Planet Coaster - 2016 [PC Video Game]

You have Parkitect still at least!

This is my first look at Planet Coaster after I purchased the game today. I wanted to share some information with you that I did not know about before I purchased the game. When I purchased the game I had to download "Frontier Launch Pad" and log in and then download Planet Coaster. Every time I want to play the game I have to log in to play the game. If any of you have any Steam games then you will be familiar with this. My first time playing the game, some of the scenery items, rides, etc. took awhile to load. But I still think this is a great game once you learn how to play and move around the game. The game to me is amazing now and I can't wait for it to be fully released in a few months.

The intro when u first start the game makes me laugh every time. (When King Coaster comes into the screen and kicks the globe)

Yeah, but I'd love to try this game as well since I've never really delved into the realm of RCT3 type games.

I do know that it's extremely hard to build realistic objects in RCT3!

I wish Lego had such dreamy parts to build an epic park!

Thought this would be good to know for people who are planning on getting this game who haven't ordered it yet. The pre-order price right now is $29.99, but at release it will be $49.99.

^ Big difference there!

Thanks for the heads up - will possibly buy it soon despite not having the time to play it!

Further updates?

So Silvarret just won Planet Coaster...again.

GERMAN ALTON TOWERS!

I was watching Silvarret stream building this on Twitch, I told him that some of the lats might be "deadly" and he smoothed it, so I like to think I had input haha

That is stunning. The coasters aren't perfect of course but the environment is unprecedented.

Haven't played Planet Coaster at all... have watched all of Silvarret's videos.
So amazing.

Yeah, score for theming has to be like 100 out of 10! Uber-extreme details!

Cant wait for Alpha 3 in a few days. I have been playing the game some finally and really enjoy it. I really wish there was a way to convert a coaster from PC to NL2 that would be so awesome.

It's really nice to see a game (not just from a coaster enthusiast standpoint) where the developers seem to truly care about their product and the community.

Love the fast pass integration, smart way to do it, and easy! Would be cool if you could make switchbacks that were able to open/close.

Some more cool features, and lots more on their channel:

I love the grid pathways, hopefully you can fill in the centers and make plazas with them.

That was my big negative with PC was the non-grid paths, glad they added it

Imagine they or some modder would add an import option for NoLimits 2 coasters.... That would be sooooo awesome

So Alpha 3 is out, it's amazing, and I can't play it because my computer can't handle it and I'm still waiting on a new one. Torture.

oo I gotta try!

Edit: video got deleted, showed a coaster similar to full throttle in alpha 3
