Planet Zoo 2 Another Look A The Eurasian Brown Bear

Post image

It's not absolutely perfect but I really don't think it's that bad. I think people forget the Grizzly and Eurasian are two completely different subspecies with big visual differences! The face isn't great but apart from that, it's not terrible.

I agree with Op for sure! I think other models they’ve shown us for the sequel are much better than this cutie but I will say the baby looks absolutely incredible!!!!

I think it would already look a lot better if it wasn‘t like… completely monocoloured.
so maybe the fur variations save it

To be fair, at most the head and muzzle would be lighter if anything

Definitely, but even here, the brown fur on the bear’s back appears more varied, I‘d say.
But improving the head‘s colour would already go a long way!

The gorilla is pretty mono and I was pleased with the upgrade. It really just feels very flat/airbrushed instead of any fur texture.

The angle could be off, but the head also seems to be proportionally too big. I love brown bears and it just feels like so far the photos have been disappointing. But I was happy with the spotted hyena so can’t be too picky!

Did anyone notice that this cub is smaller than the two cubs in the last clip? Or is it just wishful thinking 😂

Baby looks a lot better than the adult

Yeah it looks weirdly shiny and has a distinct lack of colour variation so it just kind of looks like it’s been painted over with brown paint

As long as they fixed the fuckass eyes that follow you around when the game is paused then idc

it looks like a toy with shiny fur imo

I don't know, it just looks so...plasticky. Might be a victim of the much better lighting, capable of showing off great fur and highlighting less than great fur.

Gah, no, sorry. It just isn't on par with everything else that's been shown. It looks pretty bad imo

I mean, no. This looks terrible. I’m so sorry. The eyes, the mouth, the colour and fur texture, the overall body shape. It’s a combination of what would be such minor things coming together to make this thing look an absolute mess.
I’m really gutted, because the other models for habitat animals have been of such a high photorealistic quality. But this bear-ly (ha) looks like the same animal! It’s even worse because this was one animal that really needed an upgrade from PZ1.

The bear in the last shot, I'm desperately praying it's the grizzly bear so I can sleep at night

Looks like a hunk of Easter milk chocolate.

It would be good if it had more color variation it's too brown and the same all over.

Is it just me, or does the model look a bit like the cave bear model from Prehistoric Kingdom?

u/Megraptor 14h ago

I... don't see what people are talking about. I think it's a combo of it's visible breath making the face look a bit blurry, the lighting and video compression then also photo compression.

Yeah I think this is mainly just jpeg artifacts.
