I Screamride, you Screamride, we all Screamride in March 2015
Rollercoaster crafters - rollercrafters, if you will - can mark March 3, 2015 in their diaries, 'cos that's when the sci-fi thrills of Screamride hurtle onto Xboxen stateside. It's priced $40 on Xbox One and $30 on Xbox 360, but sharing your coaster creations online is limited to Xbox One. Finally, Asian and Euro-rollercrafters can expect the game on March 5 and 6.
Created by Thrillville and Rollercoaster Tycoon 3 studio Frontier Developments, Screamride combines futuristic rollercoaster building with what resembles a dystopian crash test with living dummies. The game features 50 playable levels and 3 gameplay modes: Engineer, ScreamRider, and Demoliton Expert. It's not confirmed but going by the recent preview video, I'd guess ScreamRider's the mode in which you ride coasters and perform physics-defying tricks to make your passengers scream like crazy. As for Demoliton Expert, it's not a giant leap to suspect that's when you're flinging your riders and cars off the rails, with the aim of causing as much destruction and damage as possible.
In short: create, destroy, ride and mass murder, the elite four of video games.
