Hmmm could be very good.... my only concern is that FPS is not what made Syndicate fun! it was the top down gameplay, I really hope they do a proper job. Thinking back to C&C [TITLE HERE] (Cant remember the name) that totally sucked!

This might sound retarded but I wish EA would get Lion Head Studios in on some of the coding here.
If you have to ask why Lion Head you probably dont know who Peter Molyneux is ..
Well he was the head honcho over at bull frog back in the day.
I have no doubt that if he had a hand in this , it would be true to the original and be really great fun.
Peter did his magic in the below games , and i wish EA would have paid for his input in this one..

Maybe they should change the title. Syndicate was an isometric real time tacticle game. Taking that into account it is difficult to picture this game as a FPS.

Why the name change? Arcania: Gothic 4 comes to mind.

The game visuals looks good though.
