Re-assessment

[edit]

I reasessed the article's quality, making it a B class because it has everything listed under "B" class requirements. Can someone add more about park management so it can be GA class? Cmputer 13:15, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

This article seems to be serverly lacking in sources, which means it fails B class. I've moved it down to C, its significantly more than a Start but just not up to scratch to B. On a side note, i moved the RCP importance rating up to mid as it is a Roller Coaster simulator, which uses realistic physics. Thanks, --MattWT 05:00, 21 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
C class is fine, since the article is definitely better than start class. --Cmputer 22:52, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

Unsourced Critism

[edit]

Removed the following unsourced criticism: --Ishi Gustaedr 14:31, 12 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Many members of the RollerCoaster Tycoon community were not happy with Frontier Developments taking over for Chris Sawyer for this version. Many people felt that the game was sub-par compared to the first two, even with the addition of 3D graphics and many new gameplay features.
There have also been complaints about the high-end graphic cards, computers and processors that are needed to run the game smoothly. Powerful machines are needed to render the parks in full detail without graphical slowdown or a reduction in frames per second. Especially large parks will put a significant amount of strain on even the fastest computers and processors. Some players cannot see water because their graphics cards cannot render it. The other games didn't need high end graphics cards, which made them accessible to more people.

WikiProject class rating

[edit]

This article was automatically assessed because at least one WikiProject had rated the article as start, and the rating on other projects was brought up to start class. BetacommandBot 10:09, 10 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

RCT3 comes to Steam!

[edit]

Yay. (Although I already have the boxed version xD) I added Steam to the publishers list, feel free to make more mentions. Too bad RCT3 for Steam is US only right now. Hang on while I grab the VALVe news post to prove this.... here! --218.214.47.219 (talk) 05:53, 19 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Other parks

[edit]

It should be noted that people are starting to make replicas of rides from disneyland or universal studios. One person even made a very large and detailed version of knotts berry farm. Trust me its all over youtube. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.107.160.195 (talk) 22:52, 23 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

RCT3 Gold

[edit]

There is a third expansion called Gold. It has both the wild and Splash coasters/rides on it.

Sorry I was mistaken, Gold has the Soaked expansion aswell as the regular. Platinum has Wild and Soaked expansions, with the regular. Androo123 (talk) 05:10, 18 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, and the artical already talks about that in the expansion section

Request for expansion

[edit]

Hmmmm.... I see that nobody has ever expanded the page since it was added in June 2008. SOMEBODY EXPAND THIS PAGE! --Tamiera (talk) 23:00, 12 January 2010 (UTC) I'm an avid player, but I don't really see what more there is to do besides expand the development section. Best of Luck, Buggie111 (talk) 00:14, 13 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Expansions

[edit]

The Spanish wikipedia has a seperate sub-section for Soaked and wild. Should we do that here? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Buggie111 (talk • contribs) 13:12, 13 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I just remembered. Buggie111 (talk) 13:14, 13 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Reviews for the Expansion Packs?

[edit]

We need some properly sourced reviews for the expansion packs, if their still on the web. Please remember to put them in a "table" formant or something like that. 76.21.122.234 (talk) 00:31, 1 May 2010 (UTC) John[reply]

Peep Bowling

[edit]

Is this a important part of the game? Please post below and place ":" to indent so the conversation will be clear. Thank you. and keep civil--intelati 05:10, 5 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Not important enough for a mention let alone a section. I support the revisions undertaken by intelati and Buggie111. Themeparkgc  Talk  06:23, 5 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
It's not so important. It believe it falls under the definition of an in-game mod, so that's why I trimmed out those phrases. Buggie111 (talk) 13:01, 5 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Criticisms

[edit]

I am shocked to see why there has been no mentioning of the criticisms in this game. In many of the reviews linked on this page (such as IGN and Gamespot), there are mentionings involving the games bugs and glitches. An example is in this question involving problems with viruses (which also happened to this game on my computer recently as well which has caused it to be sent for disposal). A "Criticisms" subheaded section should be included in the "reception" section. trainfan01 7:50, September 15, 2010 (UTC)


Expansions

[edit]

there is now a Platinum version for Mac OSX thats recently been released but isnt mentioned here its notable mainly because its actually designed for universal binary as far as i can understand, the original RCT3 for mac, was designed for the PowerPC architecture, and had poor performance on intel macs http://au.gamespot.com/mac/strategy/rollercoastertycoon3/index.html someone correct me if i'm wrong.. 110.174.171.4 (talk) 04:01, 2 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Incorrect system specs

[edit]

I'm sorry, but there is no way that the recommended GPU for this game is a GeForce 8500, as that card is far newer than the actual game! Should it be 5800? That seems odd as well. Lukeno94 (talk) 07:39, 19 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Cover Art Proposal

[edit]

The cover art used in this article is the lesser known UK version, or this cover. The official US cover looks like this: http://pcmedia.ign.com/pc/image/rct3_pcusbox.jpg. Since the game was released in the United States (October 26, 2004) before Europe (November 3, 2004), I propose that the cover should be changed to the US version.
