Yeah, Parkitect seems fun as well, but this one is graphically better! :D

I'm sold on the landscaping alone. The coaster building looks iffy, but a lot better than RCTW, and it's just a preview afterall. But That terrain system, finally a way to make realistic cliffs and such. The ability to create local grids is cool too.
What are these for?

The only thing I'm cautious of is how you build coasters. If they make a simple AND complex way to do it then this will be perfect :)

Interesting. This really feels like it has a huge amount of customization and complexity - I do wonder how this will affect having to start a new scenario over and over if they indeed choose that method of "levels".

Wow thanks for posting such a wonderful clip and it has just struck me that this game is obviously targeted for everyone! 3d objects given to everyone! Hurrah, Frontier! I find this game so user friendly despite the fact that an extremely high "graphic" level is maintained!

:D

Um, it hasn't been delayed - in fact, this is pretty much the first date announced.

Corkscrew Coaster... one of the many things RCTW wasn't able to make.

This could very well be the RCT follow-up we've all been waiting for since RCT3. My main concerns are; will people that don't have inter-galactic super computers be able to the run the game smoothly? With all of these animations and models, you know. Also, is it just me or are the coaster physics wonky? Kind of like a K'Nex coaster.

But on a more positive note, the supports, trains and attention to detail are superb.

^^ Hope that this "Zipper" will be more or way realistic than that of RCT3 which loaded guests unnaturally like they had to teleport to each cabin in the air, lol!

Just my two cents. ;)

This goes early access in March too.

Does irk me somewhat when they advertise this whole community sharing aspect as something brand new without acknowledging that it's being going on for years with places like here / shy guy's world / RCTLounge etc. etc (from a RCT point of view).

In terms of model realism, I agree that this is ahead of the others out there. I'm not sure about the physics, Wittloc, but it could be because they're developers who don't really make realistically shaped tracks, ie lots of sharp unbanked turns while at very high speeds like at 2:18. I'm sure with the level of detail they're taking care to put in, the physics will be reasonably viable.

By that, I meant how the cars go WAY faster then they should.

Wow this looks a lot better then the new RCT world. Not even a little bit.
This is almost exactly what I wanted the new roller coaster tycoon world to look like. Thank you Frontier for realising this! Bring this out NOW! :)
