Atari have responded to fan concerns over the PC version of Rollercoaster Tycoon 4, after it was revealed that the game would first release on mobiles and tablets with accompanying free-to-play shenanigans.
"We can't share that much, but the PC version will definitely be a completely different game," said senior director of marketing Anthony Chien in an interview. "There's a lot of diehard RC fans that want a PC experience, they want all different sorts of things.
GamerBolt: "The recent history and the future of the franchise are deeply disappointing thousands of RCT fans and the recently announced Roller Coaster Tycoon World may be the poor end of a beloved franchise."
We've got March sales numbers, Marty O'Donnell gets fired, and Spider-Man on the Xbox One gets canceled! We review Rollercoaster Tycoon 4 Mobile and Trails Fusion. Plus part 2 of our Playstation retrospective!
GamerBolt: "Needless to say, there are high hopes and expectations for RT 4 from legions of fans which cannot simply be overlooked any longer."
I really, really... Really... Hope so... This was something I gave up on long ago, but now it's real. Please don't ruin it, Atari.
Completely different doesn't mean good. I hope that it stays away from today's trends and sticks with the formula that worked.
It seems in recent years that all of my old favorites are being ruined with their new releases. Will have to wait and see if this has the same fate.
Let me guess, browser-based and free to play? I gotta quit being so negative :|
A Virtual Reality rollercoaster tycoon could be a big hit on the PS4.
