RCT 3 PC Atari's new CEO

I have optimism :)

They arent going to stop producing a number 1 selling 'Coster Tycoon' game. We will see a RCT4, i just dont know when :p
 
yeah right....

Even though there are still some minor problems with RCT 3, it is still very much playable. I have a Quad-SLI system and I don't have any slowdowns whatsoever.

To be fair, i hardly have any issues with the game. It works fine for me :)

I dont think we will see another game from them annonunced this year but early next year, keep a look out.

Cheers :cool:
 
Hi Rob...

At this point from my own vantage point, RCT3 once a great product with tremendous potential, is a dead product thanks to corporate management. Why support these greedy executives who could care a less about their fans and customers. There are many other things to do in life than supporting their pockets for this kind of treatment.

Sebar, you cannot just blame Atari, a lot of the blame needs to land at Frontiers front door as well.

DavidB and MBrookes knew there where issues with the game and for many months stayed silent.

Don't blame one without the other.

They where both GREEDY AND COULD NOT CARE LESS ABOUT THERE CUSTOMERS.

If that were true why did I spent my time daily on the forums trying to help people, not to mention the extended ours along with the rest of the team while actually working on the game and it's expansions. You're not happy with the game - fair enough, but don't try and make it personal.

I am not making anything personal, just telling it as it is, i can find the threads if you like where you said there was nothing wrong and people posted time and again with problems and always the standard reply was you are playing the game wrong.

I love this game, but your company was more than happy to take our money and not fix issues that should never have been broken or allowed in the game in the first place.

Heh, I honestly can't see why you complain so badly. Try being back in the RCT1 and RCT2 days. There was basically no support any where to be found. Greed has nothing to do with it as far as i can see. mbrookes over the past year or so on here and the Atari forums has broken his back just to continously help users; and you say that isn't support? As far as i can see, Atari and Frontier cares about RCT3... mainly Frontier since Atari isn't doing the best right now (imo).
 
Have to agree with you there BC :)

I dont have anything wrong with Frontier really, or even Atari. The guys here have done a great job support wise, especially Michael who out of his own time helps every one out!
 
I am allowed to have an opinion and thats fine if you don't like it.
The fact of the matter is that this game is flawed, should we talk about the sunscreen love in or would we prefer not to talk about that.

I find it very interesting that Sebar can say anything he likes about Atari and nobody jumps on his back, but say something about Frontier and its a different story.

I find it interesting too!

But let me add that where praise has been heaped I have heaped it too. I also have been hard on others like Chris Sawyer when he tried to defeat the trainers for RCT2. Many will remember it was I who was one of the first to comment harshly and than got literary friends at gaming magazines to comment as well by bringing the diabolical move to them.

When RCT3 came out with problems, I jumped on many's shoulders including David Braben, Frontier, Atari and even got on Ken's back a while too when he was an Atari exec. So I have been impartial to all. In fact I have been somewhat scathing on Ken for closing the CM forums recently, perhaps for good, just as I might be if David closed these forums, stranding RCT3 users which he has not done. So right now is Atari getting scathed? You bet, and I am just getting started too. Mainly my interests are Journalistic or literary hence the name of the "Sebar Literary Network" which attracts a great many literary people and readers as well.

But with RCT being a very very very long time hobby, I take the platform very seriously and I am vocal with anyone who hurts it.

Now I'll swing a bit to a reminder. When David's people screwed up and used the SDC Polyp as the first Spider type ride and named it Octopus, I was the only one to complain first about its lack of spinning passenger pods (buckets) and also the name as the only true Octopus was the one licensed out by Eyerly Aircraft Company as Eli Eyerly was the owner of the original Blueprints to this type of ride. Yes its true that Britain manufactured, through several historical ride companies, licensed versions of the original Octopus; but it was always called "Octopus" and should have remained so in the menu of ride names, and never mind Ken Allen, what you told me about trademarked names. You cannot trademark a group type of rides, but can register a trademark logo for a single product or company logo. The Octopus/Spider type rides is basically a catgory, thus you cannot trademark a category at least in the USA.

Did I take flames when I mentioned that the Jr. Merry-Go-Round spun so fast that it flung things onto the wall? Yes I was punished for that comment, but the RCT3 Jr. Merry-Go-Round does spin way to fast and I posted that and in my posting I flammed David Braben and Frontier mainly for this, not so much Atari, but Frontier; and I took my long list of shots in the Atari forums for this commenting.

I can site example after example of posts both positive and negative that covers many different people and company products, again both positive and negative. I also do something else few will ever do. I stand by every post no matter how tilted as you may feel it is Rosscoe or as Scathing or as Honest as it may appear to others.

David, Ken, Bruno and Chris plus many here like my old friend bctrainers and others within the community know this to be the case with my postings or writings online.

You know what Sebar i respect that and i also stand by what i said, as i said before if people don't like that is fine.

But MBrookes you where so quick to tell me that i made it personal, that when i posted about a bug that is STILL in the game you seemed to have gone quiet.

Why is this so?

Was it because i told you the truth?

I have no intentions of getting drawn into an argument with you, like all games RCT3 has its flaws. But overall I think we have put together an excellent game that is enjoyed by many people. You have your opinion and I don't disrespect that. However, I'm just not going to accept insults to people who have worked hard on the project on our own forums.

Michael
 
Hang on, for 2 years you told us there was nothing wrong with the game, now you are saying it has flaws.

You always posted on the Atari forums it was the way we where playing the game, when did that change?

Thats right you have made your money, stuff the public if they get a buggy game, we will just release a new one ( different format ) hope they buy that so we can make more.

But you where happy to insult the people who brought the game.

All I said was that the game wasn't perfect, and it is true that you can't play RCT3 in the same way as RCT2. And if working heart and soul on a project is insulting customers then there isn't really much I can say. As I've already said you're entitled to your opinion but I disagree with you.
