I wish the guests walked around more realistically. They look the same as Planet Zoo. It would had felt like a bigger upgrade to see them walk around more interact with the environment more.
I feel the same, the game is apparently great, but the UI is kinda sketchy, the coasters menu is heavy, and the one for paths and pool creating have a hundred buttons
I agree with you, it's clearly console oriented which is sad for PC. When you try to satisfy several purposes, you end up with an average experience for both. Like winter and summer tires compared to all-seasons' ones...
@@Addicted5.4 well this was a pc first game, that's like making a new fps game for pc even tho it was known and made for console but this new one is now made fully for pc even the console has a pc feel
As a console player, I'm quite happy about the fact that the UI is similar to the first Planet Coaster game, gives it some familiarity, you know? Do understand the PC frustration. though, Frontier should have developed two seperate UIs 😭
At least pc players will have mod support, so someone can always create a mod for that suits their ui wants/needs. Not a perfect solution, but at least they will get options.
No it will Not have mod Support. Why should it? Even planco 1 did Not have mod Support. It Took the Moders Like 6 years to get through the Code and create some Kind of mods.
As someone who intends to purchase and play it on console, I'm super happy to see I won't have to wait for the game to be revamped for console players. Glad they are doing this right off the bat.
Good point about the console friendly UI... ill probably hope using my arrow keys will work so I can quickly scan... or... I think its a small ask to have small icons for PC
I really thought games being ruined by consolization was a thing of the past, but here we are. Of all of the games to be consolized into ruin, I never thought it would be the sequel to a thoroughly PC-focused franchise lmao.
Console player here! Obviously I'm really glad the franchise moved to console and it has been a joy to play for me. I understand the PC players frustration but I find it logical for frontier to develop the sequel with consoles in mind since the community has grown quite big over the years and makes them tons of money. Thay being said I'd like there to be a choice for different UIs but I don't think that's gonna happen...
@@AlbrissAndWarin the console version of planet coaster sucks. I was watching a friend play it and seeing how it controls and how the UI is laid out I actually said having experience with the actual game if I had to play this way I’d kill myself. Trust me if you haven’t played the PC version, the console version is a complete downgrade. For them to go more in that direction is baffling. But really it makes no sense why they’d do this. This is the type of shit you’d expect from 2008, not 2024. Multi platform and even cross platform has worked great for years now. I really thought the era of ruining games for the sake of shit ass consoles was over but here we are.
@@AlbrissAndWarin it’s just baffling to me. This style of game is completely catered for mouse and keyboard. The franchise is a PC franchise and the console version is more of a novelty than anything else. Why would they actively choose to handicap their long awaited sequel for that? Why not just suggest console players hook up a mouse and keyboard for the best experience? As a PC player I don’t complain when I have to use a controller for games that work best with them like Red Dead or racing games etc. it also makes less sense when you consider the main planet coaster community on RUclips etc-who have kept the game going so strong over the years-are almost all on PC. Also it makes no sense why they couldn’t just do two UIs. A fully fledged UI and a handicapped UI for the controller. I guess it’s not that I’m against consoles, it’s that it makes no sense that a game clearly meant for mouse and keyboard (as almost all building/design games are) would cater more in the direction of controller and force M&KB users to adhere to that. It’s going to feel so sluggish. The solution isn’t to not have it on console, it’s just to have different UI. Or give console players the option to use mouse and keyboard in the same way that PCs can use controllers for certain games. Consoles can hook up keyboards and mice now. It would work fine.
The coaster menu really isnt that bad, also at the top of the menu you can choose a type of coaster, so if you want a mack launch coaster you can just click on the "launch" section and then scroll through the few coasters. Tbh I really like the new menus even as a PC player so
@@Rollercoaster_Madness I’m not saying the new one is unusable but it definitely takes longer to find the coaster type you’re looking for compared to the old menu where you just have all the thumbnails in front of you and you just click what you want.
@thrill_riders I mean tbh it'll probably be similar. The ond one I struggled sometimes to find something specific just because there's so many options so sometimes ur eyes scan over it. I think they have to change things aswell or people will just think the game is a copy paste with pools and a couple new coasters...
For me although the UI is annoying, I feel like after a while I might get used to it. My main issue is the stations, it’s the one thing they haven’t changed despite it being one of my least favourite parts of Planco 1
Will this not work at all on Windows 8.1? I never upgraded to 10 or 11. I guess if it needs Direct X 12 then it probably needs 10 or 11. And my graphics card is only 3 GB and I don't think it's an RTX. RTX supports ray tracing. You need a 6 GB card minimum and I have an i7 but an i7-10700 is recommended. 10th gen. Mine is an 8th gen, i7 8700. My current pc is from 2019. I might just get a new pc used on ebay with the recommended processor and graphics card in it and Win 10 or 11.
This gives me frightening thoughts of Windows 8. Trying to make something compatible for two very different platforms that doesn't end up great for either.
The PC user interface of planet coaster 1’s coaster menu could work on console, you would just use your arrow buttons to scroll up down, left and right to select the thumbnail you want
Enjoyed the video but I disagree about the coaster selector. The new interface is better because 1. It filters to the type of coaster first. 2. It gives relevant details that help you know about what you can do with the coaster instead of just a thumbnail. 3. Once you familiarize yourself with the names it's easier to find by name than thumbnail. The PC1 UI isn't even alphabetized in your example. I actually hated the small thumbnails in PC1 because they gave zero info and I'd just have to try every one to figure out what I could do with them. I also don't see anything about that screen that screams "console". It's easy enough to click with a mouse on the big buttons and scroll the list. It's literally the same actions as the old UI. I'm not saying there's no room for improvement or new ideas, but I definitely prefer this new menu. One last thing. The number of times in any given park that we start a new coaster from scratch is very low. Think about the amount of time in the game spent on the coaster selection screen vs. every other thing that we spend time doing in the game.
Im really dissapointed with the release version. I have so many ideas for great dark rides/coasters. Yet i find myself always looking at coasters ingame that dont support certain track pieces. Turntables locked to certain coaster types, launch tracks also locked to certain types and so on… this is starting to look ridiculous. How am i supposed to live out my creativity when the game keeps limiting my possibilites😢
I don’t believe I’ve actually seen/heard anyone playing PlanCo 2 on console. Every RUclipsr I’ve seen played on PC, so I’m not sure how the game is really like on console. I do get people’s frustration with the UI. For me, it looks familiar to what I’m used to and I didn’t mind scrolling down in PlanCo. After a while, I knew what’s what, especially since I watched ample footage of PC players before I ever got the game. I knew what kind of attractions were there (not flat rides, but I did mostly know all the coasters and track rides). And the labels will help find rides quicker. To switch between those is a nice L1 or R1 for me, but I understand those labels would be annoying on PC.
RUclipsrs have been way too quick to criticise. It's not released, we're seeing pre-release footage. You say it's not rage bait, but if your title is accurate to your opinion then you're ignorant. It should be "has a lot of development left", but you've called it "has a major issue" for clicks. Do you really think that this will still be an issue a reasonable amount of time after release? Hell no, they've gained the credit through listening to us, but you're not accepting that cos you want to complain. Console -> PC is ridiculously harder than PC -> console, people are just annoyed that it's not fully designed for their PC now. And what sort of criticism is a full page for management? I can't think of a management game that doesn't have a full page for stuff with that many options, imagine that in a scroll box in the corner. The valid criticism is it's very plain.
apart from the ui being designed for console, i am also a little bit disappointed about the realism aspects of the game. like where are the parking lots? where are the roads that lead to the park? where do the guests come from? I mean those 3 busses are nice and all, but people walk into / out of them at the wrong place. it looks, tbh, like a very old game with modern graphics. even RCTWorld got this better, and that one was a shit game. also i am missing some feature from planet zoo, like the fence tool, or the 3d grass in the biomes. regarding the biomes, the ones we have seen so far dont look realistic either. they look like maps from thrillville, not actual building grounds. there is either mountains or completely flat ground, and the design language is kinda bad. it just feels unrealistic and childish. also, the scenarios look even worse than PlanCo 1. they just look like shit tbh and dont offer any realism at all. its more like "how ugly and unrealistic can we get?" kind of style. i woner why they dont hire people like Nerdchacho, DeLadysigner, Jurre, or Rudi Rennkamel to build their scenarios? i know that Silvarette did the scenarios for parkitect, and that was the best idea ever. or just hire actual architects who know how things look in real life. i feel like the devs cant even operate their own game, given how shitty the scenarios are looking :D still hyped for the game. the only thing stopping me from pre-ordering is that we dont know yet, if they will implement the "new object on current position" feature. that would be a nightmare and it would be so dumb not to include this.
It is suppose to be a new game. It is basically an update for a game that is 8 years old. Total cash grab. Look how they are adding vintage DLC already with the game, when it's not even out yet. It includes 3 rides from the original Planet Coaster. Really Frontier. I don't see this selling half as many copies as the original game.

I see no problem with the UI really
@@Ballistic-vn6em ok 👍
Games just released and we need more clicks to reach certain features than in planco 1… how do you not see a problem with that?😅

Bro the background music in the start reminds me of when I was chillin with my dad playin rct3 thank you
Rudi Rennkamel has already sent an 8 page complaint to Frontier about the UI a few weeks ago. It´s awful.
Saw you at Alton towers !! You were filming near the curse at Alton manor!!!
To be fair, the little thumbnails don't mean much to me either. I just clicked on each one until I found something that was interesting.
As someone who intends to purchase and play it on console, I'm super happy to see I won't have to wait for the game to be revamped for console players. Glad they are doing this right off the bat.
Have they fixed building track and queues backwards? That is for me, by far, the biggest issue
Good point about the console friendly UI... ill probably hope using my arrow keys will work so I can quickly scan... or... I think its a small ask to have small icons for PC
Awww man the RCT3 music 😭
I don’t understand the complaint about the lack of pictures for coaster types. You can see the manufacturer and what type it is. Not hard

Honest I think with the coaster selection UI they just took huge inspiration from No Limits 2
I wish it was a mode where we can operate the rides
They should also make the previous versions compatible so that the newer features are available within parks you’ve already created.
This is some fair criticism. Good video!
