[Vivs]

Looks promising!

I wish Brenda Romero & her team the best of luck.

if someone fails us, can we cut of their pinky? or send a horse head to a rival gang leader? please say yes.

I certainly hope so!

 

[Dunbal]

Very nice introduction. I'm going to give this game a shot. Go to it, Brenda!

 

[Jopa79]

The atmosphere of the early 1900's is almost palpable! Wow!

 

[Conqueristo]

After reading that Dev Diary, count me as super hyped!

 

[Pzt_Kami]

While reading this I immediately reminded of "Gangsters: Organized Crime" game which I really loved despite being complex ! I hope this game is more like that

"The creativity The Place lacked in its name it more than made up for in its history" -> My flawed english is confused, I am sure it makes sense but I am not competent enough to understand ^^'

I am eager to play this game !
If the devs do allow us to create "an empire in the shadow of the law" from scratch, manage to make this whole process enjoyable and if there is late game content (e.g. you have built your empire and fully control Chicago, now you have new rivals like the big boss of LA, the big boss of NY etc, and you have to compete against each other in order to grow and maintain the control over some key places like Reno, Las Vegas, Atlantic City, or some military smuggling routes like the French connection, etc). So, I hope there will be some "inside Chicago" gameplay (like seen on screenshots and E3 vid), but also some "US map management" for the late game.
Wait and see.

 

[Leandor]

Ah, yes, good choice having a Romero as Game Director. Mercedes would be proud.

 

[NarcosCatolicos]

Good luck to you Brenda and the entire dev team! As a fan of the old Gangster game series, I'm certainly very interested.

 

[fr-rein]

This game will clearly need a gopnik mode

"The Place" is one of the most uncreative Names for a Pub you can think of. That's what she tries to say. But it has a colorful History

 

[General Von Trapp]

I’ve wanted to make it for over 20 years

Did Brenda Romero play Gangsters Organised Crime?

It was released on 30th November 1998 according to Wikipedia and that combined with more role playing would be awesome. It would not have to be the same but some management strategy and role playing would be great.

Looking forward to it.

 

[GrindyGrimmace]

I like fun

 

[TheMarlowe]

As a huge JA fan, I hope this one can be nearly as fun as that series was.

 

[SnakeInATopHat]

I haven't seen a good criminal empire game yet, hope this one is different.

 

[Rygortwin]

Lookin Forward to this

 

[Pleonast]

Good day, citizens of Chicago!

I'm happy to start off the weekend with Empire of Sin's very first dev diary.

Link to dev diary.

This one is written by the Game Director, Brenda Romero, and explains why Romero Games decided to make Empire of Sin. I hope you like it.

The link to the dev diary doesn’t work. Is there an overview of the game somewhere else?
