I've heard a few things about IGN, like it isn't the most trustworthy and balanced source of game coverage (like favoring EA a lot). TL DR: Locomotion was RCT except they removed all the rides except for Miniature Railroad. In the same way, Locomotion looked exactly like RCT, and only slightly different than TTD, but Locomotion just didn't offer enough new gameplay. The fact that RCT2 looked almost exactly like RCT1 was very heavily criticised, but largely looked over because the number of new gameplay elements outweighed the lack of evolution of the engine. Worse still, SC4 was not only a city sim, but also had a functional rail system as well.and it looked f&%king gorgeous:

This game is the same game, but worse for the fact that it hasn't evolved into anything better in a full ten years and that other transport and industry games have come out that have been a thousand times better than it for the fact that they had functional interfaces that provided information and easy construction.įor reference, SimCity 4 was released a year before in 2003 and looked, sounded, and played 100x better than Locomotion. Here's the 2nd paragraph:Ĭhris Sawyer released Transport Tycoon back in 1994. That's not the only reason though, the IGN review from years back does a decent job explaining why it was kind of panned. People expected things to, y'know, change! Instead we got exactly the same UI as RCT2, and when everyone and anyone was moving towards 3D (if they weren't already), the fact that Locomotion released with 2D graphics was kind of a big deal. IIRC, starting with TT, then TTD, then things like RCT (which released 2 expansions), and RCT2 (which also released 2 expansions), and then Locomotion. Locomotion was almost the 10th game made using the same engine. It was released as a brand new game at a time when the concept of "retro" graphics or "indie" development and aesthetics weren't even thought about by the industry. At the time, Locomotion felt really dated.
