[RollerCoasterTycoonFan]

Well as you all know, RCT 3D came out recently but it's absolute rubbish so don't waste your money, but more than that, does any of u think about a rollercoaster tycoon 5, a new upto date more recent RCT for pc as RCT 3 came out nearly 9 years ago now, someone from frontier please reply to this as this is a big thing for me, or anybody lets try and get a discussion goin about the future of the RCT series?

It seems to me, that on a practical level, the "future of RCT" has been left to the custom scenery and ride builders...

I think that the game designers might want to take a closer look at RCT-3 for a start, things can be learned there...

Take the "coaster designer" function.. it's unnecessary... a player can simply make a scenario of their own for it, same with the "building designer".

How about the lights that flash when placed too close together and other funky effects like some lights cancelling each other out?

Did the programmers never follow through to see this happen?

There are lights that don't blink made by custom scenery designers, in the future I would suggest testing things thoroughly, a bunch of blinking lights is never acceptable except during Christmas, lol.

(Hey, you might even hire a few of the better custom scenery makers and see what they know...)

Genuinely diagonal pathway would have been nice or would be nice for a future game.

Oh, and a way to turn off those annoying messages...and the little audio "bleep" alert... people do play video games to have FUN... not to be "pestered"... it might be a part of the real life job, but if it becomes too tedious and gets in the way of fun, get rid of it!

Something I think everyone missed...

A set of very basic building blocks, very small ones that can be stacked into other forms.. walls, roofs, furniture, signs, the possibilities are almost endless for even something so simple, look how much mileage folks get out of "Minecraft", lol.

Peeps that don't look like cartoon characters or not so "cartoonish"would be a plus. Remember, many people are after realism, it does no good to build a scene like Rembrandt only to have some Fred Flintstone looking lout walking through it. They don't have to be perfect, just more detailed and frankly not so "stylized"... I think you are trying too hard there...

(Also, things like pink hair and tattoos might be trendy at the moment, but will "date" the game and some might find that sort of thing... not offensive, but "tacky"... don't knock yourself out trying to be "hip".)

Oh... and unless I am mistaken there is no "popcorn" stall in RCT-3.

Another thing they somehow overlooked in 3 was a nice flat roof in the glass walls set, the only thing we had was the one from the hydroponic set and that got pretty samey...

Something you might keep in mind... instead of loading the game down with a specific "type" of scenery like "spooky" which seems like it would be seldomly used, first cover some of the more universal pieces, let the custom scenery folks fill in the blanks as far as all the different themes.

I'm not saying don't have any themed pieces, just realize that by spreading yourself so thin trying to cover every possible theme, you are neglecting basic pieces that are 100 times more useful.

Where "marketing" might fail, "common sense" can go a long way.

And I realize it is an Atari game, but we can all learn from the example of RCT-3.

Thx

I'd love to see another RCT, but as I said in in another thread, I would not hold my breath. One, there just doesn't seem to be enough interest. And two, games like this work best on the PC. and these days it's all about the consoles. PC gamers are usually an afterthought. So even if we got RCT 4 (I don't count that 3d thing) it will never have the customization the originals had on the PC. but hey, it would be better than not having a new RCT.

Regarding RCT3. I liked the game. But to me, RCT 1 & 2 will always be the pinnacle of the series. Yeah they had their issues and the graphics are dated by today's standards. But I spent hundreds of hours playing those games. It's hard to believe it's been nearly 15 years since the original RCT came out.

it is very sad that after 8 years frontier and atari dont do the next rct..... we hope that afet elite, froniter star to develop one..... because atari hasnt got money..... maybe roller coaster tycoon's fans arent importan....

 

[RollerCoasterTycoonFan]

Atari have the money, they are just stupid cos they don't take on board what they're fans want, an frontier cannot make a roller coaster tycoon 4 without the permission of Chris Sawyer as it is his game, an obviously with the graphics back in 1999 an 2004 the graphics of course are going to be well dated, these days the engines that made those games have either been shut down or had a complete make over to make the graphics the next best thing, I'm just annoyed Chris isn't giving frontier permission for RCT 4 but after the lawsuits with Atari I doubt he will be giving permission to make another one, but if he isn't making games what is he doin all day, sitting on his backside, I tried emailing his agent but I never got a reply from them so I dunno? But it is what it is an if there isn't a RCT 4 we just have to live with what we got, an 3 games based on the same thing just better each time is enough for me, I always will play RCT as its one of the best tycoon games I've played, an it's been a great journey!

i want to think that eraly we have a surpise! we are waiting for 8 years! please forniter o atari make another please........... i am starting to think that rct's fans are rubisch for this companies

Atari is bankrupt, therefore, according to them, will sell all licenses of their games, in which it must be RCT. If Atari sell all licenses, you can that Frontier purchase the license and we have a RCT4. Chris Sawyer permissions do not concern me, already that if permission to do Rollercoaster Tycoon for Nintendo 3DS also may give the permission of a RCT4. If Frontier are ready, they will buy the RCT license.

Greetings!

frontier don say anything...

frontier don say anything...

Et parlo en català perquè ens entendrem millor. Frontier no a dit ninguna cosa perquè segurament Atari no habrá venut la licencia de RCT, pero si Frontier són llestos, que jo dic que si, comprarán la licencia, perque la saga RCT es una saga que a portat molts de diners, molts fans i es una saga que no pot morir d'aquesta manera. Jo vull que Frontier la compri perque veient els ultimas jocs que han fet per no dir tots els que te Frontier són bosn, amb bons gráfics i molt detallats, desde el RCT3, fins al Thrillivvle i inclos Kinect Disneyland Adventures, són jocs super currats. No sé, ja veurem el que passará, jo el que se es que Atari te que vendre totes les licencies dels seus jocs, si no la del RCT no la compra Frontier, doncs sería una pena, pero ja la comprara una altra empresa, es donaran d'osties per comprarla, veient l'exit que a tingut a les entregues anteriors.

Com bé et dic, no se el que passará, ojala la compri Friontier, però no se el que farán.

Creuem els dits. :smilie:
