Um...it's made by Starbreeze? I thought you people loved Starbreeze.
Never heard of the company. I thought it was headed by EA.[QUOTE="tjoeb123"][QUOTE="jdc6305"]Which we have WAAYYYY too many of. It's just as bad as sequels.

I wouldn't say we have way too many FPS games in comparison to any other genre.
There's a ton of games out there from any genre. Anyone who doesn't see it isn't looking hard enough.
I know commercials are flashy, and all, and FPS games get some pretty flashy ones, but just because a game isn't advertised doesn't mean it isn't there.
You could literally find dozens upon dozens of games in just about every other genre from this generation alone.

Never heard of the company. I thought it was headed by EA.The created the first Darkness and Chronicles of Riddick and Dark Athena. Oh and some game called Enclave. I don't know.
Point is that they make some damn good FPS games so don't flick them off so easily.
There are some gameplay walkthroughs on Youtube already and the game looks similar to what its initial impression given by gameplay trailer was, i.e. SOLID. And the characters' faces are awesome. The game overall, from these videos, seems a lot more polished than the demo and you can feel the weight of your character better. What's more, the graphics are varied, it's not all gray-ish. I have my faith back on, though I'm guessing it's gonna be AA.
There are 2 reviews already, one of them by Eurogamer Italy:
http://www.eurogamer.it/articles/2012-02-20-videogiochi-syndicate-review-recensione
They gave it 8/10.
The second one is not from a reliable source and it didn't look like a proper review, but they gave it 8/10 nonetheless, it was Blastreviews:

That was posted yesterday:
So we should expect GiantBomb review today...Originally Posted by jeffgerstmann: Anyway, I'm working on getting a Syndicate review done. Probably won't have it until tomorrow, but the short version is that I like it lots.
BTW, single-player and co-op are TOTALLY separate modes.
is there even a review up yet, anybody got any links to some?lamprey263Here, but it's in Italian: http://www.eurogamer.it/articles/2012-02-20-videogiochi-syndicate-review-recensione Eurogamer Italy gave it 8/10. Giant Bomb review's gonna be up later today.
Another review in, it's from a Dutch source, Gamersnet. They gave it 8.5/10. I'll post the pros and cons according to them.
http://www.gamersnet.nl/reviews/syndicate
What's HOT:
+Very solid audio-visual aspect
+Singleplayer is action-packed and brutal
+Co-op offers a lot of content
+Smooth learning curve
What's NOT:
-Communication in co-op can be tough
-PC version has minor bugs
The North American reviews should be up soon. EA has instituted one of its typical embargos. The thing ends midnight PST, which is about another hour from down. Jim Sterling's review will drop at Dtoid on 12:01. I suspect most other sites will release theirs at that time as well. Jeff Gustermann said that he really liked the game and his review will be up sometime tomorrow.
Seems like the game is getting some positive buzz.
It actually looks pretty fun. Admittedly I was sceptical at first, as it just looked like an FPS, but the co-op was rather fun. I hope that in the final game the co-op missions have more room for different approaches (e.g stealth) and stuff but it was suprisinglt fun and the interface is beatiful, and hopefully in the final game will add alot of tactical options. Apparently the co-op is as big if not bigger than than the single player which sounds pretty good to me! Glad it's not just getting competitive MP for the sake of it.

Supposedly it's about 7 hours? Anyway here are more reviews, Electronic Gaming Monthly gives it 7.5/10: http://www.egmnow.com/articles/reviews/egm-review-syndicate/ Newbreview.com gives it 4/5: http://newbreview.com/2012/02/21/review-syndicate-2012/[QUOTE="Nega3"][QUOTE="OB-47"]

Well atleast they'll be co-op which should make it roughly 14 hours, and of course replability.
EA is going to RUIN Starbreeze for good, just like Activision did the same to Bizarre Creations. :evil: It's yesterday's news:
We are sad to report that Syndicate developer, Starbreeze will be dismissing 25 employees following the completion of Syndicate, reports GamesIndustryBiz. "It is sad that we are forced to make staff cutbacks affecting employees. But we have to reduce staff after the final delivery of the Syndicate," offered Mikael Nermark, CEO of Starbreeze. Starbreeze has been developing the Bullfrog Productions reboot - Syndicate – and a second game based on Robert Ludlum's Jason Bourne series, which was canned earlier.zombiegamer
i'm excited for it, my friends and i downloaded the demo and liked it. plus i'm a sucker for cyberpunk.
It's also important to note that i didn't know about the originals before, so this game is basically a new game all together.
first new game of 2012 for me.
i was lucky, just got the game although it releases here on 24th, too bad i have to wait after work to try it :D
After they changed the original gameplay to another FPS this game dropped immediately from my Want List. Way to go EA, you killed Bullfrog and now you killed Syndicate just like Command Conquer with Tiberium Dawn. Miroku32
