Well, as for graphics, mainly the interface, I mean the toolbar, and the bar at the bottom, also the hover buttons - gotta love them!

RCT doesn't fit well in the TT GUI engine - TT+TT GUI = good, RCT+RCT GUI = good, RCT+TT GUI = bad. And RCT1 = RCT+TT GUI.

This also explains one reason I don't like the look of Loco - it is TT+RCT GUI = bad.

I think Locomotion will be a better expansion, because Chris has been playing around and tweaking things since the release of the original TTD. This tells me that he is really inspired by the game. I think all the add-ons and RCT 2 were just to generate some revenue and work off the popularity of RCT. In others words I don't think he was as driven while making RCT 2 as he is and has been in making Locomotion.

He has? Why didn't he ever publish those tweaks?

they took some stuuf out of rct for rct2 like reasearching ride improvements.

RCT and all add-ons ruled.


Patchman, what killed RCTpatch in the end? :?
