Old or New

[Greeny]

When they were making TT2 they stubled over Roller Coster tycoon but Did they dump the TT2 or did they use it to make locomotion?

[JamesM]

The TT2 engine became rollercoaster tycoon. That engine then became RCT2 and now Locomotion. So basically with many improvements and additions, locomotion will be based on that TT2 game he started work on all those years ago.

[Born Acorn]

the engine was barely improved for RCT 2, just some interface additions and some removals of features (like research upgrades)

[Bart]

But you don't know that for sure, since you have only seen screenshot from an alpha version, not a release candidate

[JamesM]

Ah but Bart, it's fun to make assumptions and criticise the sequal to the best ever transport game for no apparent reason.

[Bart]

But why? Every so-called sequel to the best game ever doesn't even stand a chance...

(even more if you see what a failure Transport Giant is...)

hello the people of the wrold:

I see that someone is already knocking a game that has not been released where this person lives at. I will state one thing I have every game done by Jowood that has the name of Giant in it as for the new game I like it very much and I have the German version of course. I know how other people put down games because they may not like.
in my own mind I think that Locomotion is a huge disaster waiting to happen.

thank you

And the TT2 engine is really just a hyped up version of the TT engine, so the circle is complete now

just some interface additions and some removals of features (like research upgrades)

Hmm I thought that screen was still there??

That was me dude

Anyways, I played the demo, and that's how I judge games. If this is how Jowood wants people to see how the game really is, I would say it sucks...

As for Locomotion; you're probably right, but let's hope for the best, as this is actually a said-to-be succesor

Nah gotta disagree on you on that point. Transport Giant isn't that much of a failure. Its just that people have high hopes for that game and it doesnt meet up to their standards. TTDX is hard to beat face it but that doesn't make other less succesful games bad. Of course if thats your opinion there aint much I can do about it At least give the 2nd demo a shot, which should be around in 2 weeks time.

Furthermore people judge Locomotion far too fast. It may not stress your video card at all but perhaps the gameplay really rocks and nobody would care. I mean, you guys still play TTDX even though the graphics are rock-old.

Lets just hope they'd improve the gfx a bit in the remaining 2 moths

Transport Gigant isn't a TTD sequel...

[Born Acorn]

gonewacko, all the rides in rct2 came with the improvements already installed so you couldn't research upgrades.

Shame really


Locomotion will be an amazing game as the rct engine is actually a great thing.

Really I just want all the objects smoothed out, don't care about the colours.

Transport Gigant isn't a TTD sequel...

My words exactly

[Gurluas2000]

Transport Gigant isn't a TTD sequel...

My words exactly

oh yeag... but it has no failure.. just sum bugs and downtimes easily fixed with patch... the other + with transport giant is u start at 1850... missing featurein ttd thats bugs me out...

[Villem]

TTD is TEN years old, and for me 1921-2070 or was it 1921-2050 with TTDpatch is enough, and without 1950-2050 is enough to.

[Born Acorn]

I'm straying away from TG, since its too German/Austrian trainwise, as the trains aren't available yet and in 1850 in Britain, a rail network was already in place. Everything is imbalanced and yet the USA get a whole scenario dedicated to them.

[Mystic]

I tried the demo for Transport Giant. It's pretty good. But I have to admit that I was one of those people whose hopes were set too high for a modern type version of Transport Tycoon, and was let down to find out that the game wasn't more like Transport Tycoon, even though it's not supposed to be...

I must say the horses and carriage options were a nice change in this game. I'll probably get the full version when it gets released to get the full effect before I pass any judgement.

Transport Tycoon Deluxe is probably one of, if not the best game that I've ever played; and this also includes SimCity. I play TTDX more often than the original SimCity, which I haven't played in months, but TTDX I played just recently. And I'll probably play again this evening. (It sure helped me get through those computer classes on the old 486's we used to take notes last year, but I used it for other purposes as well, such as a nice game of TTDX! ... 3-4 hours/day for 6 months, and I made a huge transportation network, probably one of my best efforts, and all of this while class was on.

[Gurluas2000]

1921 istn enuff...1950 is totally boredom... i like more a loooooong game... and 200 years make me fell sweet.
beside i dislike ttd... i prefer tto.

[SHADOW-XIII]

Gurluas2000 I wonder what has got TTO that TTD does not have

[Lilman424]

crappy signalling, and greener grass >_>
