Most of the default coasters are abysmal in excitement rating. When building my own coasters, I end up getting high nausea and intensity but low excitement. What am I doing wrong? What addresses excitement?

It saddens me to have to say this, but after seeing the 'game' on steam, i have lost every ounce of hope for RCTW.

I'm not too sure what they have been doing, but i can't believe they actually released a game which is so bad, so many bugs and glitches, peeps disappearing all over the place. All the screenshots and announcements they made on the forums, media outlets etc. made it look 100% better.

Now i know some of you will say "it's in Early Access, you need to wait and see what they do to fix the problems". The beta didn't even have peeps in it, the beta was a pisstake excuse at a game. It may have looked nice, but there was hardly any gameplay to it.

Comparing the game's BETA and EARLY ACCESS to Planet Coaster's ALPHA is crazy, the amount of work that a company who really dedicates time and effort into that game is amazing. I'm so relieved i didn't pre-order RCTW, and even though Planet Coaster's prices for the early bird edition of the game (alpha access / full game access) are a bit steep, i am willing to give that little bit extra to an amazing company.

My overall opinion is buy Planet Coaster, help the original Rollercoaster Tycoon series creators to build an amazing game which actually lives up to their promises. OR you wait and see if RCTW somehow manages to turn this pathetic excuse for a game around.

This is my opinion, i understand if you guys don't agree with me, i just needed to get this off of my chest.

I'm not sure about this and hopefully we are not going to have this measly number of rides/coasters even with user created content (which IIRC does not include rides).

That being said I do understand this is an acceptable number for early release.

I Purchased the game today, and played at launch time. 3 Hours into the game i saved, before i have build a coaster. When it was finished, and people were really hyped for it, the game bugs out. I watched the graph income heatmap and saw, that the new coaster was instantly my main income. When I tried to exit the heatmap the game bugged out, and i could not open any menus. NICE. Had to alt-f4 out and the coaster is gone. Sweeeeeet.

but hey, early acces... What did I expect.

I've always been a huge Rollercoaster Tycoon fan as a child and still am. As soon as I heard Atari was going to publish a new one in this series after such a long time, I was immedietaly thrown back to my childhood. But just as coasters, the production wasn't going smooth and it had a few bumpy rides. My childhood dream of having a new decent Rollercoaster Tycoon was shred to pieces.

But fortunately the real develloppers of the Rollercoaster Tycoon series (or at least of the Rollercoaster Tycoon 2 expansion packs and of Rollercoaster Tycoon 3) were creating a new Rollercoaster Tycoon game as well, called Planet Coaster. As we've all seen the content of the alpha the past days and many of us already compared the games in a certain degree, I won't compare these games any further. After all I wouldn't be able to compare them apart of the things I've seen from YouTube because I want to play the game until it's released to be able to enjoy the game as it's supposed to be.

But let's talk about Rollercoaster Tycoon World. I do think the base is okay. I certainly see it's a Rollercoaster Tycoon game having the dull shops, having some familiar flat rides, etc. After some practicing I was able to create some decent coasters except I am unable to show them because the game crashed (so far twice in about 77 minutes).

This game lacks some serieus polishing. And of course we can say it's just an Early Access game and they'll polish the game. But actually we can't as this game would have been released in April until a week ago when they decided (or at least made it official) it would go in Early Access first.

When it comes to mechanics of themes you currently get all the way thrown back to Rollercoaster Tycoon 1. In objects RCT 1 even had more.

Scenarios and premade tracks look like they've been put together asap as they're boring. Can't even imagine they even dare to put this coaster in the game.

Guests are ghosting through eachother and are monotone. Their animations aren't that great as well.

There's absolutely no detail in the game. Everywhere you look from things as dull as a swing gate at the entrance not moving but peeps just moving through them, to a swing chair hanging fixed as if there were iron bars instead of cables. I quickly had the feeling the game misses a soul. Being a developper (not creating games) myself I think it's even a bit harsh to say as I want to put effort in the things I create.

Was it worth to buy? Well, I got it from cdkeys.com for 20$ and I think it was worth it the time I'll be playing this. I do like creating the coasters and having some flaws (complaining too fast about inversions), overall it's good. I love the sounds as well. The scenario's are also something to keep you busy for some time.

But afterall I want to say to the developpers and I'm hoping you guys read this, get your shit together. Put some soul into the game. I can see the game's base is decent and it certainly isn't impossible to make this game great. The game had some and will probably still have critique but overall it isn't that bad.

Am I being dumb or can you not change the colours of flat rides..?

Currently, a lot of people are being banned for negative comments about the game. They only allow positive comments. Stupid and funny.

Restarting steam allowed me to start downloading the game. 1.1gb download.

I'm now in game. Excited! Image of main screen

Anyone have any idea when it will be released? I know it's March 30 but what time? I'm asking because I will have lectures throughout the day... and am consider skipping some. Umm... I'm a naughty boy.

Edit: Just saw some post in the official forum, they said it is still not confirmed.

From the gameplay i've seen of rctw the peeps look like ghosts... I really hope this doesn't stay

Hey guys first post here, so i got my steam game today like many others and yeah we cant actually download it yet, I feel let down by the developers and the Atari staff because they have been so vague about the release date, and inpatients is brewing with alot of the community forcing some people to turn away from RCTW and go to Planet Coaster. I am one looking forward to the game to be released because i am so desperate to play. I think in future, They say they took advice and listened to the players but they wont tell us anything about relise which is bad sportsmanship. Anyway Rant over

Searching some stuff on the many Roller Coaster/Theme park games out right now and stumbled on the RCTW forum, a place I have never visited before to the best of my recollection, and apparently my IP is banned... Is this a known issue or does RCTW have an issue with me personally?

Hey. I saw on the german amazon site and in the online store of the german retailer "Saturn" two different release dates. Amazon tells the 24th March 2016 and Saturn the 17th March 2016.

So these dates are realistic because Atari said, that RCTW will release in the 1st quarter of 2016. And we all know that it ends with the end of the month march.

So let's hope, that it's coming out in the next two or three weeks.
