Tropico 5 Announced For PS4, Will Take Full Advantage of Console's Processing Power

New game in the series will make its series debut on the PS4, but will also be releasing on the Xbox 360 and PC.

And the exclusives keep on coming and the big guns are still yet to fire.

Edit, next gen exclusive

[Sayai jin]

Now people are counting exclusives by which generation.

Please stop, if it is coming out on other consoles it is not exclusive.

[3-4-5]

Cool But......

Will the game actually work as intended and allow you to make an Island of more than 500 people without it freezing or glitching and erasing your save ?

[amiga-man]

Time will tell but with the extra power of the PS4 there is every reason to think it shouldn't be a problem.

[Bathyj]

Why does it say exclusive. Its not is it?

Anyway, good to see other types of games coming to PS4. Theres no enough stragey or RTS type games on consoles.

[Moncole]

Not an exclusive. Its releasing on PC, PS4, X1 and X360.

[Tatsuya]

almost right there, mate. You got it wrong on the Xbone though.

[Moncole]

It said on wikipedia that is was coming to Xbox One but I guess someone fixed it now.

[Gamer1982]

Thats like saying Titanfall isnt exclusive as its also on 360 and PC.. You xbots are handy to use the word "exclusive" when its not on ps4 but when its not on xbone its not exclusive right? You can't have both Either titanfall and tropico are both exclusive or neither are. Simple as..

[Moncole]

@Gamer1982

Titanfall isn't an exclusive and I am not an Xbot because I never own an Xbox before.

An exclusive is a game that only releases on one system

[Tatsuya]

and.. that's where you are wrong again, there are two types of exclusives.

1) Console Exclusive or Third Party Exclusive such as Titanfall
2) Brand Exclusive/ First Party Exclusive such as Uncharted

Know your facts before you want to comment on something.

You're welcome

[Moncole]

There is one type of exclusive and thats when its on one system only. Console Exclusive is a buzzword that companies use to make stupid people think they got a game that they only have.

[MRMagoo123]

Console exclusive is a made up term by xbox fans because all the exclusives they had went to other systems like pc, everyone knows an actual exclusive is exclusive to just one console or just PC not to everything but one system, such as titanfall its not exclusive.

[Rockefellow]

It might be next-gen exclusive, but I'm almost certain this was announced for 360 a while ago, which is still another console.

Nice addition for Sony, however. This series has a pretty big following, and plays rather well with a controller-- and the touchpad could be used in some great ways.

[KrisButtar]

Is this game like Civilization? I've never played it, but it sounds like a Civ game or an Anno game.

[jackanderson1985]

not really no it's more like Sim City than those two.. ur on an island by urself, u've to manage the people while taking in revenue to fund it all.

my recommendation get the Oil Rigs up as soon as possible, best money maker in the game usually

[KrisButtar]

+bubble helpful.

From the quick game descriptions I read, it didn't come across like a Sim City game.

[OrangePowerz]

More like SimCity, Theme Park and those kindof games.

[ThanatosDMC]

Nothing as awesome as Anno but it's acceptable. I hope they fix the AI from 4 because most people wont use the roads properly and you end up with extreme traffic that halts your economy.

[KrisButtar]

Yea I wasn't able to play Anno 2070 until recently even though I bought it at launch because Internet wasn't offered in my area. Now finally having played it, it is truly a great game.

[ThanatosDMC]

@KrisButtar

Yeah, it was on sale on Steam for $14 or $7 recently. If you managed to get the Deluxe version, you'll be able to get all the "achievements" or whatever they call it on Anno.

The Deep Ocean DLC makes the game way too easy though. Money just pours out your islands with the DLC after you have the ability to buy stocks.

[MasterCornholio]

I always thought of it as a Fidel Castro simulator. Its a lot of fun though.

[webeblazing]

Its like simcity on a island where you play as the president . Hopefully they have some good control schemes and good ui because if not its gonna be slow and dumbed down on consoles

[KonsoruMasuta]

I'll wait to see how it is on PS4 but I'll probably just get it on PC. Tropico 4 on 360 was horrible. The game would lag like crazy and crash if your population got too big.

[JOEgolferG]

Classic game! Its more of a political city building game pretty unique to be honest, you should try this game if you haven't played it before.

[MilkMan]

Tropico is cool and all but that aint no system seller. Glad they widening their genres, but really? Since Tropico one the series hasn't been that great. Guess Ill take whatever at this point.

[Hicken]

Don't think anybody's been looking at it as a system seller. Just another game in the library.

[XiSasukeUchiha]

Tropico 5 Sony putting out the big guns!

[KillrateOmega]

Am I the only one who finds it weird that it's releasing on the Xbox 360, PC, and PS4 and not on the Xbox One?

[Hicken]

Especially odd, considering I can't recall seeing the previous games on PS3, but they WERE on 360.

[MRMagoo123]

Maybe they cant get it to run on the xbone very well , its not the easiest game to run for video cards, i know its going to be on the 360 but they probably just lowered everything and made it work because ppl arent expecting too much but to get it to run on the xbone with all the bells and whistles like the ps4 will run it is a different kettle of fish.

[Caleb_H]

Loved the other tropicos, very happy it's coming to the ps4.
