A Battle which never was one!

Opinion to Planet Coaster and RCTW

Today I will devote a post towards the Battle of two upcoming Theme Park "Simulations".

Who will be the legitimate Sequel of the legendary "Roller Coaster Tycoon" series?

First of all RollerCoaster Tycoon World has the Name of the series because Atari owns the license!

But Planet Coaster got the Developers of RCT2 Add-Ons and RCT3 in theirboat! Frontier is working on Planet Coaster and only Frontier! In Comparison RCTW was developed by three different studios over the past years. Not a good sign I think!

So Let's get on to the Pros and Cons of both Games.

RCTW - Pros

~ Trusted Publisher and Trusted Trademark ~

~ Development since the Big Beta Fail (I like to call it that way) ~

~Solid Coaster Creation Tool ~

RCTW - Cons

~ Switched developing hands too much~

~ Lifeless Graphics ~

~ Too big Signs on Stalls ~

~ High expectations, but screwed up until now! ~

Planet Coaster - Pros

~ Trusted Developer ~

~ Lovely Graphics ~

~ Ton of Freedom in Theming, despite there are very limited Tilesets (Check out Silvarret on YouTube) ~

~ Solid Coaster Creator which is definitely not finished ~

Planet Coaster - Cons

~ New Franchise, new Game ~

~ How much content will follow in the full game ~

Résumé

As you can see Planet Coaster has more Pros than RCTW, even though RCTW is closer to a final game than Planet Coaster. 

PC just looks and feels better for me. I played both and RCTW led to Rage and PC led to Fun.

But it is quite difficult to say how good the final games will be. For now RCTW got wrecked by Planet Coaster!

See you next Time!  ~ ✎Siats, 2016
