On both Atari's official facebook page and the official Rollercoaster Tycoon page, a tease was posted today with the hashtag #‎RCT4M‬ with this link: http://giphy.com/gifs/puW4H9o7TuzXa

Its a looping image of a rollercoaster that someone on reddit posted a year ago.

Guess the M means its a mobile game. The bigger question is, why is there still an Atari? I would love for another Rollercoaster Tycoon game but the company exists in limbo. What resources do they have to make anything?

The theme park game must have spooked them out.

EDIT: If it's mobile then that means PC space was already won

 

[Daffy Duck]

Please don't be mobile.

What theme park game?

 

[Zalman]

Is it really happening this time?

 

[TheRealTalker]

I use to love this series

maybe Atari is selling off the I.P

what is left of Atari

 

[Silky]

Atari still exists?

 

[Baron_Calamity]

Please don't be mobile.



What theme park game?

Theme park studio. Its an early access game and its very broken at this point. I hope it turns into something great but its got a lot of work to go.

 

[daman824]

incoming 24 hour ride build time.

 

[chadskin]

YES PLEASE. (That is, if it's a true RCT4)

I still play RCT2 from time to time. After the Witcher 3 delay, this is exactly what I needed.

 

[Lord of Castamere]

Pc and Next Gen 60$ title.

If it's mobile I won't buy, but I will shed a tear for the fallen.

 

[Mrbob]

incoming 24 hour ride build time.

Yup, expecting something awful.

 

[okayfrog]

No Chris Sawyer = no buy

Though, I never did play RCT3, so who knows, maybe that's good.

 

[Prologue]

Use to love these games when I was a kid. Good times

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

Consoles pls. I played the crap out of 1 and 2 when younger. I like that style better, the newest one seems too much.

 

[grandjedi6]

Wasn't Atari suppose to have sold this IP by now? Did no one bite? lol

 

[Quirah]

I don't think Atari still has that power to make games to consoles & PC's.
Mobile-only game incoming.

 

[Matriox]

If its anything like the atrocity of the 3DS RCT then its a no buy..

 

[chadskin]

No Chris Sawyer = no buy

Though, I never did play RCT3, so who knows, maybe that's good.

I believe he was involved with the Transport Tycoon iPad version.
Hopefully he's really getting back into game development and is on board for RCT4.

 

[KojiKnight]

In this thread, I learned that another company has taken on the mantle of Atari... The poor fools.

 

[AllIsOneIsNone]

Make it Oculus compatible and I'll be there.

Chris Sawyer: iPad version of Rollercoaster Tycoon has 'crossed my mind'

That was in August 2013. Maybe it's finally coming together. PLEEEEEASE.

Exactly what I was about to post. I thought they went down completely?

Please not iPad though. Please god no I want decent controls ;;

 

[Succinct Verbosity]

This wil be Sim City all over again.

 

[Zeknurn]

Just let Chris Sawyer have his IP back so that he can make a proper sequel. The studio that he worked with for the mobile remake of TTD did a good job and I'm sure they would do good with RCT.

Since Atari fucked him over RCT3 I find it impossible that he's involved in this.

 

[MaximoffZero]

Exactly what I was about to post. I thought they went down completely?

Jaguar 2 confirmed

 

[Tempy]

Zombie Atari resurrects zombie franchise

 

[btkadams]

Please not iPad though. Please god no I want decent controls ;;

would iPad really be that bad? it seems like rts games would play quite well on an iPad as long as they don't require quick actions.

 

[Terbinator]

Isometric and i'm in.

 

[dampflokfreund]

Please be next gen and PC game, no mobile shit. I will cry so hard if its mobile, its basically my childhood

 

[cafemomo]

I thought Atari filed for bankruptcy for like the 7th time last year

 

[Brazil]

It's probably going to be some terrible, butchered mobile game.

Appropriate as it will probably be a facebook game.

 

[Takao]

In this thread, I learned that another company has taken on the mantle of Atari... The poor fools.

I'm pretty sure it's still Infogrames in disguise.

 

[JustinBB7]

PC/Steam release please. Not interested in f2p money grabbing Tablet/Phone shit.

I liked all normal games so far. One of my childhood game series. Even 3 was really fun. I'd love a nice looking 4.

Edit: aw fuck didn't notice the M... please not mobile

 

[KojiKnight]

I'm pretty sure it's still Infogrames in disguise.

Wow that's even more surprising to me! I thought there was nothing left of them.

 

[Tempy]

My Atari t-shirt weeps.

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

Pleasedon'tbemobilepleasedon'tbemobile.

 

[Baron_Calamity]

I'm pretty sure it's still Infogrames in disguise.

Looking up, it appears only Atari US was liquidated and several properties were transferred to Infogrames for some unknown reason.

 

[Xater]

It's probably ging to to be F2P garbage.

I would take a port of RCT2 for the iPad though.

 

[DonfatherBrooks]

I love the series. I hope someone does a sequel to theme hospital as well. So many memories.

 

[Xater]

Theme Hospital is owned by EA. If you ever see one again it will be in the vein of the terrible F2P Dungeon Keeper.

 

[whitehawk]

I would be happy if they just ported rct2 to tablets, mobile or even the vita.

 

[SneakyStephan]

Ugh, mobile
since I couldn't find the 'cat looking away in disgust' gif this 'll do

I think I just threw up a little.

 

[twobear]

Touch interface for RCT, implemented sensibly, would be fine. XCOM's is.

 

[chadskin]

#RCT4M could mean RCT for Mobile instead of RCT4 Mobile (or whatever the M could stand for).
And if Chris Sawyer is involved, it's probably a RCT2 port in the same vein as Transport Tycoon, as he said it's the best RCT.

In the financial state Atari is in, a completely new RCT would probably make no sense anyway.

 

[biggersmaller]

A straight RC2 port would be a better mobile fit. RC3 was buggy and unwieldy even on PC.

 

[Shadow2222]

I'll be so sad if it is mobile. I suppose it is better than nothing though (unless it is F2P, in which case I would have rather it never been made).

 

[UltraGunner]

Didn't Atari go under like twice already?
