My, oh my...

No Grass? No snow? No glass pieces? No mini games? No sideshows? No slide & water-ride physics? No ATM machines? Only a couple of coaster types with special track pieces? No more multi-select tool?

I don't even know what to say. Highly disappointed. Just a few suggestions.

Yep, and no one from Frontier is even responding to anything - hope this will change after the launch. I am waiting for the game to be finished, before I am buying it.

This game was advertised of having switch tracks in every promotional video and trailer only to find out they only work on 2 coasters and they aren't even switch tracks they are like special elements that only work on closed circuit coasters.

No idea why there are no glass pieces either. Might have to do with the new ray tracing (darkness inside buildings) technology, and glass would maybe also make it dark inside?

You can see, the implementation of special track segments are still in an early state of development. You see also, that there is some kind of jiggering in the animations. I am sure, they will be work out this errors.

It should be only a programming problem, if implemented correctly. As example, you can script such a behaviour in NoLimits2, smoothly with a custom track and train. If you want.

Just imagine you implement such a system for all coaster types with all different combinations of train length and neccessary changes to the tracks and animations. It would be a nightmare. Especially now, short before releasing the game.

As a developer, you test a system in a small scale and make it work perfectly in all kind of directions before you transfer this system to a much higher scale of possibilities.

I think there is some kind of hope, if the system is not a dirty, last minute solution which can't be changed in any ways

I am sure these things and more will come with updates. Planet Coaster 1 also lacked many features and assets we take for granted today. Glass was not in the launch of Planet Coaster 1 either.

Going to be really unbearable if everyone is going to do nothing but complain incessantly in this whiny tone indefinitely until new things come in updates. Enjoy the game and look forward to what's in store in future updates. You'll have a happier time with that approach to life.

I read the original post and was thinking Geez we don’t even have basic features from RCT3 or PC1 let alone NEW features we hoped for. I mean no custom music or images? No control over park hours? Is that true? I mean it seems blasphemous to be honest. Not having animatronics out of the gate tells me they’re probably holding it behind a DLC pack. Maybe an actual Dark Rides DLC. The community had shown great interest in dark rides. As a business owner wouldn’t you want to capitalize on that? I understand for sure but the items and things omitted in a sequel seems very very weird. I’m just sayin’

I go into this with the idea like with PC1, its beta and we get to tinker and have fun.
The stuff we want will get added in and we alrady know some of the things are in future patches.

That being said, it will be really hard not to have glass.. its something I use alot in ie. PZ

I'm pretty sure there is glass based on what I have seen in Silvarett and Rudi Renkamel's videos. See through windows. That's glass right?

The one video of Rudi's I've seen about this shows him using water pieces. Apparently, they're for making custom fountains, but he used them as windows.
Here About 12 minutes in.

I see. Well in Silvarett's video of all the pieces there are several bits that look like glass windows with frames. Maybe I'm mistaken but it really looks like it.
