I seem to recally that Syndicate Wars biggest problem was that it's hardware requirements were too far ahead of the computers of the day.

Yeah, Syndicate Wars was great... I don't remember ever having hardware problems, and I ran the game with best graphics...


I certainly hope they wont make this a FPS game... I hope they know that it would be a huge mistake on their side...

*carnage everywhere*

The successful Syndicate squad look at each other in triumph - they have won. Suddenly, all but one drop dead, and the enemy is resurrected. W00t!!

Now you must fight, one man against the entire hegemony of evil.

I would like to see a new Syndicate game. The old version has potential to be a great game, but as with anything the new design may very well suck.

I believe it's often not up to the developers...

I remember Maxis was very mad when they were told they should make simCity 3000 in 3D... I'm not sure, but I believe it was EA who told them to... after they created an early beta of the game, they managed to persuade EA to be allowed to do it 'their way'...

Right. I should have phrased that differently... By "devs" I rather meant the people that design the game and approve the design. In this case you mention, and probably a few others, that would be the publisher, and they don't want 2D games, bcause they are seen as uncool...

We can have a crusade against that too. In fact!!

I'll try my best:


You've got a few cyborgs, who you're able to upgrade or buy weapons for (Which you have to research...). Each mission is more or less about: Killing of the enemy cyborgs, while don't get killed... the enemy always has tons of 'em, while you've only got 4... Ok, there is a little more variety in the missions... sometimes you need to persuade a certain person, and bring him back, or maybe you should place a bomb a certain place...


...and placing a C4 next to some giant building can be interesting...

Slightly similar to commando's then or is it less tactical and more Shoot-m-up?

ADG didn't mention the setting, which I think was this game's charm.

Sure several games have had futuristic settings with big giant corportations. But I felt this game did it the best.

The game looked cool. And killing was cool as well. I seem to remember a very good death animation when you burn someone alive.

Not shoot-em-up at all really.........more squad based strategy action, with oodles of style.
