- sippeangelo 2y agoWorth noting is that OpenRCT2 has multiplayer co-op!
- kiba 2y agoIs there an effort to make graphics for the game so that I don't have to go online to buy the files somewhere?
- mccolin 2y agoI can vouch. Having OpenRCT2 and being able to play this amazing game again has brought me so much joy.
- binary132 2y agoI’ve been playing a copy of the original installment in the series off GoG with my kids recently and they love it. Thinking about setting up OpenRCT2 though.
- dcchambers 2y agoOpenRCT2 is great on PC! Also consider Roller Coaster Tycoon Classic. It's a really good remaster of the original two games with modern touch-friendly controls and it has excellent iOS and Android versions that play really well on tablets. https://atari.com/products/rollercoaster-tycoon-classic#play-now https://atari.com/products/rollercoaster-tycoon-classic#play...
- rkagerer 2y agoI see a lot of beefs in the reviews about the UI (especially on smaller screens like phones). How's the game compare to RollerCoaster Tycoon Netflix, which is more highly rated in the Play store? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.netflix.NGP.RollercoasterTycoonTouch https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.netflix.NG...
- dcchambers 2y agoYeah the UI would be tiny on a phone and I wouldn't play it that way. But on an ipad-sized device it's a dream. That other game you linked is something else entirely. It's a modern mobile interpretation of RCT, but not at all related other than sharing a name and them. Where-as the one I linked IS the original legendary game. I would skip the modern mobile game personally, as I don't like that of game.
- bbx 2y agoIt's surprisingly great on iOS, even with the small UI factor. I managed to play it decently on an iPhone SE years ago. Would definitely recommend it if you want to play it on the go as it's still very fun to play nowadays.
- genocidicbunny 2y agoThere's also Parkitect, which is a sort of spiritual successor to RCT2. It might be a little more accessible if you're trying to introduce kids to the RCT games.
- TylerE 2y agoSort of, but it plays not nearly as good and the coaster physics are bad. The thing I really don’t like is that it puts too much emphasis on scenery and not the tides themselves.
- genocidicbunny 2y agoThe thing you don't like is why I think it's pretty good for introducing younger players to the genre. Being able to build something that looks pretty in the game provides a much more immediate feedback than taking a few hours to try to understand the coaster mechanics.
- billfruit 2y agoWhat about Planet Coaster?
- genocidicbunny 2y agoPlanet Coaster is good, but it has a vastly different aesthetic. RCT2 and 2 had that nice isometric grid which Parkitect has as well.
- satvikpendem 2y agoOpenTDD is mentioned in the video and OpenRCT2 is also hinted at
- m0n01d 2y agoHonestly the only reason I have a steam deck
- thih9 2y agoThe project’s FAQ says that the original Rct2 is required; are there plans to also provide alternative assets, OpenTTD style? Edit: yes, work in progress at https://github.com/OpenRCT2/OpenGraphics https://github.com/OpenRCT2/OpenGraphics
