was developed by these guys for
Microsoft so yeah it's kind of like that
way you sort of take on the persona of
the park ranger as you can see we have
the interaction to resupply the feeder
there and we can actually go around in
our Jeep here and we sort of stop here
we can start taking photos and you can
actually get money for the photos that
you take depending on how many dinosaurs
or know whether or not they're eating or
something
you know whatever they're kind of doing
so you can see the one that was running
we got more points for the photo and it
sort of gives you all the stats in there
and it's really cool so you can make a
little bit extra money that way you can
go around the park do the jobs that need
to be done but yeah your Rangers are
gonna be the guys taking care of your
dinosaurs and all that restocking the
food so kind of important half but also
kind of fun just to absolutely Fang it
around the park so if we go to this big
hill yes you can indeed get some air so
seek air it's pretty cool so salmon a
bit of fun for this you can also say the
water like actually we're gonna have a
look at the terraforming and building a
new enclosure in just a minute as well
to see how all that works but the
terraforming and the for the landscaping
look all that is actually really
do and you can also as you can see drive
through the water say if you want to do
that you can it's all like a very
simplified sort of enclosure building
which I actually really like cuz I was
worried because like with the planet
coaster as I mentioned earlier it's
super detailed and in that game you have
to place every tree in every bush like
one by one and I was like oh my god if
we have to do that in this game it would
be a nightmare but you don't so it's
good so now I think we gonna are we
gonna check out the new enclosure now
yeah so we're just looking so we got all
that space you can see thee that sort of
orange border is current our current
Park land and I believe that does mate
maybe expands later I'm not sure if it
expands later on off that's just the
complaint size of this map but the other
islands are there are some other way
bigger islands this is just a first
island that is smaller and the other
ones are a lot bigger but landscaping
here we go so we can jump into the tree
mode and we just remove them which
removes all trees although the shrubs in
that we de can clear a bunch of land so
that we can actually build on it here
because we need to build a second
enclosure for the carnivores because we
don't really want to mix them up with
the other guys cuz they will probably
not you know like it so much but here we
got the fence and you can see the
controls down the bottom you can you can
either just do straight Francis or if
you press space you can start toggling
and building curb sections so we're just
gonna build out a you know decently
sized enclosure not the best one it's
not the biggest the other I think the
other ones away bigger but you know this
is just each testing purposes my first
enclosure building you know just had to
be a little bit conservative but yeah
you can do essentially just drag out
curves however you want you can sort of
enable or disable it and you get some
really easy snapping along the lines
there as well so it's a it's a pretty
decent way to build the fences but I am
interested to see how cuz this game is
gonna be on consoles as well Xbox and
ps4 and I feel like it'd be I don't know
I don't know how well they have they
said that this is actually the controls
are actually really nice on console but
you know why would you ever say oh it's
not the best so it'd be interesting to
see how it does control in there because
I'm always skeptical of like sort of
building games or when they put on
consoles but I think a lot of the way
that this game works
does seem kind of designed in a way that
would make sense to work on consult
which I would hope so because it's being
released at the same time on all of them
but that building I just put down that
had that tone was the sort of viewing
gallery for the guests and at the moment
we have to actually connect up power
throughout the park because all the
buildings everything need power you
don't need to have power lines running
all over the place like I have right
there please ignore my ugly Park it's
just because I had to get it done
quickly you can sort of hide them away
in the trees a little bit better but the
idea with that is there's little power
substations and the substations each
have sort of a range around them of
buildings that they can power so you can
put them within the sort of circle of
the substation and that all the
buildings within that range will be
powered and then you just run wires
between the substations and the power
generation buildings as well and I
assume that that's how power gets
knocked out is by the power lines just
you know getting destroyed you can see
and just how quick you can actually put
together an enclosure here as well with
all the trees being painted in just here
and I put the little carnivore feed in
there that just pops up a goat much like
in the movies where the gums up there
but now we're gonna incubate our
Ceratosaurus I think that's how you said
I don't know but that's our carnival
we've ready to go
unfortunately I was actually running out
of time at this point like we only just
got the carnival done like they had
knocked on the door saying hey buddy
your time's up stop recording get out
and like no no just give us 30 more
seconds so I did just get him in at the
end but here my other guys that's sort
of just chilling out there and I get
some nice rain running around leave them
they look beautiful
having a good time but here we go so now
this is pretty much all the footage I
got of the carnival unfortunately I
really wish I could have sort of played
around with it a bit more maybe let him
out in the park because he can now I
can't eat people and eat other dinosaurs
would have been cool to see
unfortunately I'm not gonna see it in
this video so apologies for that but
this is pretty much my look at the
Jurassic world evolution so if you do
want to see the video I did with Jeff
Goldblum as well they'll be linked down
below like I said earlier but yeah I'm
pretty excited for this this comes out
in June I believe so only a couple of
months from now and I'm definitely
thinking we're gonna be playing
this kids I think it has a lot of
potential I'm super excited to play more
of it I kind of wish that we got more
than an hour why we will there cuz I
feel like an hour I only had just
started learning the game and I was
ready to really get stuck into it but at
last I did not
anyways that's gonna do it for this time
guys thanks watching maturely becometh
suggestions and feedback down below I'll
see you next time
and have an awesome day
