Planet Coaster: Console Edition ushers in the next generation of coaster park management

Neil writes: "Frontier Developments know a thing or two about what it takes to create a properly good management/tycoon/sim game and after cutting their teeth with the likes of Rollercoaster Tycoon, they probably have a decent understanding of the whole theme park vibe too - the brilliant Jurassic World Evolution and Zoo Tycoon are both testament to that. In fact, there is probably no one better to usher in the next generation of coaster management than Frontier. Which is a bit of luck as it is they who are behind the launch of Planet Coaster: Console Edition on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PS4 and PS5."

Bought it digital but I’m waiting for ps5. The only thing that gets on my nerves about past console sims is that once you get a decent sized city going the console can’t handle it. Citiesxl crashes instantly lol. The only one that ran flawlessly for me was Jurassic Park evolution. Hopefully the next gen sims will be handle the load. Oh and no load times *gets hyped*

I think this is an okay-ish month. As a long time fan of Theme Hospital I kinda would have liked to play Two Point Hospital but I might give 2016 game Planet Coaster a try as it's in the same vein. I might have a go on Tiny Tina... I love fantasy, and I know this is a Borderlands spin-off but am not sure if hearing a sarcastic American narrator is the right blend for me but it's worth a shot.

@VenomUK:

This is just a standalone re-release of the BL2 DLC, not the new one.

VenomUK1241d ago

@Kados Cheers for explaining.

Can you edit in something better than UFC? Photoshop cyberpunk over it or something.

Planet Coaster is the one I'm interested in. My brother bought this and its really good. If you like theme park on megadrive (genesis), then this is good for you. Unfortunately this is just for PS5 so my other friends are disappointed because they got just PS4..

darthv721241d ago

Is planet coaster anything like screamride on xbox?

MaximusPrime_1241d ago

Sorry I have not played that game. I checked the videos and it looks similar. It's basically building a theme park and managing it. All set in present day not future.

yeahokwhatever1241d ago (Edited 1241d ago )

yes, they're pretty same-y. having played both, im slightly more partial to planet coaster.

CosmicTurtle1241d ago

Same developer, but planet coaster gets better reviews.

iplay1up21241d ago (Edited 1241d ago )

Played on GP . Planet Coaster is more like Roller Coaster Tycoon. It was on GP for a year. Now I might buy it. For my Series X. Since PS4 isn't getting it with PS Plus.

Planet Coaster is amazing. As someone who used to play the sh*t out of Roller Coaster Tycoon, I was hooked. Loved it and played it all the way to the Plat trophy. Takes a little while to get used to the controls but then it was a very enjoyable experience. Definitely recommend who likes these types of games.

gangsta_red1241d ago

Man...these monthly free games just don't hit like they used to

CobraKai1241d ago

They don’t. On the “Plus” side, I can play some back logged games.

gangsta_red1241d ago

That is definitely a plus

Yeah it's been such a long long....month since the last great ps plus selection...

lodossrage1241d ago

You just got Persona Strikers and Deep Rock Galactic last month.......

FinalFantasyFanatic1240d ago

I was going to say, last month was a really great month for plus, what more are they asking for? This isn't even a bad selection of games for this month either (last month is going to be really hard to top).

Interesting month since the majority of title are not super mainstream games so It's a good opportunity to try new genre.

Crows901241d ago (Edited 1241d ago )

Also a good opportunity to buy any of the other huge titles releasing in February. Pretty sure they don't want to have their selection compete with other huge releases.

They're probably saving for a bigger and drier month.

Richard writes: "It’s a tough ask designing a whole theme park around haunted houses and ghost trains, and it really shows with the Spooky Pack DLC for Planet Coaster: Console Edition."

Fantastic game! I am about to play it for the first time on my Series X! I am not sure how much better it will run, compared to my X1X.
