DLC for RCT2?

[Mass]

When compatability issues get fixed, why not make DLC for RCT 2? There are numerous user-created coasters, scenery, and scenarios out there (UCES anyone?) and this would be the perfect place to showcase them. Bring back stuff from RCT Mart, Amazing Earl's rides, and more UCES! This is what RCT needs! Though I wouldn't pay for them, as they're not really worth giving money for.
And what about workshop? While "official" DLC could be... well, "official", the workshop could just have whatever other users created.

Am I the only one who wants this? Would you pay for DLC like this?

They already did kinda do DLC, except at the time it was called expansion packs, remember? Infact they did 2. Time twisters and wacky worlds. The triple thrill pack (which is the one on steam) Has both of them. You know the scenarios that say like Mideval or China or stuff like that? Those are ones from the expansion pack. Along with other rides and scenery, the original RCT 2 didnt have those, and the expansion packs were sold sepratley, they later came out with the triple thrill pack that included both of them. That version was put on steam. They did the same concept with 1 and 3, but not with the 3DS version or the Mobile version.

I know they already have expansion packs, but I'd want to see something like a "Steam Update", with new scenery and scenarios from the community. Or, if they can have the UCES as an expansion pack.

Nah. That would put steam users at an advantage with no real way for disc users to get that.

True... But hey, at least it would give the Steam version more popularity.

UCES can be downloaded by 'disc' users (copy all files from the disc and edit your registery to play it without CD, so I'm not really a 'disc' user anymore). I'm not going to spend another €10 on a game I already bought twice (and I prefer RCT1), so I hope some people will download it then and put it up somewhere else :-P

Son, back in a time most likely before your generation and before the DLC cancer there existed places where people can download user-created content free of charge and use it however they want. These places were called RCT2 mod/fan sites.

I've downloaded user-created content from some of the fan sites, but they don't really make a huge impact to the game. There are things like (I'm mentioning them again) UCES that add quite a bit, and even have a storyline (which I think is weird, but whatever).

My point is, I wouldn't pay for small bits of scenery or rides; that would be in the Workshop. I'm talking about DLC that really adds a whole new variety of things to do (and would actually be worth paying for). RCT 2 is the perfect game for downloadable content.

Not that I don't like them; they're awesome. But they come in bits and pieces, and you'd have to download quite a few to make a significance.

Steam workshop support. The RCT series has always benefited from Custom Scenery and Custom Content from all three games. Personably I would not like to see DLC added to a rerelease of a game 12 years old. Just doesn't seem right....

Before DLC, there were expansion packs.

And ours is still open. It's also a fan site for RCT1 and RCT3. We've just upgraded the forums, the downloads system and reopened the Ride Exchange.

Come on by to http://rctspace.com

Though to be honest we don't have much custom scenery/objects. For that you should go to http://www.rct2objectlist.com/

And the community created unofficial RCT expansion pack can still be found at http://www.rct2uces.com/

That link is broken for me; I don't know about you!

[Mass]

It's broken for me too... Did they close the UCES site? I visited it not too long ago, it was still running...
