same here! i was really excited for RCTW, but when i saw how many people talked about planetcoaster, i decided i was going to watch some video's about it. i wasn't convinced yet because i really loved the RCT series, so i waited for the rctw early acces release. played it 12 minutes, asked a refund and bought planet coaster. one of the best trades ive done in my life. since than i've made a couple of video's and made some buildings in game, and i hope to grow better with building as i personally don't think i'm that super good at it(although some people say otherwise, i still want to keep pushing myself and keep challenging myself in making better and more detailed buildings)

 

[Shinysun]

I saw some of your buildings its looking realy nice indeed.

I wanted to post some of mines but for some reason my screenshots turn up to be black [woah]

If someone could tell me a solution to not geth black screenshots please tell me, i haf a Nvidia GTX 970 graphic card and i use the screenshot button on my keyboard.

Take your screenshots in windowed mode only,. In fullscreen mode you get Black screens at the moment.

I learn about Planet Coaster on E3 last year and I got familiar with RCTW with its critism from the community from day 1. Because, people was really upset of the trailer Atari showed up at E3. It looked equal or worse than RCT3 at that state. Kind of still do.. Anyways I have never had the intention of buying RCTW. I happily and patiently waited to see if the Planet Coaster trailer's promises will become true. [heart]

And that was kind of a half years wait until December when the first diary came, with the first presentation of game mechanics.

Its not the name that caught my attention, it was the developer, as an Elite Dangerous customer, I hadnt realised that Frontier had made the Coaster Tycoon games in the past so it seemed an unusual new direction to take!

 

[TheLighterDark]

The early trailers were spectacularly well-done though it made me skeptical because there was no gameplay or hints of gameplay. I thought the cartoonish feel they were aiming for would result in oversimplified gameplay, but I was totally wrong.

As soon as I saw the modular building in action and the coaster building from Dev Diary #3, I was sold and haven't looked back since.

 

[LeglessBloke]

I immediately thought it was a better name than Coaster Park Tycoon!

 

[CMD_Woodchip]

First thing I saw on it was Nerd³ playing it and I thought it looked good, but kinda skipped over it because of the high alpha price (NZ$105!!) and it being so early in Alpha.

Then I saw Flabaliki play it (I followed him for Software Inc videos) and thought it looked really really good. Slowly it dawned on me that it just made sense to take the plunge.

 

[NetworkNerd]

Was sold after watching the first video from Silvarret. I actually pirated the alpha for a few days to see if it would be worth the high alpha price. I ended up losing that first park, I fell like the pirated version tanks performance on purpose after a certain point as my new park is doing much better and is approaching the same number of objects. Was worth the money, looking forward to at least a couple years of fun from the game!

Yes! Same here, although I do not have ED (still on the fence) I had known that Frontier were developing a new coaster sim from the days of "Coaster Crazy" on iOS. So, I would keep checking in to their news updates, until I saw the first trailer. Then consider me hooked (fanboy) [blah] I had the other game (TOG) on pre-order too, and I pre-ordered PC as soon at became available. But, as soon as the first developer diary hit, I changed my pre-order to early alpha... (best decision I made) after the beta weekend of TOG I cancelled the pre-order (second best decision I made) and spent the steam credits on Factorio instead! (third best decision I made).

 

[Scotley]

I was sold when I first saw the teaser trailer, way back when early access was off in the distant future. It had character by the bucket loads. As it is, I think the game has tons of personality, atmosphere and fun even with the limited content. My mind boggles at how good the future is looking for it!

I came across this game I think last month when I watched one of my YouTube subscriptions he's name is Keralis (may be spelt wrong). When I watched this video, I knew I just had to get my hands on this game.
I only have a few games on PC. They include The Sims 4, Cities Skylines, and now this game. I primarily game on Xbox 360 and Xbox One.
I love the whole ideas of this game and I think Frontier is a great game developer. They also make exclusive games for Xbox like Screamride and Zoo Tycoon 2013 edition game.
The game has amazing graphics, the peps look really good too and peps variety so far in the Alpha is good enough to keep me happy. You can create rides and like your own fun world which could relate to "Planet". The Alpha version so far only has some coasters. When the full game comes out, it will have more. I like the overhead rollercoaster and others too. The security guard is funny.
I live in New Zealand and it's always been like NZ$2 = UK$1. I got the UK$49 pound game with early access alpha which cost me NZ$108 after ANZ charged currency conversion fee. Ok it was a tad expensive but I'm happy with the investment. I have a sleek white HP laptop with i5 but early this week I ordered a PC with killer hardware to play my games in 1080p High settings with butter smooth frame rate. Here's the specs of my new system. I ordered it from a very special New Zealand retailer 1stwave technologies. Basically you tell them what you want in your PC and they can do. They don't charge for labour too. I should get the system next week. Here is the specs I ordered with it:
- 6th Gen Intel Core i7 6700k (4 cores, 8 threads, 4Ghz base speed, turbo boost to 4.2Ghz, 8MB cache. Intel's site specifies this CPU as the flagship processor).
- Kingston Fury HyperX 240GB SDD with Windows 10 Home 64bit OS on it with enough room for some games.
- 1TB Seagate 7200RPM HDD
- 16GB DDR4-2400Mhz Kingston X Hyper performance RAM
- Sapphire Nitro AMD Radeon R9 390 8GB GDDR5 GPU (384GB/s bandwidth)
- Wi-Fi ac/Bluetooth
- Installed in Crossair 300r windowed case.
The system cost me NZ$2,398+NZ$124 for the SSD. And will have an 18 month warranty though some parts like the SSD have 3 year warranty. The SDD has a life expectancy of 1 million hours! Now when you compare that price range with what all major NZ retailers are selling, this company is the best NZ retailer to deal with. The companies motto is like "create the custom gaming PC of your dreams". I'm not confident and knowledgeable enough to make my PC from scratch with pickapart. It's the FIRST desktop PC I've brought.
I have to spend the next 2 months spending budgeting my money to recuperate the cost of the system since I used some of my savings money to invest in the system, but the hardcore hardware will bring out the full flavour of my games and I think it's a good investment with powerful CPU/GPU RAM and SSD. It beats putting up with 1-15fps and not perfect graphics from my laptop.

I said it once before.

It was Gulpee or more or less the humor of the first trailer what made want to buy it.
The approach of Frontier felt right from the start.
- We thought about it (Man walking around thinking)
- We know the fans want it (child with balloon which gets angry)
- We know were we come from (well known tile dropping down)
- We know were we want to go to (man runing through the park)
- We know people are impatient (man overrun by people)
- We might have problems but we will get it done (Gulpee picking up)

And than this song. The end "... cause no matter what you will never be alone."

By that time i was skeptical if the game could live up to the promisses. But i ordered the early bird vey early.

Even several of my Xbox and real life friends have expressed interest in this game. Frontier definitely seems to have the same interests as me. I like The Sims 4, Screamride, and Zoo Tycoon for Xbox. I think they also made Kinectanimals for Xbox 360 too. The ideas that they put in their games will spark high interests with me and lots of young and older peps out there today. I'm sure from my posts you'd can tell I'm also into Minecraft as you make tonnes of friends on it (especially on Xbox) and it lets you be creative. I am into creative games. It's a reason why this week I invested in a desktop PC because I love this game so much that no young person should have to put up with playing this game on your average laptop which may look cute and mobile but a gaming rig would be able to bring out the full flavour of this game. I've seen YouTube videos on peps playing the game, and those videos have like thousands of views.

 

[Riddou]

was waiting since a long time for rctw.
watched videos of it on youtube when it was finally released just to be totally disappointed.
still made it to the comment section on steam.
read everywhere "buy planet coaster instead".
back to youtube.
found silvarett's videos.
bought planet coaster!

Every summer, I go to Rainbows End in Auckland New Zealand. They have a lot of fun rides. Over new years, I also went to Sydney Australia's Lunar Park which has good rides too. Rainbows End's motto is like "fun on demand". They have this ride called the stratosphere which is like one of the rides the Alpha version of this game already has. It looks scary if you watch it, but if you ride it, it's great fun. I believe the slogan or motto in Planet Coaster "simulation evolved" is very fitting. Players get to create their own world/park. It's a game which looks creative, with great building choices, and thus it earns popularity and enjoyment.

Exactly like that. Amazing trailer and well thought of.

I was sold when I first saw the trailer back in September 2015.

I'm a huge fan ever since then. And I'm a fan of Gulpee Rex! [happy]

I watch E3 live every year and this was my first introduction to PC.
It still gets me excited to this very day.

Planet coaster is a decent name, roller coaster tycoon world does not look half as good to be fair, and not sure why they didnt call it roller coaster trycoon 4, would have been more appealing. Also planet coaster is turning out to be alot nicer game than I imagined, just hope they somehow fix the CPU lagging issue.

 

[Coasterbuff]

RCT4 is already a mobile phone version of the Tycoon games, but it is pretty naff. That is why Atari went with RCTW.
But as we all know, Planet Coaster is the next generation Theme Park Game that will be the future success of this genre.
