New RollerCoaster Tycoon revealed, coming to mobiles and PC

ok, I'll fall for your trap. I'll give you $3 for a crappy RCT game, then I'll give you $40 for the good one. but please, GIVE ME THE GOOD ONE!

This is very unfortunate.

Ah, this takes me back. Will be looking forward to this -- hope it'll run on my rapidly aging iPhone 4.

Nice, i think there is a fan base for tycoon

Oh god, please not another cell phone to pc port. I want a fully fledged next gen pc version, not this crap.

This first one looks better than this.

So those red tickets are the pay to win/not wait currency right?

Wait a minute, what if they leave the mobile game as pay to win but strip out all the pay to win crap and release a full PC version?

just once I want to see a great app come out on droid and windows phone, but snub those pretentious iphones

been waiting for news on rct 4 for ages hoping it will be bigger and better than rct3..and instead we get this abomination!!!!!!!

what in the hell was atari thinking you don't make a sequel with backwards graphics you make it bigger and better this looks like damn rct1!!! and no doubt it will be full of micro transactions you can stick it atari!!!!!!!!!

chris sawyer should have NEVER sold the franchise....now it's DEAD

RIP RCT .........

I loved using the calipers to drop unhappy guests in the lake and watch them meet their binary maker after struggling to stay afloat for a couple seconds. MWA HA HA! DIE, Little BASTARDS!

I'm hoping the PC "experience" is a legitimate RCT game and not some lame microtransaction version, which is what the mobile version is looking like.

damn... those youtube comments.

Dont ruin this Atari! >:(

I was a huge fan of the Roller Coaster Tycoon franchise. In my opinion the first 2 were better than the third; the different animation style and gameplay of the third iteration threw me off a little, but it was still fun. I was excited when I saw the headline on the front page, but after reading the article, watching the video and looking at the screenshot, I am extremely wary of RCT 4. It looks cheesy and looks like a money grab pay-to-play model.
And where are the physics. Half the roller coasters they show don't even have banked turns! I'll wait until the PC version comes out (no interest in the mobile/facebook version) and I hope its a full fledged game without micro transactions, but first impressions are negative.

Roller Coaster tycoon 3 platinum is amazing, you can get it on STEAM. The damn AMD GPU drivers right now are screwed for it though. AMD needs to fix it ASAP, its one of my favourite games. Its so much fun, you can ride the rides and everything.

Hmmm PC AND mobile is a little worrying. Though I will keep my eye on it since Roller Coaster Tycoon and Theme Park World are some of the most fun in "strategy" I've ever had.

your merry go round is taking too long to construct, would you like to pay us money so it finish instantly?

This looks like the new Dungeon Keeper all over again......

If it had occulus rift support - maybe

I think I'm gonna stick with RCT1&2 despite both being unplayable on Winderp 8. So unless they do some sort of HD remake (preferably without the online part) I'm unlikely to get this.

Since I heard about the news that there is a new Rollercoaster Tycoon coming, a sequel to one of my most enjoyed games, every further announcement felt like being on a rollercoaster.

"A new RCT is in development" - YAY - "it's a mobile game" - NOO - "but we're also working on a PC experience" - YAY - wait, what ? "experience" ? - NOO ...

The PC version better be a real damn good standalone development, making use of todays technology and processing power to deliver a truly worthy successor to the franchise, otherwise this will be just another "casual, dumbed down game" disaster.

Since Atari also mentioned something about an "Online experience" I'll remain VERY sceptical until gameplay is shown and more details surface, perhaps they'll even do an AMA on Reddit to answer most pressing questions by long time fans and the community.

For now this will stay on my watchlist but please, pretty please, don't screw this up, Atari - If the plan is to release a simple port or a crappy facebook game or a always online DRM'd microtransaction fuckfest, then don't release it at all, stop development immediately and burn down your office - if you don't, then fans will. (actually this will simply mean that Atari will lose customers and that the franchise ended with RCT3, pretty unspectacular though compared to the alternative reality thought)

The PC version better entirely different from the mobile version (I.E. it better be good)

I'll pick it up for Android someday, assuming you can build your own rollercoasters and not just use prebuilt designs. The PC version will be a day one buy.

I used to love the original Rollercoaster Tycoons. The isometric ones were much better than the 3D version. Sucks that they don't release them for Android though. The Galaxy S3 and S4 have bigger screen...you'd think they'd release more games for them.

Kinda looks like a Facebook port. Hopefully its not though.

Hopefully the PC version will be a full fledged game rather than a port to Facebook. One thing that comes positive from this news is that it's called Rollercoaster Tycoon 4 and not just 'Rollercoaster Tycoon', if the PC version has next-gen graphics and everything that made the originals shine then maybe for once we will get a true sequel to a beloved franchise, hoping The Sims 4 will be good too.

I've always enjoyed RCT. As long as the PC game is a true game I'm all for this.

I like that I can play RCT on the go.

But I hope the PC experience they say is actually a PC experience and NOT a Facebook game!

This looks seriously awful. And I've always been a huge fan of Rollercoaster Tycoon.

I don't think anyone was asking for a theme-park version of Farmville.

Just look at the picture, clearly there are micro-transactions. What a shame. Hopeful for the PC version at least, as long as it's a standalone game like the previous entries.

oh cool RollerCoster Tycoon 4.... OMFG KILL IT KILL IT NOW!!!

Yay! I hope they do a good job on the one for the PC. I can't wait to see!

Am I the only one that's thinking the game will end up like this?: "Park rides will take anywhere from 30 minutes to a few days to complete. Or, the player may choose to finish the building process instantly by spending "gems". Recruit your Facebook friends to come to your park to entertain your guests and get more gems!"

FInally! It's back! and if the PC version would look like the mobile version, than I'm sold. I loved the way RCT1 and RCT2 looked. I've waited so long for this. I'm just missing the next Commandos game.

The PC experience coming soon, and it will probably bring all the micro-transactions with it. Another one bites the dust ladies and gents. The only way to put gamers at ease is to answer three simple questions. 1. Will there be micro-transactions? 2. Will it be online only with a "social experience"?. 3. Will be Sim Parking Lot levels of dumbed down? If the answer to these three questions is "No", then I will happily look forward to and purchase this game day one.

THE RIDE NEVER ENDS

I have been waiting for RCT 4 for 12 years... RCT 3 was weird, (I still played it a lot, just didn't like it as much) but I LOVED the first two.

I hope they don't ruin the PC version.

Hopefully they don't kill the game with micro transactions. They'll let you build the coaster, but it will cost extra to put it in your park. Lol.
