Slide into 15 minute of Planet Coaster 2 water parks and coaster changes
thesixthaxis.comFrontier Developments has shared a 15 minute deep dive into Planet Coaster 2 and the new water parks that are the new star attraction in this them park management sequel.
Game Director Rich Newbold and Senior Executive Producer Adam Woods are on hand to give the demonstration, showing off a work-in-progress sandbox from a development build of the game.
They show off the geometric and custom shape pools you can make, the way that water flumes can be constructed – still balancing excitement, fear and nausea, just like the regular coasters – the new needs for things like changing rooms, wider concourses and more. Guests have also been redesigned to give more diversity of character models, broader animations to show how they’re feeling, and even the ability to get a nasty sunburn if you don’t supply sun screen for your guests!
Flat rides and coasters are obviously still very plentiful, and Frontier have made new rides and revamped previous ones. The humble teacups ride is now more plain to allow you to apply more customisations and themes, such as adding more of an underwater theme with scenery that can animate and move around with the ride. All rides will come with pre-defined, selectable patterns, too.
The next deep dive video will be exploring the new and the improved tools that players will get to use to create and manage these parks, so keep an eye out for that.
There’s plenty more on show in the deep dive, and we got a chance to preview the game ahead of its big announcement last month. I said, “It’s been a hot minute since Planet Coaster released back in 2016, and since the last expansion arrived in 2019. It’s high time to dive back in, and Planet Coaster 2 looks set to delight with its new options and deeper management.”
Planet Coaster 2 is coming out this autumn across PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC.
