In Planet Coaster 1 and Planet Zoo you can click on a security camera and see the 'POV' of it, and cycle through all of the cameras in your park with a next arrow, and it was a really charming little feature and fun way to see your park. It's so wonderful all of the updates you're bringing and it's really shaping up the game, but I'd be lying if I said it wasn't a bummer that the cameras have returned without this feature. Perhaps, since it looks like the on-ride photos will have a POV, this can be added back in?
Please pretty please consider letting us see through the security cameras again...

I am sorry to pick you out in special: But this is the attitude that makes us suffer all along. I dont want any stuff for the sake it was in PC1. PC2 should be it's own game, since January i am saying the game lacks direction or vision, but at the same time many parts of the community are crying for stuff that was in pc1 and pz. This kills any creativity from frontier.
So instead saying you want ATMs, tell why you want them, what is the system you want? Cause right now ATMs are not needed as guests are not limited by money and they dont leave the park when money runs out, it is more a system where they try every ride + time based. This is a better system compared to the old, cause the old system caused that guests only could afford 1-3 rides before they went broke, the atms were just prolonging it since there was a hard cap on usage, which made sense at the time.
Why not call for a rework of the pricing system? ATMs could be a part of it or not
Why not call for a bigger security update instead specific for security cameras?
I want the Security Cams to be viewable because I like seeing the park from that viewpoint. I've spent 30 years in security in my younger years, and video surveillance is 100 times more prevalent today AND is a huge part of ANY amusement/theme park. ATM's are a ubiquitous part of life and part of the realism of a park. I don't want things "Just because they were in Planet Coaster 1". How are you "suffering" because I voice my opinion of what I would like to see in the game?
I hope you understand, that i picked your comment as it was just an example of how this hinders actual development:
Let's just brainstorm for a moment: Security: most of the system is basically 30 years old, a system that was invented for RCT1 with little improvements: it is fallen out of time and if we want it back, we are not giving the space for a new stuff, instead the guards, we could now have security rooms using the ride camera technology to stream all the cam feeds on a few monitors and the guards act on that for example.
The same with ATMs, those are fallen out of time, many parks today are even cashless. I didnt look specific for atms in my last visits, but i think most parks in europe dont even have them anymore.
All in All: yes, we should get the security systems back, but we should part ways with the thought: it worked in PC1, so it has to work in pc2, this is limiting the gamedesign.

i mean he isnt wrong in saying that the atms would have no function at all in planco 2. like already explained, there is no money on the guests, they have unlimited amounts
but i agree that the cam feature would be somehow cool indeed, simply because i loved to observe my park trough them. ive often used them also along the tracks so i could watch people on the dark rides, you know like saftey surveilence cams.
I'm all for new ideas and gameplay, bring it on! Also, I just want to say I am REALLY very happy with the developers listening to player feed back. They've been phenomenal for what they've done so far. They deserve their well-earned break and I look forward to see some amazing DLC coming soon. We need to also keep in mind that although what they do (I assume) is a labor of love, it's still a business. A business that exists to profit. The fact that they have been so responsive makes it easy for me to want to spend more money buying future addons and DLC. Unfortunately, I've never been to any parks in Europe and unfortunately never will. I appreciate your (and others) opinion. I still want POV from the cameras. I don't care if it works the same as PC1, hopefully better like most other things in PC2. ATMs are not the hill I am willing to die on. Give us something else then, that IS part of modern parks like single rider lines, or whatever.
