In Omerta: City of Gangsters, You Build Your Own Boardwalk Empire

Maybe they should have omitted "Omerta" from the title. Seems like something that was just called City of Gangsters would probably sell more.

Looks a lot like the old Maffia game . Not the first person one ,but the sim one . Maybe by an obscure developer if i recall right . Yeah , Gangsters , thats what it was !

Why oh why, do they release a trailer where the animation obviously and completely janks out? We all know it's not a technical limitation anymore, it's just really poor polish not to make those things look right. Especially so in presentation material like this.

Yeah, it was an unusual choice, considering that the game is supposed to take place in Atlantic City. Omerta, as I understand it, was an oath of silence which typically occurred between La Cosa Nostra in New York, whereas Atlantic City was more of a straight prohibition-dodging racket.

Still, really excited about this game. If it weren't for suckers like me, Kalypso probably would have gone under years ago.

@bwmcmaste: Its also the name of the last book in Mario Puzo's mafia trilogy. Haven't read it. Heard its not very good.

Could potentially be interesting. I really hope it has a little more depth than Tropic, which I liked, but always left me a little unsatisfied..

This looks like it could be pretty cool. I will have to keep an eye on this one.

It was good until things started actually happening. Not acceptable for any game made after 1995

Oh hell yes, I've been waiting a decade for the return of sim/rpg games like this.

I too really enjoyed Gangsters, and this seems to be very similar.

In what respect?

Tropico 5: Gangsters

It's a strategy game so shut the fuck up about the animation you console jerks.

Holy crap that looks really bad.
