Today Atari announced RollerCoaster Tycoon World, the newest installment in the amusement park simulation series for PC.

Developed by Pipeworks, RollerCoaster Tycoon World once again puts players in charge of a theme park, complete with rides, shops, patrons and, of course, the titular roller coasters. Park maintenance and customer happiness need to be tended to, as well as overall construction and expansion efforts. But in the newest installment, players can also cooperate with up to four players to manage one massive amusement park.

"Many of the new features in RollerCoaster Tycoon World were not possible a few years ago, but we have taken advantage of technological improvements to offer a wildly fun gaming experience that stays true to the storied franchise," Atari CEO Fred Chesnais said in a press release.

Other players' parks can be visited, and coaster blueprints can be shared online as well –– Pipeworks wants to make RollerCoaster Tycoon World the most connected Tycoon title yet.

Atari said RollerCoaster Tycoon World is a full PC experience, and will be "micro-transaction free," so players will have access to all of the content at release.

Hell yeah, this sounds amazing. I was so disappointed when "Rollercoaster Tycoon 4" turned out to just be a lovely phone game that charged you through the nose for microtransactions. I can't wait to see how this turns out

Baby even when I'm dead and gone
You will always be my only one, my only one
When the night is calling
No matter who I become
You will always be my only one, my only one, my only one
When the night is calling


 No microtransactions is good but ugh online poo poo? Nobody wants to sperg with their loving friends, we don't HAVE friends to begin with and even if they did the only good thing from multiplayer is goons dicking over pubbies.

Nice world you've got here. Shame if anything were to happen to it.

 It does not appear that the online component is compulsory.

Speak for yourself :colbert:

My friends and I would love to collaborate on a giant theme park. It'd be no different from having a private Minecraft server or whatever.

I don't care about the online component at all because I don't want you goons in my precious little zen garden. :colbert: No penis shaped Power Towers here!

RCT3 is the oldest game currently installed on my computer. I basically want a modern version of that... with rift support of course.

We go play orbital catch around the curvature of the earth, son.
I would definitely like to be able to go around and visit my steam friends theme parks to help build them or gently caress around as a guest - even while they're in the middle of building them.

They better make go-cart riding into a playable minigame. :cool:
