YEY

Meant to be released at end of the year. In 3D as well, screenshots look promising but slight worry of a Theme Park World.

That sounds ominous, seeing that the Railroad Tycoon games became poor after Sid Meier stopped working on them....

Woah, that looks well good!

I hope they make it decent, I loved the previous ones.

He's overlooking it or something so hopefully he'll try and stop them butchering the original.

Theme Park World, how bad was that? I gave up on the first island.

Theme Hospital was great but not as much as Transport Tycoon

One reason I'm a bit apprehensive about Rollercoaster Tycoon 3, Chris Sawyer has nothing to do with it. He's not developing this one.

I'll be expecting yet another turgid Tycoon game, then maybe when it's released I don't have to be disappointed if it ends up rubbish, but can be overwhelmed it actually turns out good.

Lookin' good.

When will we ever see a sequel to Theme Hospital? That was the daddy of parody strategy games.

I love his graphics engine though

It works so well, I'm a bit worried about it going into 3D. Especially with such a cartonny feel to it.

It's good to hear that the series is continuing, in 3D as well! Looks like after ten years, Chris Sawyer has used a new graphics engine!

Point to consider, though: Railroad Tycoon III was spolied by 3D rendering...
