I don't mean to be heretic about ttd/locomotion but after seeing what the demo of the new RCT3 is - fully 3d, nice grapiscs, etc. I thing i'll be sticking to it. Thw only new feature in locomotion that i really want to see in ttd is playfield rotation - in fact i was thinking of a way to acheive it by saving the same and rotaing the tiles in the save. It is trivial but complicated to do. Some graphics wont be ok, but roting on 180 degress would be fine . well graphis wont be ok. as for rct3 - the engine is wery good and the trakbuilding is more conveniet. only the put the simcity 4 interface in. but i can sware maxis were bought by EA not Atari.
