Rollercoaster Tycoon 4

I never really got into Roller Coaster 3, don't know if cause at the time I was using an ATi Radeon 9600 and it was running like crap but I really lived RCT2.
 
If it is in any way like RCT3 then I won't be buying it. Seriously all they need to do is a high resolution/fantasticly detailed 2d game with some new features and it will sell by the bucket loads.

3D based themepark games have NEVER worked.

Making it 2D only will only appeal to fans though, they would have to make it cheap and steam only, they wont shift huge volumes in 2d as any new players would be put off unfortunately. I agree though 2d is way better for this.

rubbish.

one of the most popular games on phones currently is a 2D game (Angry Birds). Mario had a new 2D game and sold like crazy. Developers and publishers are finally realising that just because you CAN do 3D doesn't mean that it is the best option. All the player actually wants is a game that looks good and plays well. A game can be 2D or 3D to meet both of those markers.

In my opinion RCT2 in 2D looked far better than RCT3 in 3D because everything was pre rendered.

As i said in this thread earlier and in the new one that popped up the other day. Some games are just better in 2D. RCT is undoubtedly one of them. Theme Park was the same. Commandos too. The list goes on.
 
RCT3 was a disappointment upon release for me, but i played it recently and it IS a grower. What annoys me though is when paths dont link up due to a 1mm step or something :(

I agree though, that the simple fun element was lost.

3D ruined a lot of classic game series like C&C and the various sims, there's something good about the old 2D style of graphics they used, really wish they would bring the style back again with all the improvements of HD AA and modern effects we have now.
 
Like the first, never played the 2nd and hated the 3rd.

It had a terrible UI. Made making builds a complete nightmare, compared to the Sims 2/3. They need to steal their UI! And don't get me started on laying paths!!

Also, scaenrios were too gimerick. Just wanted a nice flat-ish area to build a nice park in.

But does anyone really want to do this? Personally I'm more in to the efficent running of the park, if I can make cool roller coasters thats cool as long as they make me money!!

One of the only things I enjoyed about RCT3 was being able to ride the things :p
 
Looks like I'm the only guy who enjoyed 3 more than 2 :D

Been waiting on a new one for years, thought it'd never happen because I can't see it being a huge money maker.
 
Anyone remember the annoying looped ambient sounds in RCT 2? Like the kid that goes WOWWWW and some gobble gobble woman.
 
I'd love to see a new version, but isometric view as others have said. That Tomb Raider Guardians of Light game was isometric but looked really good.

I'd like to see remakes of Theme Hospital and Dungeon Keeper too!
