General / Off-Topic Rollercoaster Tycoon Start Engine Campaign
- Thread starter Sawyer1
- Start date
The Guys defending Atari are few and far between. Some even consider RCTW worthy of being ported instead of Touch. I would say NO to both, but that is just me. Also, my guess is, that a majority of the Backers is Atari themselves, just to make it seem the project is alive and well, and hoping to sucker in some serious investors.
The whole investor thing is a blatant scam. The clause they put in clearly states they can do with that money pretty much what they want "travel and entertainment" much? Also paying off debts ( i doubt that 10.000$ would be enough to do that lol)
Anybody who donates (because you won't see anything at all in return) is a greedy idiot too lazy to read the fineprint or do some research on the companies history. They are not trustworthy.
The saddest part is, when this game hits the Switch, there might be just enough sad souls suckered in. Because of clueless parents, or of desperation for that genre. The Problem is, that you won't have any option of Refund. Not to my knowledge anyway. So if you bought this Bomb, and are unhappy with it, that Money will be gone.
Edit:
i just took a look and yep, bottom line is: Nintendo says "tough luck" if the game is garbage.

Yes, the entire reason of releasing to Switch is to lure in clueless people. Steam people are usually more invested in reviews and reading up on games. But the clueless people buying game to their kids, that's where Atari is aiming at, but that "multi billion dollar" company is out of money to do that move so they had to crowdfund. Gotta catch the last few gullible people.
When you take a look at the Page: https://www.startengine.com/atari-game-partners
it is pretty telling that People are pretty fed up with Atari now. And i don't know if Nintendo has some sort of Quality standard in place for their Console. This is the last Hope i have with this, that if the Game is utter Garbage they will be denied to put it on the Switch. But i somehow doubt that.
The more I read into this the more disgusted I honestly get about the whole thing. If you read into detail on the whole thing it just gets more down right scummy as you read. They really have become a company of bad people. Trying to do con good people out of good money. I can't believe they made their goal. I hope they see no success, I hope this company closes its doors. They are dragging a great IP through the ground and trying to con people out of money left and right. Close the company.
You know they're going to eventually claim they didn't reach the full funding levels necessary and just pocket that money. These people are scam artists.
just play RCT Classic or download RCT parks in Planet Coaster here http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1166030341 [up]
freaking atari lol... just when you thought they were done burying the RCT name *sigh*

I know back in NES/SNES time it was super hard to publish game because of the many criterias to meet for quality and content. Hopefully it is still so now, so hopefully they really have to put out something playable. Ok of course we will never play it and it will never be good for us, but at least playable for kids...
Unless switch has something that is like digital download like the games you can download to Wii? (I know, I am out of loop my last console was Wii) and the quality check is a little relaxed there.. But also smaller audience.

Atari, what an insult to believe we are THAT stupid. Like no one noticed their recent years lmao. They even got RCTW (the game that DESTROYED their beloved franchise) removed from Steam because it was such a garbage game.
We're in the digital era now Atari, the information about their bad games is accesible to everyone. We can read. I sincerely hope this project will fail, and I will do everything I can to help in that. I don't know the guy in the beginning, but I already hate him. Atari clearly does NOT know what it's doing.
I like that the video has like only 90 upvotes . It means people are not pleased.

You may well be right Joel...
Two things:
First of all: Back in the NES/Snes Aera, there were a LOT of crappy Games. Whole Channels on Youtube have them as their Foundation to point out HOW much they suck. So Quality Control was a hit and miss even back then. When i look at the Lineup for Switch today, there is a looot of Shovelware - quick Buck Games on there as well.
Second: "Good enough for Kids" is something i never liked. If i as an Adult don't like a Game because it is quickly produced to cash in, i don't want to give it to a Kid as well. Because they deserve the same Level of Quality as we. Games for Kids shouldn't be lazy Games like you find on a Tablet, or the 3DS, like the millionth dress up Game or other horrible attempts at entertainment.
Having said that, i hope against hope that this time they really try. But i think i'm getting laughed at hoping this [haha]
Well, they're up to $28k! I'm genuinely curious to see how well the final product is received on the switch. I just looked up reviews for RCT:Touch on the google marketplace and saw that it was rated 4.3 out of 5. That doesn't surprise me much; a lot of mobile games are the digital equivalent of a tog turd riddled with maggots (the maggots representative of the many micro-transactions!) I'm more curious to see if a game like that cuts it for the console market!
Edit: On a related note, a lot of the investments on StartEngine are for completely awful ideas, it's like a sketchy Dragons Den [haha]

ive grown tired of the whole RCT dilemma. If the games own creator doesnt care enough about the integrity of the game to keep it away from these heathens. Then why should I care? At this point its purely an issue for me of ethics. But im learning more and more this "Atari" doesnt seem very ethical. Im so glad we have Planet Coaster. Clearly they have something "legal" its a shame that most people wont take the time to see they are getting conned. Rather just watch the video and bid money.
Other games that were free on mobile have made their way to switch. One of which had a 39.99 price tag!!! Same game!! No microtransactions though. Curious to see how the put RCT-T on switch. What the price will be. I will avoid it like the plauge. But its curious how it will all go.
For all those wonder about Nintendos poilices on Microtransactions. Another mobile game that was put on switch for 10.00 still has all their money sucking elements form the mobile title, including the ability to buy their digital currency. So its Nintendo wont care what Atari does. And its very well possible you can still play exponential amounts of cash on virtual coins for RCT-S. And it will probably money to buy.

Well let's be honest folks, they tried everything else and now this!
They have tried making proper games to be sold in the traditional way and they sucked. They have tried selling pre-orders on over-hype and then slipping back to EA to give ppl time to get over the disappointment of the final game they received. They have tried to crowd funding for a console that no one could possibly want.
So now, having tried all that, and having no real success, they have cut out all the complicated bits. This time, they literally just want your money. "Give us your money, we will use it for whatever we want, game related or not. If we don't hit an impossibly high ($2m) target we reserve the right to re-write the return %"
This is essentially what spam scammers do. They make it obvious it's a scam so that only the most stupid ppl fall for it, so they don't have to deal with people intelligent enough to tie shoelaces. Christ only knows how desperate the guys at Atari are to get involved in anything this pathetic - it is, genuinely, quite shocking.
I thought they were just habitually making crap games - I had no idea they were willing to plain mislead and demand money in this way. I am appalled.

Haha ok sorry, I guess Sweden had stricter control on what was allowed to sell then!
We just got a fraction of what was available and yes now I remember the reason they said they only want to release the good ones here. So ok, sorry.Maybe the control was more for content then. Appopriate content. Relatively bug free.
I was just hoping for them to get door in face by Nintendo, but I guess I hoped too much!!

I want RollerCoaster Tycoon on Nintendo Switch and it’s not going to be a mobile port it’s a new game and if Frontier wasn’t so mean and ported Planet Coaster or RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 to Nintendo Switch then it be awesome for everyone because they will get lots of money
Frontier are so mean aren't they? [big grin]
So mean... I don't know why don't just flick the "generate port to everything" switch... (pun intended)
