and here is a copy-pasted description of the trailer from http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2011/09/29/the-syndicate-announcement-trailer/

- No waving policeman?
- HUD elements at 0:34 look interesting.
- Gosh, they meant that “breaching” enemies thing, at 0:40.
- 0:50: wubwubstep!
- 1:03: a boot stamping on a human face. Forever?
- I like the casually shooting people at 1:16.
- Some men certainly get shot.
- No sign of co-op yet?
- Logo is a bit weak. Looks like Any Old Action Movie font.


So what do you think? I never played the old Syndicate but I think that this game looks pretty good. I hope they include the music in the game :P

I'm serious about the music part, if they get Skrillex to do the rest of the soundtrack then I will buy the game on launch without even looking at the price

Joy, a classic Squad based strategy game torn apart by EA and turned into yet another FPS..........as if we needed another one.

edit: Don't get me wrong, it looks like it may be good (Then again, a lot of games that looked good came out medicore), but it looks like they're just using the name to sell a rival to Deus Ex.

That looks freakishly a lot like Deus Ex HR. Locations, symbols, weapons, what I can get out of the plot. Even scenes are the same by the looks of it.

I see it walking the $2.00 path.

Looks like fun. Although I didn't like them trying to promote the Skrillex song used in the trailer.

I freaking hate it though when people get mad about dumb [censored] like the fact that the original was a squad based isometric game, or the fact that it looks like the new Deus Ex. If you don't like the look of it, don't play it.

What a mess. So much more could've been done than a generic scifi FPS. The way of the future. :shakehead:
