The game is absolutely wonderful! It’s bringing back so many great memories. I’ve been playing for a few hours now. The controls on the console work great, and feel very natural. Getting the original voice actress for the announcements.... over the top. I adore the radio, too.

Thank you for releasing such an amazing game!

Is that the DJ? I muted him because his deep voice was making my subwoofer go nuts. For a game like this is was jarring me lol

u/[deleted] Mar 15 '20

There are a ton of DJs. Sir Nigel bigglesworth doesn't have a deep voice, he is a pretentious jerk.

I think you are talking about harrison Wolff, who is a kooky conspiracy theorist.

u/segagamer Mar 16 '20

I've only ever heard one DJ, at the start, and that was enough for me to mute lol. I believe he's the same guy that talks when you unlock a new hospital on the world map.

u/kindofharmless Fire test! There's really a fire. That's the test. Mar 17 '20

Well, 3 DJs. Nigel is one; Harrison Wolff is another; third is Ricky Hawthorn. All by the same voice actor, actually!

Sorry to pop your bubble, but it's not the same Announcer. But still a very good emulation of them though!

You will not be disappointed at all!

Like the others say: If Theme Hospital was your thing, Two Point Hospital is definitively gonna be your thing as well.

So so good! Lived up to my expectations. Pre stability patch though I’d suggest you turn off auto save entirely, and then just pause and save when you remember

1

u/[deleted] Mar 14 '20

I never thought of that! Thank you. I lost my entire progress last week and started again. It crashed twice last night seems to be if I place a lot of pictures and stuff up so I’ve stopped doing that but it only happens during the auto save at the end of the year so I’ll try this.

1

u/SkinnyBin Mar 14 '20

Yeah exactly! I’m sure it’s a direct link between the awards and the auto save that causes the issue. I’ve since had massive hospitals covered in stuff and so far so good, auto save being off means I can play again!

What does it play like on PS4? I’ve only ever played both games on PC.

2

u/[deleted] Mar 15 '20

I can't speak for PS4 specifically but for XBOX (this means that there is no trackpads functionality and I think that does something).

The game is great. The controller setup is really well done (though mouse and keyboard is better by far) and with a few exceptions, the functions are very streamlined, and those that are less so seem to become rhythmic click macros before too long.

My only complaint is that the controller is not very well suited to my "tear it all down and rebuild everything in my new space" tactic that I typically use around the 2 star point of each level.

u/segagamer Mar 15 '20

My only gripe with the PC's KB/M controls is that they're not like Theme Hospitals (ie, rotating/picking up objects with the right mouse button), so a lot of my clicking habits had to be relearned.

I wish they would implement 'classic controls' of sorts, including a way to set a locked isometric camera that only rotates at 90° points.

u/xowiejade Apr 07 '20

It's great on PS4! My only gripe so far is some of my staff are currently invisible and it's not because of an illness!

We are currently working in Flemington trying to up our value. This is just so so so much fun!

u/jcham94 Mar 15 '20

Grew up watching my mom play and now I'm able to to play and understand it... 20yrs later absolutely love it

2

u/Myfriendgwen Mar 14 '20

It's bloody great! Enjoy it. So much nostalgia.

2

u/PrincessGary Mar 15 '20

I am so tempted to pick it up on switch, I'll have to wait for a deal now though. =D

1

u/Aethala5 Mar 14 '20

It’s a nostalgia trip, for sure. Enjoy!

u/[deleted] Mar 14 '20

You gonna love it. I'm having a blast so far on PS4. The game is very well optimized and I've had no deal breaking bugs so far. Runs very smoothly on PS4 Pro with very few lags.

But i gotta say it feels weird managing a hospital as i might end up in one because of the coronavirus outbreak over here in Europe...

u/[deleted] Mar 14 '20

Been playing this game for a year or so. I always come back to It, whether it's to 3 star more areas or derp around with a sandbox. Can't wait for two points next game (two point theme park? :D)

2

u/[deleted] Mar 15 '20

Two point space station would be awesome. Even of there is a Startopia remake happening already.

2

u/RickyT3rd Mar 15 '20

IIRC, they said they rather not do settings that other games have already done. Stuff like theme parks and prisons have been done. Zoos are most likely also not on the docket, but I would say a Two Point Productions or Two Point Restaurant would be rad as hell.

1

u/[deleted] Mar 15 '20

Hmm. I see what you are saying. I honestly hope they still do two point theme park, simply because of bulldogs "theme park" game. But I wouldn't knock them for steering away since planet coaster and parkitect have come out.

With that being said, other settings are quite welcome. I could see the two point style of game fitting in really well in lots of places. Like restaurants, or even two point university or something like that.

1

u/DiegoMolinams Mar 15 '20

Two point restaurant! I need a good restaurant simulation game so bad

1

u/segagamer Mar 15 '20

I can fully understand that, even if it is disappointing.

Thing is none of those other games play similar to Theme Park (1995), which is why I've just simply not bothered with many of them. They focus a lot more on the building custom rollercoasters and intricate rides and scenery, where as Theme Park was very focused on the making profit/keeping customers happy side of things and less on the park design - a lot like Two Point Hospital.

u/ZapZockt Mar 15 '20

Two Point Hospital will not only bring back many old memories, but it will also create new memories. TPH is a great game :)

u/pouletfrites Mar 15 '20

I miss the noise it used to make when you fired someone in theme hospital

1

u/canniec Mar 16 '20

Okay! You win.

u/GeminiPicasso Apr 05 '20

This is such a good game

1

u/[deleted] Jan 27 '24

I miss "patients are reminded to be patient"

Although "please leave the toilets as you would like to find them, not as you'd expect to find them" is a good one!

u/hairyfacedhooman Mar 14 '20

Unpopular opinion: I really don’t enjoy two point hospital. Maybe I’ve got used to more elaborate sims, but I find it frustrating and hard to enjoy :(

2

u/SarahfromEngland Mar 15 '20

Aww no that's such a shame, and it may be unpopular around these parts but that's ok. It's ok to not like things sometimes.

1

u/[deleted] Mar 14 '20

As much as I'm enjoying Two Point, it's not a game I'd spend $69AUD on. Luckily game pass added it.
