Erethian said:Making a FPS out the Syndicate franchise isn't such a bad thing assuming you went about it right.
You'd have to have some RPG mechanics to be able to augment the abilities of your character between missions. And choose a loadout. Then you could drop the player in a large sandbox-ish area a ways away from their mission target, such as a base they need to infiltrate to assassinate someone, or steal some plans, or whatever. And the player would make their way through the city and choose how they want to approach the mission, or just dick around and kill people to attract the attention of the cops.
But I get the feeling this game won't work like that. Guess we'll see.
Mama Robotnik said:Agents were members of the public, identified as being biologically compatible with augmentation, who were then abducted, mutilated, lobotomised and redesigned to be "agents", completely programmable human beings. They would go into an area, commit programmed acts of murder, sabotage and corporate terrorism, and leave for a new mision. They were the aggressors, and they'd kill people. It was some dark shit.
As well as shooting, you'll be able to hack into enemies using something called a Dart 6 chip. From here, you can control their actions, forcing them to turn their weapon on their team-mates or even themselves.
In terms of how it looks and feels - think Crysis 2 style gun-play, but set inside Mass Effect's clean, curvy sci-fi world.
The team is treating the Syndicate name with a huge helping of respect. A number of ex-Bullfrog employees are on board, in senior roles, making sure this remake feels like a proper Syndicate game.
SBZ is Grin, MG is SBZ and yes, Högdahl is back as a contractor @ SBZ.DerZuhälter said:What about MachineGames?

This is still their old tech.JJD said:Isn't this game running on UE3?

More Fun To Compute said:Is Sean Cooper involved? If so this is positive. If it's Demis Hassabis then it's some sort of strange but compelling development but if it's Peter Molyneux then do not want. If it's the Bullfrog tea lady then who cares.

They intend to use UE3 for every project after this game, since their main engine programmer is now only a contractor and they lost a few other tech people as well.JJD said:Really? It's looking really good IMO! I saw that 1up article and thought they had dumped their proprietary engine since they got an UE3 license! Looking at those pics I'm gad they didn't! Hope consoles can keep up!

Presumably the next game won't be out until the next generation of consoles, so switching engines at that point kind of makes sense if theirs wasn't built to scale up.

Hear, hear.DaBuddaDa said:Fuck yes, cyberpunk is officially back.
Yeah. They probably have had this cooking for a good while, but the timing against Deus Ex's release and ensuing goodwill seems rather fortunate.Shiloa said:Looks like EA's answer to Deus Ex: HR.
