I didnt even look up anything about the damn game. Just going with the flow of the thread. Call of Duty 4 lyfe.Radogol said:Apparently, YT videos don't show game mechanics as well as you seem to imply they do, since Syndicate is 100% real time. No idea where you got the turn-based idea from.
A cyperpunk GTA style game actually sounds great to me.Manager said:

I'm more worried about the fact that Starbreeze isn't Starbreeze anymore. I didn't know about that until reading this thread so it's kinda disheartening.
Also Richard K Morgan writing the plot isn't necessarily a good thing. He wrote the plot to Crysis 2 and it was borderline incoherent. Being a good novel writer does not necessarily translate to a good game writer.

omnomis said:God this article is so many pages, but I must read it all considering my status in this thread of "OH IT'LL BE GREAT, IT'S STARBREEZE YO". I have a feeling it will get more and more depressing with each paragraph.

Have I said this game is trash? Yes, I think I did.
BTW, this is Syndicate:

Do you see the visceral FPS experience? No? THAT'S BECAUSE IT'S NOT A FUCKING FPS!
If they don't respect what Syndicate is, I don't respect their game.
What would be the difference?charsace said:I think its sad that a game that has guns will most likely end up being first person. Couldn't they have at least made this a third person game?
All you hope is that they dont do to Syndicate what they did to Shadowrun.

subversus said:I hope all his original plot for Crysis 2 was rewritten by somebody else, it happens on big projects. I just finished "13/Black Man" and still can't get my head around the fact that this guy had something to do with one of the worst written games ever.
Dude, yes. Been my dream game since forever.Neuromancer said:A cyperpunk GTA style game actually sounds great to me.
Definitely a fair point. I sure as hell couldn't do it. Writing something interesting and at the same time accounting for gameplay and whatnot seems tough.Lakitu said:To be fair, writing a game is far different to writing a book. And considering Crysis 2 is his first time, maybe he's trying to get the hang of it? At least, I hope so.
Meh. I could see Rockstar making a Blade Runner game especially with the new one being directed by Ridley Scott.Lakitu said:Prey 2 will be as close to an open-world Cyberpunk game we're going to get this generation.
Yeah, I'm pretty hyped for that.Lakitu said:Prey 2 will be as close to an open-world Cyberpunk game we're going to get this generation.
omnomis said:This is also EA, Command & Conquer used to sell not completely out of the stratosphere of their FPS games, but didn't the most recent ones completely bottom out? Not that EA would realize it was because the games were lackluster and not because every gamer in 2011 will only play FPS. They probably think that because they aren't Blizzard, no version of Syndicate they could make as a strategy game would sell over 750,000 units.

Fuck yeah, new Syndicate!!Syndicate is the re-imagination of a cult classic franchise from 1993
Oh, never mind.a unique action shooter .
To be fair to them though, it's pretty similar to the art for the first games.jett said:1080p pics look nice, although it's kinda funny that video game designers are seemingly incapable of not ripping off Blade Runner when imagining the future.

Yep. I agree with this. I'm excited for the game thanks to Starbreeze's involvement, but I think Crusader would have been a safer bet as it really WAS an action game.antispin said:If they wanted to go balls-to-the-wall fps, they should have picked Crusader instead.

B..But the market couldn't possibly support that! Are they mad?crimsonheadGCN said:For those who are disappointed in the switch to FPS, you might want to keep an eye out on Paradox Interactive.

While the Riddick games and The Darkness were in first person, only about 5% of the game uses guns if you decide to play that way.charsace said:I think its sad that a game that has guns will most likely end up being first person. Couldn't they have at least made this a third person game?
Now that makes the most sense.antispin said:If they wanted to go balls-to-the-wall fps, they should have picked Crusader instead.
charsace said:Now that makes the most sense.
Crusader: No God or something like that.
Crusader:No man, we got guns.SimonM7 said:How about Crusader: No walls without balls?
Sorry. The market can only support one camera angle from now on. The thread has spoken.ColonialRaptor said:Seriously? They had to make it an FPS.... come on... something different? I mean... please?
so you read nothing in this thread. basically.ColonialRaptor said:Seriously? They had to make it an FPS.... come on... something different? I mean... please?
Isometric would have been perfect! DAMMIT.
Some Gundam nut calling people old if they don't like FPS games doesn't really settle matters.bangai-o said:so you read nothing in this thread. basically.
DerZuhälter said:Don't get me wrong: I hate the flood of FPS as much as the next guy, but this here makes design choice wise, more sense to me than turning Fallout 3 into a freaking FPS.
