The code team looked at a lot of the gameplay-code and all the things we're doing on the gameplay-side and optimised all that stuff. So the audio team looked at different codex and plugins to find different ways to optimise what they were doing with their audio for the dinosaurs and the park, changing the way their emitters work. Going across the game, we sliced it horizontally, as it were, and asked every department to look at their parts of the game and optimise it for the Nintendo Switch hardware. So for me, it was making sure that the dinosaurs still had that 'wow' moment, that sense of awe that you get from the other versions of the game and the film. So I wanted to make sure that the dinosaurs are still the stars of the show they are the thing that you look at and go 'wow, this looks amazing'. My objective was to make sure that the parity between this version and the versions you see graphically was as high and as close as possible. What were the challenges of bringing the game to the Switch from a technical perspective? It's a new way to play with the Nintendo Switch you can take it out with you - we used to commute to work but now we don't do that, but now you go sit in a park and play on your Switch instead.īut for me, it was about bringing it to a new audience and a new way to experience the game as well it's completely different, for me anyway, it's an experience different from sitting at my PC or on the couch, having that portable aspect.

RN: For me, it was bringing the entire Jurassic World Evolution collection, as it were, the base game, all of the updates that we've done, every single piece of DLC we've released, to players and to that community, in one package, in a Complete Edition - hence the name! And also bringing it to a new audience and a new platform they're a big community of players that predominantly play on the Nintendo Switch alone, and for me, it's getting the quality of the game that we're doing to a whole new audience. GR: What's the thing that you're most excited about in terms of people getting their hands on the game on Switch? With Frontier bringing the dino park builder to Switch, we caught up with the game's director Rich Newbold and, during our chat over Zoom, we were able to ask him about all aspects of the game and what players can expect from the port. Top of the studio's to-do list is to finish the process of porting Jurassic World Evolution to the Nintendo Switch, with the studio planning on bringing a Complete Edition of the game to the portable platform, allowing all you dino-park builders to take a definitive version of the game with you on the go. Announced during Gamescom, Frontier Developments continues to spread its wings and bring its games to an increasingly diverse range of platforms.
