Can't wait to use the water slides to recreate Action Park 👍
The man in the ball in the ball
I want to do Verrückt
Oh gosh
Cannonball loop incoming
They need to make the cannon ball water (i think they named it that) as a preset for the water park lmao
After Cities Skylines 2 and Kerbal Space Program 2, I think I'll hold off all judgement until the thing actually comes out lol
Frontier made Jurassic World Evolution 2, one of the best sequels ever so I think we can look up for this!!
Frontier is usually good at making sequels
CS2 wasn't even that bad, KSP2 meanwhile was an absolute disaster
CS2 is doing pretty well imo, ofc it was a bit bumpy at first but they're headed in the right direction. Don't even wanna talk about KSP 2...😒
I have 2000 hours in KSP2. Nothing can hurt me anymore
The biggest thing I wanna see in this sequel is new coaster elements. I always wanna build coasters with moving loading stations, duel loading stations, switch tracks, drop tracks, separate load and unload stations, multi-pass launches, etc.
Got to agree with your conclusion. The way they show of the waterpark stuff, to me, it feels more like a water park expansion compared to an actual new title.
The big thing with a numbered sequel though is the opportunity for a clean break from old file formats. No need to support backwards compatibility, which might enable improved pathing systems and other stuff we've seen like resizable scenery items. I'd much rather improvements to the backend + water parks than just a water park expansion.
@@CheesecakeMilitia oh i definitely agree it is very premature to call my opinion as fact. I’m intrigued to see them prove me wrong and we shall see what improvements they bring under the hood once it comes out!
Theyre gonna focus on the big new feature. Look at all the new animations and stuff that we saw
I disagree with the final thoughts. The entire point of a sequel is to improve and build upon the first game with new features that weren't within the previous scope, and that's exactly what they've done. Just the announcements they've made so far required redesigns of the paths, terrain, and water tools, new pathing and guest AI, new weather and lighting engines; and improvements for the new features they experimented with in Zoo.
So what would, in your minds, actually count as a sequel?
@@taal223 i have to say with the art style so defined it is hard to make it new and shiny graphically. New rides and assets could have been added to the predecessor. It all depends whats under the hood that could define, for me, what counts as a sequel.
Called it!
My comment on the arabia coster: "Head canon: Silv is playing planet coaster again because he's in the know about planco 2. He got those inside connections. Don't ruin it for me! "
Thanks for not ruining it for me hahaha
Some more takeaways ive noticed, mainly in the key art:
-food truck vendors
-noticed a big focus on kites, maybe at shops like balloons or a special attraction?
-in the background of the key art in the right side you can see a giant Neptune or Poseidon statue. Almost definitely that mythology theme.
Biggest thing i would want from this is for it to be a bit more of a mix of planco 1 and planzoo. ie, let people make seaworld, with both coasters, water Park elements (really hoping for a rapids ride) and of course aquatic life exhibits
The food truck vendors are a nice touch, good catch!
I'm a little disappointed by the scenery options so far. We only get these really generic boring themes to start with? I don't like mythology that much... I feel like all the themes from PlanCo 1 should be ported. I can already tell they are gonna charge for scenery packs immediately after launch.
@@ChasterProductions I'm sure there's going to be more than just what's been announced so far. When planco 1 launched there was only 3 themes to start with.
@@ChasterProductionsthing is though, assuming planet coaster 2 is also being released on Steam, any lack of themes or decor is going to almost immediately be rectified by the workshop. And if they really improve and streamline the decoration building options and controls, it wouldn’t be super difficult to really get creative with it
I knew the announcement was coming with all the OG players suddenly returning to the game within the last week
Same it was pretty obvious when they were all doing random videos.
I was thinking about that as well but have been disappointed so much over the years I didn’t want to get too excited.
Definitely excited but the trailer felt more like a water park expansion than a new game. I felt like there were so many rollercoaster aspects which we all wanted added such as switch tracks, transfer tracks, and separate loading stations, but I kinda felt like there weren’t many improvements to the rollercoasters at all ? (Hopefully this isn’t the case and they release more information at a later date)
Yeah this is just an announcement trailer. First gameplay trailer is July 31st
My main hope is that they improve the rating system for rollercoasters.
If you recreate a real coaster into Planco, you'ld almost always get a bad rating.
it's been confirmed we are getting animated coaster track sections but not sure as to which coasters. Plus loads of missed info about the customizable coaster trains and adding scenery and textures to the cars too.
If they don't add any of that then I won't buy it lmao
It's what is in the way of doing a really realistic park imo
Perhaps they could have changed the art design somewhat to differentiate from the first game which would make it have that "sequel-feeling" to it?
I knew something suspicious was up when you uploaded “aerobats of arabia part 8” lol
I hope the guests drive in with cars or buses in this game instead of teleporting
Man I hope the water effects are affected by lighting now. Or at least a separate set of fountain particle effects that are lit at night. We need fountain shows! 😃
Yes! I really would love to make a light and water show!
agreed!
I don't think we need to be cautiously optimistic as you said Silv. The information extracted from the announcement trailer really is completely what the community has asked for as upgrades to Planet Coaster. And this is just the information that we're being teased with. What else have they added? VR? Real-time park visitors? Link my park and guests to Planet Zoo? I'm so excited :D
I really hope they've redesigned the rollercoaster engine to enable quasi-shuttle options. This will enable people to build rides like Hagrids, which will enable so many more options for layout designs!!
That'd be amazing for sure!
The ability to make shuttle coasters would solve my biggest complaint of PlanCo 1. I really hope they make it work.
Woohoo HYPE TRAIN START!
Surf coaster more excited about!!!
Let’s go!!!
I can't wait for this! My main hope for the game is that it's far easier to build than in PlanCo or PlanZoo. Those games were great for detailers who had hours of time to dedicate to one building, but everyone I know irl including myself found it so difficult to get anything looking good/anything other than generic within a single play session, like what was possible in RCT3 (realistically, due to the simpler grid system)
I hope they add the 'snap' feature from PlanZoo. This helped a lot with building. Scaling tools and blueprints should help too.
I want a click and drag feature for walls instead of having to click a million times to make a building. Similar to how The Sims 4 does it. So much less tedious
We are so back!!!
I am so ready to get SOAKED!!!
Same, no diddy
I would be ready but I am 100% sure this game would light my laptop on fire 😔
Nobody I'd rather see cover this content then you! Thanks for the video!
Loving everything about it. Can't wait!
Thanks ever so, Sil! Your gameplay and knowledge are invaluable!
Planet Coaster 2 hype trainnnnnn 😃
Koali Beach 2? 😅
Great video! So hyped 🎉 Can't wait for it to launch
I've been playing a ton of Prehistoric Kingdom lately and the build system in that lets you scale every piece. It's such a gamechanger for building, I can't wait to see what you're going to do with it.
Exciting! Very informative
What I wish they would do is make Planet coaster 2 and add Planet Zoo 2 inside of it and call it Planet Theme Park, or something similar. Could you all imagine combining Planet zoo, planet coaster 2 and the water expansions inside of one game and simply focusing on dlc for one game so all of the creative effort goes into one title. That would be amazing; but I get it. They can make more money with multiple titles. But I think planet coaster 2 should have zoo dlc and dinosaur dlc and also pirate dlc. Whose with me??
Yes, finally I can move on form RTC3, I still miss one thing from Roller Coaster 3 and before, make custom peep families and follow their experiences. So funny to model my friends and family and see how they interacts with the rides
That's a good point! We know they have the peep builder.... Frontier, are you listening?
Amazing breakdown, thanks for doing this. I’m way too hyped rn I’m gonna no life the hell out of this.
real
Same
No waaaay im so excited! Im so excited to see more
the exhaustive analysis of every frame and comic sans is always a very funny combo, good job silv!
It's just the best font 🥰
I really hope we get a raptor coaster, been waiting for that one
Omg!!! is amazing!! what lighting!!!
This is what I have been waiting for, cant wait to recreate my favorite waterparks and make a cool indoor
Well there is some room for greatness, but can’t wait to see you going nuts in sandbox mode! And also for the community to built the best parks
I am beyond excited for this game, been speculating on its release for a few weeks now and so happy to finally hear word of it
Looking forward to your 1st build!
I’m a fellow “Wild Rides Waterpark Factory” player, and you are the first person I’ve ever heard mention that game!! It’s a fun one for sure. Also.. a huge RCT3 fan to this day!! 😃
Totally agree with you on the slide automatically generated supports. I'm very used to tuening off auto gen supports on coasters and just creating my own. Hope we'll be able to do that on slides. Great breakdown Silvarret! 👌🏻
I'd love that!
Makes me so happy to see them expanding
Lets Go!
I also hope we can customize animatronics like we could our avatar character on the main screen. It would make the system so much better than having a bunch of separate animatronics as scenery.
So excited!!!!
I’m so excited because it looks like they took some of the best foliage and other details from both planet games. This is more than what I was expecting and I’m super excited
YESSS THE SCALING FINALLY
exited as hell.
also exited to see what master builder are making with this game
The possibilities of parades and floats!!!! Imagine the attach to ride thing working for parades!!
Finally!! I have never been so hyped for a game
Been watching since the mlg ride days and grizzly valley Thanks silv. You legend
You're a legend for still staying around, thank you!
@@Silvarret frontier expo, the beach park, the planet coaster park you made. 2016 man
THE DAY FINALLY CAME!!!
im so hyped!
I agree on management and I hope we get realistic options such as parking, testing the park in the morning, see the visitors coming in the morning and leaving in the evening and then skip through part of the night. And a financial overview at the end of the day. That would add a lot in terms of the park feeling alive.
I really hope they make i easier to make a themed park. More standard buildings etc. Takes so long to make a nice themed park.
YOOOOOO! So excited to be able to build water park stuff!
Man this all looks great. If they nail this, they might really take planco to the next level. Cant wait to get my hands on this (and watch you go crazy with the scenery again, ofcourse!)
Becoming more and more a Waterpark enthusiast recently, I am so down for a new take on RCT3 Soaked :D ~Greneey
Yo Greneey! Agreed!
All of this sounds amazing! I'd love a tool like a slider to pull a ghost train along a coaster I'm building. This would help with timing of events but moreso would be helpful with checking forces without having to leave the build mode
Absolutely loved the first game. Can't wait for this.
I am so excited for this! I read there will be new customizable animatronic shows, which seems cool. I am still really hoping for more smaller entertainment such as a full array of arcade games as smaller functional entertainment buildings. It also would've been cool to get new small activities to add throughout such as a small photo booth for guests to take photos, but idk if that is even possible to implement. Either way, exciting!
Im so so so excited
I like your video and I hope you make more videos and I'm very excited for planet coaster 2
1:33 yes! We can see it in the key art (the yellow red striped slide)
The main thing I wanna know about Planet Coaster 2 is will we have 'consistent' or at least more regular Silvarret content?
I noticed the paths, and they look so much better, i doubt it will be perfect, but still better is good to me
This game is going to be AWESOME!!!
Of course you knew about this haha! HYPE!!!
;)
The Obscure FLAT RIDE Is Called A “ZETTA SWING” Manufactured By Zamperla
I love all the new underwater rocks and scenery they added 🤩
As soon as you said lights on rollercoasters I thought of Helix! Man that ride is beautiful during nighttime!
This is so insane! Ever since the release of Planco 1, I've been enjoying every DLC that they dropped. I've always wondered about water rides, and even though they have like 4 or 5 boat rides, they don't feel the same. Furthermore, having to make your own body of water by digging a hole in the ground and then filling it with water, which basically never looks good in your park, I'm so happy that Frontier is gonna be adding a new way to make pools/bodies of water. Can't wait for Planco 2. Never thought this would ever happen.
Im hoping PlanCo2 will have zoo features in it too (very unlikely as it would defeat the purpose of planet zoo) but i would love to have animal exhibits in my parks
Another thing i would like is theaters and stadiums, it was something I’ve tried to do in PlanCo but was nearly impossible to do correctly
Im also hoping parking lots will be a thing too and also a fencing system
This takes me back to RCT3's Soaked expansion. I genuinely can't wait
It’s bittersweet for me. I’m so excited for the new game but I’m also half way through a park I’ve been working on for some time now 😅
I do hope we get an economy based on day night cycles. A proper way to make dark rides in the daylight would also be nice.
Looks amazing, thank you for the analysis! Great the sequencers are coming back, but for me they need a HUGE UI/UX upgrade. The PlanCo 1 sequencer was super tedious and exhausting to use. Here i would hope for a more RCT3 like fireworks show editor. The new scenery options sounds great and I think they don't need to add separate colourable and non-colourable elements with just a "orignal" or "natural" color option. Here I also hope for a better rotating tool than in PlanCo 1. Really looking forward to the stream on July 31st
I'm excited for it. All the decorating and path changes are what I'm here for, especially if the game's been better optimized so you can build megaparks without turning your apartment into a sauna.
YES AETHON IS BACK
Josh is gonna have fun with this
It looks like the way restraints lock down on guests is different in the opening shot of the dive coaster the restraints had different highlights that they were locked to this would be a nice touch of realism
YES PLEASEEEE
My personal biggest worry is game optimization. The first game, you couldn’t truly build the park of your dreams with a realistic amount of guests because no system could handle it. You could never have a park the size of cedar point or Disney and have the same amount of guests (20-50k) because your system couldn’t handle it. And that was just crushing to me because every time you built you knew there was a limit to the “simulation” experience. There’s hope with this one though, with it being likely built on dx12 and releasing on consoles day 1, they must have a lot of confidence in optimization this time
thank you for the information based silv
You're welcome based mineral

"Parkinglotrealismnerds." That was personal 😤
😅😅😅
Not personal, but clearly the message found its intended target ;)
Ay mate glad see back again and plant coaster 2 very happy see your able theme flat ride big upgrade and water slide bring me back rct 3 age and hope your doing well
This game is going to be INCREDIBLE.
Hopefully other trailers will be coming. I really hope they make it so we can make true shuttle loop coasters with trains that launch out of the station
So cool I hope they add a guest walk around mode I know they have the guest but it would be cool just to be able to walk around as your own guest 😊
I'm alright and very happy with what they have already said personaly !
I just hope they add special track elements such as drop tracks / switch tracks and what not.
But overall i'm like everybody, happy but careful about what eventually will come out.
HOLY SMOKES that looks so gooooooooddd aaaauuuughhhhhh
First thing when I saw trailer can’t wait to see @silvarret reaction!
There is potential for greatness if they keep developing after release and deliver more future expansions. Hopefully there isn't delay after delay keeping us waiting like the first time. My computer was already over a year old by the time the first one came out.
Looks like we getting finally RCT4❤
I also hope that by showcasing hotels that they explore that and restaurants more. It was good to have it in PC1 but decorating it made no sense since it was just a single box guests entered. I'd love to see dynamic open restaurants that we could customize the actual layout, add amenities, manage employees / menus, etc
This is really niche but I really hope we have tube management and tube slides in general. I love it so much.
I really really hope they revamped the smoothing system so we can all make buttery smooth coasters faster and focus more on making them look amazing, especially since we can decorate them fully
I have to agree with you on this. I remember watching your stuff back when we were all in the early access days of Planet Coaster 1, and honestly at the moment this just feels like RCT 3: Soaked (Planet Coaster edition). I haven't seen anything yet that really feels like this is a true sequel vs just being an expansion. Like, the visuals still look like Planet Coaster 1 and I don't feel like there's been that much improvement in that area... and since they didn't show much of anything else off to us, it's honestly kind of hard to be as hyped as I want to be. I mean, I'm still really excited for it, but not as excited as I thought I'd be for a Planet Coaster 2 announcement.
I'm also curious to see how the collision detection works or whether we'll have to work with barriers again...😊 Unfortunately, there's no real multiplayer to build a park at the same time. That would have been a game changer🎉!! And I would have expected the Western and Pirate themes to be standard. But I'm already looking forward to some great parks from you🤩
I wish we could get a modern inamin blitz, like toutatis, pantheon and velocicoaster. And importing custom train models would be nice too, sorta how you would do it in NL2.
I just hope we get most of the flat rides we already had, especially in base game, for this new version. Where is the carousel? More traditional Ferris wheel? Bumper cars? Parks need to have these classics.
3:17 You mean flanges, and yeah that's my main grip so far!
Also nerdy fact, but open flumes are not as flexible in layout design that closed tubes. Open flume often have a set decline rate and you cannot diverge from that (but there are straight drop pieces - or if really needed you can cast a unique mold for a custom section), whereas closed tubes can be rotated along their flanges to produce curved drops and different steepness. That process is called dialing.
9:58 It's the Zamperla Zetta swing, which makes me think they partnered with Zampi on that game. That and the Gryphon are pretty new Zamperla products...
OMG SCALING SCENERY PIECES! YESSSS!!
10:38 Things you can do with attaching scenery on a flat ride: build your entire park attached to a tea cup so it rotates lol
I need those cyclone/hurricane style slides or the funnel type, I love riding those
I hope there are custom supports - dragging supports from the track to place it somewhere
Do you think parks will be able to be transferred from pc1 to pc2?
