Syndicate (2012 video game)
Quote:
With this reboot of series now as a FPS, there's been good buzz about it. Will this game be a hit with fans just like the original was? If your interested of playing the original Syndicate game, Good Old Game is selling at their site. Click here. |
I remember the original, was tough as all hell...especially that mission in the middle of the Atlantic! It was very fun though, you had tech research, a vast artillery and body upgrades at your disposal, and that's back in 1993. Kinda mixed feelings that they changed its style to a mainstream shooter game, but I have to admit it looks good.

As folks are likely aware, the co-op demo is in the wild. It's good fun, particularly with other players who at least know how to communicate, and gives you a good overview of how the mechanics work. Aside from the demo itself hard-freezing on occasion, there are a couple of annoyances within the game proper:

I loved the first game !
I remember playing it a lot at my best friend's place, and when my parents bought our first PC (christmas 94), the game was in the first set of games he gave me (well, more like he copied the game on the floppy disks I gave him) with the likes of Doom 1&2, Dune 1&2, Lands of Lore, Civilization (only the fist was out back then) and Sim City 2000. Syndicate Wars kinda sucked and was quickly forgotten. I don't see the point of making a shooter and call it Syndicate though. Unless the game gets rave review, I probably won't bother with it. (although the nostalgia effect kicked hard when they used the old tune at the end of the trailer) |
The demo was fun to me and thats saying something cuz i was playing with randoms which i usually hate.lol. It had a almost left for dead kind of fun co-op wise. We'll see in terms of the full game.

Looks like the game industry is finally revisiting the old genres instead of rehashing Call of Duty and HOMM.
Though remembering this game makes me feel.....old. :heh: |

Really like the multiple sights on one weapon and how brutal this game seems. Definitely going to be a cinematic campaign. Damn I'm excited. |
Though I am a little letdown that it became an FPS. Though I wish the co-op mode would become something like a huge MMORPG where people get to join various syndicates and battle in a gigantic city.

Ironic that Aspari is a "Chinese" corporation, and Eurocorp is breaching them. Shouldn't it be vice-versa? :heh:

Launch trailer is out.
Watching this trailer gives me interesting questions. Spoiler for WMG:
|
As someone whose 'childhood games' included Syndicate, I hope this goes the way of X-com... first announced as FPS, but then a game more faithful to the original is announced a bit after.
|
Interesting trailer; bonus points for the (unintentional?) RoboCop nods.

The game IS a letdown. They ported over the console version to PC and the mouse sensitivity is so hard to adjust - you can't even pot headshots properly.
What a waste of money. |
nice trailer, to bad that the mouse control is so bad... :(
