A new trailer for Tropico 4 confirms one thing: it's more of what Tropico 3 gave us. Which is really all I need to know to make it my third most anticipated game for the rest of this year after Deus Ex: Human Revolution and Arkham City.
Why? Because I put around 80 hours total into Tropico 3 on the Xbox 360. Not because I hated the PC version, but because the control scheme worked well on the console and you could manage the slow-moving life of a banana republic island with your feet up, lying down on the couch. It was the ultimate exercise in laziness!
So here's to 80 more hours of laziness, and I hope we get to kill Juanito again if he makes a reappearance.

On subject: Sweet, more Tropico.
Kidding aside, I can't fucking wait for this! I loved 3.
