For those of you that have the PS4 and love the fact that sometimes you get to play games that are not available on other consoles or even the PC, there is one more coming your way “very soon”. The game is called Tropico 5 and if you are familiar with it then you know how much buzz there will be around it. The game is published by Kalypso Media and they claim that the actual release will be “very soon”.
In the meantime, however, the company released the first trailer for the video game and in it you can clearly see the type of PS4 gameplay that you are going to be messing with. During the trailer, experienced gamers will also notice that some of the features are revealed as well. This will be the first time that any Tropico game is released on the Playstation console and it looks like that is the only place you will be able to play it.
Basically, and if you are not aware, Tropico 5 is a city building game that is likely to bring back the old feelings that you had when you played the original Sim City. The difference here is that the game is also a political simulator, allowing players to take on the role of El Presidente to see if you can rule over the small Tropico location in the tropical, Caribbean setting. The producer of the game, Timo Thomas, said that you start building your city by adding small housing and slowing moving on to expanded buildings and other things that are experienced by many metropolis style cities have in the real world.
Just like most of the other city building games on the market today and back in the day, you will also have to build a commercial district and one of industry so that you can lure citizens into your city to work. When the citizens are working, they are spending money and paying taxes and your city is allowed to grow, making the entire thing a vicious cycle that you must learn how to balance in order to keep everything in order.
The most difficult thing to manage will be the politics of the city. Always one of the most difficult things about a real city and now you can manage that right in the game. Create new things, use the natural resources that are offered to you and invest in the technology boom to see your city grow into a large, booming metro area with thousands of people. One the PS4, Tropico 5 is expected to be a winner and the graphics at 1080p at 30 frames per second is going to be a valued feature.
