New Tropico 3 Trailer

[Shearwater]

I've downloaded it with about 1100 kB/s
Too bad it needs a video card with shader 3.0 - even as minimum system requirements. The game runs, but the water looks kinda weird - on my brand new notebook. Then again, I bought it for writing my essays and not for playing

Damn it, I used to max my line from filefront before the site died and came back to life, now I get 100kbps. 270kb from gamershell is the best i get at the moment.

Hahahaha, this is fantastic, I am buying this game.

I dragged out the original tropico last night and played a while.

Its still a fun game but I was supprised and reminded just how much of it had been 'lifted' from Railroad tycoon II. From menu layouts to sounds.

Tropico at that time was by pop top whom were the remnants of gathering of developers or GOD if you will. All of which were under Sid Miers.

So I ask is Sid or anyone from GOD still involved with the project?

Tropico is the only game sound track I have on my I-pod. I hope the origonal music is still there.

[Shearwater]

I just remembered how much I actually sucked at the game. But I guess if it's too tough, I am too weak

Tropico 3 is developed by Haemimont Games, I have no idea if any of the developers of the original Tropico is involved.

Haeminont was involved in producing the original Tropico however it would appear that the old poptop / god and Miers are no longer involved in it.

Still I got the demo last night and messed with it a little bit. Did the tutorial and it is nearly verbatium copy of the original (with shinier graphics) and a few other quirks.

Old Tropico players will find themselves quite at home with this game.

Which to me is a good thing.

When they re-did railroad tycoon as "Sid Miers Railroads" it had very little resembalence to the original and frankly Railroads left me quite dissapointed.

Well I sat through the credits and I can say that none of the original team except the producer are involved with this project.

That doesent really bother me it looks like their team did a good job and ho boy what a list of 'testers'.

Its a shame that good ole pop top doesent even get a passing nod for the concept.

Ah, ok. I didn't know that.

Yes it is quite similar to the original, it didn't take long to get started.
