Those sub-segments can be raised, lowered, stretched, twisted, and pulled, until each section is exactly as you want it. You simply select a starting point and an ending point for each section of track, which is then divided into it’s own sub-segments. Ok, let’s talk coasters, Roller Coaster Tycoon World features a new 3D track editor that’s spline-based. I added a giant Tie Fighter to my park and it was out-of-this-world. You can use any 3D editing program that works with Unity to create something awesome, upload it to the Steam Workshop, and voila! Steam Workshop support is built right into the game, so it’s easy to use for newbies or pros. If the pre-built rides, shops, and scenery choices aren’t for you, that’s ok because Roller Coaster Tycoon World offers incredible customization and modding support. In my 30 minutes with the game, I built a circular walkway with benches along the edges, leaving me plenty of time for plop down a few rides – of which 30 will be available at launch. Finally, park designers can theme different sections of their parks and it actually matters! Park-goers drawn to the macabre, will spend more money and time in a spooky-themed section of the park. The grid is gone! Players are no longer limited to 90 and 45 degree angles for either path construction or land modification and the interface is very intuitive. When it comes to park construction, Roller Coaster Tycoon World manages to offer players more freedom and customization, without over complicating things. By zooming in on your park attendees, which are slightly reminiscent of inhabitants of The Sims franchise, you will see how they are feeling through their actions and animations, rather than a thought bubble or mood icon. Lighting, shadows, reflective surfaces are all fully realized and add to the realism of the game. The detail is just gorgeous, intended for – and displayed at PAX on – a 4k screen.

The pseudo-realism of the franchise is kept intact, with beautiful detail in the rides, textures and landscaping, all while maintaining a playful tone. The first thing you’ll notice about the new Roller Coaster Tycoon World which is now under development by Nvizzio and being published by Atari, is the look.

For the first time in over a decade, aspiring park aficionados will be able to design the ultimate theme-park, construct coasters, manage finances, and, of course, slaughter millions of park attendees! Gorgeous graphics, free-form construction, and built-in modding support make Roller Coaster Tycoon World a welcome newcomer to the RCT series.Īs a fan of city-builders, simulation, and management games in general, my heart skipped a beat when I found out that there was a new Roller Coaster Tycoon title coming out.
