Interface Design Sneak Peaks

Designers and design studios. The feel they get when doing something and the public sees it.
Thats why the 90's was full of tacky imagery, and game hud in the 90's usually used a bunch of colors that screamed that era.
Is basically design history moving along, maybe a time comes were this type of clean design will be changed for something else. The thing is, right now, I would prefer a more clean look for the interface like city skylines and sim city 2013 had, than something super colorful and tacky like the bubbles from RCT3 or the squares from RCT1 and 2.
I also would prefer maybe a little more color than what Angleis has done in his mock ups, but not get too overboard with them.
I think it's important that the UI "fits in" with the artstyle that PC is going for. What that would look like, I'm not entirely sure, as we really haven't seen enough of the game just yet.
One thing that definitely needs to be addressed is organization, especially in the scenery menu! Once you start installing a lot of custom scenery in RCT3 the menu quickly got bloated and annoying to navigate. A way for players to maybe organize scenery to their discretion would be nice, as well as a simple search box.

But it should be the individual who decides what they like or don't like, and not someone else choosing styles for everyone.
You cant content everyone. This is what mostly people like now, so they will probably choose that. Im sure they have a few UI designers in he team, and its very possible they like this clean style that is used a lot now.
Or maybe dont, and we get something different.
But the sure thing is, whatever they choose, some group will like it a lot, while other will be meh, and other will dont like it.
To answer about the flat design. It's not a fashion for nothing.
The fashion started in the webdesign, for a very simple reasons : Faster design work, lighter website, faster display of pages = More $
After that, in the software industry, they were curious, so they made very serious researchs on consumers (done by Microsoft initially. Someone asked "who's the first ?") and then followed by others (like Apple for exemple, with IO7). By the way, the democratization of smartphones and tablets helped the flat fashion. (or vice versa [big grin])
If the flatdesign is interesting is that it makes interfaces more clear and clean. This increases readability (so it's easier to put the content in the front).
There is no arguing about matters of taste. And it's impossible to make something that everybody love (even if you try again and again, it's still impossible to have a 100%, the best is to try to get as close as possible)

Yep you right.

I love flat designs, they're so beautiful.
Flat designs are beautiful just like Minimalist posters!
Really? You can't accept the fact that we all have different likes and dislikes.
I don't think we will get a flat ui since it does not match the art style of the game.
Its pretty hard to judge what it will look like at this point, considering all we have to work with is basically from the promotional stuff: the logo, the background color use (blue), the text color (white), and some of the font choices. They may be hints to the UI, or at least the general style that they want to go for, but its all up in the air. But considering how nice the marketing stuff have been so far, I have no doubts the UI will look great.
That flyer was laying on the park sidewalk and a bunch of people stepped on it. And some guy spilled his coffee. ... and exploded. (c Galaxy Quest... [haha])
Sure.
I think it is obvious that the UI in the game wont appeal to everyone, its impossible, some people might find it too modern, some will find too non-modern, that's just how it works, with every game.
I think they will find something to match the art style of the game i hope it's not too sterile like rctw.
I really don't like the UI in that game, but a bunch of people say it's great. I don't know why, it's boooorrrring. [ugh]
