Planet Coaster - a new theme park sim from Frontier

Coming in 2016. They're doing Kickstarter-like pre-order campaign.

Looks like there's no micro-transaction

 

... yet.

 

Yeah, I forgot to add that.

 

I can't wait for more "online only" butthurt. Call me when Paradox does it.

 

I feel refreshed after the Elite: Dangerous fiasco that I need never worry about whether to buy a Frontier game again.

 

Elite: Coasterous

 

If they have Oculus Rift support maybe we can all pretend and escape to a fun park from our daily boring lives.

I am counting on you, David.

 

Augmented version.

 

First dev diary on crowd simulation:

 

Dev diary on the building tools:



That looks impressive.

 

Coming in November 17th.

It's available for pre-order: http://store.steampowered.com/app/493340/

 

Everything tells me that it's going to be fun, but the music tells me to check out this cool new way I can turn a stove on using Wi-Fi in San Francisco.

 

You want Paradox to develop a team park tycoon game?

That sounds like the most depressing and boring game ever.

 

This is out on the 17th, I'm getting hyped.

 

I'm playing the beta, it's pretty fun. I managed to create a coaster that would destroy people's internal organs without even trying to do that, on my first attempt to make one, gg

 

LOL thousands of spreadsheets, negotiating the price for steel beams for rollercoaster tracks, can't turn the track that way because engineers don't know how to mold the track.

Sort through job applications. Wait 20 rounds to construct a food stand, FDA shuts down your park because employee served raw chicken etc...

 

That would be amazing.
I am currently trying to decide if I should pre-order this. I never pre-order things, but this might scratch the itch I had since RCT.

 

The graphic engine is absolutely impressive for this kind of games, just like Rtc3 one was at release. Those guys know their shit

 

Booooooooooooooooooooooooooring



Call me when the gameplay is ready for this

 

Hollow like Cities: Skylines.
If you like to look at pretty parks and build stuff...buy it. If you like management and a little more depth and challenge then do not buy it. Refunded it today.

 

So no gore?

 

nope sadly. is it moddable?

i am sure someone is sick and talented enough if the engine accept mods.

but then again it's denuvo protected

 

I'm sure someone will mod gore but that's like a 30 second thing that's fun to do maybe once? The game's not really about that but it might be a funny addition idk.

I caved and got this game tho. It feels SO MUCH different from RCT but in a good way. The more freedom with track design really allows for cool stuff but it's harder to create a nice smooth track. It'll take some getting used to but I think it'll be great in the long run.

Anyway do you guys know if there's a tool to remove a bunch of scenery without needing click on each individual item and then click the delete button? That's taking forever and I keep getting held up with my rollercoasters when there's a group of trees in the way or something.

 

Well, the gore is not an end in itself, but just to have none of that gives me flashbacks from Midtown Madness, where no one really got hurt, so that the ratings could be kept low enough. I think GTAV style damage modelling on humans would be just right for this game.
