Future Roadmap for Planet Coaster 2 revealed!

[@tagi3d]

My top wish list may be different from most but focuses mainly on the guests... 1 - more guest interactions, peeps gasp at scenery, take selfies, climb structures, better weather impact, water fight play, play arcade machines, photobooths, >>> make the park feel alive! 2 - animatronic creator controls: more freedom of angle, programmed timing etc, proper sequencing with easing, hidden motors, interaction with guests (let them press buttons). 3 - more freedom with things like invisible / scenery paths and lower overlap tolerances so we can create more interesting vertical layouts. 4 - Shows for guests, stunts, animal displays etc 5 - and of course fix all the bugs / issues the common player is complaining about to get the user base back (and add those base themes). The custom media, etc and all the nominated roadmap items I'm cool with, but the above would really excite me.

[@AskMeWhen]

I’m *hoping* billboards will be scalable instead of preset sizes.

[@AG7-MTM]

Perhaps on the topic of improved guest interactions we could see fun stories like the two teens featured in the launch and release trailers? Am I the only one that caught that little detail?

[@maxbos6659]

Great list i also would want like new swing launches and more customizable special track pieces

[@jdkr97]

This game needs the hotels, restaurants, custom shops, the security mechanic, more animatronics and decor elements, etc. They need to get closer to what Planet Coaster was.

[@jdkr97]

And snow weather

[@richmueluk9743]

Its unfathomable how all this stuff was missing - we expected progression not regression.

[@FrappeInsider]

and a major repair of the pathing system and the gameplay which the pathing was so difficult it forced me to stop playing

[@fla5273]

would be great to have more animatronics and decor and a functional game. I would be happy with that and it would be great if you change things in a coaster like a retheme the prestige is set back to new

[@stephenmisener1659]

They forgot a sequel is meant to be well a sequel. It has to be on par or better, it cannot be worse or missing things from the first. They release this game 2 years too early imo. It feels like an alpha of the game. But considering how they revealed their sales numbers and figures im not so sure this game is going to get the support it needs. They very well may do the city skylines 2 approach.

[@GregGibbs-nd1rt]

I really want to see flat rides that actually are in amusement parks… the Flying Scooters, Rocktopus without bubbles, Scrambler, dark ride scenery, I also really wish they could give the log flumes & rapids a makeover

[@rAndy_883]

I’d bring back: - Pirates theme - Western theme - Sci-Fi theme - Medieval theme - Adventure theme - Spooky theme - Movies theme I’d be happy also if they were released by DLCs.

[@7empest376]

Im With you it be nice to have all that in this game too...

[@RavenEleven11]

Im just mad that they have released an unfinished game, and had the audacity to already release dlc. A sequel to a sandbox game should at least have the same facilities as the first game, then seeing the amount of scenery items were missing like glass. For me frontier has really broken my trust in them. The only way to get me back is to make this feel like a true planet coaster 2 and not a 1,5 it is now

[@RyRy2312]

I’ll second that

[@stephenmisener1659]

Im glad i waited to make my purchase. I was very excited and once i started seeing all the early footage a week or so before launch i realized this game was not gonna do well. They absolutely released an alpha version and called it finished. This game needs a solid 2 more years in dev.

[@MrCow579]

I really need them to release working hotels and restaurants. I feel like the game will be revived in player-count after the upcoming big update. Once they start adding scenery from PC1, a majority of PC1 players will make the transfer.

[@jdkr97]

And custom shops like planet zoo

[@CKMCardesign]

This is my top 3 things as well! But I realy dont think they care about these 3. Thats the feeling I get trying to get answers on it from devs. And after that I could make a list of 100 things I would like to see.

[@mitchtellers2547]

​@CKMCardesign Compared to the other issues, I see Hotels and Restaurants as more low priority...and quite imperfect from the old games. I think both features could do with a complete overhaul to make them fully fleshed out instead of plopping down blank cubes everywhere.

[@CKMCardesign]

@@mitchtellers2547 Well better than nothing like now when they RARELY even sit at tables and when they do the food even disapears and they sit for like only 10 seconds. And when they leave the food reapears like magic.

[@andrewpayne5093]

Hotels would be great in planet zoo. Imagine you can charge guests extra money to stay in your zoo overnight and when they use it it will fill all their needs.

[@SketchyAnt]

This game absolutely needs sideshows, or midway games as you say. To me, those sorts of games are like the equivalent to what exhibits are in Planet Zoo. Bring the essentials in an update, then give us a new midway game/sideshow with each dlc. They would be great for decorating as well. Could get a test of strength game decorated in any and every style.

[@SousaphoneMusic]

honestly they need to make being in the game and playing it more fun. All the new systems like the paths and scenery have become more powerful but also more complex. It's great for creators but it makes building anything very frustrating and slow. The time and effort in between having a cool idea and building that is just too much for most people. Besides that they absolutely need to fix the economy and actual game elements. Prices guests are willing to pay seem very weird and make no sense from ride to ride/shop to shop let alone being balanced from a gameplay perspective. Also all the power/water mechanics are basically just busywork and forces you into hiding it with scenery; meaning you're wasting time building power sheds instead of building cool rides for your guests.

[@dimitrisgaranatsis]

@@SousaphoneMusic You can still use simple paths, you don't have to use the complex building

[@יהונתןצוראריה]

someone needs to say this: The themes are AWFUL, once they bring back the original themes or atleast 2 of them it will become so much better

[@Lazerus101]

They desperately need to fix the plethora of bugs, glitches and weird quirks. People don't want to play it, because the game feels woefully unfinished, and I'm not talking about content.

[@csch9298]

Parade route path type. Works as a normal path until parade time when guests line up just before to watch the parade. Sequencer type controls for the floats, vehicles, marching bands, dancers, etc.

[@ztolts6899]

1. Guests to interact with what i build 2. A “HIGH SPEED” switch track

[@ik6uf8xd3e]

Just a lot more themes and props, the game looks great with some big exemptions. The foliage always moving like there is a hurricane breaks the inmersion, they need to fix this. But the biggest problem for me is there is just not enough props and themes, I want the European Fairytale theme, the World's fair theme, the Pirates theme, even something like a Mayan or Aztec theme would be super cool, like an Indiana Jones kind of props.

[@trainboy7]

I'd bring back the Western and Movie Theme, Hotels, restaurants, and Street Fox Coffee.

[@MSSynthwave]

I was thinking the same about Themes

[@loogoo]

I would also love to see the Spooky and World's Fair themes make a comeback. So versatile for creating a much wider variety of architectural styles.

[@garrettbuell3172]

Parades and other scheduled shows would be huge. I also would like the character creator interface to be used to create custom human animatronics.

[@ThrillsofColdplay]

I really want to be able to comment on the Frontier Workshop Creations

[@RudiRennkamel]

YES! thats actually a very good point. I don´t mind the workshop but interaction would be nice

[@brunobraganca]

They should bring in simulators and parades! I also would love franchise mode to be more region specific rather than only a biome matter. Temperature, audience interests and economics could have a bigger impact on decisions to where the franchise should expand.

[@RudiRennkamel]

Simulatory ofc

[@Serenov.a]

This would be so fun!

[@KaiRubix]

It needs to be on par with the first game. Bring back hotels and also do restaurants from planet zoo. Also have the same coaster types as the original game.

[@AlfaShockk]

I would love to see an option where if I choose not to put supports on the tracks, I can create a support for myself, and it will respond to the physics of the dawn whether the track will hold or not.

[@יהונתןצוראריה]

Its a good idea, but they will never make it

[@BozzyBuilds]

I love your logistic ideas around entrances and cleaning systems. I really want to create entertainment shows!

[@KruemelGaming]

Was mir wirklich komplett fehlt ist ein richtiger Winter, Indoor Shows, Restaurants, Hotels und funktionierende Abstellgleise je nach Auslastung der Bahn... Aber diesem Wunsch weine ich schon seit RCT 3 nach :D

[@megaplexXxHD]

Das mit den abstellgleisen wäre auch in bezug zu management einfach so geil! Ich verstehe ja das planet coaster nicht versucht eine komplette realistische simulatione zu sein, aber es wäre halt echt ein cooles feature. Dann müsste man auch die wartung jeder einzelnen wägen im auge behalten und nicht nur einfach die komplette bahn selbst

[@richt.7594]

I still play PC2 nearly every day on Xbox Series S. For me, the answer is easy: More themes, more animatronics and more food/drink venues will keep me coming back. I like your suggestions, and agree that for many players, resort infrastructure additions could be a big selling point. But for me, playing mostly in Creative Sandbox mode, I just want to build fun attractions and beautiful scenery and watch the guests have a good time. I don’t mind faking the restaurants and hotels with facades. I agree midway games would be a blast. Dear Frontier: please bring back from PC1 the crowd reactions to mascot performances, the photo spots, and the security guards- all of which help make the parks feel alive. Also, I miss Rocktopus, the claw machines, the barbershop quartet, and all the old themes, especially Western, Vintage and Fairytale - particularly the Knights and Dragons! :D Please just keep the content flowing; I will happily buy any DLC packs you release.

[@csch9298]

Walk thru attraction path type. Guest stop and look at scenes along the walk thru.

[@csch9298]

Wide array of train and vehicle types for coasters and track rides. Ex: Classic cars, race cars, moon buggies, jungle trucks on the car driving track ride.

[@atoortiz]

Rudi, I think the biggest hit of all and by far would be an entertainment system! Imagine creating buildings or open areas where you can create your own shows with dancers, mascots, effects, etc. Another big thing we all want is parades, where you could create your own fleets. What about meet and greet attractions with their own queue and interactions. We could even have special events like Halloween or Christmas seasonal events with special entertainment and attractions. All of these is by far the biggest potential for the game as resorts are already in Planco 1 in a way but there other things are not in the game and are an essential part of theme parks.

[@xXXKayaraXxx]

You CAN create your own parades. People are already doing that and there’s at least parade contest going on rn

[@justaguycommenting]

1. Fix the bugs 2. Release FREE DLC of all the original Planco 1 themes/entertainers etc. 3. Hotels/Restaurants Then I'll be back.

[@skycat196]

I am in a different category, I know a lot of games on release have issues so I have been waiting to buy until the bugs are worked out and some new interesting DLC. I play Planet Zoo and my favorite part is building the guest areas vs the animal habitats. So I think PC2 is right up my alley and from watching creators there are so many build improvements, but I'm waiting for more content.

[@megaplexXxHD]

I think its clear as day now that the planet coaster 2 release was a huge flop. And its all on frontier, they did this to us and themself. Now im not one that gets mad about a flopped release and never plays that game again, im to much of themepark nerd also. However if frontier doesnt deliver with the next updates i will consider this franchise dead and will also move on. I do have a little hope left but yeah, i guess we will have to see what the future brings. Mal schauen, was wird… was wird😂

[@chropinionmb]

Wir freuen uns 🙃

[@megaplexXxHD]

@@JakeSoulFreeTravels you mean the first game? Or the first update? Sry i dont understand what you mean exactly

[@megaplexXxHD]

@@JakeSoulFreeTravels the first game is perfectly fine. Its just lacking a more simple path tool and the more modern roller coaster technologies. But you can def have a lot of fun in that one especially with all the dlc you basically have a piece for everything you looking for. Spent about 4k hours in that game 😅

[@megaplexXxHD]

@ i dont know what you are trying to make a point of. nowhere did i claim to be a master or that my opinion is valued more than others 😂😂😂

[@csch9298]

Street Trolley cars with rails down pathways.

[@hyrulian1000]

The themes don't personally excite me. Bring back the old teams then I'll be happy

[@Mr.Esposito]

You're all right, the game needs to offer more. My first shock was when I saw that everyone was talking about the great graphics, but the building elements are still very bad. Walls look like they are made of steel and only have a graphiti like bamboo for example, they have no structure. Furthermore, overlapping elements (walls, beams...) still flicker. I also wonder why visitors in bikinis and swimming trunks run through the entire park and ride the carousel. So, I invested almost 1000€ in my PC for this game and was looking forward to a great further development of PC1, but unfortunately I only got this PC2. I deleted the game and I only follow the videos on youTube. I hope that there might be a point later on where it's worth to reinstalling the game.

[@slsuo86]

Für mich ist planco2 perfekt... Wie schon die themengebiete aus 1, sowie doppelt so grosse Karten im sandbox,sowie hotels und alle! Flache fahrten aus planco 1...für mich das beste Spiel aller zeiten

[@csch9298]

Parade routes and times. Customizable floats, bands, vehicles, etc.

[@nathanfordham920]

It's going to be like this. Issue is the devs keep putting out these games that are bare bones and want DLC to sell the game. It's terrible and sad. Just got to stop buying into this pratice. $59.99 for a game and having $10 to $20 of DLC as a way to milk us is stupid. And most of the content isnt gaming changing.

[@csch9298]

Customizable screens which are animated: banners, ship sails, flags, etc.

[@Deavild]

Rudi ! Je partage tellement tes sentiments sur le jeu et j'ai hâte de voir la suite du developpement du Jeu ! Pour moi Planet Coaster 2 n'est en réalité qu'une Alpha à l'heure actuellement ! Vraiment hâte de voir le développement du jeu fini !

[@WellMaybeIGuessSo]

I would love if they added more specials to flumes, like (tailspins, FlyingSaucers, Small Triple Funnels etc.) and if they spread the specials over all different tube and raft flumes.

[@pwcorgi2000]

I'm very annoyed about the piece count limit on consoles. I would really like to have elevators and maybe escalators.

[@Tgc-k6u]

The piece count is really annoying I am on ps5 it can be cheated I have ran mine to over 160% (although it’s not without issues that are not to do with the game running) and the game was running absolutely fine so I can’t see why it’s such a small limit they could safely add 30-40% to the complexity piece count and it would be absolutely fine

[@coasterscore3064]

I’m just a bit irritated that we still don’t have all the next gen rollercoasters even tho it’s a modern game. And Iam so confused why they don’t ad transfer tracks 😣

[@Dawn.Marigold]

For me, first that they make the game playable without frustrations. This will be a very hard thing, but like I've stated on a video of sdanwolf, first start with the color tool. It's very annoying that pieces don't keep colours, if you pick another item of the same type it's back to default colours, you go back to the piece you just used, it's at default colours. You copy a piece already placed on the park, it's in default colours. It drives me crazy. Then i still have the i would love to see water rides not feeling like they are on rails, but free moving through the layout. And a last thing that I've personally had with any planet game so far. I love building, but I find it very hard to find a start anywhere on those flat open maps they always have outside of the campaign. I would love a seed generated map with some natural formation of forest/grassland, water (in the form of rivers/lakes) and hills. I know there are community uploaded ones on the hub, but that doesn't do it for me

[@csch9298]

Path based lite transit: Horse and buggy rides, tuc tucs, fire truck rides, hay wagon rides, Cinderella coaches, all on invisible routes on the pathways. Horse trolley on Main Street USA.

[@tcs.78]

I had this idea of ​​updating, there are the workers' schedule calendars and well I thought about reimplementing them but this time if for the park we place events which will happen during the opening days closing shows closing attractions,...

[@fabulousk9014]

The function to walk together with friends through parks (in 1st and 3rd person) with my own charakter. A really good manager mode with realism would also be good. But planco 2 just really feels like a planco 1 with mods

[@csch9298]

Projectors for mapping on to our buildings, etc.

[@Nel8571]

Before release, I was dreaming to build a water park. Then I built a water park, people are not visiting except for the first day. This gave me the largest disappointment. Haven't gone back the game after that. Don't know whether it has been fixed/changed.

[@Red_Ryan_Red]

Yeah that feeling just sucks

[@csch9298]

Classic bucket style cable car ride. Ski lift hill version too.

[@chropinionmb]

What I need to enjoy PC2 as much as PC1: - custom images, videos and music - more scenery objets and themes - a better UI - more shops - hotels & restaurants - more rides - ...

[@csch9298]

Good animal animations for standing, walking, trotting, etc. Horses, ponies, elephants, camels, oxen, etc. Used to pull wagons, etc.

[@csch9298]

Stunt shows, arena events. Via sequencer.

[@sxchamps]

I feel like a lot of content creators on youtube have been really negative about it. Comparing it a lot to Planet Zoo. I think the improved pathing has been huge upgrade over the Planet Coaster 1. If creators built it up instead of bashing everything about it, maybe we wouldn't see such a rapid decline in players. I do think they released the game prematurely, and needed some improvements but overall, I thought they upgraded a lot with the building aspect of it all. The content creators isn't directed at you specifically, Just in general. You at least give constructive criticism with ideas to help improve it. instead of "This game is bad" Hopefully we can see more people playing the game because it has a lot of potential.

[@RudiRennkamel]

I see your point but people should be able to decide themselves eventually. 😊

[@fabulousk9014]

Yeah I think that's actually one if the biggest points. There just isn't that much great content to planco 2 from creators. I would have loved to see all the big ones coming back and making awesome realistic parks. Bust most of the started with a water park I wasn't interested in at all and then kinda stopped their output. I dreamt of the moment for years that people will come back from planzoo🫥 and we will get proper theme park let's plays again 😅

[@fabulousk9014]

​@@RudiRennkamelI think he also means, that content creators doesn't spark joy towards the game so people also don't love to watch their content as much

[@JakeSoulFreeTravels]

What's wrong with the first one? I don't see a reason to purchase or play 2?

[@jamessdavis5201]

I used to be a quality assurance tester in the game industry and it's my professional opinion the game was released too early.

[@csch9298]

Drones and drone shows, via sequencer.

[@jasperw2210]

They sold an early access game as a full game. It just doesn't have the quality of a full release, too much is missing and too much is wrong and then that DLC was a really bad move. Now the game is slowly getting better with every update but whether it will be the salvation to get people back remains to be seen.

[@gabrielbuj]

I’m one of those who is back in Planet Zoo after a 45h try at PC2. I believe the thing that comes back again and again is CONTENT. Themes, scenary pieces, blueprints, stalls, gift shops, restaurants, staff rooms detailed, security, animatronics… Of course not every single item we saw in Planet Zoo or PC1, but at least a big share of. Then of course polishing the game with bug fixes and so on, like ride attendants, flume physics, so on… And only then start focusing in new content, like hotels, parades, backpacks… If it was already developped for PC1 and PZ, it’s not easy to understand why so much content and mechanics are left behind.

[@micogame09]

I agree with point. The players which the game has lost won’t come back. I know that because i am one of them. I bought the pre order version.. till i start seeing content creators play the early access version a week before the release. It made me mad because 1- the game was ready then why the delay 2- i was disappointed with the water slides physics 3- the guest of the park were focusing on the water parks and neglecting the coasters (like the larger portion) 4- load and unload platforms At this point I refunded the game before I tried my self I waited for them to fix the game but it took them long time to bring the physics from roller coaster 3 A very old game produced by a studio they acquired. And when i saw the news that they are working on a fix .. they released a new dlc in a month or less from the release of the game And to answer ur question: What will make come back is 1) they need to fix the game .. less crashes and low percentage of bugs which wont effect my gameplay since all games have bugs 2) a new free feature from the ones u suggested. 3) i need to feel like they aren’t after my money As the game really have potential.. till then i keep playing planet zoo

[@hendrikwirtz8418]

I played PC2 for a couple days. I stopped playing but never asked myself why. This video captures it pretty good. A huge update, for free of course, containing gastronomie, hotels, spawn points and logistics would bring me back. Also wind turbines for electricity generation and delivery and garbage vehicles would be great.

[@csch9298]

Animatronics should have 5 to 10 animations of each character type, like planco1 had.

[@csch9298]

Photographers and Photo Spots. Dump jpegs onto the captures folder.

[@Th0ughtCrimes]

A lot of the content in planet coaster 1 needs to come to planet coaster 2. Pirate, spooky, studios, ect. The munsters and Ghostbusters pack not being a thing is understandable. Make the parks bigger, the terrain tools involving water is a double edged sword.

[@mitchtellers2547]

Speaking of licensed DLC, a Jurassic World Evolution tie-in would be an insta-buy.

[@grimlockplay7854]

In my opinion, everything from the old planet coaster should have been included in the new part. I mean all the themes and rides and coasters, and to be honest, I'm super mad at Frontiers if a second part of a game series comes out then it should be clear that everything is from predecessor should be included and not how you did it, hopefully you understand it that way too

[@Marc.B111]

3:18 I don't play it that often.....but that doesn't mean I will never play it again (Planet Coaster unfortunately isn't an option anymore because I'm not able to run it without cooking my computer...strangely it works with Planet Coaster 2). It's just the case that there are so many pieces missing, that I would consider to be important. Basically all the stuff we had in the old game... And in terms of DLCs...one thing I would really wish for is some kind of a Disney-Pack (which could especially include a lot of scenery to recreate these Disneyland parks, like many animatronics, statues, etc). Sure, it would be a licensed pack (which would potentially be more than 9,99...maybe closer to 19,99), but I think that would be some kind of theming this game would need.

[@csch9298]

. . . And finally: a simple Dumbo style spinner, generic so we can theme it up. Can't believe we don't have that yet!

[@katejamesgames]

For me there is no challenge. It's way too easy to make money and way too easy to get a 5* park. I'm a huge fan of PC1 career mode and the different challenges. PC2 it's almost the same every level. Build a few coasters or flumes then get a 5* park. Rinse & repeat.

[@csch9298]

Skip all the administrative and logistics junk until we have a lot of in park experience improvements.

[@csch9298]

Sequencer driven splash pads that kids interact with.

[@cjscerpes]

I can barely get the game to work on PC without crashing, even after the recent hotfix. I can’t load most campaign stages and my sandbox will randomly crash when scrolling menus. I need them to stabilize the game before any more features get added. I’d be happy to come back to the game if I could actually play it

[@prototy]

Honestly it really feels like they just aren’t listening to the people they need to. The inner-tube mechanics are cool but it really does nothing for me in terms of gameplay. Adding new compelling themes, reworking switch tacks to allow entire circuit instead of just a small section of reversed launch track, making flat ride footprints more realistic, adding things in REAL theme parks like restaurants and hotels, interior decoration, and more animatronics are DESPERATELY needed. But everything so far is really lackluster. Additionally they REALLY need to open up the game to modding. Mods could really elevate the experience. I understand a lot of people may not want the park to open and close every day but it would make the experience so much more interesting and real if guests actually left. And you can set rides to close at unique times depending on where the rides are located and how long the queues get

[@FredC83]

I love the game, even though I'm disappointed. I hope the lack of monthly players doesn't make Frontier stop the work of making the game better. But I use the game mostly for relaxation, as I'm not as creative as many people I see here on youtube. Too bad they haven't continued several of the good free updates that have come in Planet Coaster 1 and Planet Zoo. But even those games lack a lot we players have been asking for. I wish Frontier and other game developers listened even more to us who defiantly pay to play the games. But I haven't left the game and have faith in it.

[@Duffster115]

I am not dissipated with the game at all and love it even more than the original already. My Play style is very similar of playing it every here and there for a bit and have seen the amazing talented things others have built but not wanting to sped forever on it I know I won't achieve and just have fun doing to the best of my abitly without spending to much time making my dream park! I have full faith in the game as I myself haven't had much issues at all, and already think its better than the original so more updates fixing whatever going on for others and adding more new things not in the oringal is only going to make things even better.

[@GameDayTarps]

I feel like the complexity meter for parks on console should be more flexible and abit more larger. Almost feels like my parks are not as big as advertised

[@viseone8288]

I really don‘t understand why they still couldn‘t bring us walls that we could declare as a barrier. Why do we still need to hide extra barriers into walls so guests can‘t walk through. Or did i miss a new feature hidden somewhere?

[@eastern0887]

Also, if they really want to bring a lot of people back, it would be really cool to collaborate with a major theme park company for a dlc down the line when the base game is more complete. For example, Disney has many classic attractions that appeal to many audiences, Universal is opening Epic Universe next year and we could see the new ride systems and theming in game, and Alton Towers is popular with European audiences that primarily play the game.

[@BisonEmu1]

As mainly a Planet Zoo fan I'm just hopeful that Frontier learns from their mistakes and the launch for PZ2 goes a lot more smoothly.

[@RudiRennkamel]

agreed

[@TheMoodbeam]

I'm more hopeful that they leave PZ2 for a few more years and carry on adding to PZ1, right now I can't think of anything big enough they could include in PZ2 which would tempt me away from the first game. I'd rather we just get more content (including aviaries) for the original game, we know this game works and is good, I honestly wouldn't trust a sequel at this point.

[@animalplushworld100]

I highly doubt it​@@TheMoodbeam

[@JD.778]

Planet zoo is garbage

[@jamessdavis5201]

The problem now is trust! Frontier has gone on my list of AAA dev that I will never preorder or buy a day 1 game from again!

[@exaulted2331]

I preordered the deluxe version of the game but haven't even launched it yet. My biggest issue with sequels to sandbox games like this is the fact that most studios will gut the item and feature libraries for the second game. I really really wish that *all* of the rides, themes, and mechanics were returning. Excluding them feels bad, like they are saving them to reintroduce in paid DLC which I'm sure isn't the whole story but that's the commonly perceived explanation. I'm not very good at fine detailing with scenery so I do not want to have to cobble together my own themes from the currently available pieces. To pick back up with the park I never finished in the first game, I need pirate, western, and city themes. So all that to say, I'm waiting to start playing the game until more content has come out: more rides, more themes, and potentially more mechanics. I don't want to dive into a huge build until I know all of the options are available to me.

[@waynebaxter8872]

I agree what was said in this video. I love the game but I was disappointed with the lack of content from the first game. The shops don’t function properly guess don’t interact with the tables. The biggest problem is that it crashes all the time and that’s stopped me playing altogether. They should have stuck to the pc release first then console version.

[@alexbm4230]

I think we need the management of a full day, from start till closing.

[@HesperBouw]

Ich bin einer der Vorbesteller und ein langer Fan der Planet-Serie, der sehr schnell die Begeisterung verloren hat, aber ich bin auch jemand der sicher noch zurück kommt, denke ich ;) Ich sehe einiges in PC2 nicht mal so negativ wie es oft in Videos geteilt wird, aber es hat mich nich nicht gepackt. Bei mir hat das Game trotz fehlendem High-End Notebook auch eigentlich gut vun der Performence her funktionniert, hatte also nichtmal einen schlechten Start. Aber es fühlte sich alles wie eine EA-Phase an, die ich im allgemeinen mega mag, ich bin gern bei der Entwicklung dabei und freue mich auf Betas und irgendwann auf die 1.0... Hier wurde viel Potenzial verschenkt, das denke ich noch nachgereicht wird, und ich halte mich diesbezüglich an Infulenzer wie dich um im richtigen Moment wieder einzusteigen. Was mich aber persönlich am meisten genervt hat: Ich hab ohne Übertreibung 20 Achterbahnen gebaut, und keine war nach dem Test nutzbar, da egal wie viel Mühe ich mir gegeben habe, die Testergebnisse waren vernichtend. Das hat mich sehr schnell sehr frustriert... Für mich muss sich im Basegame einiges ändern, ein Paar Objekte mehr bringen mich nicht weiter, da sind tiefgreifende Änderungen nötig, die aber auch ehrlich gesagt sehr einfach umsetzbar wären. In sofern, ich glaube daran dass das Game richtig gut wird/werden kann. Und dann, bin ich am Start. :)

San Francisco style fenuciliar trolly cars.

[@csch9298]

Several dozen arcade and midway games.

Hello ! I understand why you are doing such a video, as I also feel concerned about this situation. The first thing to fix it could be, for me, to bring back some scenery pieces and themes from planco 1. Then, I agree with your 1 & 3 dlc ideas (sorry, I'm not into logistics when speaking about planco). I also thought they could add a light zoo feature to make it possible for us to create things like farm animals petting attractions or safari cruise like things, or just to add sheep to mow the lawns under the coasters 😂

[@jamessdavis5201]

Your suggestions though appreciated aren't a fix, those are quality of life additions. The first thing to fix are bugs imo before making additions. Especially DLC!

[@tj98609]

@jamessdavis5201 Sure, I agree. The first emergency is to fix the base game and stop bringing expensive DLC with so few contents. But this only may not bring back players, as suggested by Rudi, we will need more later.

There is something wrong with the lighting and the vibe. The lighting and charachter art was way better in the original. This one is more similar to Roller Coaster Tycoon World, which is not a comparison I like to make. Also, no loyalty discount from the beginning and making us buy back old content with the deluxe edition and first DLC is such a slap in the face.

[@hortencya302]

I really hope this game do a comeback since I have been very excited for it for a long time and I realy hope it wil be really good in the future and bring back the player base.

[@Maxlikus]

A Guest-creator like in RCT3 would be nice. Also more ways for guests to interact with the park

[@kieranduneclift6076]

I would definitely bring back the old Planet Coaster themes, and restaurants and hotels, along with the dlcs from the first game.

[@GateCrossers]

Bring it to Mac too! Native games that had the previous standing of Planet Coaster 1, are more often supported as the competition is slim on Mac.

[@WeArrLegion]

A 50% to 75% pricedrop would draw me in. Frontier has this funny thing of reselling slightly tweaked previously used assets for full price. The new waterpark theme turned me off. I don't care about the swimmingpools and slides in a attractionpark. Their business practice is genius though. Good to see people being turned off finally by the asset-regurgitation 😅

[@notthisbutthat]

I would buy planco 2 in a sec. if they had support for Mac iOS, PlanCo 1 works on Mac and preforms amazing on M1 Macbook Pro. They could expand their costumer base if they do.

[@dimitrisgaranatsis]

If the slides are good and pathfinding of people is good plus a lot more items and i will be back

[@kppwinn]

Imagine when Jurassic World: Evolution 3 and the movie come out. They drop a massive JW DLC and some new rides. A land cruiser dark ride, decorative fences, roar sound fx samples for ride triggers and/or speakers , statues, a whole new building style (Jurassic Park and Jurassic World aesthetics). And dinosaur animatronics. Would be sick as!

[@ronanthompson2582]

I still can’t believe how limited guest interaction is with our parks. It seemed like a no-brainer to bring guest sightlines from PZ, making hiding backstage areas a gameplay mechanic (like Parkitect does) giving players a real reason to build creatively.

[@LadybugTVRollercoastervideos]

Functional hotels and restaurants please

[@briancooper8990]

Dear Frontier: Themes that people care about! Fantasy, SciFi, Western, Movie Backlot etc. Places you actually see in theme parks. That and a LOT more blueprinted pieces for those themes. While I LOVE building things more casual gamers can’t be bothered. The lack of blueprinted set pieces made everything start feeling pretty repetitive at launch. I have to believe that repetition is why you are hemorrhaging players. While Workshop is filling up the quality of those publishes are all over the place. The volume is making searching for that quality difficult.

[@StolperStan]

I will only return to Planet Coaster once they’ve fixed the issue with the park meter. My meter is already 99% full, but the park is only a quarter full, that's ridiculous. If this happens again, I will never buy a Planet Coaster game again. This is absolutely unacceptable. Until then, bye bye Planet Coaster and Frontier.

[@ObscurousDecorous]

Traditional "Tycoon" mode. Give me a loan and let me go.

[@Bdawg71692]

I dunno. I will come back eventually. I want the guests to use the slides... like the fact that the game shipped and they didn't even go on slides blows my mind a little bit. I am also just completely over games getting released way too early. I am so tired of it.

[@lycanroctube5946]

One thing they could try for free to get people back is to add a singular Coaster type that people have been begging for (Intamin blitz, rmc raptor etc.) along with switch tracks on all the big coaster types plus the ability for swing launches.

[@Sergioshi_]

While some of these are great, you didn't take into account that they're gonna be held back by consoles limitations this time around. The whole nightlife and storage areas sound great on paper, but they would be disregarded instantly during a brainstorming due to consoles

[@Red_Ryan_Red]

I’m so curious on who was in the room when the plan for this game came together. Were they just shooting down all these same ideas? Did they say let’s save it for later? Or did this stuff just never come up? I’m sure everyone at frontier has been to a theme park at least once in their lives.

[@T_M___]

Frontier, please give this man a job

[@KittytheKatfish]

i have stopped playing the game compeletely after a few weeks, but I actually will come back for those announced updates. I'm not ready to give up on the game, the only quastion is for how long it will be able to keep me excited before the bugs annoy me too much again.

[@tobyrodel8675]

Do you think planet zoo and planet coaster could ever be unified into a single game?

[@austinfassino]

my problem with PC2: I feel like a developer building a gamer rather than a player playing a game. I feel like i live entirely in the backend and do little to no "playing" in the game.

[@JakeSoulFreeTravels]

What you doing in the backend?
