I think there's even more of that going on with X-Com, but yeah.
I don't 'get' the X-Com reboot either. |

And probably infested to the gills with console-style snap-to-structures bullshit etc.

The first rumors of Starbreeze developing a Syndicate game were 3 years ago so presumably they've been working on it a long time. |

Makes sense. There was too much polish for just a makeshift "this is what we're thinking of making" demo.

Meh. Looks like a couple novel twists, but mostly a lot of generic shooter. So tired of that genre.

I should get back to nature, too. You know, like going to a shop for groceries instead of the computer. Maybe a condo in the woods that doesn't even have a health club or restaurant attached. Buy a car with only two cup holders or something. -Signe

I always thought some kind of Syndicate MMO would be cool. Form giant corps and do missions against other squads for territory/research/money/whatever. Wouldn't know if your current mission was going to be PVE, or PVP (Always have a one minute load time regardless as it waits for another Squad to queue up)...Until the shit jumps off that is!
Have 5 v 5 squad battles you could queue up for like a battleground...
2 v 1 (attackers v defenders) - where the defenders all get Gauss guns and the attackers mediocre weapons...
etc etc

WoW didn't have players controlling squads so it is impossible for another mmog publisher to do that.
Anyway if they make Syndicate into DR:HE without boss fights then that sounds good enough for me. A DoW2 style thing would naturally be better, but meh consoles. You people buying xboxes are literally funding terrorism.

Very nice trailer showing something a little more deep than your standard gun and cover FPS play. I think it still has an atmosphere of Syndicate about it, though obviously the trailer concentrated on some smart action rather than showing menus and loadouts so I'm still interested to see if or how they bring that aspect into the game. The crying shame is the idiot comparisons to Deus Ex that are already inevitably starting up. Game's been in development for 4 years, for a start. How ready it is at this point is up in the air but they must be pretty confident if they're gunning for a february release. I'm still hopeful.

Careful - Velorath will come and get you! What can I say. One thing I find more repetitive and generic than shooters is jaded, cynical game commentary. I'm not sure when it became a sin to not want to dismiss a game completely just based on the announcement. |

Comparisons to another game in a corporation dominated future, where you develop characters by buying augmentations then enter flexible shooty missions that can be completed in a variety of ways wouldn't be out of order even if they were remaking the original game.

Of course it's valid to dismiss the game based on an announcement or trailer. What I wanted is a sequel to Syndicate not another FPS. If you are a chess player and dearly hoping for Chess 2, only to find out it a twitchy first person action shooter for console only you'd be upset too! |

Syndicate was p twitchy for a squad rts. More so than say, dow2.
You all just don't remember it that way because you were on a sugar high at the time.

Look like I'll buy it on Steam for 5 bucks some day if it gets good reviews. Single player FPS isn't something I have time for anymore usually. |

I get the feeling I could just watch playthroughs of most single player games these days on youtube and feel like I got just as much out of the experience as actually playing them.

Probably more, as you wouldn't feel the jarring control system. |

Probably more, as you wouldn't feel the jarring control system. There's even another depressing news, just watched Aliens: Colonial Marines, another upcoming FPS...Gawd, it's terribad. Why is there such a FPS demand like this? If this is what Sega is thinking about after ditching Obsidian's proposal for an Aliens RPG, I guess I'm done with FPS for a while. |

Why? Because it just is. It looks clumsy as all fucking hell, it is inaccurate, it's inefficient and it represents literally everything I perceive as wrong with FPS gaming today. The only thing missing from that video was snapping to structures, and it would be the complete anti-tgr experience.

Why?
I think tgr tells it best. The guy wasn't even in any sort of danger from the aliens...the same aliens that would fuck marines in the first level of the original AvP. Hello? It's a face raping aliens, if you blow it up with a shotgun when it's RIGHT ON TOP OF YOU, YOUR FACE WOULD MELT FROM ACID. The pacing is all sorts of bad, and it's going to be another Call of Duty: Colonial Marines formula. Aside from the tribute to the movie, I really can't get excited over this. The aliens had almost 5 seconds of rape time on the players and all they did is fumble about after popping from their hiding hole...enough time for the player to use his D-Pad to .....slowlllllly move his X axis ..........riiiiiiiiiight on top of the alien face......and.....bam. YAY! Nice shot.....man? |

I'm not just being 'Ironwood'. That was truly, truly bad. Dear God, don't release this game. |
