Let us know what you think of Greatest Hits! We'll be voting for the next episode this week, and our Patreon also has bunches of other exclusive Noclip videos so if you want to support our small team and this series head over to Patreon.com/noclip – FYI Unreal Tournament and Age of Empires II were 2nd and 3rd last time around. (PS see if you can spot our next doc. it's hidden in the RCT2 gameplay)
It's a shame that you couldn't get Chris Sawyer or anyone from Frontier. Imagine creating those classic RCT games, still considered by many to be some of the greatest games ever made especially within their genre, and never being able to talk about them candidly because of legal nonsense. Anyway I'm glad to see these games get a spotlight as they're absolutely incredible and as someone who's a big fan of amusement parks and lives near Knoebels (sometimes called an RCT park in real life) it's always a nostalgic trip for me.
I also give high praise to Parkitect it's the perfect modern version of classic RCT. Planet Coaster is also amazing, even if you just download other people's incredible parks to experience them.
Chris Sawyer is a wizard!
There will never, ever, be another game like Rollercoaster Tycoon 1/2 – EmpLemon probably
Great doc. Thoroughly enjoyed 👍🏻
This game is incredibly unique in its design and style, there truly isn’t anything else like it – that’s why I think so many people love it. Thanks for making this!
how about a small video on Planet coaster? would love to hear what frontier has been up too since RCT.
Great work by all
Damn, I love that 80s-style intro! And of course the beginning of this series 😀
before the video; "what I'm I gonna eat tonight" After the video; Why the hell tired people drown more slowly! 😀
that intro slaps
RTC was programed using assembly?! I cannot imagine programing an entire game that close to the metal. Hats off to Sawyer for that, sheesh!
Loving the Marcel Vos interview. It's great to hear him talk a bit more candidly.
thank you for making a docu on one of the classic games ever made
Ey don't think I didn't see that Unreal Tournament logo in the intro.. bring the dream documentary home Danny, bring the dream home.
Marcel Vos. AYYYYYY
I used to be frightened when all the guests would turn and face the camera, clapping.
H E L L O E V E R Y O N E
This is a wonderful documentary and I'm gay.
All strategy and RTS games that went 3d went down hill. I still prefer the 2d look.
very nice and interesting video, but for the parkitect guys, you say its also 'behind the scenes of a park' but the game also has no transfer track in the game? like all games, i very miss that
I remember waking up early before elementary school to play this game!
Best show!
The quality of noclip docs in our favorite games of the past.
Awesome
your subtitles are really off around minute 23 or 24-25
"it's not a video about him, it's a video For him" brb tearing up :')
For the algorithm
The moment you mentioned RCT content creators I knew I was gonna hear a "Hello everyone, and welcome to another veedeo" at some point in the doc.
I got a chuckle at "developed a love of riding roller coasters" while showing a Vekoma SLC, oft ranked as the worst roller coaster model ever built. That thing inspires many things, but love is not one of them!
32:05 A legit "understandable, have a nice day" moment, glad it is being made known what Chris Sawyer himself thinks
Marcel vos needs to prepare for a shitload of subscribers!!!!!!!!
Townscraper is simply my favorite town building game
it's relaxing and fun
Great video as always, propper journalism at its finest. Please could I ask what the credits song is? Sounds amazing!
I play on my iPad now which was originally bought for work. Highly recommend
This was the perfect distraction from the GB news, thank you. Amazing as always.
"drop the mic and walk away" Thank you Chris from the bottom of my heart.
This is so damn good. The intro… holy moly. Truly got goosebumps.
