View Full Version : The Syndicate
This game looks friggen awesome! I'v been reading up on this one so I thought I'd share.
At long last, Electronic Arts confirmed what we all have known for quite some time: Starbreeze is working on a revival of the classic Syndicate franchise.
Back in early 2008, EA announced that it was working with Starbreeze to reinvent an "acclaimed classic franchise" of EA's for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC. It didn't give any indication as to what series it was, though later that year we heard rumors it was a new Syndicate game. In March 2010, one of Starbreeze's two projects with EA, a new game from the Robert Ludlum's Bourne franchise, had been canceled. A series of trademark filings over the course of the year reinforced that a Syndicate game was the other game it still had coming, and 1UP's extensive cover story on Starbreeze -- read it in its entirety here or in the second issue of 1UP Presents -- revealed a source had confirmed that Project RedLime was indeed a new Syndicate.

It definitely looks pretty wicked but I'm still going to wait for release and check the reviews just in case.

I had the orignal when it first came out on the 3DO platform, back in the 90's. It was the shit. From looking at it now, they completly went away from what it used to be and now it's a FPS. I think its going to fail, but I could be wrong. I'm going to wait for the review before I even think about picking it up.
Preordered ...... I'll let u know if it sucks ..... lol
Some co-op action...it looks good.

No but I will, thanks for the heads up River!
Downloading it now (620MB), once it's done I'm going to give it a go.
So I played a little bit of it... and this is what MW3 should've been. I'm getting this hands down, this my friends is one bad ass shooter and the co-op 4 man game play is insane!!! I will say, stick with the default controls setting because if you switch... you will feel disorientated. But other than that... this game is fluid and plays like a dream. The guns are very detailed along with the environments, another plus is the enemy AI actually works!!! By that, I mean it doesn't run into walls or stand out in the open waiting for you to shoot it lol. You'll also note when playing, that no weapon has goofy balancing issues. They're all smooth from PDW to Sniper rifle and everything else in-between. If the co-op is any indication, of what the multi-player will be like... then This is title is easily a triple A.

Getting my pre-order today.
Electronic Arts has stirred up much fervor with its online pass proposition, but Syndicate fans looking forward to the upcoming game won't have to worry about it. Syndicate is passing on an online pass.Speaking to Eurogamer, EA Partners executive producer Jeff Gamon said the publisher chose not to include an online pass with Syndicate, a single-player game with co-op missions, so as to reach the broadest appeal.
"We want as little resistance or barriers to entry as possible," Gamon told the website. "The co-op is equal billing in this. We wanted everyone who owns a copy of the game to have access to the entire product."

Until it hits fame and success....in which case they'll slap an online pass on the sequel so fast it'll make your head spin.

Getting my pre-order today.
I got your message last night. I'll probably pick this up. I imagine I'll be ready for a break from bf3 by then.
I played the demo the other night. I agree with pac. It's what MW3 should've been. Really enjoyed the co-op mission. Hopefully it's an indication of what the multiplayer will be. Definitely picking this title up. When exactly is the release date? Anyone know?

...does the game even have competitive multiplayer? Everywhere i've tried looking just now only mentioned 4-player co-op. I'm downloading the demo currently so hopefully i can check it out soon
Electronic Arts only announced the reboot of Syndicate from Starbreeze Studios in September of 2011, and two weeks before they launch Mass Effect 3, they’ve released the sci-fi first-person shooter with its own similar four-player, objective-based cooperative mode.

These days timing is everything – both in terms of finding the right release date and finding an audience looking for something fresh and new. Unfortunately, in strong opposition to those two ideals, is the piracy scene, which eliminates the revenue stream generated by an audience and sometimes breaks the carefully calculated release date. There are some developers who try to combat piracy by way of simple software-based means, and others who choose more interesting routes to voice their displeasure.

Looks like another b.a game
the games good but no1 bought it and no multiplayer
The problem is, that the release was to close to ME3. I have no clue, as to what they were thinking when they did that one... I mean it was kind of natural it would be over looked. when you have a major established title, going up against a new IP the established title will win everytime. But after reading some spoilers on the ME3 board I'm kinda giving ME3 the stink eye right now. I can't say what they did, because of our members who are playing the game and I don't want to ruin it for them. But once they find out, they'll be giving the game the stink eye too.
