RCT World early access is releasing tomorrow. Will you try it out?
Or are you already playing the Planet Coaster alpha?
Which do you think will be better?
pro-tip:It's Planet Coaster
AlsoAtari (twitch /rollercoastertycoon) is having a livestream on twitch in 10 minutes. Come and laugh at this literal shitshow.
Link to twitch? I like the cringe

How is Parkitect?
Is it anywhere near as good as Planet Coaster?
>>332440490
twitch dot tv/rollercoastertycoon
Starts at 8:00PM GMT (so in 6 minutes).
>>332440632
Thanks anon
>>332440523
Parkitect is like if you literally copy paste the old RCT 1 and 2 games and reskin it with less comfy graphics.
Planet Coaster is pretty bare bones right now though, since it's in early alpha and there is no management yet.
If you want to play a Rollercoaster game right now, OpenRCT2 would be your best bet.
>>332440304
what's with this shilling?
>>332440973
>planet coaster thread
>hurr best coaster game ever
>rctw thread
>hurr what's with the shilling
You also might want to work on your reading comprehension.
Jesus what a fucking faggot on that stream
let's see if the game is less of a shitshow now.
>graphic settings
>enable
>disable
You've got to be fucking kidding me.
>those trees
jesus
So it still looks incedibly ugly.
It might look even worse than the beta.
let me guess, it has less features then RCT2
>that depressing ass concrete floor
baka
Why do they feel the need to oversimplify games like this? The user interface is not only ugly, yet it lacks in features that they could have added to make the game more complex.
Planet Coaster > RCT World
>guy gets a message from his boss he is streaming on low graphics
>can't change graphic settings during the game
Good job, fucktards.
>already over 200 steam reviews out of people from different timezones
>44% positive
>everyone says it's a broken piece of shit
I don't know what I expected from early access.
I don't know what I expected from a new game that I thought of buying.
>tfw it's another game that's unbelievably bad compared to it's predecessors
>>332442885
Hey retard, IT'S STILL A BETA
IT'S STILL IN DEVELOPMENT
>>332442871
Holy shit.
So he received a message telling him the graphics are on low or something, so he quits the game (can't change in game kek) and everything is on the highest settings possible.
Even the employees think the highest setting is ugly as fuck LMAO.
>>332443000
Oh just like all those other games that have been in BETA AND STILL IN DEVELOPMENT for 5 years?
It'll be just like Killing Floor 2 and all that other hyped up early access shit.
>still fuckhuge coasters because of the broken ass physics
dead on arrival
>MECKUH NIZZHIM
Who /planet coaster/ here?
I'll be the first to remake Mr.Bones wild ride.
Is this the first time he's playing the game?
Jesus christ, he can't even remove brakes from the coaster, which takes literally one click. Instead, he destroys half the coaster to remove the brakes.
>>332440523
It's great. It's RCT2 with updated rides and features. Coaster maker is great. is mod friendly and people have already been making a lot of mods for it. Art style is give or take, Personally I like it but whatever.
Devs are cool, don't regret supporting it. It's shaping up nicely so there really isn't anything that can go too wrong.
>>332442885
Those are from the beta weekend you memer.
>>332440304
>Atari is still alive somehow
>>332444140
Planet Coaster is garbage, shill. You're not fooling anyone.
I pirated the last alpha and I have zero hype for this game.
>>332444523
Found the Atari employee
>>332444881
Found the retard. RCT2 is still the only one worth playing, astonishingly.
did he just imply that there's no way to clean up vomit right now?
Can you get the Planet Coaster beta on steam yet? Not interested until you can.
>>332444140
>so unoriginal that he has to literally copy memes
I'm sure you'll get lots of upboats, but you're still an enormous faggot.
>>332445129
nope. i doubt they'll even use steam early access. they didn't for elite dangerous.
there's a link to the current alpha build in /vr/ct if you just want to try it out.
I'd rather wait til OpenRCT becomes more mod-able so we can have new types of coasters and easy-to-implement scenery while still being comfy pre-rendered graphics.
>>332445129
Even if it were on Steam, it's nowhere close to being worth playing yet.
>>332445012
No, he said he had no janitor currently, so he still had to hire them.
frontier devs emailed me a code for a small discount on the planet coaster early bird special or something. anyone want it? make a fake email or something and i'll shoot it over
>>332443119
this didn't happen right?
I really don't get this.
First, Atari showed a really fucking shitty trailer from studio A, and then they switched studios to Studio B. Studio B tries their absolute best, asks for feedback on their forum, actually listens to it, and shows a pretty interesting coaster builder.
Like a few months ago, people were cautiously looking forward to this game, as the developer genuinely seemed to care about the game.
So what the fuck changed between then and now?
>>332445646
It did, you'll be able to see it on youtube tomorrow or whenever they upload the stream.
>>332445742
turns out its impossible to fix a game in a few months
that and it actually has solid competition in the form of planet coaster which does everything RCT:W does, but better
Fuck now I just can't stop noticing that everyone walks around alone instead of in groups of friends or families. Fuck you Planet Coaster for making me aware of this in tycoon games.
>>332445742
You're forgetting Studio C, this is actually the third developer working on the game.
So what did I miss?
Is RCTW blunder of the year?
>>332446079
fun fact: everyone walks in groups in RCT3
course that's made by the planet coaster guys so its understandable
>>332445934
>turns out its impossible to fix a game in a few months
If you ever even saw the first fucking trailer you'd know that they scrapped fucking everything.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GQQW9ifBJlk
>>332446206
You people are seriously stupid fucks.
Do you seriously want everything to be a blunder just that you have something to laugh about? You fucks don't even like videogames.
>>332440304
>Early Access
>>332446206
its shaping up to be the next Simcity
>>332446206
That would be an understatement.
>>332446342
I just got off of work you fucking asshole, I wanted to know if RCTW looks any good. If you are getting paid by Atari then bare minimum don't be a fucking douche
wow this beta actually does play too much like a beta
>>332445742
i remember watching a stream with one of the devs when they released the beta.
it was obvious he was completely in love with the game, esp the coaster building.
only problem was he spent nearly the entire stream trying to stop the train cars from flying off his giant coaster with smooth banks.
someone then asked him to try and do a recreation of a compact irl hyper coaster and the only way he could make it work was making it gigantic.
he left continuing to insist how amazing the coaster builder was.
What a fucking flop. No shadows, queues didn't even have the signs that said the ride was open or closed. It's 2016 and we've lost simple features that where in RC2 in 2002. Cunts.
So Atari had a full hour to sell people on the game by showing some of the good stuff after all the skepticism.
And what did they do?
They put a guy on stream that seemingly never played the game before in his life, he only placed one flatride, he made a terrible coaster and couldn't handle the controls for making said coaster and then he build some random trees and a janitor station.
That took him a fucking hour?
Also graphics on highest settings that look worse than RCT3 that came out 12 years ago.
What a waste of time and I'm sure this will have turned the few people that might have wanted this game away for sure now.
>>332446669
How is this acceptable in the CURRENT YEAR?

nude mod when?
>>332446521
Dude, you do know it was supposed to come out last year right?
Its in development hell. Either its getting shipped out like this, or the game is getting canned
>>332447295
Has no modding support and is doubling down on RCT3's flaws.
>frontier's rollercoaster game isdecent????????
hail the braben, the bell, and the holy vision.
>>332447564
because we all know smart people take advice from africans right?
you get your $160,000,000 electronic transfer yet?
>>332447932
which flaws? specifically?
no modding support is a shame I'll admit
my friend has been hyped for rctw and planet coaster, after today he said he is trying to refund rctw
planet coaster looks pretty fucking good from what he showed me, especially the lighting and animations, but ill remain skeptical
>>332447932
which flaws?I know nothing about these games, I just wanna know more about the pros and cons of each game
So is the park building genre dead or what?
>>332448478
its actually getting a revival somewhat
>atari makes a really shitty "sequel" to a popular franchise
>gets shit on
>switches developers to have a hope of still making sales
>Frontier announces their simulator, completely blows RCTW out of the water
>RCTW nearing release
>shitty stream
>stream mods actually pointing people towards the "cancel preorder" option
loving every laugh
>>332448558
why didn't they try to get Frontier to make it?
sure RCT3 was no RCT2 but its still a very good game
>>332448713rct3>2
>>332447295
Planet Coaster is currently nothing more than some modelling software.
>>332448847
>>332448713
Because Frontier wanted to become fully independent and publish all of their games themselves.
>>332448937
didn't they also showcase the effect of various themes and buildings on guest happiness?
they did mention that placing shops right next to coasters themed the same as the coaster will make peeps happy and willing to spend a lot more cash
>>332449127
...well, I don't think anyone can blame a dev for not wanting to get involved with Atari
or breaking the publisher vicegrip on the industry for that matter
>>332448713
RCT3 didn't have the spirit of RCT2 but was still a very decent simulator. Atari was dumb for expecting they could get away with making a rehashed RCT3 without the publishers that literally made RCT3 pushing out the better product.
>>332448953
besides the nostalgia I dont see why people dislike 3 so much, my only real problem is the ai
>>332449165
NO!!
FUCK YOU!
Planet Coaster STINKS!
RCT is love, RCT is life
Ok so, RCTW didn't look that great, but I fucking hate Planet Coaster shills everywhere.
It's got personality and great promise but it's not a fucking game yet and already people are talking about how it's the greatest coaster game to've ever come out.
The building is fun and all, but jesus christ dudes, stop trying to be the cool kid and look at what's in front of you.
>>332449365
RCT3 wasn't shit but you can barely call it a sequel to the first 2 parts, which is what everyone was expecting.
>>332444429
The name persists but the actual company has died like 3 times.
>>332449353
honestly I think trying to have RCT3 do its own thing was the best choice back in the days
there's no real way to capture that feel of older games and trying to do just that sets you up for a failure
and getting to build your own water park was loads of fun given pretty much no other game had done it right before
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qGJ8Emrjbe8
This guy has the best Planet Coaster building series I've seen so far. He's also in my list for Cities Skylines and RCT builders. Does anyone know any good Zoo Tycoon 1 or 2 builders on youtube? I can't find any.
>>332449527
Why would anyone bother with RCTW, a game that's nearing release, when Planet Coaster already surpassed it on building terrain/paths/structures and visitor AI? Why settle for a shitty salvaged game when there's something being released later that's better in every point they've shown so far?
>>332449567
why does it matter if its a sequel? its a simulator game. It offered much more content and a 3d engine.
>>332449365
It's not bad, it just isn't as good in a lot of little ways. RCT 1/2 was a passion project made by a single dude who obsessively tweaked his game until it was practically perfect, while RCT3 was a designed-by-committee big-budget sequel, and the difference shows.
>>332449851
>order a hotdog
>get a (tasty) hamburger instead
>>332449746
>Zoo Tycoon
My nigga
>>332449850
That's not the point. I'm probably getting Planet Coaster over RCTW if it's ever getting released. The point is that people are so easy to jump the bandwagon and started hating on rctw before the stream even started.
Fuck man, I hate people.
>>332449165
that sounds gay. so my cowboy rides have to have cowboy shops and my astronaut rides need astronaut food stalls..... sounds really samey and plain
>>332449850
>nearing release
it's literally out tomorrow. there will be no engine overhauls or significant feature additions or improvements outside of DLC. it's just going to be bugfixes and content padding, MAYBE.
>>332449972
dunno, RCT3 also had a lot of attention to detail
to me it feels like the dev team behind it had passion, but the publishers did not
>>332449851
>It offered much more content
It added a bunch of tangentially related stuff like zoo animals and swimming pools and a bunch of stuff no one gave a shit about like fireworks and custom guests, but when it came to the actual theme park stuff it generally had less content than 2. The fact that it was harder to make custom content for didn't help.
>>332450092
Nobody seems to care about Zoo Tycoon any more. After that Xbone abomination I think it's really dead.
>>332450102
The stream already ended, it was terrible, read the entire thread.
>>332450113
to be completely fair the vast majority of theme parks with actual themes behind the park/sections do tend to theme their coasters, flat rides and shops
after all take the pirates of the Caribbean ride, it actually has a restaurant INSIDE the ride scenery and it really, really works, dining there is loads of fun.
>>332450142
>to me it feels like the dev team behind it had passion, but the publishers did not
Which is why Planet Coaster is looking good (RCT3 dev team) and RCTW is looking terrible (RCT3 publisher).
>>332450284
Ok, so were you there before the stream started then?
>>332450147
how did it have less theme park stuff (and while I might agree on the animals with you, a water park imho fits a theme park simulator like a glove, especially given the good number of slide coasters you could build and really how can a fireworks display NOT be considered a valid part of a theme park simulator?), it had all the management aspects available in 2 and pretty much all the rides and added quite a bit of original ones
>>332450281
I thought the Xbone Zoo Tycoon was pretty fun in short bursts, but mostly because it was comfy to walk around your Zoo.
For actual creativity and freedom etc it sucked ass.
>>332450352
but then you're just always placing the same shops at the same rides. i should be able to take a lunar orbiter ride and put a insect-themes coffe shop next to it and call it the Giant Space Ant Cafe without being penalized. not big on games that punish creativity, especially a game that completely hinges on designing stuff.
>>332450147
water parks are zoos were nice, but I was referring to the amount of roller coasters and flat rides in 3. Also the terrain editor was so much better than the grids of the earlier games.
as for the themes/scenery I thought 3 had plenty, there were like 10 different styles, each with tons of shit
>>332450281
And that abomination was made by Frontier.
>>332450352
But by already theming the flatrides, it means you have less freedom to theme the park however you want, since you'll always end up with the same theme / ride combo everytime.
Rides should have been more neutral with you creating theme / scenery yourself like Planet Coaster.
>>332448094
(You)
>>332450717
well the game is still in alpha, you could always give a suggestion to the devs to allow you to make say custom themes allowing you to get separate themes to give a bonus to eachother
which would be cool actually
>planet coaster
>Trusting frontier after what's happened to E:D
>>332451019
I'm not preordering the game, I never preorder anything ever (and I can't see how anyone could after god damn SPORE happened right before the preorder era) but at the moment the game itself is winning me over
if it releases in a decent state and its management aspects are good I can see myself buying it
>>332450967
come on we both know you work there, just pass it on for me
Since it was only 15 euros, I'll take the gamble.
>>332451267
wish I did, live in a backwater shithole without any game devs what so ever
>>332450147
>no one gave a shit about like fireworks
hey I did

god damn that was awesome
>>332451552
>no self-made custom fireworks
step it up senpai
>>332452050
never saw that one, sounds cool
>>332452228
I didnt even know you could make your own
>>332452332
the first scenario in the Soaked expansion, wait until night and the ships should start shooting at eachother
and yeh the fireworks were crazy complex, the lasers could even make complex imagery
>There are people who genuinely think RCT1/2 are better than 3
>Their only argument is "B-BUT MUH ATMOSPHERE!!!"
Loving every laugh.
