[Suavemente1974]

Wow, that was quick. After the success they've had with Tropico 3, publisher Kalypso Media made an announcement that Tropico 4 is currently in development. Haemimont Games are, once again, brining the title to PC. What's different this time around is that the developers are also looking to bring the game to consoles - an announcement on that will be made soon. Word is that in Tropico 4, El Presidente returns to the island of Tropico, and this time, he’s bringing new enemies and allies along for the ride, as he fights to turn his little island into a superpower. New content and gameplay features will influence whether our fearless leader can create a feared superpower, or become nothing more than a small-time banana republic ruler. Here are the main features of Tropico 4:

• New campaign consisting of 20 missions on 10 new maps
• 20 new buildings including Stock Exchange, Shopping mall, Aqua Park and a Mausoleum to El Presidente
• Six new Interactive disasters including volcanoes, droughts and tornadoes
• Council of Ministers - appoint selected citizens to ministerial posts in the government to help push through your more controversial decisions

The Xbox 360 version of Tropico 4 has been delayed. It had been pegged for release in mid-September, but will now launch on 18th October in the US. That's a Tuesday, so we will probably get it on Friday, 21st October. We're checking with the UK arm of publisher Kalypso Media now. The PC version is out. Eurogamer's Tropico 4 review returned a 7/10, Dan Whitehead wrote:

It's hard not to like Tropico 4, because it's based on a solid foundation that is naturally engaging. It was and remains an enjoyable if slight take on a dry genre. Its tragedy is that it hasn't bothered to build anything worthwhile on top of that foundation, preferring instead to coast on jaunty music that makes you feel like you're playing in Nando's and broad satire that fails to sustain the game beyond the first few days of play.

Kalypso Media now offers a new Megalopolis DLC pack for Tropico 4, adding a new campaign, new avatar clothing, and more to the island dictator sequel. This is not mentioned on the World of Tropico, but they say the DLC is now available for the Windows edition though the Kalypso Launcher and various digital distributors, and is expected for the Xbox 360 edition later this year. Here's word on the pack:

Build the largest city in the Caribbean! It’s up to you to decide how to deal with the problems that come with a massive influx of immigrants looking to join your society. Manage issues like unemployment, over-population and food shortages. Make use of the Conventillo, a cheap new residential building that maximizes living space at a minimal cost. As El Presidente, try on a decidedly more old-fashioned suit and spice it up with a classic monocle and mayoral necklace. The new bureaucrat trait helps you build cheaper residential buildings and earn bigger profits with the “building permit” edict.

• New building: Conventillo : Cheap housing with plenty of room to spare, but degrades over time and has to be frequently repaired
• New trait: Bureaucrat: Build cheaper residential buildings while earning more profits from the new “building permit” edict
• New outfit: Mayor (male avatar), includes monocle, dress suit and special necklace
• New mission: Megalopolis

This trailer introduces the rogue's gallery of NPCs in Tropico 4 Gold Edition, the recently released bundle of Tropico 4 and the Modern Times expansion for the construction/management game. Word is:

The “Meet the Rogues” video features such offbeat characters as the ever-intellectual Miss Pineapple, the incredibly intolerable Sunny Flowers and the overbearing General Rodriguez. Each of these NPC’s will challenge your skills as a leader, tasking you with different missions to complete, while helping (or hindering) your island’s progress from backwater banana republic to global superpower. Download the new trailer now for a quick look at the humorous personalities that make Tropico 4 Gold Edition much more than a simple city-builder.
