Syndicate reboot will be a 4-player co-op FPS, developed by Starbreeze.

It also seemed too colorful, which I know is a really stupid thing to bitch about in the FPS genre these days, but they could have at least tried to capture the art style of the original so it had SOME link.

I enjoyed the Syndicate games quite a bit, my friend and I would play it together quite a bit. That being said, I have no desire to play this at all, and sorta off topic but same vein, same with the new X-Com.

Damn, I used to go to my friends house just to play syndicate (and railroad tycoon). He had computers in his house and I didn't. Talk about abusive friendship haha

same with me, heh.

This why Syndicate has a special place in my heart.

This "reboot" is a tragedy.

All they did was buy the name, FFS.

Dear Game Designers:
They don't all have to be First Person Shooters. Thanks!

Alternatively:
Please stop remaking games. Thanks!

Well, it's nice to know that enemy AI has gone absolutely nowhere in the last decade.....some of the sections in that 11 min. gameplay video were almost laughable. Character walks into a room with 3 or 4 NPC's and none of them manage to hit him with a single bullet. Some of them just stand there with their weapons aimed and never even take a shot.

And this game has slow-motion mode? Really? Why would you even need it with AI this stupid? Add to that a bunch of over-powered weapons and it's even worse. You don't need to strafe or use cover.....just shoot bullets that turn and go around corners! Yay!!

I almost never criticize games before I've actually played them, but for some reason this game really annoys me. Everything from the lame AI to the incredibly annoying HUD with the floating ammo count right on top of your weapon, and the constant pop-ups occurring everywhere.

The art direction seems nice / interesting. I'll end it on the only positive note I can think of.

Walking in with massive firepower instead of strafing and taking cover would actually fit the mentality and aesthetics of the original game. Of course that does not excuse the slow as fuck enemies, or the game assuming the player is a retard, or the fact that the game is very obviously a long corridor run with zero opportunity for tactics or creativity, or the plot that suspiciously looks like rah-rah hero shit instead of a series of business transactions Syndicate style.
