Planet Coaster OR Rollercoaster Tycoon World?

[Badgerized]

Dear RCT Fans,

So, I am torn between supporting a series (by name) and supporting a new(er) game that looks more finalized then RCTW..

Now, I know we haven't seen much if any gameplay footage since PAX.. on either game. but, nonetheless.. here are my pro's and con's for each game


Planet Coaster:
Pro's
New Game (fresh series)
Frontier (great developer)
Nice peep art?
Love the looks of it

Con's
New game (therefore untrusted)
Not quite sure how "free" it's going to be with letting us create our parks

___

Rollercoaster Tycoon:
Pro's
Trusted Name (Maybe, not trusted developers...switching hands to much)
Trusted Publisher (Atari <3)
OK Graphics (Thought the world looked lifeless)

Con's
Switched developing hands to much
Lifeless graphics



These are just "my" sole opinions but I just wanted to know what you all think regarding both of these games..

Personally, I'm psyched for both and will be pre-ordering both. as to what will come of either of them.. I personally haven't disliked a single RCT game (since 3D and Mobile).

What is YOUR opinion?

I played the originals from theme park to RCT III I think it was. RCT still is a good game in truth organising your theme park. Frontier Development can be trusted to produce a high standard and support it well as they have done with Elite and most of their other games.

I’ve not read too much in to either. I have RTW on my Steam list to keep track of it. Do both simulate a theme park? Or does Planet Coaster concentrate more on just Coaster designs? Older gamer just getting back when I get a new high end rig later so I wont be doing what I used to do a buy everything, it will be a pick out the two of the best one that fits me. I was hoping for a decent RTS but all the developers are letting the side down with total rank efforts like AOA and Grey Goo. I hope someone does a decent theme park game as they were good fun. Even multiplayer between parks would be good.

Both for me, as I really respect Frontier as David Brabham and Ian Bell deserve so much respect with Elite and RCT3, Just a bit more wary with RCTW but looking for to playing the Beta this weekend,

The thing is Stew is that gamers have changed over the last 10 years, and its all geared up to the mass market, I dont really play RTS but I can understand your concern to recent smaller releases.

Both, RTC is realeased on december 2015. PlanetCoaster delays until march-april 2016.

Ill stick with RCT.
Thrillville was just TERRIBLE.

Planet Coaster =/= Thrillville
As quoted on the Planet Coaster website:
"We’re giving you limitless freedom to build rides and scenery piece by piece, and to seamlessly blend them with your own hand-sculpted terrain"
It is practically RCT3 (Which they had a hand in develping) with graphics upgrade and better guest AI. Not just place 2 coasters and a few regular rides like in Thrillville.
Personally, I'm going with Planet Coaster. Looks so much better imo.

just RCT

RCT3 was developped by Frontier. Atari lost Frontier as a dev team, which is now making Planet Coaster. Guess what!

Personally I guess Planet Coaster will be the true successor to the genre. Some months ago I already guessed RCTW will not be out before 2016! Normally it takes a few months from a feature finished beta to a full game release and the first playtesting weekend didn't even look like full beta, but more like an alpha. That would mean at least 3 months until Atari can release a finished game in february 2016.

Pretty much the same dev team as RCT3. Not Thrillville. Mildly similar graphical style, but it is going to be a full blown sim just like RCT.

Well both Thrillville and Rollercoaster Tycoon 3 were developed by Frontier, Sure they will have learnt lessions from both game and build on them. Frontier have alot of experince in this genre of game so should be able to deliver the better game. Pretty sure Rollercoaster Tycoon World is Nvizzio first game of this type.

Still from what i have seen it looks okay, the Rollercoaster Building is a little annoying but most people have said after an hour or two you get use to the learning curve. Missed the beta myself so havn't had a chance to play it. Still side by side I would expect Plant Coaster to be the better game.

For this game, I could wait a year or more for it to be on the next winter's game sale at 80% off.

Frontier (great developer) Blahahahaha they did a awful job on RCT 3 to be honest. Filled the game with a bunch of crap like zoo stuff and their pool system was a joke. RCT 3 was the worst one our of the pc games. I'll stick with RCTW over Planet toaster any day.

RCT3 Plat is my favorite......(although the zoo part was kinda shallow).
