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

Wasn't Omerta the name of a place in Jagged alliance?

Silence.

Gotta love that sideways shooting gun.

Why, the gangsters will gangster the gangsters, of course. Gangster style.

The 1920s gangster simulator we've all been waiting for.

uuuugh lol

The tropico people have a thing for simulating the darker side of humanity.

@yevinorion: Pretty sure those were casings.

I like the concept, hopefully they can pull off a fun game.

Tony, Paulie, Sil, Chris, Pussy ASSEMBLE!

Great! Looks like a mix of Evil Genius and Tropico.

Looks and sounds really interesting.

I literally thought the ending was just going to say, "out now!"

@CitizenCoffeeCake: Good reply.

hmm...

El Presidente, we do not have enough police officers and criminals are taking over the city!

So, basically a Gangsters remake.

Now this is a nice surprise i'll definitely give it a shot.

Geez... I thought i watching some sort of Facebook game... but this is an actual boxed product!!!

generally, i enjoy kalypso games, especially the tropico series. But after the debacle of Legends of Pegasus, there is no way i'm buying another game site unseen.

I didn't realize until I watched this video how much I wanted an early 1900's turn based gangster strategy simulator.

What happened with that game? I bought it but have yet to get around to playing it due to work.

Hopefully not as frustratingly difficult as the original, though.

It's terrible, You cant even call it an alpha build its so broke. Tutorial is a joke, the game concepts are a jumble of mess. Check out gamespy's review for more detail. I preordered it based on liking kalypso games and the video's/screens made it look like an old pc game i loved called ascendancy. Its a crime they sold this to us.

Joy. Think I'm done buying these space 4x games. Last one I bought was Sword of the Stars 2 and that launched the same way.

@crusader8463: endless space is pretty good, no story but a solid 4x game. I've got 129 hours played, so i must like it. The combat gets a bit tedious but have said they are gonna give you more control in a future update.

Next time buy a gun with a straight barrel.

For some reason I find "Level 1 Grifter" to be hilarious

Definitely Looks like the Tropico 3 game engine. I am willing to try something new from Haemimont since I enjoyed Tropico 3.

Its is like Gangsters 1 and 2 for the PC *looks to his right at Gangsters 2* and like construction on the ps1? Except not about Construction business with Gangsters elements? Both were haaaard maybe this would be easier?

Gangland is still the best RTS criminal game there is.

WOW! Tripico 5!!!! No... oh no wonder the DLC for Tropico 4 is missing.

And also, you know, the code of silence sworn by newly-made members of La Cosa Nostra.

Nah, I'm good.

that looks interesting

Makes me want a modern x-com terror from the deep game... but gangster themed 8)

@jozzy: Pretty sure those are supposed to be bullet casings haha.

I'm interested. I'd be happy to see more when it gets close to release.

As someone with fonder memories of Gangsters than it probably deserves, I'm irrationally excited about this game.

this looked turn based like the the original fallouts!? sign me up if it plays so!

This reminds me of a Gamestorm game.. Called something crime. It was one of the first online RTS games I ever played. Ofcourse, can't talk about Gamestorm without mentioning Starship Troopers Online and Godzilla online! Two surprisingly awesome games. I wish you could play Gamestorm games still... I miss that place!

Lovely music I must say.

Nice, I love games like this. Between this and X-COM, it seems like a good year for strategy RPGs.

Reminds me of Don mode in Godfather II. That game looked cool and had potential - too bad they had to go and make it a Godfather game.

Old time music gets me every time!

Exactly, that was the capital of the bad gal i JA2.

JA2 is still my favourite game of all times ("Eliott, you idiot!"). I really hope this game will be good
