Game News Atari teases a new Roller Coaster Tycoon game

[Whisky]

Tags: Atari; Roller Coaster Tycoon

Atari lives and appears to be teasing a new Roller Coaster Tycoon game on their Facebook page.

Before you get excited though, it should be noted that the hashtag they used for the post is #RCT4M. Speculation is that the M stands for Mobile and the comments are filled with people who are begging Atari for it to be a PC (And console) game.

Of course it's mobile, that's what Atari said they'd do if they'd ever survive their latest shitstorm.

... m... mobile?

Well, in theory, a mobile rollercoaster game could turn out well.

In practice, this will just be another legacy to be raped, Dungeon Keeper style.
The thought of having in-game purchases for more rides will just be too tempting.

Nonsense. Just because most mobile devs could not pull it off, doesn't mean that the right people would also fail.
Hell, if there is one thing touch interfaces like tablets could be good for in games, it is strategy games.

But I guess I'm talking to a wall, because all mobile gaming is shit, yadda yadda.

Well yes, it's shit. I don't know a single good mobile game, their target audience are always mainstream slobbering retards.

Many Final Fantasy (and similar) games on mobile. They're JRPGs so obviously not something for everyone, but they are as good at being JRPGs as the other FF games (the old ones, before the series started to suck). If you liked playing FF on earlier handhelds, you will like those, as well.

Machines At War is said to be pretty good, too.
And there are other good strategy games.

Baldur's Gate: EE runs on mobiles.
Speaking of remakes, emulators run on mobiles, so every type of game running there via emulator could obviously work as a new game. Also, some good strategy games have seen their remake on mobiles.

There are quite a lot of good adventure games like Gemini Rue.

And some of the billions of casual games on there are also pretty good (the 1% that is not a total f2p bullshit ripoff). At being casual games, of course, so if you don't like those at all...

Most mobile games suck terribly, of course, and the more free-to-play and "with online-gaming" they are, the more they suck. And unfortunately, those define the unwashed masses' image of mobile gaming.
But still, there are good ones. And no amount of mindless "mobile always sucks"-brabble will change that.

Oh, btw. there is software like BlueStacks that lets you play mobile games on PC, so if you dislike the small screen and finger interaction on mobiles, it's worth a shot.

 

[General Maxson]

I hate JRPGs.

Point and click adventures and Baldur's Gate are just ports and not made for mobile (and I agree they're good, but as I said they're just ports).

Again BlueStacks could be great if there were great games that I miss on PC. But point and click adventures and baldur's gate and even RTSs are superior in their desktop versions in every aspect.

Before you get excited though, it should be noted that the hashtag they used for the post is #RCT4M.
