I think you'll find I posted about this in the film topic this morning.

 

[gavin]

^And I think you'll find you posted it in the "Now Showing" topic. Is it showing now?

 

[Martyn B]

Wtf?

How....just, what?

 

[Snoo]

Oo Sony.

 

[madhjsp]

This sounds like the kind of thing only CollegeHumor could cook up.

What?

How will this make a good story?

 

[RCF]

Kind of like what they said in the film topic, maybe someone has to try and help save a company from another company or something?

 

[Martyn B]

Wow, that sounds like a thrilling plot!

Cant wait for this now

 

[Pokemaniac]

Woo, a Norwegian guy is set to direct the movie!

And... if this becomes a success (haha)... will there be a possibility of an RCT4?
*cue debate*

 

[QWERTYkid911]

No. Please no more. The chances of them making another good game are way too small.

I'm so...confused. What will the plot be? The only two possibilities I can come up with are that it'll either make no sense and be absolutely horrible or it'll be a groundbreaking success that takes an idea that seems useless and somehow manages to make it amazing.

 

[Ploddish]

Well, since the games HAVE no plot, they have a looooot of space to work with. As long as it contains coasters, it's pretty much anything goes...

Done by the people who did Norbit though, so no chance.

 

[Jools]

Even thought it only has to contain roller coasters, i can't think of any plot that would be remotely interesting to the GP.

 

[wash]

Really? How greedy can Hollywood get? Why can't they just stick to movie premises that make sense like Battleship or Monopoly...

 

[wabbit42]

Just... What?

 

[Tomatron]

I hope this doesn't get made.

There's a million better computer games to make a film out of. Leave this one source of uber-geekiness on the internet where it belongs.

I initially thought Jake was taking the piss when he mentioned this the other night. Sadly not.

 

[The Deadman]

get ready for the sequel, Sea World Tycoon. where the park in Australia tries to take down the 3 parks in the US down to rule the world!!!

 

[CMonster]

Haha, Sea World Tycoon, now that was a bad game! :lol:

 

[The Deadman]

ehh, it was decent. Zoo Tycoon was bleh
