Looks nice, turn-based too. Here's the description under the vid:

Eventually he establishes his own crime syndicate and becomes the de facto ruler of Atlantic City.

Where did this game come from? Sounds really interesting
 
Can I have this guy on my team?

Wow, this looks awesome, love Tropico 3 and 4 too (Though 1 is still my favourite, 3 and 4 don't even have Lou Bega as a playable character, psssh). It looks a little more hands on than Gangsters: Organized Crime was, which was a great game, but it certainly looks fun.
 
This looks pretty intriguing, but the gameplay trailer really gave off XBLA vibes and not full retail. I don't think I'd be willing to pay $60 for this, but if it's released in the $20-$40 range I'd totally pick it up.
 
And I was like "looks like I wont be buying any more games this year".

DAM.

I MUST HAVE THIS NOW.

I hope it has an interesting single player campaign/story. Best thing about the period were the relationships between all the gangsters and corrupted city officials...

Couldn´t they have licensed Board Walk Empire from HBO for the characters? that would have been amazing.
 
We got a chance to sit down with the guys and play this at Gamescom - easily one of the surprises of the show for me.

Why do they bother releasing it on a console?

The Tropico developer always releases their games 360 and PC. Not sure why, but it must be worth it if they keep doing it.

I hope with stuff like Windows 8 coming out they are thinking about how the game can work with just the touch screen.

Doubt Board Walk Empire would want any chance of tainting their highly polished production.

Hope it's more polished visually than the trailer. As mentioned earlier looks a little rough but that turn based style has me sold!
 
Holy shit. It's like X Com: Boardwalk Empire

amazing. Day one if the impressions are decent. And most of the characters from the show will be in here since they're mostly non-fictional entities.

This game was so fucking hard... I never really understood what the strategy to actually winning this game was. Loved it though. Never played anything like it before or after. Still have the disc.
 
Looks pretty tame for a gangster themed game. :\

Still, love me some TBS. It's got a long way to go to convince me that it'll be worth playing, though. Top notch TBS games are absolutely my favourite...but I have no time for average or poor TBS titles.

Also...has anyone found the official site? I'm starting to get the impression they are sending them one out to die. I don't want to waste a 1/2 hour watching a clip to see if it has the features I expect in a TBed game. I want to be able to read it in 5 minutes.
 
I'm a fan of Haemimont Games' work so I'll be keeping an eye on this. The setting and theme appeals to me in a big way too.
 
I remember playing a very similar looking game when I was younger. Don't remember at all what it was called though.
