Every single park guest has a unique name, dialog, money value, and stats to communicate how much fun they are or are not having. The detail in Planet Coaster is staggering. Ride placement and walkway design are huge parts of the park’s layout, and a good setup will trap customers in areas where they will be tempted to purchase food and merchandise in between rides on Planet Coaster’s many available attractions. Part of the challenge in creating a theme park involves wise decisions made using the land you’ve been given to create an easily navigable park that will fulfill consumer’s needs while also generating the highest amounts of revenue possible. At least, not without facing consequences. It’s not a game in which one can haphazardly plop down rides and shops at will. Planet Coaster requires a mind for design and business. It involves the aspects many will recognize, including park customization, money management, and maintenance, but has dug deeper to make the features and mechanics even more involved and realistic.

It feels like we're stuck on loop, here - we talked about modding at PAX Prime ('15) and, based on Atari's newest video, not much has changed - but they want to make sure everyone remembers that the game exists and has modding support.At a glance, Planet Coaster is Roller Coaster Tycoon reborn and updated using new coding technology. In the meantime, Atari has re-re-announced its modding plans.

Here's hoping things look up for the globally loved title. Even just the framerates, as you'll see in the video below, are completely inexcusable for a PC game. RCTW's got the name and recognition, but has to pull together its development faster than might be feasible. We're now looking at 'Early 2016' for RollerCoaster Tycoon World, which will soon be threatened by newcomer ' Planet Coaster' (4Q16 launch date). Only one of those betas happened - the other was canceled, and the December launch target got moved. The game seemed like it had promise and, as we learned in a later meeting, was slated for a December launch with two pre-launch betas in the pipe. It was the first time anyone had seen real gameplay footage of the tumultuously-made title, which was (at the time) on its third development team. Our initial coverage of RollerCoaster Tycoon World blew-up when we were at PAX Prime 2015.
