New Roller Coaster Tycoon Story Launch Trailer! Nostalgia guaranteed!

[MattAces]

They really nailed it this time.
Really brings back memory. I remember when I was young, playing candy crush, it got me through tough times.
Hyped to see their approach on this genre with this legendary franchise!

 

[DannyVice]

Hard -hard- hard pass. Actually felt a bit disgusted by the trailer.

It never ceases to amaze me how these games get increasingly worse with every new iteration they make. Heck, even the logo looks like one of those poorly edited fan-made logos, but official. So glad we have Planet Coaster and Parkitect nowadays.

The fuck is this? I know, brand recognition and all, but they could have just... not called it Rollercoaster Tycoon if they wanted to mix Candy Crush and Farmville.

 

[Maple]

It's not even a RTS or theme park building game...it's a Candy Crush reskin.

Whatever happened to Rollercoaster Tycoon World?

 

[MrConbon210]

As someone with a degree in theme park management, this makes me want to throw up.

 

[LuigiMario]

Oof.

 

[Bunkles]

 

[EvilChameleon]

Anyway, I invite everyone to buy the RCT2 Triple Thrill Pack on Amazon or GOG, and then download the OpenRCT2 project which improves the game massively.

The "story" bit in the title got my hopes up that this was going to be done by Kairosoft. This doesn't look like Kairosoft. Or like Roller Coaster Tycoon in the way I know it. This looks like a 2010 facebook game tryna milk the farmville cash cow.

 

[Finale Fireworker]

How dare you troll me like this.

 

[Unicorn]

uhhhhhhhhhhhh

Thanks. now i have vomit in my mouth.

OP, please tell me you're joking.

This looks absolutely awful and seeing the name on this makes me want to cry.

/edit
Okay, yes.. OP is joking, I get it. Sorry, I wasn't sure at first.

 

[Box]

OP Diablo'd us.

Ah now that's some tasty nostalgia :D
On a similar theme this video cracked me up the other day...

 

[Nappuccino]

Why would you do this

 

[J.Devesh]

Thanks to Parkitect to exist <3

 

[Ethical Hedonism]

I just... can't

 

[Xtortion]

Chris Sawyer weeps

 

[GulAtiCa]

That looks awful..

 

[99humanity]

Play Roller Coaster Tycoon Classic on iOS. It's great, and this looks like horrible trash!

 

[Samaritan]

As if Roller Coaster Tycoon wasn't dead enough already...

 

[NekoFever]

Fuck no.

I'm going to wash my eyes out with OpenRCT2.

 

[kodax_shc]

If Chris Sawyer were dead he'd be rolling over in the log flume.

Yepp, took a bit of work but I got this working on my macbook that I use for school. It's a delight.

 

[Dyle]

Jesus christ what a travesty. Amazing how the series has continued to steadily fall apart under Atari's ownership after RCT3

This

 

[LewieP]

Please refer to "Atari" by their proper name, The Husk.

 

[TheWooniestWoona]

Since that looks terrible, here, have some of the good RCT. A Coaster that takes 135 (real life) years to ride.

 

[Paperchampion23]

What in the everloving fuck

OpenRCT2 is a godsend. The game plays beautifully.

Is this Mr. Bones Wild Ride?

[Deleted member 8593]

absolutely haram

 

[xXJonoXx]

What in the literal fuck am I viewing

 

[Bizzquik]

Just remaster the original Xbox port for all modern-gen consoles. The first game worked surprisingly well with a controller in that form.
Print money.

Seriously, how hard is it to do that?

 

[Magic-Man]

The theme park enthusiast in me hates life right about now.

 

[Fuchsia]

Wow I thought this was going to be a new game in the series and a return to form. I was super disappointed when I watched that video. More power to you if you enjoy those kinds of games but damn was I bummed.

 

[Illusion]

It's just a lame candy crush game...

I had no faith coming into this thread because I know the talent who made these games left. While also making their own games.

What a fall of a franchise. I just find it more sad what's left of the series is just brand recognition to sell bad cash grabs.

 

[Rotobit]

I mean, at least they aren't even trying to mislead people anymore, that's a plus

With Planet Coaster and Parkitect existing, the only reason to care about RollerCoaster Tycoon is the name itself. Sucks that they're doing this but it's modern-day Atari so...

They could just allow MS to make it backwards compatible and available as a download, and that would be better than this. I don't think that would require any work from Atari at all, but I bet they never do it.

Or I could just play the original which plays great on modern PCs provided you know what security feature to disable to make it run
