RE: Tropico 4 - Modern Times - Official Release Dates/Update: Attention! (Steam-version)
I noticed that although Amazon has the boxed copy available for pre-order, it makes no mention of a downloadable version. Since I got my base game from them, how should I go about getting the expansion? Obviously Steam is out. GamersGate doesn't mention that you need their version of T4, will that work? Otherwise I'm assuming we can buy it right from you at launch (GG has us waiting a couple extra days).

Also, for anyone interested, preordering the GG version has you paying $16 instead of $20.

i would say, you have to buy the extension from the same reseller than the basic game.

at Steam there is acutal also a lower preorder price (€16 instead of €20)

Right, but what if your retailer isn't offering the expansion? All Amazon has up is the boxed DVD version, which also for some reason is $30 instead of $20 before shipping. Although I doubt the boxed edition would work with the digital distribution version anyway.

I'm guessing since the price is blatantly wrong and the download version is missing (they offer all DLC and the base game for download) there was just a communications breakdown between the publisher and Amazon. Hopefully it gets resolved in the near term.

I know the Steam version won't work with other digital versions, but is it possible that I could buy the expansion off of GamersGate and play it with my base game I got off of Amazon Downloads? As posted above, the digital version isn't up for preorder on Amazon yet.

How will this work on the Xbox 360 on the version of the game. It seems to be there is a population capacity at about 600 and there are soooo many new buildings that will require more workers!

Figured I'd try my luck here, any official announcement on a 'gold' edition of Tropico 4? I know that T3 got one and I've yet to buy my copy of T4, so it'd be nice to get them both at the same time.

I know, but it's already out for purchase in the UK so I was hoping that they'd say something. Considering Tropico 4 is already pretty cheap (Less than £8 for a download) and Modern Times isn't that expensive (£15 boxed) it's surprising that they're keeping quiet about it. Doubt that announcing Gold would decrease sales of the expansion, and I also doubt that people would react in any way other than postively

Question RE: Tropico 4 - Modern Times - Official Release Dates/Update: Attention! (Steam-version)
Can someone please explain why Steam is saying the release date is 30 March, but the top thread is stating 28 March?

If you're an Australian too, it's something Steam started doing recently... our dates seem to have been "updated" to be localised, except for images.

I could be wrong, but it applied to a couple of other products unlocking recently...

Yes I'm an Aussie too. *stamps foot* Whilst our March 30 is the USA March 29, still sounds like it's too far away. Smile

I am in Bulgaria and it is 29th. This is probably just steam's localisation. We should ticket the developers to fix it, since the world-wide digital date is 28th of March.

We have good news! Tropico 4: Modern Times will be released simultaneously on XBox Live Marketplace and PC next week on Tuesday, April 3rd (USA). We thank you for your patience and understand the frustration coming from this delay.

PC version is out in Europe already.

^ I hate to break it to you, but that isn't good news... good news would have been it being release tomorrow or something, Kalypso you really need to work harder to improve you distribution.. you struggled to realse the game on time and various retailers had different dates... i ended up recieving it 8 days before the game was meant to be released due to your terrible logistical sense... you have also let me down with the fact that this has been late... a DIGITAL download..

I'm glad it there is at least a date to it now! Thank you. I'm sure there was some kind of mixup. If someone dropped the ball ... I hope you take the appropriate action Wink

I really really hope that you guys keep your word on this date! I understand "stuff" happens but it does come off as unprofessional. I hope your team can figure out where the lack of communication is coming from and that it is worked out.

I've really enjoyed the updates and bonus content that this version has had and I can not wait for this expansion, as well as Tropico V! Your team seems to be paying a lot of attention to the problems and suggestions of the users of the forum.

Keep up the good work guys. No other game like this for Xbox. You have kept my friends and I very happy!
