Never Has Gravity Been So Uplifting.
Not that the game was bad, but it was basically RCT1's exact same graphic engine (ie: 4yrs old at the time it came out), with new rides & stuff to do. Not to mention the expansion packs absolutely sucked.
I hope Gamespot has some info on this... and then the E3 should absolutely rock with new footage... I just hope some teaser shots are shown beforehand...
...I'm sure it'll be great because they'll still use the simplistic building tools for the coaster, but probably use more enhanced graphic engines similar to those used in all those budget Tycoon games (or... perhaps.. Sim City4? :))
A 3d version should be awesome. It would be like No Limits (with a much easier rollercoaster designer) combined with the fun and playability of RCT. I know what I am getting for Christmas this year.
That has always been the main reason why they have stuck to using a 2d isometric viewpoint for the game since day one.

I agree that RCT2 was essentially just the expansion packs from RCT1, but supposedly it WAS a total recode.
Oh well. At least they have Chris Sawyer making it. He'll give us a good game.

I'm anxious to see what he's up to. I assume a guy that can single-handedly produce a game in machine code can write his own 3D engine, but who knows.

...so as long as all the graphics & sounds are 100% new & the gameplay is much more in-depth while still retaining all the fun & charm of the original. (sounds so cliche, ya know?)
You know what I'm most excited about? The potential for another official contest. Maybe they'd be willing to pony up some more great prizes.
I ws fine with RCT, then out comes RCT2, and im ok with that too b/c it didnt change too much, but now its gonna be 3D. Thats a big change. I really am hoping that it has some very realistic graphics, not like Sim Theme Oark and those other crappy theme park sims.
The suspense for this game is killing me.......
