Dictate-'em-up Tropico 5 has been confirmed for PlayStation 4! It will be the first game in the series to appear on Sony hardware ever ever ever.

On PS4 he'll perform like Castro GTX.

Tropico 5 had already been announced for PC, Mac and Xbox 360, although there's no word on Xbox One - nor a release date past 2014. But on PS4, "Tropico and El Presidente have never looked better."

Also dropped (like a political opponent) in the press release was word of multiplayer in Tropico 5, both cooperative and competitive, and for up to four people. This is another series first, and our resident Tropico fanatic Tom Champion still can't picture how it'll work.

Tropico 5 also has dynasties, which allow you and your offspring to rule the tropical island for centuries, from colonial times through World Wars up to the modern day. Previous Tropico games had far narrower timespans, lasting only a few decades under one ruler.

Tropico is an often overlooked settlement-management series, although the games are deliciously corrupt and satirical. The 2009 Tropico 3 had more about it than the 2011 Tropico 4. Let's hope Tropico 5 will trounce the lot.

Not gonna lie, this is incredibly exciting news for me. One of the biggest draws of Xbox 360 for me (still is) is the fact that it got a load of early-in-the-gen RTS ports (Command & Conquer 3; Supreme Commander 2; Tropico 4) which PS3 didn't get, aside from Red Alert 3. Still considering buying a cheap-ass 360 so I can play them alongside Halo Wars, actually.

So for PS4 to be getting this is pretty cool. Though I'm sure it'll be better on PC, I own a whole raft of should-be-played-on-PC games for PS1 (Theme Hospital; Populous; Command & Conquer; Warzone 2100) plus some on PS2 (Age of Empires 2; Goblin Commander) so it's nice to see them coming back to my planned system.



So from 360 to PS4... a trend in this generation

Great new... the game seems good.

I've played the tropico's on PC since the first and while it doesn't exactly lend itself to a joypad I don't think it'll make a big difference since response time isn't really a factor in Tropico's gameplay... I'll be getting this on PS4 c:



Now this is a unique situation......

360 gets a "console" exclusive........or "multiplat not on PS3"

PS4 gets a "generational console" exclusive...........or "multiplat not on X1"

Wow......we both win. lol



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

For a master race PC gamers are very lonely....seeking to put their nose in the console wars business every chance they get.

Because clearly there is a market for console exclusives. I don't have to show you the sales of every 360/PC game throughout the generation.
