Paradox announces Cartel, Syndicates spiritual sequel (PC only)

From RPS:

"Paradox are developing a game called Cartel. The timing is interesting, because this is a game of two familiar halves: one real-time squad-based RTS action, the other on a global research and diplomacy map. And it is set in a near-future world of global mega-corporations, or "cartels", battling for ultimate supremacy. Sound familiar? It should do. This is the antidote to EA's new Syndicate being an FPS, and Paradox aren't too shy about it."

This sounds interesting. When I found out that Syndicate would be a FPS I was so disappointed. Let's hope this advances and ends up being good, I was trying to find another good game that mixed strategy and tactical shooter like Syndicate and couldn't find it.

Sounds awesome. I really wish they would have decided to answer the call when X-com was turned into a FPS. All they would basically have to do is give us a new story and make it look nice and copy/paste the gameplay just the way it is. But I'm totally cool with this. Paradox is a bunch of groovy dudes.

Excited to see this. Probably wont even bother with the FPS now.

Sounds like every 3rd party game on the wii.

This is very good news, i was so disapointed to hear the new Syndicate was going to be another FPS. Probably a day 1 buy for me.

I only want Europa Universalis IV!!
