00:30We really wanted to keep Zoo Tycoon fans happy, so you've got all your simulation code in the background, all
00:35the important decisions you make for your zoo, those are all still there.
00:39What we get across is both a realistic zoo simulation, but also captures the magic of going to the zoo.
00:49The Xbox One has given us a vast amount of freedom to explore what we can do with particularly the
00:55animals. The animals are the stars of the show.
00:58We're actually able to push the boundaries to make things look better than we've been able to do in the
01:02past.
01:03We've made the animals as realistic as possible, so we've spent hours studying footage and studying how animals move, how
01:10they behave, how they interact with each other, how they interact with the environment.
01:14We've got a really lively zoo. There are birds, there are butterflies, there's flocks of everything flying around. There's an
01:19awful lot of movement. We've got wind blowing through the trees.
01:21In short, it looks like a real zoo.
01:24We've got a great animation system called Motion Graph, which allows us to do all sorts of lifelike animations on
01:31the animals and have an amazing number of animals in the zoo at once.
01:35And the Xbox One is powerful enough that we can do that.
01:38The realism that both the modellers and the animators have brought to the animals and their behaviour, it totally brings
01:43you in, because you're believing in those animals in a way that you haven't before.
01:50We use the Xbox One's power to drive the rendering of the skin and the fur.
01:55We're doing short fur, long fur, shaggy fur. It gets wet, it moves, and it really shines like it never
02:01has before.
02:04With Zoo Tycoon, we allow players to re-grab the zoo and make it their own.
02:09This Zoo Tycoon probably gives you more options and choice than you've ever had before, and so many different ways
02:15of experiencing that.
02:15So we've got 101 different animals. We've got six biomes full of decorations which you can unlock and buy.
02:23And amongst that, we've not only got the big exhibits with the large animals like hippos and rhinos, we've got
02:28mini exhibits so you can get meerkats, lemurs, macaws, snakes.
02:32There are so many different things that you can experience and unlock, and it's a very deep game.
02:37There are literally millions of possibilities in terms of how you use those things together.
02:44We've obviously developed for a console control pad, but we also use the power of Kinect on Xbox One to
02:49be able to use intuitive gestures to interact with the animals.
02:53Get up and close and personal with, say, chimpanzees, and the Kinect will pick up your facial gestures.
02:59You can get right up close to the animals, you can feed them, you can hose them down.
03:04All the interactions, they're my favorite bits, because you get really close.
03:07The elephant washing is brilliant, he reacts to where you're spraying him.
03:10You can use Kinect to get close to the animals that you ever could before.
03:16The Xbox One platform has allowed us to build in multiplayer, to build in all sorts of variety.
03:21One person can be placing down attractions, another person can be adding an animal, another person can be feeding an
03:27elephant.
03:27You can go in, four friends, and you can just have fun.
03:31You can basically share your zoo with other people. You can create a zoo collaboratively with your friends, and you
03:36can save it under the cloud.
03:38Not just share and look at other people's zoos, but to actually create a zoo together.
03:44So graphically, all these elements, the wind through the trees, the birds, the myriad of guests, the fur, the hide,
03:50all combine together graphically to give the level of fidelity and immersion that you've just never seen before in any
03:56zoo tycoon.
03:57And the fact that you can play with all these animals in such a way, using Kinect HD and Xbox
04:02One's features,
04:03is incredibly fresh, incredibly unique.
04:06It's an amazing opportunity to release zoo tycoon on a new platform.
04:11I don't think you'll see an experience out there like this one.
