Multiplat Planet Coaster Console Edition

[biggiemediums]

For those playing on PS4/X1 - be aware that there is a highly restrictive build limit that was hidden by Frontier until release.

When I say restrictive, I really mean it. If you’re like me and get very detail oriented; prepare to be disappointed.

Until build limit is fixed I would reconsider purchasing, as it’s pretty much the main point of the game. It would be like porting Age of Empires with an army limit of 20.

Below is a full 100% on a base PS4.

Depends on what one wants from the game. If one is more for the management/sim side - then green lights because it runs stellar and is still a great game.

If however, you’re like myself who loves the PC version for the limitless building and just how creative you can get - I’d wait and see if they have plans for removing/improving that limit.

It’s far too small a limit to just ignore - it’s a legitimately big deal.

I loved Roller Coaster Tycoon and Theme Park back in the day, so I did consider this game

Played when it first came out on PC, thought it was great. I'm not creative enough to get the most out of it but still a fun time.

Occasionally log in and have a dabble or play other peoples maps.

Not sure what it costs these days but worth a dabble.

After some testing in Sandbox mode, I'm pretty happy to say that Terraforming and Scenery do not add much to the build limit. Trying my hand with a little one coaster park - not completely detailed yet, but it's a decent start. Still have a bit to go detail-wise, stoked I still have 80% left to play with.

After a couple days hands-on my opinion on the limit has changed somewhat. It's a nuisance if you were keen on a big park; but small parks can still be extremely detailed. (now to learn how to make an actual functional coaster )

Thats sick man.

I wonder if the next generation version (I noticed xbox says X/S enhanced) improves on the build limit at all...

Did lol at the stairs that start and finish with absolutely no way of accessing them.

Just downloaded it on gamepass

Tried to build a coaster straight away, not easy so the tutorials it is

Mate I played the game on PC for a couple years and my Coasters are still massive trash! I just can’t wrap my head around coaster mechanics!

I couldn't even build one.

I reckon as I get through the tuts it will be easy enough to pick up

I have been smashing this game a bit lately.

The career mode is quite fun and challenging. Building the coasters has turned out to be a fair bit more difficult than I expected

I think the PS5 is a bit bigger, an extra 30% I could be wrong.

I had fun even with the limits, but it did end up causing me issues and spoiled it a bit.

But it's much bigger on PC still? If So I'll just buy the PC version instead.

Pc you can build as much as your Pc can handle!
