Very excited for this. The lighting is really good in this. Will probably not need to buy anything else this year.

Have a couple hundred hours in PC1. Excited to pick this up.

 

[Eimran]

Looking forward to this. And looks like they really listened to the feedback of the fanbase on the first game.

VR mode?

I always love these games and often buy them, boot them and realize I don't have 1% of the creativity needed to fully create your own customized theme park.

Looks great, this is a day1 for me. Loving Theme Parkthose games since Theme Park.

I plan to get right back into my bullshit with this one.

I start a new park every 6 months, dipping in for an hour here or there, and without planning anything too much (beyond 'this will be an rmc, or this will be a dueling coaster') I make sure that every coaster I build twists around another one in the park, with as many near misses as possible while still coming out with solid green rankings for fear/excitement.
I'm looking forward to pathing and theming getting better, might actually do some for once, but really my aim is to tie coasters in knots around each other. it's quite therapeutic to make a huge mess of things.

This is my last park:

I'm stoked.

Can anyone tell me if this game has more management of the park than the first one?

 

[EruditeHobo]

I've always loved the idea of this kind of game... never dived in, but I used to love Theme Park way back in the day.

 

[darrylgorn]

This game is going to be plagued with performance issues, isn't it?

Please don't be another Cities Skylines 2.

Can anyone tell me if this game has more management of the park than the first one?

Yes, it's super in depth now. Early reports have been that if you are into the management side (which the first really sucked at), then you'll be very happy.

Its said that Frontier improved also the career mode....its shall be more substantial as the first one (whatever this means ). But tbh I was fine with the mangement part in PC1 already. It kept me playing and building rollercoasters.

I am definitely in day1...huge fan of this genre since Themepark/Rollercoaster Tycoon times...and Planet Coaster is the best we ever seen in it.



edit...they made a little deep dive vid about the management:

Just as satisfying making rides interact with each other in this one.
No sync station feature yet though so I cant make a proper dueling coaster yet.
