Syndicate Gameplay Trailer Turns Up the Heat

Those were my initial thoughts too. Also, it doesn't look like it will be at all squad based, everything looked a lot brighter ane cleaner than the original, I think Syndicate may have lost it's identity a little.
EA always have this way of hyping me up early with cool trailers then making me wait months upon months until release (see mass effect 3, the old republic). For a shooter, this really stands out, but hell they could put syndicate on a side scroll text adventure and I would probs still buy it. One of my favorite old franchises. Wish I could say the same for x com.
Well I thought at least it's got the original music... and then they screwed with that too. This may yet prove a hit, but older gamers like myself are going to have a hard time getting over the fact this really isn't Syndicate.

Nice! Between the cool looking gameplay and the "rad" beats I am definitely interested in this game now!
Yeah, as much as I like to ***** that "it's not Syndicate", it's in good hands with Starbreeze. I thoroughly enjoyed The Darkness and Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay.Aiddon said:
I'm happy it is looking good but Sad that another Franchise has left the Strategy genre as you know its not going to come back again.
I like playing games with units and squads and tactics and having to make tough choices and Syndicate and XCOM were my favourite games on my old 486 just said that I wont get to play them with modern tech.
Thank god for frozen Synapse otherwise the strategic part of my brain would have shrivelled up by now

Ok, yeah, that looked pretty damn good. A bit too frenetic, but still good.
Never having played the original Syndicate games, I was never pissed off about the FPS reboot, but nor was I expecting anything noteworthy.
But this, this I can get interested in. Sure, it was rather drastically beaten to the punch by DE:HR but hey, "more DE:HR with a splash of Mirror's Edge" sounds pretty tasty to me.

Haha i certainly was. That song was fucking epic! And i hate dub-step.Ser Imp said:
Also, more people should hire Brian Cox for voice acting.
Skrillex is dubstep and D&B has nothing at all to do with Techno, I have no idea what you're getting at.TheDooD said:
Dubsetp evolved from breakbeat (or simply breaks) and I'm pretty sure must be related (now a days, anyways) to urban grime. In the early 2000's most people around here in the Toronto rave scene just called it "wobble". It was also widely thought of as sounding hilariously stupid; many DJ's would play it as a joke and then quickly cut to other music as if to say "haha, I'm not actually going to play wobble. Fooled you!"
Now it's the most popular form of electronica and I have to listen to "experts" on the internet talk about it all the damn time claiming that chase and status are amazing dubstep artists ignoring everything else they've made since 2003.
I wasn't. This looks good compared to the XCOM reboot, but I'm seeing a lot of spectacle and scripted events and not a lot of substance.Ser Imp said:
looks like deus ex HR with a mix of mirrors edge. looks really good though, i have to admit, but was still hoping you would be in a group of 4.
if you still can covert civilians to follow you, then this game can carry the name "syndicate" otherwise, it does not.
but well, lets wait and see. my interest for this game is there atm. i keep an eye on it before i make a final decision.

Seconded. Wonder how much of what's shown is on rails or quicktimed? At least they kind of almost kept the soundtrack.vrbtny said:
Wow, the FPS market is pretty oversaturated right now, isn't it?
I would have thought a Squad Based Realtime Action Strategy game would sell really well in this current market, but it seems the shareholders at major publishers want the 'sure' bet.
Get established 'classic' IP, create FPS because of mass marketability, take parts from successful titles around beginning of development, build hype by clever marketing, pay lip service to the fanbase of the original, release.
Ok, I feel dirty for liking that trailer. As long as you don't end up being a good guy, I'll buy it.
Heck, I'll take a million Deus ex: HR look-alikes over a CoD-MW clone anyday.
Good visual setting, and if they're going to clone DX:HR, then I can hope they clone the mechanics too.
Better a clone of a good game, then yet another mindless CoD zombie.
That being said, it looks really good. It feels like a very different game set in the same sort of world as DX:HR. Which, they kinda are... both are your cyberpunk futures. But I gotta say... I ain't gonna complain if more games start looking like that. I like it.
