Planet Coaster 2 isn't the financial success that Frontier needed, according to a report, which means there's more pressure on Jurassic World Evolution 3 to bring in the big bucks (www.pcgamer.com)

I thought the water park stuff was cool but the reviews for Planet Coaster 2 turned me off. A lot of it said basically "well it's good if you don't have PC1, but it is a step backwards from PC1", and I do have the first Planet Coaster.

Didn't buy PC2, so I don't know how true that is.

It also appears that revenue estimates for older games like Planet Coaster and Elite Dangerous have been increased, as the hope is that players will carry on spending money on older games.

oh no they figured me out!

The trailer looked nice, but I am more of Parkitect type person.

What I would really like is a modern remaster (not remake) of Theme Park World (Sim Theme Park in the US) that would largely keep the gameplay intact but include better textures / 3D models and compatibly for modern OSs/resolutions.
