AgentOrange330 Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 So I was perusing the Kalypso Media website the other day for the Tropico 4 forums when I came across an announcement for a game called Port Royale 3 coming to the PC. It caught my attention because I love games of that nature (Tropico 2, Sid Meier's Pirates, Uncharted Waters: New Horizons). What really caught my eye was that it said it was also coming to the Xbox and PS3 on September 4th, 2012. Does ANYONE have any info on this game or game series? It looks kind of sweet but I can't find anything at all on it except on Kalypsos website. GameStops website does NOT have it listed but I'm not surprised. Being a smaller developer I've noticed Kalypso doesn't get much love from Microsoft or game retailers. If anyone has ever played any of the others or knows anything about this I'd like to know your impressions... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DecadentBeaver Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 I like them games too, but never heard of Port Royale 3. What's it about? On phone so can't search them forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AgentOrange330 Posted April 21, 2012 Author Share Posted April 21, 2012 It seems to be a 17th century Caribbean simulation. According to the website you can choose either an Adventurer path (ship battles, sword fighting, etc.) or a Traders path (Trade routes, city building, etc). It seems to be based off of their Patrician series which I know only a little about. I see now you can preorder it from Amazon.com for $50 but their release date is wrong. I read some of the reviews from Port Royale 2 and most seemed to enjoy it. This one is aparently being built by one of Kalypsos own in house game developers...

A preview was nice to read as the Port Royale 3 website was kind of lacking. Definetly have this one on my radar now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
