From the way it looks, the developer originally working on RCTW was sold to a different company, and the new company didn’t want to continue with the production. While this would normal indicate that the game is not doing as well as it should be, in this case it looks like things may be okay. One of the big concerns about this game is a switch of the developer about halfway through the process. The parks will be rendered in 3D, and the coaster building will be done using a grab and stretch mechanic instead of the prebuilt parts of the previous RCT games. RollerCoaster Tycoon World is starting over from scratch where RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 left off. Please don’t confuse this game with RollerCoaster Tycoon 4 Mobile which came out late last year for mobile phones, which requires in-app purchases. Ultimately, it comes down to whether or not this one is more fun to play than all of the other ones.
Now, it could very well be that they are not done yet and the high-res polish goes on last, but I have to think they are going to get steamrolled by the games that have several million in their budget just to spend on team building exercises. This project is doing weekly devblogs and while it looks like they are making progress, the stuff that they are showing looks like a low-res knock off of the original Roller Coaster Tycoon with cartoonier graphics.

There is much less information on this project than the previous, partially since Theme Park Studio has released code and Parkitect has not just yet. This is another project that got its start on KickStarter, with Texel Raptor doing the development work. While I think this is brilliant, I also get the feeling like No Limits will destroy them, and if they convert to a game, several of the below better funded games are going to steal their lunch money and kick them in the shin.

Having not played this particular game, I can say that to me it looks like No Limits, yet not as polished, making it strictly a simulator and not a game per the strictest definition of the word. They have done several code releases onto Steam and appear to be doing quite well. After raising more than $100K in starter funds to build it, the company has been extremely busy working on this. Pantera Entertainment threw out this idea onto KickStarter to see if anyone was interested in a new theme park game. This is the project that kicked off the new renaissance of theme park games.

I figured it was a good time to update everyone as to where we stand on new games while those of us living outside CaliFlorida wait to get back on some actual theme park rides this summer. We are about to hit critical mass on new theme park and roller coaster games. No Limits 1 & 2 have shipped as superior simulations, though not really games, and other than those and maybe ThrillVille, the offerings have been less than stellar. Ĭan you believe that it's been 11 years since RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 came out? Since that time, many gamer theme park fans have been left waiting.Jeff Elliott What's New in Games for Theme Park Fans?
