Better than fishing planet?

[Diddy]

Will this blow fishing planet out of the water? *pun intended*

[Fishing4Trains]

Only if they add fishing all over the world. If it's just USA then no.

[DopaTrain]

If its open world without micro transactions then yes.

It's also a worthless game if the rod and reel mechanics don't work. I certainly won't pre-order but wait for reviews and youtube vids. But hopefully it'll be fine. I've wish-listed it anyway, and it looks amazing.

in their latest Q/A they said the mechanics of "rod play" would be as life like as possible. They are also working on "need zones" for the fish based on water temp, time of day, and altitude (i guess for vertical differentiation in some maps, or perhaps they meant depth of water idk).

I think it will if they aloud to walk around in a bigger space and all around the map/lake unlike most fishing games

[Huli]

absolulty yes (i play fishing planet and im in end game)

Fishing planet isn't even a fishing game, it's a pixel aimer as everyone aims for the same pixel for the same fish.

My Thoughts:

Pro's for Angler
- Cross Platform
- Friends can share a boat so probably fish "Migration" of some sort and not a time stamp mechanic with a set # of fish spawns
- Much better graphics (probably won't see same bushes and textures map after map)
- A larger team that hopefully listens to the community because FP doesn't except "yes" people and those that can't even catch a bait fish IRL lol.
- US waterways on initial release where the majority on FP players still prefer to play on and will probably expand globally over time
- Fresh new fishing game.

Pro's for Fishing Planet (for now)
- The best mobile fishing game out there lol
- Competitions and tournaments (for now)
- Great community minus a very select few FP fan girls that are already looking for the smallest of things to bash the Angler on months ahead of actual release.

Conclusion:
Game play is the key, so time will tell. Hopefully they'll take their time and nail it upon release. Attention to the small details in a fishing game adds up to,
I haven't been excited for a new fishing game in the last 6+ years until now.

I'll correct you. Fishing Planet has no advantage other than graphics, it is an absolutely uninteresting, meaningless, unrealistic game, it is connected with fishing only by the fact that it has fishing tackle, bait, bait and fish models. There is no realistic biting in the game, there is no realistic fish generation, there is no realistic fish behavior in the game, there is no realistic fighting in the game, you don’t feel anything when you play the fish, the fish does not behave realistically on the hook, this game is made for children, for people who have never they didn’t catch fish in real life, which don’t understand anything, they created cartoon fishing for them and make money on them with the help of DLC. Therefore, I think it’s incorrect to give an example of a fishing planet as a simulator or fishing, this is not a simulator but a children’s arcade.

Remember it's still a video game. Not even NASA, Elon, or Boeing can make the ultimate sim. But to come close in a video game can be cool but we would like to catch more than a fish or 2 per outing also. If your going into it expecting a perfect sim you might be just disappointed. There will be some sort of arcade like feel to every game. FP Graphics over Angler? I don't know.... FP is a 7+ year old game but I will say it was pretty good for it's time, especially before they started thinking mobile and converted it all towards it.

Yes they do push the sale of $20-$50 DLC's was a bit excessive especially when things go unfixed, but it's also a FTP business model too. I think they just went a bit overboard when milking the pandemic rush to a degree.

I'm sincerely curious as to which game you think is a good fishing simulator?

it may not be a good example of a simulator, it is how ever one of the best fishing games next to Russian fishing 4, and in my personal opinion is there as a benchmark for other fishing games.

UF2 beats it all with real population in the lakes and zone points not just on temp, time day, etc
