lol great name

lol RCT fans were all creating hype like "it's been a decade and finally a new theme park game!" on Frontier's forum.

>Frontier releases game.
>Watches news.
>Frontier headquarters bombed
>...by raging RCT fans.

Seriously 'Coaster Crazy' is the name of a new rollercoaster game? So this is where Oscar is working on behind the scenes [;)]

I know! The title choice is quite the coincidence!

[:O] They didn't even ask us if it was ok to use our name which has been registered for the past 10 years!

well at least its free forming. looks kind of ridiculous, especially since we know they're more creative than this, but whatever. I probaly won't get to play anyway because I don't have a smart phone, and have no interest in gettng one

Yeah I'll pass.

I think Ultra Coaster looked barely poopty than that, and it came out in like, 1997?

CKidd, yeah, I know what you mean. I held out as long as possible then my old flip phone died. Best deal was for a free Droid Charge on 2 yr contract. But I hardly use it all. Phone calls, a few texts and a poker app is all I use.

But back on track, that game looks pretty shotty imo. RCT 1 & 2 are great. After that...

From the Frontier forums, many are disappointed. But its rumored its only a core game that will be expanded in the future. We will have to see.

I want either RCT 1 or 2 ported over to the ipad/iphones!

^Droid, Windows Phone, ect. I'd rebuy RCT 1 and 2 if they put it out on phones.

You're never going to get 2D RCT on phones. Because of how they were made it is impossible to "port" them. They would have to be re-implemented from scratch.

even so, the point is we know they're better than this

It's also worth noting that they've said repeatedly that this is just the beginning of the groundwork for a future all-encompassing theme park title. They're starting with the new coaster-designing system on a free app/game.

I'm not liking the graphical direction though. Looks, to be honest, stupid. Kids surfing on the coaster and such.

It goes back to it just being a game and people having fun with crazy stuff versus what NL is, for people are so focused on having the perfect shape etc. That takes away from the fun of NL imo. Maybe this could be good. After all, look at the success in sales figures for their other developments.

Hmmmmmm I wonder if this works for ipad also? I'm assuming that it does.

Looks like they're going for Thrillville-like tricks and graphics.

I had a nice talk with David Walsh this morning. [:)]

Accurate rendering of Stark Raven Mad 2003.

And also that one time at Six Flags New England.

Looks like an accurate depiction of the Darien Lake incident last year.

If corkscrew had done this in real life it'd be much less painful.
