Planet Coaster - 2016 [PC Video Game]

Just want to see the progress!

Frontier did 2 livestreams since the latest update. They show off some amazing gameplay and coasters!

This is going to be so much better than RCTW!

Considering the track piece quality in RCTW, I think that this one will attract more gamers!

It still wins over RCTW if the tracks are ass in both games lol

In case anyone wasn't aware, the alpha version (phase 1) is available starting today. I downloaded it and I will get some extensive gameplay in after the workday today. It is already very promising from the five minutes I spent in it. Here is a forum post they posted detailing the alpha phase process and what will be available in today's release.

God I wish I had the money. Thank you for letting us know though!

Arggghhh.... We can't even build coasters though.

But the game looks stunning! RCTW is not going to like this.

Apparently there's a cheat code to unlock coaster building.

The coaster designer is already really intuitive and powerful. If this is the pre-alpha, I'm stoked for what they develop it into over the next nine months. After about an hour and a half, I've got a B&M mega.

I love how the alpha is better than the beta of rctw, I'll probably end up getting both but this is definitely the better of the 2.

Clean renderings all over the screen! I guess that the developers also love the nature on this planet!

wow

I'm so glad I didn't pre-order RCTW.... This game looks incredible.

I gotta say that building parts are also awesome and so are oriental structures!

^ Yeah, your decision is, IMO, totally right!

Im loving this game so much, probably gonna have to get it once its fully released

Keep in mind guys that these were all done using a very incomplete list of scenery that are very incomplete themselves. And this was made. Planet Coaster is a lot of fun

Nice to see Silvaret featured so heavily - that guy is all kinds of talented!

I ordered the Deluxe Edition of RTW back in September of 2015, I couldn't wait to play it. When I finally got it and started to play it I was totally let down on what a shitty job they did. I wasn't expecting this, I wish I could've got a refund but that ship has sailed. I finally stopped playing out of frustration. I pre ordered Planet Coaster but after my experience with RCTW I spent some extra cash and bought the alpha. I think it is an awesome game and I highly recommend it. I emailed Atari and told them how I feel and I wouldn't be back, but they don't care, they were just in it for the money. The RCT legacy is dead.........................

In name anyway - the guys developing Planet Coaster are ex- RCT developers I believe.

I really want to make a long jet coaster in Planet Coaster. I was thinking of making a jamp up land type planet coaster park.

Same. All of it.

^^ I'd love to see that thing!

And this is why my RCT3 Disneyland recreation will remain unfinished. While RCT3 does have the potential to allow for a great recreation, especially with the Revcoasters mod pack, the realism still isn't there, this looks like a game far better at handling curved objects, which disneyland is full of; with in game scenery items, and offset/angled placement. RCT3, sadly, does not handle anything outside of a box very well.

I bought the game, but unfortunately I do not have a supercomputer so I cannot run it. Luckily, I was able to get a refund. I wish I could play this still.
