Roller Coaster Tycoon 3D
1) girls in bikinis
2) talking animals doing martial arts
As for game features, who actually shows the product in their commercials anymore? :P

No teaser screen shots, not even an official word from Gamespot or other credible sites (except the IGN one, which didn't leak anything since).
i suppose i should have asked, what two things do you want most in the new game?
I smell a troll

what's interesting is that there is a feature that only kicks in if you make a coaster go at a certain speed, the girls tops fly off, and you can turn in the car and look at them. it's kind of like an easter egg in a dvd, only no one knows about it besides the developer.
Not trying to flame anyone or anything, but seriously think before you post.

I just wanted girls in bikinis and talking animals doing martial arts - so I guess I'm covered.
Do they have to wear bikinis?
I'd prefer if they didn't wear anything and did different..er...things with the rct3 box!
Screamscape even had a screenshot of it on this morning's update & you can easily see in the shot that it's an RCT style coaster design(corkscrew) because the supports of the track are just posts & the loop doesn't have any supports on the vertical sections.
According to Atari Chris Sawer is definitely working on this...along with frontier studios & that we can expect a release date sometime later in the year...I can't wait to see some screens showing new flats:).
The thing that most interested me in the quick Screamscape blurb was the idea of adding "group behavior" to guests. Now that's a useful addition!
Although I can now see at the larger size that it isn't art, but rather a rendering. I stand corrected.
The press release can be read here.

There's always SeaWorld Tycoon if you don't want to go 3D ;)
Im glad it's been officially announced, however, I'd like to see more screen shots from the building perspective & how it's going to look overall...
...looks like, from the teaser shots, that they will be able to handle large crowds, which is great.
The one thing I really hope they do is totally re-build the sounds & music from the ground-up. The last thing you need are RCT1 sound loops in a new 3D environment.
I hope they incorporate "Sims" style think bubbles where you can tell each character what they are craving or wanting (as opposed to the old seperate window way).
I can't wait for more screens, which I'm sure Gamespot, Gamespy or IGN will be having very soon. :)
- This truly looks f'n amazing. I just hope they keep the RCT/RCT2 spirit alive and don't change up gameplay a whole bunch. Initially it seems the focus is on the 3d. As long as that's just the newest adaptation of RCT, then fine, but if they're switching up how the game is played - then ugh!
- I already can see from those shots people complaining about petty things like "transitions look like hell" - this isn't no limits and I hope they don't try to make it RCT:No Limits.
- How much PC or vid card power is it going to take to run the game if those "Screenshots" truly represent what the final game will be pushing? I'm not exactly up on my PC gaming, but it seems like it'd take bleeding edge hardware to run the game and make it look like that - especially if you're a theme whore like many of us in the CB Games section tend to be. I still find myself wondering if those are really 'screenshots' of what the final gameplay will look like or just current renderings of what they'd like to do - which would get watered down as the game gets flushed out and realistic expectations are met.
At any rate, my initial comment says it all - At this point the game looks (and sounds) f'n great.
The coaster building aspect appears to be similar to the old series (ie: plug & play)... but I hope there'll be a little more freedom of choice in angles & curves.
The people look of low poly-count which is good for a medium-end system & will run without any problems on a high-end system.
I hope this isn't all the freedom in the world, otherwise the on-ride cam vs. the regular walk-around-the-park cam won't feel much different & will feel very much like "Sim Coaster"... which I guess isn't such a bad thing. Graphics definately look nice from those few shots so far.
