Out of all these new games, Parkitect looks the best to me. Just something I can play on and off and keep in a window while I do other stuff, that's what RCT did for me.

My impressions so far is that Parkitect is the best recreation of the classic games, Planet Coaster is the "next gen" of rollercoaster games, and RCTW is just making GBS threads all over an established franchise's name.

This is pretty much what my thoughts are, except I want both Parkitect and Planet Coaster pretty bad, but in both cases I'm making myself wait till the management sim aspect is put into place, because that's super important for me.

Yeah same. At the moment the game feels like a "paint a park" sandbox experience, but I'm fairly poo poo at that so I want to do the thing I'm good at and enjoy more than any reasonable person should: balance some loving books

Really hope the Steam release comes with a couple built in scenarios/parks to play around with. The game is already pretty fun, but I'm not a big fan of starting with a completely blank slate.

Back to Planet Coaster, Frontier did their first livestream about alpha 2 yesterday. This one deals with changes to guests and pathing after player feedback from alpha 1.

Someone gifted me Parkitect, but I also got the pre-alpha. I'm a dummy and activated it on Steam using the gift already. Would I be able to give away my Steam key from the pre-alpha?

if you haven't redeemed it on Steam, yeah, nothing ties that to your Steam account until it's redeemed so you can give it to whoever

Seriously.

Actually you know one thing I'd really like to see either game do with the management side of things? Let scenery be free so you can actually afford to screw around with it outside of sandbox mode.

Seeing Mt.Rushmore was that for me. And I suspect the Star Destroyer park they talked about in the movie will somehow one-up it.

Educate. Agitate. Liberate.
Planet Coaster question.

Will we be able to ride our own rides like we can in RCT3?

It seems obvious, but I can't find anything on the official site, their forums, or videos. It would be weird if they didn't have the functionality, but then :frontear:

Also, I'm not sure what to think about this: https://forums.planetcoaster.com/showthread.php/5429-LGBTQ-content-planned

Why is that even a big deal in TYOOL 2016?
