pretty hard to believe that planco 1 is "only" 12 years apart from RCT3, while Planco 2 is 8 years apart from Planco 1 lol. PC1 and PC2 look very similar, albite 2 having better lighting, but that's essentially it. the concept is the same. RCT3 however is like from the stone age compared to PC1. loved playing RCT3 as a kid tho, but never managed to achieve what i was planning on. now at 28 years old with PC2 and some Archviz knowledge, i can finally do it hahaha (albite feeling guilty while doing so since i got adult things to do )

It is really weird when you think about the differences between the 3 games! It’s also really cool to think about how far games have come in such a short amount of time. Keep playing Planet Coaster, adult-things can wait! 🎢

Nice video. How i loved playing RCT3 as a kid..aww the memories

Optimization and performance is a pretty big one that Planet Coaster fails in. Once your park is thriving and robust, the game becomes unplayably slow on more modest systems. The Cobra engine just isn't optimized for late-game parks. RCT3 on the other hand, aided by it's age, will be pretty much locked at 60fps at all times. Great video, keep it up.

[@ducklops]

I agree with you - my system is pretty beefy, and every single time I open my biggest park, I sit at 17 FPS for a solid 2 minutes. The park isn't even that big!! My RCT3 park is significantly bigger, and consistently achieves a high framerate.

2:26 We also have to remind that RCT3 has a lot of personalized content by fans (CFR's), so in addition to a greater number of rides, we also have personalized content that Includes several recent and real-life rides and even their variations. (Even though it is difficult to find this content nowadays :P) Awesome video! 🎢❤

[@ducklops]

YES! That’s a great shout that I forgot to include!! Also I’m glad you enjoyed my video 😀

[@ThrillsofColdplay]

I love that RCT3 is broken in the best way

[@ducklops]

I agree 😂😂

[@ThrillsofColdplay]

I love both

[@ducklops]

Me too! If you had to pick, which would you say is your favourite?

[@ThrillsofColdplay]

You should have done music

[@ducklops]

Good shout! I love the soundtrack of Planet Coaster tbf

[@fishykid]

I don't want to ride Poo right now

[@ducklops]

Brown was a very tasteful colour choice in my opinion. 💩

Planet Coaster is too hard for me..I wish roller coaster tycoon classic will be upgrade like RCT 3 with pools and animal zoo in it.. i love the pixel graphic in RCT classic and mobile version.. it's still my no.1 healing game..

[@ducklops]

The graphics in the original RCT game is definitely one of my favourite things about it. If they updated it with all the content of RCT3 it would be GREAT! I agree with you! Also, thanks for commenting ☺️

[@ViviGame-o8u]

@ducklops my pleasure..and I heard that Atari has bought the rights to Rollercoaster Tycoon 3 from developer Frontier. So hopefully there will be more update. Nice channel by the way. Keep it up.

[@ducklops]

Thanks a lot! Yeah I was just reading about that the other day. $7million! I bought my copy for like £5 when it was on sale - they should’ve just waited until the Steam Summer Sale!
