Starbreeze defends Syndicate FPS; they are moving on

No, Starbreeze.
You have been assimilated into "The EA" - where FPS is the cheapest and most easily copy-pastable game genre available for them to pad wallet with.

Piss on my face all you want, but don't try to convince me it's raining...
 
I actually think it's a cool idea. Look at this?


While it might have been pretty cool back then, it's definitely not so cool or fun anymore. They can make it FPS, they should just do it well. A good example of a "RPG" FPS is DXHR. One of the best games I have played to date. If they can put the same amount of effort into this game, it might just turn out to be great.

Don't judge it before you haven't played it.

lazy bitches. why not just name it deus ex 1.5 or 0.5 or the prequel.
 
Sure, Starbreeze, just accept that Syndicate fans are also moving on and won't support this then.

or rather play something decent from the indie sector. this is exactly one of the reasons we are seeing the real return of small dev houses.
 
Lol I think they might regret their decision after this move... I mean he'll, why jot remake every other RTS game into anFPS whilst you're at it and then see how many you peeve off then XD. I mean if they follow through this is just going to be a Deus Ex clone. I mean he'll if we put the screenshots next to one another and take the basic info and compare it it looks like Deus Ex through in through >.<

You can do that magic tricks with all the CODs too :P People still buy it..
 
Hence why I stopped supporting COD after MW1. After that it's just been clones to me. Kinda like ripping the head off of the gaming industry and s***ting down it's throat. I've got nothing against FPS games it's just becoming immensely stale when they want to remake tactical strat games that people enjoyed to play and turn them into clones. I mean hell, it's now the damn war of the clones. I mean really, if Blizzard decided to turn Diablo III into an FPS in the last minute how do you think most people would feel about that?

I was actually discussing this with someone yesterday. Game development has become too impersonal. Back in the day, a dev house for a AAA game consisted of 15 dedicated programmers, passionate about what they're doing, and working until 5am just to get that last bit of programming done.

Nowadays, a dev house consists of 400 people, randomly picked for their qualifications, where nobody really knows each other, and they're all just working an 8-5 job. It's no longer done for the passion of developing games, it's done because it's a job.

Maybe they should make a game about all the clones fighting each other. Then you fight against all the characters from all the games made. Now that would be boring as shit and make a clone to end all clones! HAHAHA!

I'd have to agree. There is a severe lack of passion. The big development houses are all about the money. If they see some concept is successful, the copy pasta magic begins and they shove it down your throat thinking that you're loving it whilst you're choking to death and flailing about like a schizo on acid .-.
 
If they pull it off it'll be epic, Im just really glad to see that name again..Syndicate is one of my all time fav games...right up there with Ultima 8. Even though this won't be anything like the fond memories in my slightly insane head..Im still super amped!!
