Planet Coaster

Yeah, it wouldnt be so bad if it was full priced early access, but this double-price access is annoying. I dont care if its because they want to imply that its steep so only true die-hard rollercoaster enthusiasts will buy it, because fanaticism & money to throw away done go hand in hand. I could be rich and board and get it, or a huge fan and skint and be locked out.

At least if we could play it in alpha state for 12 months, looking at what they've got, it wouldnt be so bad, but double-price entry and a wait is painful.
Still, they'll be tons of youtube videos and twitch streams, not quite the same but im not paying £50 for a game they're selling for £20. I just might get that version though, before it goes up, which it inevitably will do and the page implies too ("Pre-order now to join us for a discounted price!"), which is what Elite Dangerous did.

I miss the days of Russian keys etc being viable :(
 
This looks incredible!

Not paying £50 for it though, just for a few months early access. If it got me in now, I might though.
 
Not that im saying this to change your mind, i wont be paying £50 either, but the early access begins at some point this month, and while i cant recall hearing when they're aiming for full release, i doubt it'll be within the next 12 months.
That said, its a full game they're letting us preorder for £20, and selling 'early access' & full game for £50, so £30 to play it a year earlier is pretty much what we're talking about. As mentioned, the 'we only want real fans' doesnt wash with me, how much money you can put into a project doesnt determine the quality of the opinion you'd give, it doesnt keep out people who arent really really big coaster fans, to ensure the feedback is on-point etc.

Cos im stupid and forgot last week, theres going to be another live stream on YouTube at 7pm on Wednesday, talking more about rides.

As tempting as it is, I plowed so many hours into RCT1+2 I'm not sure I can justify £50. I made the mistake with E:D earlier and that was a mistake.
 
Same. I think if the game was say £30 and +EA was £40, perhaps i'd be able to justify it. Yeah, i could wait for a sale and get it for less, but then thats another 3-6mo further away. However £30 is reasonable, and £40 gets it me today etc.

However at £20, i cant argue with that price (im certain it'll be ~£30 on release), and when the +EA is £50, its a gulf in prices.

It seems like most people will be priced out of it, and yet youtubers & twitch streamers are going to love this, because the price locked out most people who'd want to buy it, and so content providers are going to be our next best thing for a year or so, they're likely to see it as a decent purchase, even for small channels.
 
The livestream is in 20min if anyones interested, talking more about the actual rides this time, it should be available to watch within about 30-60min after also (if theres no replies on this thread, i'll just edit it into the post later)

I have an early bird pass. I can't wait to get carving and sculpting. I could spend countless days and weeks, months and years, creating a park and rides :)

The level of detail in this game is out of this world compared to what we've had before.

I hope it will be Rift/Vive compatible. The ride cams in VR would be incredible.

I was very tempted by an early bird, but for me it's £10-£15 more than I am willing to spend at the moment.

Don't forget to post some screenies here for us!
 
22nd of this month for early access.

Wish it was a little lower, I'd be more tempted. Might get it if videos make it looks more exciting. Totally depends on the initial content.
 
They proved with Elite that these guys have little respect for their customers. Pricing confirms this.

Nice product, but a no from me.
 
That's enough to put me off the Alpha, I'll wait.

I want it, but I want to wait for the final game. I don't want to get bored of it before it finalises.
