Keep on keeping on, Atari.
What a joke that they used the good RCT for the thumbnail.

Seems like people have expressed their views on that little bait&switch on the video ratings.

I got to give them props, somehow their UI looks worse than this.

The game looks like one of those crappy mobile/steam early access titles that came out after Planet Coaster.
Fuck off, Atari. You don't get to ask for crowdfunding to port your shit version of RCT to another platform. Either do it, or don't. Better off not doing it, but still. Planet Coaster has you beat.
Frontier should bring Planet Coaster to Switch

if you want your switch to explode when viewing a full-fledged park sure :v:
this dude wearing atari's corpse over his shoulders and using it to pad his resume is really excited about bringing the timeless classic to a new platform, you guys
they've made over TWO BILLION dollars with the IPs they not squat on, but they still need [I]investors[/I] to [I]invest[/I] at least $250 a pop until they can amass a million to pay [URL="https://i.imgur.com/8krhqZf.png"]VERY HAPPY MAN[/URL] matt zoern and his canadian studio, famous for RCT World (you know, that one everyone loves) and some facebook games, to probably make a less shitty version of World for Switch

that's because it is. that's Rollercoaster Tycoon Touch, a straight port of Rollercoaster Tycoon World to iOS but with more microtransaction hogwash
This is a really curious case, because they've obviously realized they have ZERO chance of getting a regular crowdfunding campaign with Atari's current reputation, so they're going for "kickstarter but for investors" where you're actually putting a decent chunk of change in and your reward is a share of the product's revenue.

oh, but they do have reward tiers! if you give them $750, you get 25% off your purchase of RCT Switch!

Are you fucking serious??? $750 gets you a [I][B]COUPON?[/B][/I]
$1500 for an ART BOOK??
meanwhile, Chris sawyer the original creator of the game ported the original 2 games to mobile on his own. Go and buy that one instead of this shitshow
-nvm-
Says they've made over 2 billion dollars with their games, yet they still ask people to fund their ports.

Wow I can't believe they got Jay from RLM to help them make their game.
You are asking the community for money to port a globally hated game to another platform?
Wow fuck you buddy. I'd be interested if this was like a RCT 1 + 2 (perhaps 3) compilation thing.
I liked it better when they just called it pre-ordering.
[QUOTE=Ellistron;53075447]meanwhile, Chris sawyer the original creator of the game single-highhandedly ported the original 2 games to mobile. Go and buy that one instead of this shitshow[/QUOTE]
I would buy the original 2 games on Switch if Chris Sawyer ported them
The developer earmarked for this project previously put out Rollercoaster Tycoon World, which sits proudly at a "Mostly Negative" review score on Steam and a Metacritic of 43.
So, you know, definitely a winner in the making. Definitely get your (minimum US$250) investment in while you can!
Wow, I enjoyed the first three games but if that's not greed then I don't know what it is.
It's great how they only show footage of the actual game for three seconds or so, while the rest of the video is footage from RCT1/2 and people who look dead inside. They know.
