Rollercoaster Tycoon 3 demo

Oooh *starts the download*

I wonder if it feels much different from the original, with this sequel being 3d and all.
 
What a pleasent surprise. Thanks for the link. :D

I still believe that this could do for the RC Tycoon series what Grand Theft Auto3 did for the GTA series.

Yeah I agree too, for some reason #3 didnt feel right compared with the older ones ;(
 
Starting with a fully made park was a bad idea. I hate starting with parks that are already made. I'll have to play it more though to make a decision...
 
w00t, downloading now. hope its good :)

*edit* you haev to <3 thegreenbunny's avatar :)
 
Ok for those who have played this demo- are the excitement and intensity values back and are the coaster physics realistic? Ie. lots of lat's high intenstiy.
 
Just finished playing the demo..

The graphics definetly look A LOT better. The amusement park at night with all the lights on and the ferris wheel lights ect. makes it look AMAZING. I think i am going to pick this one up.
 
It looked goddamn awesome... the coaster cam, the lighting in the day/night cycle, everything.. awesome... Also I very much liked the subtle things, like music playing when zoomed out but it crossfading with the park when zooming in... just awesome

Indeed. It just needs some polish and it will be an awesome game. I'll probably pick it up come X-Mas time.
 
Pretty fun (brings back good memories), but it is in some dire need of polish. The interface needs to be completely reworked, at least in terms of aesthetics. It's too hard to figure out what everything does.

But riding the rollercoasters is fun!
 
i think it was pretty cool, upclose the ppl look pretty ugly but u wont zoom in that far much anyway.

in the rollercoaster is cool :) but the talking u hear from the ppl is a little extremely annoying.

cant u pick up ppl anymmore??? :( i loved it in 2 where i could pick ppl up and just trow em around =D
 
My take on the demo:

Positive:
- Nice sound and graphics.
- Cool coaster cam and other new features/rides/etc.

Negative:
- Interface! Frankly it's a cumbersome piece of crap. Not intuitive at all. I suppose it will be manageable in the long run when I get used to it though.
- You start with a prebuilt park. I hate that.

Overall the game seems to live or die by accepting the state of the interface. If you can handle it the rest of the game is nice.
 
Does Chris Sawyer have anything to do with this?
 
I first saw a Trailer for this in PC User and it looks good, but feels different from the older games. I hope they make some changes before the final release.
 
Demo was nice, not as good as the first 2. I see RC as one of those games where adding gfx does'nt really do much. If they had just made the game high res 2d like the last one, I would of been very very happy.

Not saying I dont like the same, but its nothing that great. Also starting with a predone park sucks, I hate starting with a premade one.. As it does'nt feel like MY park. I will download it but I doubt I will buy it..

Main good points,
- Good Gfx
- Same old RC, Its got everything the last game had and more.

Main bad points,
- The interface is crappy, I mean it ranks high in the crapscale, the even low on the crap scale.. is pretty crap.
- Good Gfx..... I have a high end pc but I had a small, yet highly annoying bit of lag when zoomed out, and this kind of game your going to be zoomed out alot.
- The demo had a prebuilt park, if alot of missions on the full game start like this, I wont get it.
- Sandbox mode is a good idea, but It would be nice to be able to toggle between playing a money matters sandbox mode and money does'nt. (Note: Cant play sandbox mode in demo, but you can see what its about)

Hmm.. alot of bad points.

I liked it. My main complaints were with the sound, mainly like when youre riding the coaster, the idle chatter of all the people was kind of annoying.

Actually Chris Sawyer oversaw the gameplay aspect of it. He didn't have anything to do with the graphics however.
 
How come everyone answers BHC's question and not mine?
