Since the recent announcement that Atari will be launching a mobile version of the franchise in 2014 &#8211; RollerCoaster Tycoon 4 Mobile &#8211; there has been a lot of negative comment online.<\/p>\n<p>The YouTube video posted below is indicative of this, with 134 likes versus 4,871 dislikes at the time of publication.<\/p>\n<p>Atari announced RollerCoaster Tycoon 4 Mobile on March 17 &#8211; available for\u00a0\u00a0iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch &#8211;\u00a0with a PC &#8220;experience&#8221; launching later in 2014.<\/p>\n<p>On\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/np.reddit.com\/r\/gaming\/comments\/20m39x\/rct_fans_reacting_the_only_way_possible_to\/\" target=\"_blank\">Reddit<\/a>, Tisaric commented: &#8220;I&#8217;m almost hoping this flops so we see the end of RCT than it flourishing and Atari only tarnishing the name more than it already is.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/np.reddit.com\/r\/gaming\/comments\/20m39x\/rct_fans_reacting_the_only_way_possible_to\/\" target=\"_blank\">jwilphl <\/a>posted: &#8220;Companies like Atari go for a cash-grab rather than making a real effort at production.

If the PC version isn&#8217;t a full on game improving on RCT3, the way it should be, I won&#8217;t even look at it. As it stands, I&#8217;m not touching that mobile garbage with a 10 foot pole.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/iomc1P7HaX8?rel=0\" height=\"338\" width=\"600\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>What do you think &#8211; Yes or no to Roller Coaster Tycoon 4 Mobile?
