Tropico 4 Lets You Rule a Gorgeous Tropical Paradise With an Iron Fist

Do want

EDIT: BOOM

Been looking forward to this game

Nice!

Yesssssss

This looks more like another expansion than a real sequel.

Didn't 3 come out not too long ago?

How big is the Tropico following?

@Obsidian: Sure does, even the menu icons for buildings seem to be the same. Unless there's something revolutionary under the hood I'll stick with 3..

I think people who like the games really enjoy them but it's hard to get more people in, probably.

I never really liked the edicts, it seems like they all were detrimental to your rule rather than helping. Except for maybe 3.

Surprised this is considered a full on sequel when it looks broadly the same and only adding new buildings and natural disasters.

I used to play the shit out of tropico 3 at work, hoping this doesn't hook me in the same way.

So its like all the other Tropico games? 

Had fun with the third, will probably have fun with this one!

I didn't play Tropico 3 for too long, but there doesn't seem to be much difference from the looks of this trailer.

The only probably I see with this is that it looks more like an expansion pack similar to Tropico 3: Absolute Power, more than a fully-fleged new game... Graphically it's identical to Tropico 3.

I desperately want to get hooked on Tropico 3, but I've never been able to.

The first Tropico has one of the best soundtracks of any game ever. And the best announcer of any game too (certainly a whole lot better than the crappy one in Tropico 3). 
 
In fact, watching this makes me wanna go install it again. Honestly one of the most relaxing and enjoyable games I've ever played. I remember losing whole weekends to it, building nice little island towns and tourist havens.

Tropico 3 had possibly the funniest quicklook on the site, thats pretty much the only reason i'm looking forward to this.

Thank god. It looks like they made it easy to make square lines around the city for roads. I'm really anal about stuff like that, and it drove me nuts in three because they were always off centre and there was tons of empty space in between places. I despise these type of games when they don't have some kind of snap to grid function.
 
All that said though, I think I will be waiting for a Steam sale. Looks like it could have been an expansion for 3 instead of a full blown numbered game. $15-$20 will be the magic number for this game.

Yep.

Yes please

Maybe I'll check to see what expansions have come out for 3. When I saw a new one was coming out I was stoked, but the trailer does just look like 3.

Tropico 3 came out last year somewhere around this time.

Got Tropico 3 on a recent Steam sale and loved it - but this looks almost exactly the same. Even the buildings are identical! Seems like a lazy sequel that should have been an expansion.

This looks like perfect Steam holiday sale fodder. I'll see you in January, Tropico 4.

More Banana Republic shenanigan!

I only ask that there's more than 5 songs in the game this time around.

This looks just like a big expansion for 3.

And 3 was awesome, so I'm on board.

Cant wait for Tropico 4 quick look.

@Obsidian: The price will most likely reflect that.

Played hours of tropico 3. Tons of fun. Can't wait!

EL PRESIDENTE!

Gotta love the music in this series.

Looks like a lot of fun, looking forward to seeing more of this.

I love games like Tropico. Sadly, I don't love Tropico.

Quite disappointed. It looks very similar to Tropico 3.

I love to be EL PRESIDENTE!

I hope Mike & Dave do a Quick Look of this when this comes out. I dig GB's PC quick looks. They always seem to find cool games to show off, that are a complete 180 from many of the console games getting that love. And this one looks cool .

As much as I loved the third one, I don't see much reason to get this one.

This looks exactly the same as Tropico 3.

I have a copy of Tropico 3 I haven't had the equipment to play since it was on sale at the start of last year. In the meantime I downloaded the first two (yes I did buy them), and they were okay, but I can't really enjoy old games as much as new games.

This is the most pathetic looking sequel I've seen since DNF. =/

I love me some Tropico 3...but this looks exactly like Tropico 3...

This is Tropico 3.

Seems like more of a expansion pack to Tropico 3 then a full new game.

I always wanted to buy Tropico 3. Maybe this is the time to do so

Tropico is pretty great, but this kinda just likes the same old thing, more like an expansion than a genuine sequel.  We'll see.
