Same with me! I never buyed a game so early. But Now. It's fantastic!It's an entirely different league - RCTW is like Fast Food while Planet Coaster is Haute Cuisine.
Maybe the first time I'm really thinking of Pre-Ordering a game (I've never done it before) but Planet Coaster looks like the rollercoaster-sim game I've ever dreamed of.
classic strategic timing with the dev video release also [up]
Just look at that. Seriously. Look at it. The modular building system, the terrain editor, the UI.. the Coaster Creator, which has some spline editing too, those freakin' Vekoma coaster tracks with the detailed supports. I need to save some money to purchase the game... This is really going to be the long-awaited RollerCoaster Tycoon Sequel.
We were afraid of grids, coaster building, etc. but with this Dev Diary, our fears are gone. Cannot wait for more!

Best dev diary yet! (yes, i know there is only 2), we can actually see how the game will look and play!
AND IT LOOK AMAZING!!!!!!!!!
AND IT LOOK AMAZING!!!!!!!!!
Lol just throw in the towel atari. Just look at this.
The game is looking awesome. I was hoping for a more Sims 4 like building system but this will definitely do. The coaster editor also looks amazing. I'm very worried about the paths though. I did notice the whole style of the game was very Caribbean and Egyptian and i'm not sure i like that, Maybe it was just the pirate ships and palm trees. As of now i kinda like the RCTW look better. I am very happy with how the game looks, just a couple things im worried about.
I've paused at 2:20 because I can't focus on what's being said, I'm just so happy. That terrain editor looks gorgeous, the building method is perfect, that coaster designer is exactly what I wanted. Piece by piece with adjustable track, making a sweet mixture of piece by piece building and spline editor.
This is...this is perfect.
Frontier, will you marry me please?

Pausing millions of times. I am happy this have allowed the auto subtitling even if I am not understanding half what it says I get to get "feel" of it.
I paused often to just look at the details. The sketches of EVERYTHING, this has the name QUALITY all over of it. Everything is thought out of! Love! I am in particular love of how they sketched the terraforming, the slope sides... Nothing left to random. Sheer beauty.
I AM SOLD! SHUT UP GET MY MONEY!
Wait, I already bought preorder in fact. Well, now I do not have to worry that it was a mistake. The scale is tipping in favor for PC.
HYPERCOASTER OVERLOAD. I want to play now!

This video is absolutely amazing. The scenery builder looks exactly the way I would want it to look - perfect combination of free form and pieces snapping together on a grid. The coaster editor looks intuitive and advanced at the same time, even though we didn't see too much of it, it looks to be very well made. To be able to build shops the way you showcased here has been something people have wanted for a long time, and it's so cool to see it here. I can't wait to play around with it. I truly hope you let people make their own custom scenery sets to truly expand the realism and innovation for this game (the latest Q&A made it sound like you may not?).
Either way, I am 100% sold on this game at this point, I will ask my husband for the Early Bird pass for my birthday!

Im so glad I bought the coaster club head just the other day, there some cool details in the expanded video you can see here. But Im aslo glad becuase Frontier deserves that coaster head club money, and more.
Im so happy to see everything I thought was going to happen, here and then things I would have never thought of.
About what i thought was going to appear, and be happy if it did, the coaster crazy style of building, piece by piece but with splines at the same time, just expanded and with more control. And the the piece by piece building without collision detection, that you can regrid, copy and paste and do anything you want. The liberty is just amazing.
And then, not even in my wildest dreams, would have thought the terraforming tools going to be as amazing as they have shown.
This game is absolute perfection.

I get paid soon, and after that video, I'm happy to buy a coaster head club membership.
They showed us the "Pirate" (Adventure) Setting...if you look at the UI you can see different themes: Vanilla (Generic), Western, Pirates and Fantasy...and maybe there will be even more.
OMG. OMG. OMG. OMG .....................
It's just AMAZING guys !!!
The modular piece-by-piece building tool (Sims-Like), the terrain editor with voxels sculpting ([up]), the idea of "biomes", the coaster builder, the custom coaster stations, everything is AWESOME !!! (ok, maybe not everything, the path system is curved, which is great, but still dont allow, at first sight, to create large areas, and so paths dont look natural. and I have not seen "seated restaurants" too. And ... two or three details, but nothing that can not be fixed in the future)
But, seriously ... It's just soooooo cooooool !!!
You rox guys.
Iit's even harder to keep his critical sense after that.
And you are creating a real masterpiece.
110% guarantee !!! [up]

There´s not much to add to the other comments. My expectations for planet coaster were already pretty high,
but frontier managed to surpass them. I love the look of the game and all the features. Building coasters and
scenery looks amazing. It´s great to see how we can integrate rides and shops into the scenery! And I´m
excited to see custom stations. Hated RCTWs prebuild stuff... Now I have to rewatch the video. Will definitely
preorder early bird next week! [up][up][up]
