So Atari has decided to work on a new Rollercoaster Tycoon game, great right? Well...
In one announcement Atari has managed to get me excited and then crap all over my early 20's (for some of you your childhood, for Ken his mid 40's ).
The Good:
A new RCT game!
The Bad:
They're making "two games" at the same time with the same title. The first is RTC4 for the iOS. The game will have an up front cost as WELL as a pay wall for build times... Atari insists that the PC game, which will be developed alongside the iOS game and released after, will not just be a cut copy of the iOS game. But they've said little else. To me that's worrying. I envision a browser based game with pay walls all over it... Want that cool looking loop for your track? Well that's $0.99 for the DLC...
I can't say for sure that's what it'll be, just a sinking suspicion given that they've recently talked about prioritizing monetary transactions, free to play, and mobile platforms.
I'll let you make your own judgement, and above all else will wait for more news but I'm not overly excited... You can check out PC Gamers article here.
