RollerCoaster Tycoon World Gameplay Reveal
- Thread starter Slowdive
- Start date
The transition made the game look worse by comparison. Terrible decision.

Never played Rollercoaster Tycoon for the graphics, so it's pretty surprising that this is the only thing people seem to care about. As long as the core gameplay soul of the original games is intact I'll be playing this for sure.

outdated graphics but as long as the gameplay is good it's all good for me

I was commenting on the crappy graphic quality. They look like something a phone would be able to handle...not a modern PC.

Oh man too bad, they totally got me with the first scene, and then the switch 
Im pretty sure RCT 3 looks better than that.

The guy puking at the end must have just got done seeing the gameplay footage.
This is one of the most trolling videos i've seen this year. If the game looked like the first 13 secs i'd be happy.

It does. This looks worse in every conceivable way. Thankfully Frontier (RCT3) are working on their own spiritual sequel, Coaster Park Tycoon.

People might want to check out parkitect, which has simplistic art-style and strives to look similar to the original rollercoaster tycoons: http://devlog.themeparkitect.com/
Holy crap, this looks terrible.
Luckily Frontier (who made RCT3) is making a new Coaster Tycoon game.

This is probably the first time I've ever seen a pre-release graphical downgrade happen literally in the same video.
No. Not at all. The mobile game is a completely different game.

What is even happening with the flickering pathway inside of the mountain part there? This doesn't look as anything i'd even remotely dare to show in a trailer.
I don't really care for top-notch graphics in my tycoon games, but this DOES look worse than RCT3, In all the wrong ways even (terrain detail, path textures etc.). I'd gladly take a new RCT with RCT3 graphics (and better performance) but this just looks appaling at least.
As a RCT fan since childhood i can only root for Frontier now
I was going to post this.
I still play the first RCT and it is still fun.
I hope this new one is as fun as the first and second titles.
I want to believe.

It's a port from a shitty mobile game with horrible gameplay mechanics, not a chance.

The transition is hilarious, like they thought it was going to be seamless or something, I wish this was being made by people who could do the series justice.
I'm going to sound like a huge dork here, but part of what made the original RCT so cool was that the coaster tracks looked real. I could tell which manufacturer and style each of the coaster types were emulating. I loved that. These coasters just look cartoony and generic. The trailer isn't helping either by switching from badass POV footage of Goliath at Six Flags Magic Mountain to a crappy RCTW coaster.
I am sad.
EDIT: To clarify, I don't care about graphic quality, but the generic coaster designs are disappointing.

Well that's good then. I seem to recall the initial word being that it was going to be a mobile port.
So there's some hope that the rest of the game will receive the care and polish that the visuals clearly didn't.

I don't really like the 3D focus of RTC now. Gimme a 2D RTC any day of the week.
Is it a port? I thought it was a new game, made from scratch.
Well, at least we still have RCT 1 and 2.
I will probably still try this new one but only after I buy it on sale.
haha yep. First few seconds, I was thinking "what are these gaffers talking ab--- ewwww."

It's been a long time, been a long time, been a long lonely lonely lonely lonely lonely time.
It certainly doesn't look any better than RCT3, an 11 year old game.
I loved RCT1-3 and am really disappointed with the direction they've taken the series. Theme Park Studio and Parkitect look much more promising.

More like damage control when they realised the original cut looked terrible...
Ye gods... and a PC title to boot. Do they want it to run on the office 486 or something?

Just release Rollercoaster Tycoon 3 without the technical problems. The mod support alone is why that game is still great (despite the naysayers).
