Based on https://steamcommunity.com/app/1368820/discussions/0/2850173019331679690/, the only differences are that you can set 1920x1080 resolution, a green First Aid station, and removed Atari logos.

For what it's worth my 21:9 display of 34" automatically came up with the full ultra-wide experience. There is a way I have read on Steam discussions where you can add or enter your display such as mine at 3440 x 1440 into a file where Steam stores some of your installation files.
Besides a supposedly full 1080p experience, the water effects seem to be much improved, many things can still look blocky a bit, and yes the same expansions in Platinum are in Complete Edition AFAIK. Still it is a fun experience again and I'm loving the 21:9 full ultra-wide experience with this game.
Comparison (limited experience for me) with Planet Coaster is that RCT3 it is a whole lot easier for most gamers to jump into, have success and enjoy versus the much higher learning curve and more time intensive commitment, seemingly, than Planet Coaster.
Once again I have spent way too many hours in RCT3, after a 5 year layoff, but this way I have the Steam Complete Edition running on my new computer, yay! For many or some of you, sure go ahead and play Platinum on your current computer and you'll be happy. Whatever floats your gaming experience boat. There are many things for me to master in this game, once again. But for this older gamer, I like it! I still play Borderlands also, tons of fun! Then on to BL2 and BL3! Good times!

Ii was joking about the 4k support but It wouldn't matter because I don't have a 4k
monitor but I was just wondering if there was a difference also I originally had a demo of rct platinum but then I didn't buy it but last year I found a collection of rct 1-3 but it was the standard edition but then Saturday I saw it was free on epic so I picked it up but since there isn't a community thing on epic I asked about the differences here so thanks for you're feedback:steamhappy:

They actually missed at least 1 Atari logo that I have found so far.

You can manually set 1080 res in the config file for Platinum, and it doesn't crash as often.

The whole purpose of the re-release is simply to make the game available again, this game was unpurchasable due to the legal dispute with ATARI.

I just noticed that Platinum can no longer be installed. All of us who bought it are just screwed. We didn't get free copies of complete when it was re-released. At least I got the free copy from Epic.

Platinum was published under Atari and The Complete Edition is published by Frontier Foundry. It was taken off of Steam due to a dispute regarding royalties. It is now soley under Frontier

Strange. I have the Platinum Edition and it installs and plays just fine for me.
