So the quality of n-space games in portables is really good no?

 

[Alrus]

Yeah, all three of their 3DS games look good.

What's the third one?

 

[Roi]

yes, YES! I will buy a 3DS just for this!

 

[Poyunch]

Oh the memories. The first game's theme always seemed so sinister.

 

[ismaboof]

RCTHD on Steam please

 

[The Xtortionist]

Oh the memories. The first game's theme always seemed so sinister.

Oh yes.

 

[Poyunch]

Oh yes.

Urban's where it's at. lol

edit: Oh man I forgot how awesome Wild West was.

 

[The Xtortionist]

Urban's where it's at. lol

I could never decide what song to use for my log flume, the Chocolate Log. Need something that's sinister to start out, but eventually lightens up.

I always ended up making my log flume rides jungle themed so Jungle Drums was my default flume tune.

 

[The Xtortionist]

Question: Never played RCT3. Did they add the ability to build steep drops for log flumes? Shit pisses me off in RCT1 and 2. Splash Boats all day I guess.

Like this?

 

[The Xtortionist]

Like this?

That'll do.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have to get to work on designing Chocolate Log 2: The Second Wave

 

[SpacePirate Ridley]

Oh the memories. The first game's theme always seemed so sinister.

It was awesome. The second one also was amazing:

So sad, and then it becomes happy but also sad at the same time. I love the 00:56 part.
I remember staying just in the title screen as a kid when I but the game until the song finished in both games.
EDIT: Fuck yes, piano version:

And how to forget:

the 11 themes from the carrousel music.

 

[D-Pad]

Oh NOW you guys openly acknowledge the goodness RCT's music. I was always alone when linking carousel songs in all of the "best game music" threads.

Humph.

 

[Piercedveil]

Man.. Now I want to buy RCT3 while I wait for this to come out

 

[satriales]

There are always reasons for port beggin which doesnt make it less annoying...

The series has always been on PC and it's been seven years since RCT3 was released. It's not unreasonable for some of us to be disappointed by the news of a new RCT game on 3DS instead of PC, especially when the thing that made RCT3 so good was the custom scenery.

 

[JohnnytheFuture]

I have a reason to buy a 3DS now.

I mean, as long as they follow a similar formula to RCT1/2.

 

[Soi-Fong]

Ahh the good ol days of playing Rollercoaster Tycoon. Played it almost constantly when I was like 12 or 13 yrs old. Loved these games so much. Grabbing the people and making them drown was awesome!!!

I might finally have a 3DS game to look forward to! The only game I still have is PES.

 

[D-Pad]

There is no reason to believe that this is the only game in the RollerCoaster Tycoon currently being developed.

Frontier's 2012 game isn't RCT, is it?

 

[D-Pad]

Frontier's 2012 game isn't RCT, is it?

No, but I meant from Atari.

 

[MarkusRJR]

Wait... these games are actually good? I got these games constantly in my cereal boxes as a kid and I always thought they looked kind of shitty. Time to go search the house!

 

[Unicorn]

Oh god if it's good I'm gonna waste so many hours on this. (Please be good!)

This. Was on the verge of re-installing the first one, but I can wait for this. Hopefully its less cartoony like 3 and more like 1 and 2, with people puking and drowning by my godly, coaster-creating, omnipotent claw.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Oh god yes, it has features of 3 like riding your ride?!

ALL OVER MY FACE

 

[Wazzim]

Haha, the claw was amazing. I was really epicly good in RCT2, I could get 999 points of customer satisfaction with every game I started. Making that enormous monorail track to finish your park gave such a good feeling.

 

[Boaty McBoatface]

3DS purchase SEMI confirmed. (After re-design mind)

 

[AdventureRacing]

Oh wow i think i'm almost looking forward to this more than any other 3DS game. Love the series and i think it could be pretty fun to see it in 3D.

 

[Mpl90]

Oh god yes, it has features of 3 like riding your ride?!

ALL OVER MY FACE

Taiki seems to say "I knew it from the beginning" or something like that :lol

 

[Cygnus X-1]

Two games at the same time for n-Space? This is unexpected.

 

[Luigiv]

Two games at the same time for n-Space? This is unexpected.

Huh? How? Sarcasm? They actually have 4 games in production at the moment.

 

[Munin]

If it only didn't look butt-ugly.

Well, this is not RCT4. If it comes thats coming to PC, we all know this. Is one of the best selling franchises of Atari, they are not throwing it to the bin.
We were all scared becuase we knew there were some problems with the RCT name (chris sawyer vs atari), and could mean RCT could dissapear forever. Now seeing that RCT is coming to 3DS with the same name, Im sure that RCT4 is on the works.

This. Was on the verge of re-installing the first one, but I can wait for this. Hopefully its less cartoony like 3 and more like 1 and 2, with people puking and drowning by my godly, coaster-creating, omnipotent claw.

The thing is, after the expansions and the custom scenery 3 became the less cartoony game of the saga. In the expansions they added all the realistic rides (lots of flat rides that had generic theming and better water rides, like finally a realistic rapids ride), the new generic counters that you could use to create realistic shops and restaurants (we could finally get rid of the cartoony giant food shops, that has always been in the saga), and the walls were you could put PC images (so you could create finally logos for example), and they also added realistic waterfalls and caves. Custom scenery even expanded this. If you look around the net, you can see incredible theme parks that look ultra realistic, recreations and own made. Apart from the peeps and that you cant still make rounded roads, RCT3 is less cartoony and more realistic.
Ah yes, and peeps in RCT2 couldnt handle wide roads (they got lost making that doing realistic theme parks that use more than a single tile path and populating them with peeps a kick in the ass), in RCT3 they can.

ROLLERCOASTER TYCOON 3D


Los Angeles, CA — September 7, 2011 Since its inception in 1999, Chris Sawyer’s original RollerCoaster Tycoon and its sequels have captivated audiences with a gaming experience that put a whole new spin on the world of theme parks. Now, 12 years later and over 11 million units sold, Atari, one of the world’s most recognised publishers and producers of interactive entertainment, is bringing RollerCoaster Tycoon back with a captivating 3D gameplay experience! Next year immerse yourself in the pinnacle of all theme park simulators with RollerCoaster Tycoon 3D, tailored exclusively for Nintendo 3DS™.

Developed by n-Space, RollerCoaster Tycoon 3D will be available in 2012. For more information, please log onto Official product website: http://rollercoastertycoon.com/ or find us on Facebook at Facebook.com/rollercoastertycoon.

Looks like a 3DS game, right~ ?

 

[Ushojax]

 

[Goldrusher]

 

[DSN2K]

looks great!

 

[Kerrby]

...wow lol. iPhone game?

 

[walking fiend]

3DS is all over the face of forum!
I will get this!

 

[Dedication Through Light]

I hope park size wont be limited nor about of objects to be placed. I could do without a narrative...

 

[Boss Doggie]

...wow lol. iPhone game?

No it isn't.

 

[Wubby]

Where in the world is Chris Sawyer any way? He did Locomotion then just up and disappeared. I'm guessing since they used his name in the press release that their differences have been settled.

I've been wanting an iPad version of RCT 1 or 2 since the iPad launched so hopefully this signals that the iPad version and a PC RCT 4 aren't far behind.

 

[Zzoram]

iPad version plz

 

[D-Pad]

Official Website has been updated with a teaser video (that shows nothing)

[The M.O.B]

They really couldn't put the score and date on the touchscreen instead?

:/

 

[D-Pad]

They really couldn't put the score and date on the touchscreen instead?

Not when there are other menus down there.

 

[OrangeGrayBlue]

They really couldn't put the score and date on the touchscreen instead?

:/

It could be a customizable option?



Anyway, I'm VERY pumped for this. RCT and Starcraft are the only PC games I ever played on a regular basis.

 

[xXJonoXx]

RCT is one of my favorite series ever, and I probably played 300+ hours of RCT2, trying to create perfect recreations of my local Six Flags parks, since it had the license. I was always bummed that they never got the DC license though, so none of the Batman + Superman rides were ever in the game. Adding custom scenery and items was great for that game though! RCT3 was cool too and is till very fun with the 3D riding of rides. I hope they take some cue from a pretty cool game I played once, even before RCT3 called No Limits Coaster. That game has some great customizable options and you could ride the rides as well in 1st person mode.

I might buy a 3DS for this, if it is exclusive. But add me to the group that wants this for Vita, iPad, or hell PSN.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Isn't that borderline port begging?

 

[Roi]

Just as energetic, ambitious and impatient as her male counterpart. Also aims to impress her Dad and the Advisor.

An energetic and ambitious character with a quick wit. While a bit impatient, he’s willing to learn what is necessary to move forward. More than anything else he wants to impress his Dad and the Advisor.

:/

 

[Dedication Through Light]

Oh what, were getting a storymode?
