Game modes[edit | edit source]

Description: RollerCoaster Tycoon World may be the latest installment within the famous RCT franchise. This next generation theme park simulation and building game contains fan-preferred features and amazing new developments for example spectacular 3D environments saturated in rollercoaster thrills, fascinating smooth trips, excited visitors, consumer-created information, strong cultural.

There are three game modes in RCTW.

  • Campaign - You can set which place where you start and you can set your starting money. This is a realistic simulation of building a theme park, as you have to manage your expenses, income and profit. Also, buildings have maintenance costs so try to build some facilities, such as food places and toilets, and a couple of rides to start you off.
  • Scenario - The developers create challenges for you, such as the first one is where you need to take a successful park higher. The money you have is set, and you can freely edit the park with that money, just remember that you have assignments to follow. These usually last for about 1 year game time.
  • Sandbox - To create your dream park you can use this mode. You have unlimited money, meaning you can pretty much do whatever you want in game and get whatever you want to make your park look good.

Building tools[edit | edit source]

In the building menu, the player has many tools available. These include items, such as rides, that can be placed for the guests to utilize them, as well as terrain modification.

  • Paths - There are a wide variety of paths available to place so that guests can easily walk around the park. In RollerCoaster Tycoon World, paths can curve at any angle, but in the other editions, they can only be placed as squares that fit into the park grid.
  • Scenery - Guests don't use scenery directly, but having scenery throughout the park will increase the park's rating and scenery placed near rides will often increase the ride's excitement and make guests more likely to go on that ride.
  • Buildings - You can choose from sub sections for Staff, Info, Shops and Food/Drink places. Then you can select a building and place it around your park.
  • Rides - There are a variety of rides players can choose from to place in the park.
  • Coasters - Coasters are a special type of ride that the player can create a custom track with or use a pre-made one.
  • Modify terrain - The player has the ability to modify terrain, such as adding water, waterfalls, hills, and holes.
  • Park expansion - The park can be expanded using the park expansion tool.
  • Removing items - Players can delete any item that they placed in the park using this tool.

Tips[edit | edit source]

  • When creating your park for the first time close the park, so peeps do not come in and rate the park bad for lack of content.
  • Remember to adjust the settings when you first play, as by default the graphics are set to high.
  • A good way to go around making rides is make sure you have a variety of ride types, this will keep peeps for longer, and will mean there is something for everyone. If you create a theme with only one genre or type of ride, you will only get a certain amount of peeps, and some will leave early.

RollerCoaster Tycoon World is a theme park construction and management simulationvideo game developed by Nvizzio Creations and published by Atari for Microsoft Windows. It is the fourth major installment in the RollerCoaster Tycoon series. The game was released on November 16, 2016.

Gameplay[edit]

Players are able to build rides, shops and roller coasters, while monitoring elements such as budget, visitor happiness and technology research. Unlike RollerCoaster Tycoon 4 Mobile, the game does not include any micro-transactions.[1] Similar to RollerCoaster Tycoon 3, the game features 3D graphics instead of the 2D isometric style of the first two installments in the series. When building roller coasters, the game makes use of a spline system instead of the old style of laying individual pieces. Players are also allowed to 'ride' the roller coasters they have created, and other rides they have placed in their park in the game, in either a first or third-person view. A new 'Park Pulse' mechanic was also introduced, allowing players to quickly find out how their park is doing and the customers' thoughts, similar to Zoo Tycoon titles.[2]

The game contains several scenery and ride themes at launch, with more in development that will be released via free updates and paid expansion packs.[3][4] The game also introduces an 'Architect mode', allowing players to plan and layout the coaster's model before constructing the coasters. Similar to the past installments, there are four different types of coasters available to build: steel, inverted, wooden, and launch-track coasters. In addition, there are ten roller coasters per type. Coasters can be built freeform or the player can place pre-made designs into their park.[5]Unlike in the previous games, the roller coaster train may fly off the tracks if the roller coaster is built incorrectly. As a result, a new 'safety-rating' option and medical staff has been added. User-generated content (including custom scenery) was available from release, as well as Steam Workshop support.[6] While terrain and environments are randomly generated in a map, players can still gain access to a terrain editor.[7]

Development[edit]

When Atari announced RollerCoaster Tycoon 4 Mobile, they also promised that a title for Windows was also being developed.[8] The game was officially announced during Gamescom 2014 with a teaser trailer, subtitled World.[9] The first screenshots and details of the game were revealed during PAX Prime 2014. Part way through development, Area 52 Games took over as the developer of the game from Pipeworks Software. The reasoning behind this has not yet been published by Atari, who announced the change along with the relaunch of the RollerCoaster Tycoon website. The game was due for release in early 2015, although it was revealed that they would not announce an official launch date until closer to the release of the game.[10] A closed alpha was also in development.[7] A new trailer showing gameplay was uploaded on March 5, 2015, showing an intro featuring real life POV footage of Goliath and Colossus at Six Flags Magic Mountain.[11]

Atari later revealed that a third developer had taken over from Area 52 Games, later confirmed to be Nvizzio Creations.[12] At the NVIDIA booth on PAX Prime 2015, Atari unveiled interactive gameplay for the game showing off their development build that featured coaster building and sandbox mode. On September 29, 2015, it was announced the release date would be December 10, 2015.[13][14] Two beta weekends preceded the release of the game. The first beta weekend was the last weekend of October and this beta was focused on the new spline-based Coaster Builder.[15] The first beta weekend took place as planned. However, feedback from this beta weekend led to Atari deciding to delay the game's release to early 2016.[16] The developer noted the additional development time would allow them to add requested items and features such as “predefined piece” coaster building, additional coaster test feedback, a robust fencing tool, improved on-demand grid, and various smaller improvements.' Consequently, the second beta weekend was also delayed from November to December.[17]

Release[edit]

Atari had decided that its theme park game, RollerCoaster Tycoon World, would be launched into Early Access on 30 March, instead of going with a full release. The early access release was met with negative reviews, mostly complaining about the poor graphics, coaster builder, lack of detail, and ride animations.[18] In November 2016, Atari announced that the game will be released on November 16, 2016, one day before Planet Coaster's release.[19]

The game was available for both standard and deluxe editions. The deluxe edition contained two additional maps, terrain texture additions, a digital art book, a gold park entrance, and the panda mascot from the previous games.[20][21]

Pre-release[edit]

A trailer released by Atari containing gameplay of RollerCoaster Tycoon World was received poorly by critics and fans.[24][25][26] Some critics noted that the game appears graphically worse than 2004's RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 and that it 'looks little better than a basic mobile game.'[27] Atari later issued a statement that the game was still in 'pre-alpha' stages, and that the graphics were not yet coded to their full resolution and would also receive a major overhaul when the game's engine is upgraded from Unity 4.6 to Unity 5.0. They also promised that the new visuals would be of higher definition and higher level of realism.[28]

Release[edit]

The release of RollerCoaster Tycoon World was met with negative reactions by critics. According to review aggregatorMetacritic, the game holds a score of 43 out of 100, based on seven reviews.[22]

Eurogamer suggested to avoid the game, comparing the game to a 'car-crash into an orphanage for bush-babies.'[23]

TechRaptor rated the game a 1/10, citing the large interface and variety of bugs and glitches within the game.[29]
