There are stunt maps, but it's mostly racing hey. Figuring out how tracks work etc, quite fun!

NOOOO! That just isnt right. I'm growing a bit tired of FPS games =\ A decent tactical game that requires some micromanagement should be the order of the day. Seems like those are now a dead breed. Oh well, might as well give this a skip since this will be a Deus Ex clone by the looks. Or I can give Deus Ex a skip and rather wait for this ( fat chance I'm not missing out that easily)

Hoozah! Quite appropriate. Think that is one of the few times a Star Wars moment has entered into forum discussion. Though unlike poor Luke I'm not discovering that the dude trying to lop my head off is my father XD. But ya still epically bummed about this move from EA.

So it's Syndicate but without anything that made Syndicate what it was. Take arguable the best tactical squad based game ever made and turn it into a dime a dozen arcade shooter. Obviously I could be proven wrong and it might be good but it won't be Syndicate. Games like Frozen Synapse have really shown me that tatical squad based games are STILL awesome to play, so a AAA title with an awesome story and setting would have been something I'd totally want to play.
Well said. Pretty much sums up my immediate thought on seeing those 3 magical letters.

Won't be getting this one!
And even if they do, it will be another (copy-paste) FPS... No thanks!

Maybe the fact that everyone is so hyped up about BF3 has got their brains in FPS overdrive mode. Or they are to lazy to adapt the frostbite engine to be able to move into other genres as well
Forstbite is completely capable of 3rd person perspective as well as full-blown RPG.
There is actually a game in the near future, RPG 3rd person and all that, running on Frostbite.
The core of it is that 1st person shooters are easier and cheaper to make.

they can make it amazing. FPS would be lame though, It would work best as a Mass Effect style game with an option to view over the shoulder or Isometric.

You obviously have not played syndicate 1 and it's offshoots. It's not a FPS it's a squad game, nor it is not DEUS EX

I did play it actually. I remember it like yesterday. And I know it's not Deus Ex, I'm just saying, if they can put the same quality work into this as DXHR if they're going to make an RPG FPS then ja...that's all. Moet my net nie bliksem nie!

I'd have to agree with Prophet. Syndicate series was one of the many PC games that I enjoyed as a child. The reason I state that it's going to suck as an FPS is because it's going to end up an FPS clone and it will turn out like C&C Renegade, a stale FPS that was built on a great RTS game.
Now they tell us deal with it... Well I'm sorry to say developers are just getting lazy if they aren't going to make an RTS game =\. But ya, by the looks of things I'm probably gonna give this a miss. I just have this feeling that they are going to stuff it up.
And wheunis, as I said, they are just becoming lazy.
