Now that looks interesting!

The Rollercoaster Tycoon series seems to have gone the same way as the Stronghold games. Original 2 games were absolute classics, then original team leave and the developer rinses the audience for cash.

It's all changing with crowd-funding. Exciting times!
 
Yeah, thats what a new rollercoaster tycoon game should look like!

For anyone interested in a HD remastered version of the originals, the game Parkitect looks like it'll be exactly that, which is great, but im looking forward to that Planet Coaster more now ive seen it. Hopefully images like this are an honest representation of what the game will look like and allow.

Its a silly thing, but the way the paths look, is a big thing to me, real theme parks arent created using square tiles. The visuals should be equal to the simulation, creativity, and fun, and having Tetris-like parks just feels wrong.
 
wow i was super giddy when i saw the new tycoon game but now ive seen planet coaster woop woop,

i think im going to put my name and cash down for early bird beta!


cant wait!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Really I think any game trying to do the roller-coaster/theme-park thing needs only to look at Cities:Skylines and all the things that it did right, and just do that but for theme parks. Especially stuff like how their road building works where you have almost completely free reign to build curves in the road exactly how you want them - I was so impressed at the complexity in the intersections you could create (actually the "behind the scenes" RCTW video does show some track and walkway editing that looks very much like this, so that's a good sign)...
 
Honestly at this point I would just love 1+2 but touched up, runs native in HD etc. Graphics spruced up a bit but still the old style.

Would be happy to be wrong about this game, but it seems like a disaster with all the development changes and Atari behind it.

This guy. He speaks the truth.

It seems like they have the same kind of thing for building track aswell. Shown at around 1:10 onwards in the video.

If you missed it, it's worth watching the updated video to see how much improvement there has been in RCTW.

 
Currently there's nothing on Planet Coaster other than the trailer and a few assets / animations. I can't realistically get hyped by that alone.

At the very least, RCTW is a working game and the new engine looks pretty good. How much content the game will release with is probably my biggest concern right now, but I'll no doubt still play it to satiate the thirst whatever reception it gets.

Well at least it isn't EA, if it was then I'd be more worried. Although can't vouch for Atari's track record with regards to DLC.
 
RCT World is looking much better now, I quite look forward to the way coaster design works now. Seeing as its not just set pieces anymore.

Planet Coaster just looks like how things should have been done from the start. A game being passed to its 3rd development studio is beyond a joke. I'm sure it has quite a lot to do with the massive negative feedback that came from the Area 52 trailers.
