Island Sizes

[Alp]

from what we've seen from the gameplay at the LA event isla Matanceros is very small. Will we be able to get all 40 species on the island? Ive seen people say Matanceros is small because its the tutorial island. If Matanceros is that small, imagine Pena, the tiniest island on the tour. Hope Nublar is as big as the maps from JP:OG.

It may seem small, but I feel everyone dramatizes a bit. There's enough room for at least 10 enclosures just like the first one, which can easily contain at least a dozen dinosaurs without it feeling cramped.
I'm fairly sure the camera and the buildings are what makes it seem small. The viewing gallery, compared to the viewing vent in Operation Genesis, is enormous, for example.
Isla Pena is smaller, but there might be less mountain and thanks to that, nearly as much buildable surface on it.

I think the view the camera gives makes the parks look quite small but they might actually much larger than they appear. Though still not "huge" by any means, you should be able to fit a sizeable number of enclosures and other things on there. In some videos you can see the camera pull, giving what appears to be an overall view of the terrain but...

I also heard, but dont remember where so don't quote me on it lol, that some areas might only be accessible via monorail. So there might be parts you cant get to right off the bat locked behind mountains?

I just hate that fact that they seem to limit where we can build. From the videos, it looks like we can't build andywhere near the beach because of an invisible wall. Matanceros looks like it could be a lot bigger, but an invisible wall blocks you from building there.

People seem to forget that it wasn't the final release they played. Thus island sizes could be larger.

I wouldn't count on that. The mountains on the island were clearly the limit, so unless they redo the whole island (or have redone the whole island just for that dev build), it's unlikely to change.

Well, it wouldn't be difficult for a dev team to cut out a portion of the island using the mountains.

well , the first island its like medium size, the last one, its like gigantic
