Unsure about that, it seems more like the bright popout style that every P2W nightmare uses.

I guess it kind of helps that the originals were already kind of going for that style, and it's just brigher, cleaner and higher resolution here.

edit: but that animation, what. how is it choppier than RCT1 and 2

"coming to ipod, iphone, and ipad". That's cool. It's not like Android exists and has the largest market share or anything.

Everyone who ever loved this franchise please feel free to voice your opinions on their Facebook page. Your feedback is welcome.

Almost every single comment on that picture is completely negative.
Maybe they'll get it.
But I doubt it.

 

[Beant]

I am so angry about this. Its truly unreasonable. Unfathomable.

Take out the last word of this YouTube video and this is me

It's Atari, they're not known for their great financial decisions.

 

[AlexMeloche]

To think we were recreating Six Flags parks on RCT2 more than 10 years ago, to end up with this shit. Just looking at the rollercoasters from the trailer make me want to barf.

And they really named it RCT4Mobile? Ugh.

 

[Sciz]

We'll always have RCT2.

 

[Doctor_Thomas]

Oh boy, I wish mobile gaming would just fucking die.

Honestly, the visuals and base gameplay looks decent. It's just the IAP stuff that I'm really worried about.

Also, no Android version for some reason.

Thank God this game exists...

Credit where it's due, I wouldn't have expected this fractured shell of a company to have the cojones to pull that.

I only bring this out in the most warranted of situations.

You stupid fucking cunts.

Indeed. I'm holding off on that until it gets to phase 2 or 3.

Wow I didn't even know this existed. Definitely going to look into picking this up.

I love RCT 1 and 2, 3 was a let down. Hopefully Sawyer is back. Really pumped

It's an iOS game that appears to have microtransactions.

 

[Merino]

Favorite game series of all-time ruined by the godawful mobile-era.

My hopes for a true PC sequel had been low for a while but it stil hurts to see it become a reality.

 

[ryan299]

Where are you seeing that?

 

[Berordn]

Where are you seeing that?

The game is called Roller Coaster Tycoon 4 Mobile and only lists iOS devices as platforms.

 

[sonto340]

Where are you seeing that?

The top bar has a money counter, and a ticket counter, with Plus signs next to them that look like buttons.

I'm assuming you press the plus to bring up the "Pay To Win Now" screen.

 

[Liseda]

Eh, I don't think I want a RCT sequel anymore Atari.
It's cool, you can keep it.

 

[Tuck]

I NEVER ASKED FOR THIS =(

Spoiler

Also, did not know Atari still existed

 

[chadskin]

And here's the first screenshot, it's the nightmare you expected

I do like the look but ... $="§)$!")§($%/&"/%&&=!"§ MICROTRANSACTIONS AAAAAH

 

[Josh7289]

Yep. Oh well.

 

[JordanKZ]

I hate being right.

 

[Einbroch]

#RCT4M, Roller Coaster Tycoon for Mobile.

Mmmm yes.

Oh shit, I was trolling. I didn't think it would be real.

 

[Fat Goron]

... like tears in rain.

 

[ryan299]

So bad.

[Gigarator]

At this point I'd just settle for somebody fixing RCT3's performance issues. There's no way we're getting a proper sequel any time soon.

 

[hosannainexcelsis]

XP? Why does Rollercoaster Tycoon need XP? And that's aside from the likely IAPs. The mobile game space today is so frustrating.

 

[Alaskanbullworm]

They finally go back to an art style that I like and they do this to it

Fuck you Atari

There's that.

 

[Kouriozan]

No, no, they can't call it RCT 4, it's a major downgrade from 3 :'(

 

[LumpOfCole]

I would totally play a RCT game on a tablet, unless it had IAP.

 

[JustinBB7]

Sigh..

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

Mobile? GTFO

 

[xxbrothawizxx63]

It looks horrible. Why don't the loops have proper supports and why are they perfectly circular? An abomination.

 

[GeoGonzo]

Damn... I actually like -good- mobile games but this is going to be so bad.

This thread is hilarious. Did everyone forget to balance their expectations for this? The days of the original roller coaster tycoons are over, but that doesn't preclude the possibility that this could be a fun time waster. One mediocre trailer that doesn't even show how systems are implemented is an interesting method for judging anything by.

Why is this worth defending?

 

[InaudibleWhispa]

Fuck this. The thread title got me so excited.

I'm not defending this game believe it or not. Is it unfair to say that a game could be a fun time waster, rather than saying it has no right to exist? I agree that the chances of it being anything worthwhile are not good, but why be narrow minded for the sake of being narrow minded?

 

[ryan299]

They should of just ported RCT to ipad. I wouldn't even care if there was IAP for more coasters and rides but they ruined the franchise with this game

Probably because mobile gaming has to prove itself as something other than an alternate method of turning people into gambling addicts. Until then, reception is going to be cynical as hell.

I don't think anybody has a problem that this game exists, just that a PC sequel doesn't. You could make the greatest Half-Life 3 mobile game in the world, but it would still be incredibly bitter news if that's all Valve gave us.
