Releases / H2H6 - RR R1: revoLLutionists VS Flying Germans

Will be downloading and writing later
Vote:Undecided(will update later)

I've decided not to vote.

Why? because I can only download one park and not the other(just realized I got rid of LL my last garage sale).

I think it would be unfair to vote without opening up both parks.

GL to both.

I vote revoLLutionists

Okay, two film parks, both Disney films, both two of my favourite films.


RevoLLutionists
I quite enjoyed this and how I recognised everything instantly. There was a bit too much hacking for my liking really, but I don't know what you could have done to get the right feeling without all the hacking in LL, still I think that much hacking takes away from the atmosphere a little bit. The landscaping in this park was much better than in the Germans park, as were the rides in my opinion. To sum up, a solid idea with a good execution, but could be improved upon if given more time. 7.5/10


Flying Germans
Now, I've done my own PotC theme before, and no offence but I think it's a fair bit better than this. The details and references to the movies were all there and pulled off pretty well, especially things such as Jack Sparrow's sinking ship, and what I assume was the Barbossa cave with the undead skeleton things. However, to find these details I had to skim over bad landscaping, poor foliage, some pretty bad architecture for the most part (Such as the top corner in the overview. Highly underdetailed, bad colour choices and boring shapes for the buildings) and a pretty boring coaster. It's a shame because this screenshot is perfect, and the entrance building for the queueline is quite possibly one of the best buildings I've seen in Rct:



But hey, it wasn't a completely awful park. I just think it wasn't good enough to be brought to H2H. 5.5/10

I loved Cars Land, but haven't gotten a good look at the Flying Germans park so I'll hold off on voting.

Radiator Springs was pulled off awesomely for RCTLL.

Very difficult decision for me.

Carsland was really cool; an excellent idea and well executed with some awesome LL archy and detail. However, it felt a little lacking in density - namely the racing coaster. I thought that could have used some more interaction with the pathways, but this is a mere personal preference. Overall: Excellent park.

Adventure Isle: The atmosphere and theme really dragged me into this one. Perhaps not as much as Seas of Sagas/Zombieland, but great none the less. This felt like there was a lot to look at in a small area, contrary to Carsland (again, personal opinions here). The use and themeing of both the mine train and the river ride were really spectacular - the interaction between the two and the environment was immense. Some parts of the park's scenery felt slightly out of place, but it all pulled together very well.

Flying Germans. I thoroughly enjoyed both parks, but this one seemed to outstep Carsland by a few inches.

I'm sorry, but I feel both of these parks would have been demolished by the two from the first matchup.

Adventure Isle just struck me as far below the skill level I expect from H2H. The use of jagged rocks looked amateurish, the gray 1K Ruins objects looked out of place, and the animatronic objects just don't do anything for me. Burning buildings are a great idea, but after seeing them executed so well in Sea of Sagas, the ones in this park just look poorly done. I found the architecture to be plain and uninspired, and the pathing didn't look smooth at all. It was just randomly placed full tiles of different textures. That pirate ship was very nice, though. Overall I just wasn't impressed with this park.

As for Carsland... I had to read the comments before I even knew it was inspired by the movies Cars. But after realizing the inspiration, what I was looking at started to make a little more sense. However, the park didn't do it much justice. The overall composition of content looks like it could be built in about a week with RCT2. I am just not impressed by LL, the lack of detail and non-peepability just ruin any chances the park has in my eyes.

I'm sorry to give such negative reviews of these 2 parks, but after the first matchup, they both just don't generate much excitement. No vote from me for either.

I would have to say Adventure Isle. I'm a big fan of LL but Cars Land didn't have that WOW factor that I have seen LL parks have before. They are both nice parks though. I still vote for the Flying Germans.

Cars Land for me.

"Adventure Isle"
by the Flying Germans

Carsland: this park was pretty balling. The hacking was excellent, especially for LL. I loved the inside of the race coaster, some fun things done in there that RCT2 parks should do but still haven't. While this park was sooo well built, it did lack the atmosphere so important to LL parks. As LL can't get the same amount of details, it needs atmosphere to carry it, and in this park it really didn't seem to hold up.

Adventure Island: This park was spotty for me. There were patches of brilliance and other areas not so much. I'm wondering if it's 100% finished, as there were some areas that seemed bare and rushed. some of the archy, particularly at the entrance area, was brilliant. just filled with so much awesome atmosphere and details. Other areas, particularly the Pirates of Carrabean part seemed comparably bland. I think what bothers me most about this park was concept and layout. The layout seemed unusual, kinda like you built the rides, then realized you needed peeps and then threw in some paths. Why have the entrance to the water ride all the way out there, when it just loops back to where peeps were. And there was almost no station. And overall, this felt like too much of a recreation. It was inspired by water ride that was the foundation for a movie and then changed to replicate the movie? the inside references were so well done, but in a very odd way, it was too close. While i should have been more amazed by what you did, but instead i was kinda used to it, cause i've seen it so many times. It's weird, i can't really explain it.....

Both very good parks. I agree that the first match parks would have beaten both of these, but that's just the way things roll.

Vote ReveLLutionist
-not an easy choice, but this just felt more complete, thought out, and polished.

FK

Adventure Isle, great job

As I said Cars Land was nice but it was not much. I think you would get further with a denser park. Quality is good but in H2H you need quantity as well. If you didn't rely on codex as much and built denser parks, you would get further in this contest. Only use codex where necessary, is my advice. Good luck on your next parks, LLLL!

I think this is sound advice. I don't think the general style of super-codexed parks lend themselves very well to the H2H format. Atmosphere is often lost with these hacks, and atmosphere is HUGE in H2H. Prove me wrong if you can though.

Truth be told, I did not like either park. Cars Land felt empty and I felt a much larger map was needed, paying attention to more of the Cars universe. The racing coasters were utterly boring and did not even race. The buildings were good but I felt every one of them could have been done so much better in RCT2... it feels like a wasted idea, even though there are lots of cool hacks going on, things that I have never seen before or haven't seen for a long time. Great effort, with just so little behind it. Adventure Isle felt simple. I agree with trav on the entrance building, and lots of the details were fantastic, but on the whole it just felt like it was one ride spread into a themed area. I got the sense it was all supposed to be indoors/underground in the same way PotC is at Disneyland. That level of work on a ride or two, indoors, in a larger park would be gold to spotlight material. Here, however, it's just hollow. The station for Tortuga was too sparse, the architecture in general was too boring, and the track for the splash boats was... questionable. This is really close for me, but I'm going to have to give my vote to The Flying Germans.

Both parks look absolutely gorgeous. I'm extremely impressed by Carsland, and am very glad that you guys decided to pursue this theme. Disney for the win!

Adventure Isle was beautiful and very well done. Having just been on the Pirates of the Caribbean ride at Magic Kingdom a few times last week, this one stuck fresh in my head the entire time I was viewing it. Fantastic job on this one!


However, I don't feel justified in voting. I cannot open the LL park, therefore no vote shall be cast.

Excellent work guys!

@Ling I too feel that the 'Cars' theme could have been taken a lot farther than it was.
Adventure Isle wasn't incredibly impressive either, but it was (imo) better than Cars Land.
And no, I'm not trying to compare an apple to an orange (which is really the issue with LL-RCT2 match ups like this; they could both be good on the standards of their own games, which might be hard to choose between.
That said, I vote Flying Germans.

I have never loved an LL park as much as this. Everything seemed fresh, and I was sad to leave it.
Even though I loved the Pirates of the Caribbean river boat ride, I'm voting for the
RevoLLutionists.

whoa..this match is keeping me on the edge. It is hard to forecast who will win.

Carsland, even though I don't have LL this one blew the CHAIR right off me.

Cars land was better imo

i vote for revoLLutionists

Carsland, even though I don't have LL this one blew the CHAIR right off me.

Wow, I hope the chair blew out from under you and you fell flat on your ass for voting for a park without actually looking at it. Shameful...
