Ah the game that fucking killed RCT

1+2>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

 

[Dampf]

Another port of a years old game.

Yay?

 

[The Hamburglar]

Ah the game that fucking killed RCT

I loved RC1 but didn't bother with 2.
Why did 3 kill it? It just looks like 1 and 2 except in 3d

I was considering buying Planet Coaster when it is released but should I get this one instead? Which one is better?

Personally i don't think that Planet Coaster will work well on a Switch. It's a demanding game and i think there could be frame drops when the park is full.

Thanks for this, just dodged a bullet. I'm not a RCT fan, but remember playing one of the games when I was a kid, and fell in love with it. I'm certain this isn't it as it looks full of unnecessary stuff.

It is coming for ps4 this December, I think.

It is, but i thought you have a Switch because Rollercoaster Tycoon 3 is not coming for PS4.

 

[Nico_D]

Yeah, both. But anyway, which one is better?

 

[turtlepowa]

You can't go wrong with both. I played them on Pc and had my fun with them, but I think Planet Coaster is the better game overall.

 

[Lillie]

if we own RCT3 on steam do we get a discount on this one?

 

[Susurrus]

What's the difference between this and the RCT3 platinum edition that I already have on Steam?

Assume none until proven otherwise so you don't waste your money.

Parkitect is the closest you'll get to the classic RCT games.

 

[Nikana]

This is the right answer.

 

[DigitalScrap]

Ah, thanks! I somehow never heard of Parkitect. I'll be checking it out.

 

[Stouffers]

I want Railroad Tycoon on Switch. Are there any games like it on the system?

There is also an open source RCT 1+2 project as well. https://openrct2.org/about

Requires you to have the files from the original game but loads the game in a modern environment.

Parkitect is the closest you'll get to the classic RCT games.

Absolutely, unfortunaltely i don't like the art style.

Yep, Railway Empire.
