Syndicate Reboot (first screenshots)

Woah.

At least we can play the old game. You don't need to play this shit.

Just forget it even exists.

I am still not following the train of thought on making this game.

I mean the people who played the original game, lets call them fans, lke me, or now in their late 20 or 30.

They won't like this game at all because it has basically nothing to do with syndicate.

So they make an FPS for the new kiddies playing on their consoles, who have never heard of syndcate.

Couldn't they just give it another name then?

So they make an FPS for the new kiddies playing on their consoles, who have never heard of syndcate.

They have, though, from 'Best games of all time' lists on sites like IGN and Gamespot. Same with Fallout and X-Com. They haven't played the old games, nor do they really care about them, but now they can buy their FPS and brag about how they're playing a game that is a part of a classic series.

What if they had actually made it just like the original? It's not like isometric realtime strategic/tactical/action games don't sell, and developing it would have been much cheaper and therefore more profitable. The old fans would have been onboard too.

But Modern Warfare is an FPS and it sold a billion million copies, so everyone has to make an FPS now, in case it'll somehow become just as popular (yeah, I'm sure everyone will drop MW3 so they can play Syndicate MP). Even a failure of an FPS is probably considered better than a successful RTS. It's better to fail at doing something trendy than succeed at doing something profitable.

Good:
-no TPP cover.
Bad:
-everything else.

It's a bit like a grittier version of Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex.

I have both Deus Ex games for that.

And yeah stuff like "you're in my way" ruins the whole sense of clinical, disinterested sociopathy in favour of HAI GUIZ LOOK AT ME IMMA BADASS MUTHA.

This.

And it's jarring to me even though I haven't played the original syndicate, so I can't imagine how can anyone who has not at it.

Have you noticed?
The popagonist looks kind of like Failex Derpton from that botched Deus Ex sequel with universal ammo.

That's quite indicative of the quality of the game.

I see game devs still have not learned that depth of field shouldn't be plastered on everything.

 

[Wirdschowerdn]

That's some pretty damn good character/face modeling. Wish Obsidishit, Bethshit and Bioshit could model such authentic faces.

 

[zeitgeist]

Phew, it's going to be a great game after all, it features 9 missions from the original.

 

[Gorawala]

Yep, and with a character with a name sounding like phallus. A must buy.

Are they even going to incorporate things such as the persuadatron? We could do with one in this day and age.
