Scream Machines Vs. No Limits

Yeah there isnt going to be a 1.7, the next NL update is NL2 and thats not until 2010 so just wait until then to get even more styles.

my bad, i did'nt know.

I prefer NL waayyy over SM. Sorry guys, but I wasn't impressed. I know this sounds n00bish, but SM doesn't have an in-editor (or out of editor for that matter) smoother. I dont use it too often. but it helps with the little things you just can't hand-smooth. Im sm, no smoother. you should see my only SM coaster, it is so rough. I just think NL is way better.

Really unfair to use the smoother as a sticking point...seeing as NL just released their last update till they overhaul it and SM is in the process of overhauling right now.

sorry, I just find it nice to have something to lean on when im in a tight un-smoothable situation.

screw that smoother, even before that smoother there were also outside smoother programs. Now it's just build in since tons asked for it.

Anyway, my opinion stays with NL far over SM. Sm is fun for the trackstyles. But the way of building is just annoying. Also, compare the realism from NL and SM. Both can be very realistic but graphically NL is way better [:)]

Can't wait for NL2, I don't mind waiting 5-10 years for it. 1.6 has provided enough for us for the upcoming years we'd have to wait ^_^

Ive tried scream machines before and i thought it was ok but NL tops it in my opinion. Ive had NL now for two years and i got the hang on it... Plus i just purchased the new update 1.6 whitch is amazing. In my opinion this is just like seeing the Xbox360 vs. PS3.

After this update, the ONLY thing left that I like in SM more is the Catwalks...

SM feels outdated and uses an old engine, and I'm just more used to the NL interface. However, that may change when SM 2 comes out, and maybe again when NL 2 is out. While SM does support more track types I don't like it's interface that much and can get rather tedious.

You could be right. Sometimes they always make them better like SM2, NL2, perhaps SM2.5, and so on......................[:D]

I think that SM and NL are close, but for me I'll go with NoLimits due to the great graphics. The editors and most things are pretty similar, but NL's great graphics make it my #1. I also think that the next NL update will totally smack SM.

I did download the demo of SM. It definetly has more coaster type choice. But id have to go with my favourite NL!

^WWS, the new king of spawn! ;)

no limits is very nice, but so is sm. I think that they both have there ups and downs. Personally, i like no limits because one, its more realistic, and two, the game doesn't make the same sound on every single lift hill. I do like sm for all of the coaster car trains.

Out of all coaster sims out there my biggest picks are SM and NL. Just who knows? One day I may even build a NL coaster for the first time. For SM2 and NL2, they both will be quite something to see in the future. I don't know which one will be a better choice since it's too early to say.

I have never played Scream Machines but I own NoLimits (1.7) and I must say: NoLimits is an OUTSTANDING game.

the cool thing about SM is that is has 4D.

Both good, but no limits has better graphics and sounds. Although that is only one persons opinion...

Right up front, and this is only my opinion, my choice is Scream Machines. I have always found the interface easy to use, and if you are going for "playability" it is great. I will concede that graphically, it is not on the level of No Limits. I own both because they are roller coaster sims (heck I still own Ultracoaster), and I like them both, but for the times when I just want to jump in and begin building something, SM is my choice. For me, I just find it easier to work with whereas NL can overwhelm me at times.

Also, many of the tracks I find here are fantastic and fun to ride. However - and again this is only for me - I am a purist when it comes to building coasters, and have chosen to not use tools on any of my coasters. Are the coasters perfect? No way! But I enjoy the challenge of trying to get that curve, helix, or inversion "just right" on my own...and Scream Machines lets me do just that.

This is something like 4 years later ever since the last reply about sm and nl... I would imagine one day it may be sm2 vs nl2 if it will ever be but I kindly feel nl2 will come out first before sm2 ever will but remember this is 2012. I remember something about SM2 would be out by 2005 if I heard correctly. All that had changed but again we never know and perhaps maybe a new coaster game would be in place for sm2 would be something of a suprise to us but thats just my feeling. Both sm and nl are quite good in there own ways. The only downside for sm is you can only run it on older computers and not the new powerful ones like the one that I have now like the Intel i7. DragonsIOA, we all missed your updates but maybe I'm assuming you already have something rolled up in your sleaves and not ready to bring it out yet. Anyway this brings back wonderful memories about screammachines, nolimits, and maybe hyperrails but hyperrails is dead.
