General / Off-Topic Rollercoaster Tycoon Start Engine Campaign

Awesome parody, the script is full of sarcasm that really nails everything that is wrong with this company! Kudus for the actor convincingly playing a clueless sales dinosaur for a sinking company....wait, it was uploaded to the official RCT Youtube account? This is...you know....for real?! [squeeeeee]

I guess ATARI still isn't done ruining the RCT brand after RCT4:Mobile, RCTW and RCT:Touch...lets throw another quick crash grab into the pile! And it only costs you minimum $250!

I'll be amazed if they get enough people to fund this with their track record but nostalgia and brand loyalty does sell. Also who's the developer? Is this just a Touch port? Is Nvizzio still working on that? They went through 4 devs with RCTW, who the heck would still trust this company to make a competent game?

Dear Chris Sawyer, can you please stop renewing your license with ATARI and find a better publisher? Your game doesn't deserve this at all. ATARI is asking $10,000 from fans to pay for a console mobile game port that used to be a beloved multi-million dollar franchise...... As someone who grew up with RCT, this is just depressing to watch [ugh]

What the hell? They are not done being the laughing stock of the gaming community? Who on earth would ever think f backing this? It must be April 1 today?
 
They probably have been peeking here as there where some requests here lately for a Nintendo Switch port of Planet Coaster.
So they rushed themselves to be the first (and only) this time....


No, just no, it makes me sick, how obvious can it be. [ugh]
Why would you buy this for your Switch if it is already available for your smartphone. Same quality, same crap.

Look at the perks!

Perks*

- All investors: Atari Game Partners will host an Investors' site online, and you will have the option to have your name listed on that page;

- At least $750: Investor perk as outlined above, and a discount of 25% off the street price of the game at launch valid for a purchase of 1 unit of RollerCoaster Tycoon Nintendo Switch;

- At least $1,500: Both of the above Investor perks, and one free copy of the regular edition of the book “The Art of Atari”!

*All perks occur after the offering is completed

You still need to buy the game at 75% market value if you donate at least $ 750,00. Who would be that crazy?!

What a absolute joke, RCT is a dead series and you must be brain dead to consider investing money into this game.

As an investor, you don't put money on the project to get the game for free. You invest the money, which means you'll earn more money back from it (also described on the page). Getting the game for a lower price is only a bonus.

I agree, but one who would be investing $ 750 (!!) would expect something more than a 25% discount. (we do not know the retail price so it might be a lot, or not.)

There is an interesting bit of info on that crowdfunding page:
Irregular Use of Proceeds
We might incur Irregular Use of Proceeds that may include but are not limited to the following over $10,000: Vendor payments and salary made to one's self, a friend or relative; Any expense labeled "Administration Expenses" that is not strictly for administrative purposes; Any expense labeled "Travel and Entertainment"; Any expense that is for the purposes of inter-company debt or back payments.
Basically, they can use investments for inter-company debt or back payments...
 
ATARI + Crowdfunding = Nice try guys, but no one is taking the bait again, AtariBox, Anyone ? Anyone ? Bueller ? Bueller ? ;-)

Personal Thought - This should be merged w/ the RCTW thread seeing as it's still INFOGRAMS pretending to be ATARI and pulling the same all over again & again & again & again...
 
Unbelievable, I'm shocked at the gall of Atari; that video is rage inducing [haha]!!! They've raised $14.4k in investments already... Wow. The sad part is I wouldn't be surprised if the final game sells well! At least they've got a talented development team working on the game. Oh, wait, it's Nvizzio.....[cry][cry][cry][cry]

This thread is not about RollerCoaster Tycoon World. As such, this thread is fine as it is.
 
On that video there's a short section showing them designing a vendor stall with a teddy bear on top...anyone else think they recall seeing that same clip before...like for RCT2 years ago?

I recall that clip from one of the RCTW videos.
 
Todays advertisement strategy is crazy, We have Halloween starting in August, Christmas ads starting the day after Halloween, the valentine and vacation ads start Boxing day, and now ...

..April Fools in January. Whatever next!

(and I can totally see why this 'investment' would be limited time!)
