EA Press Release said:EA and Starbreeze Studios Announce the Revival of the Cult Classic Franchise Syndicate
Nostalgia~4ever said:starbreeze was founded in 1998 with 8 employees @ 2000. You're surprised same people dont work there anymore?
Htown said:Oh look. A dormant non-shooter franchise turned into a first person shooter. I am shocked.
I don't get the point of reviving these old IPs if you're just going to tick off the people who actually played them by changing it into a shooter. To people that don't know about the previous game, it's just another shooter. To people that did play the original game, you're changing the stuff that they actually liked about the game.
I don't see the point. With this or XCom or any other old franchise getting this treatment.
Eurocorp was in original game (or at least Syndicate Wars).DennisK4 said:Eurocorp?

BigJiantRobut said:Everyone is bitchin', and I am sad to see that we're not getting a new tactics game - but it's fuckin' STARBREEZE, the game will at least be ambitious.
ZombieSupaStar said:so people being blindly hopeful it'll be good because "its starbreeze" are ill-advised? ok.

Nostalgia~4ever said:that goes for basically every studio. Lots of people left Retro Studios, but Donkey Kong Country returns still turned out good.
Neuromancer said:Hmm not sure we need a time slowing down mechanic but if that's just one of many I guess it won't be so bad.
Do you really think EA hasn't done their homework? And that they dont think that creating a brand new IP is more financially risky than using an established name and franchise?Htown said:Oh look. A dormant non-shooter franchise turned into a first person shooter. I am shocked.

I understand people's feelings getting hurt because this isn't the game they wanted but EA isn't stupid; trust me they've done marketing research on this one.
I imagine a large number of gamers are familiar with the name Syndicate even if they haven't played any of the old games, and that's half the battle right there.
