Love that game so much.

Why's that so many like RCT1 or 2 more?

Its a decent game, but its nowhere near as good and charming as the first two.

 

[Succinct Verbosity]

This is why Atari are going under, I suppose. Way to kill off your last big franchise.

 

[Xater]

..even more social features.

Ahahahaha, and some people were actually expecting this to be a real game.

 

[H3xum]

Not a single word in that description sounds appealing

Well, look at it this way, it only took a year or so for SimCity to drop their MP and social shenanigans, so holiday 2015 we might have the RCT we all want and deserve.

 

[Kouriozan]

Nice, can't wait for this PC .... "experience"

 

[Puppet Shadow]

Damn it, not like this.

 

[SpacePirate Ridley]

"even more social features"
Why? How is that even possible?

Rollercoaster Tycoon 4 everyone..

Mother of god, this is atrocious.

So this is the real death of the franchise.

See you at the other side, folks!

 

[Bricky]

Yep. very sole reason. RCT1&2 sold more and they want go back to this style because it's so popular and made for microtransaction city builder gaming.


I'm just pro pro 3D rendered.

Your statement is still ridiculous. Do you seriously think it would have changed ANYTHING if the mobile game was 3D? The fact a 2D game is probably cheaper to produce (thus, more money) doesn't mean a 3D game would've been released without microtransactions (and bad gamedesign to optimize revenue) everywhere. Not if 2014 Atari has anything to say about it anyway.

3D or 2D is a preference, but that has absolutely zero to do with this.

 

[cHinzo]

Damn it, not like this.

What I would do for a proper sequel of RCT 2. ;__;

 

[antitrop]

Oh god why did I have to see this. Chris Sawyer must be rolling in his grave right now.

Its a decent game, but its nowhere near as good and charming as the first two.

It's every bit as good, it is just that the focus is different. RCT 1 and 2 are primarily management sims and 3 is pretty much exclusively a theme park builder. The sheer amount of stuff you can do in RCT 3 is insane, especially with mods and all that, RCT 1/2 don't hold a candle to it.

Granted the graphics have aged worse due to their nature but at the time it was a pretty impressive looking game when you had your whole park decked out.

*Enters Thread*

EUROGAMER REPORTS ATARI ARE TURNING THE AMAZING 3D ROLLER COASTER TYCOON 3 INTO A MICROTRANSACTION WHORE FEST THATS 2D AND COSTS $400 FOR THE FULL GAME.

 

[Black-Box]

Soo EA must of fired the people behind Simcity and they moved to Roller Coaster Tycoon. Only logically reason why they would follow the same route after all the hate EA got.

 

[antitrop]

The PC version won't have microtransactions, but that's just some frosting on your cake made of shit.

 

[JetSetRadio]

I don't even know what to say.

Well, 3D is probably cost more to development, so they might rather go for a traditional retail title, with full price to get money back quickly. It could go for the different direction in a good way like e.g. Tropico 5, but it could be bad way like EA with SimCity 5.

 

[LumpOfCole]

I want to get off Mr Atari's Wild Ride.

 

[Cptkrush]

I want to get off Mr Atari's Wild Ride.

Fucking Atari...

 

[balladofwindfishes]

I wonder how much real money would it cost to build Mr Bones' Wild Ride in RCT4

 

[FrsDvl]

I hope it will be like habbo hotel, but with rollercoasters

 

[Daedardus]

I wonder how much real money would it cost to build Mr Bones' Wild Ride in RCT4

Well, the building time will be longer than the ride itself, so its price will be equal to buying out Atari.

 

[Missingno255]

What a goddamn travesty.

 

[vgamer1]

Oh god why did I have to see this. Chris Sawyer must be rolling in his grave right now.

He's totally alive.

 

[dwells]

He's totally alive.

Assuming the existence of this monstrosity hasn't killed him.

 

[Bizzquik]

Is there a ItsHappening Ron Paul gif where he's being shat upon over & over again?

I feel like there should be. And it would now be apropos.

 

[PapaJustify]

Sometimes I wonder what happened to video games. The problem is that even if it spits on everything good about gaming, it probably already earned the creators a bucket full of gold from all those casuals who don't care.

 

[-tetsuo-]

You forgot ICQ tho

Holy shit I forgot ICQ existed
