Syndicate : Reboot

Syndicate is the re-imagination of a cult classic franchise from 1993 - a unique action shooter set in a not too distant future, where Business is War.

2069 – No longer governed by politicians, the developed world is divided up into regions controlled by megacorporations known as Syndicates. These Syndicates have revolutionized how the consumer interacts with the digital world. No longer does the consumer require a device to access the world¡¦s data and control their technology, they can do this at the blink of an eye via neural chip implant. Civilians flocked to be ¡§chip¡¦d¡¨ and enjoy all that their selected Syndicate has to offer; housing, medical, banking, insurance, education, entertainment and jobs. One complete package. One complete lifestyle. In return, the Syndicates gained unprecedented insights, and control, over the individual and their behaviour. With little governmental oversight, business has become war. The Syndicates will stop at nothing for ultimate market dominance. At the front line of this war are the Agents, the Syndicate's bio-engineered and chip-augmented enforcers. They can breach anything in the wired world including their enemies, their weapons and the environment that surrounds them, making them the most efficient and deadly technological weapons in the world.

Take on the role of Miles Kilo, Eurocorp's latest prototype agent, and embark on a brutal action adventure of corruption and revenge.

EA has released the first offical HD Screenshots of Syndicate and added one more. The Game comes out early 2012

Many fans are already complaining about the manipulation made ​​by Starbreeze Studios to "reboot" of the mythical Syndicate, released in 1993 on the Amiga, but the software company is keen to point out that the project had always been to make the game an FPS while still a "faithful homage ". The director Neil McEwan is well expressed in the pages of OXM:

 

"It's always been thought to be a FPS. The original idea was to change the point of view of the original game and zoom into the head of Agent, and play that role. A more close-up, becoming a one of those agents. We're big fans of the original Syndicate, and we are paying tribute as much as possible, reproducing the essence of the world, the essence of the basis of what it means to be an Agent. "

 

After years of rumors, the "reboot" the Syndicate, it was announced yesterday. Will arrive on PC, PS3 and X360 in 2012.

”We are excited to finally reveal what we’ve been working on the past couple years,” stated Mikael Nermark, CEO of Starbreeze Studios.

 

”It’s been a great experience working with EA, and an amazing opportunity for us to use our expertise in the first person shooter and action genres to bring back, and reignite, the signature action/espionage gameplay of Syndicate.”

 

The extensive feature places a firm, unambiguous spotlight on the Starbreeze-developed, futuristic title’s story-line, gameplay mechanics and characters, with a massive amount of information on offer for avid readers to ponderously mull over. We have compiled the details below for your viewing pleasure.

 

The project is the worst kept secret in gaming, with the highly talented Starbreeze at the helm of the re-imagined Syndicate –the respected team is behind titles such as The Darkness & The Chronicles of Riddick.

 

Syndicate is influenced by classics such as Blade Runner, Terminator, The Matrix and Inception.

 

The title paints a nightmarish scenario of a divided future dominated by corporations - spelling trouble for the internet-obsessed Facebook generation.

 

PSM3 viewed a short demo which featured Miles Kilos traversing an enormously majestic, floating city known as La Ballena, set high above Asia.

 

Visuals are beautifully sleek, sterile and bear an uncanny resemblance to the Mass Effect series, with the advanced city buzzing with activity – advertising is everywhere, droids hover about and holographic readouts display a wealth of information. The development team have likened Syndicate to popular first-person shooter Crysis 2.

 

The vast majority of Earth’s population have a consumer chip called Dart 6 implanted in their heads, with the chip managing their lives and granting access to incredible technology whilst continually gathering personal info and storing details – Syndicates feed the constantly evolving chips with data and upgrades, with the brutally competitive corporations constantly locked in a raging battle to gain control of the plugged in citizens of the world.

 

Miles Kilos is a skilled Eurocorp agent, a Terminator-type enforcer with an implanted military grade Dart 6 chip –his occupation will take him to far-flung, futuristic destinations such as Los Angeles, New York and the floating metropolis of La Ballena – Starbreeze has confirmed that several fan-favorite missions from the original Syndicate will be lovingly recreated and included in the rebooted version.

 

Syndicate features highly polished shooting mechanics, with the intelligent AI directing enemies as they naturally engage in clever cover and flanking tactics, providing a fiercely challenging level of difficulty for even seasoned veterans of the first-person shooter genre.

 

Breaching is a significant function in Syndicate, allowing players to hack into opposing enemies Dart 6 chips and gain an edge in the battle for supremacy – three breaching skills have been revealed so far, with Suicide, Backfire & Allegiance all activated by simply selecting an enemy and tapping L1. Holding L1 will complete the action, with the single tapping activating and stopping the skill. Sweet spots can be achieved by manually tapping instead of holding L1, akin to the golf swing found in Tiger Woods.

 

Suicide compels opposing enemies to pull their guns on themselves, with Backfire overloading weapons and causing an explosion which stuns enemies and gives players a time delay to take their foes out. Allegiance is the most powerful skill on offer, allowing players to influence the enemy into terminating his teammates before killing themselves. Incoming grenades can also be hacked and rendered inert, enabling players to lob them back and annihilate a group of foes.

 

IPA powers the dart implants, allowing players to use a variety of uniquely impressive skills such as slow-motion Dart Vision – IPA can be earned through the tactical and effective use of skills.

 

The New York of 2067 is an exaggeratedly poor version of the once iconic city, with the metropolis distinctly divided between the wealthy, upmarket Up Zone and the gritty, underprivileged Down Zone – situated below the Up Zone on the mean streets of old New York.

 

The citizens of the Down Zone are immune to hacking and are proficient at creating makeshift firearms and various tools of destruction, whilst the technologically advanced Up Zone citizens are fully susceptible to the broad range of hacking techniques.

 

Syndicate aims to mix a conscious social commentary with the exhilarating feeling of shooting an incredible array of high powered guns, with the world of 2067 described as conflicted, divided and dominated by consumerism.

Syndicate for the PS3, XBOX360 and PC will be released on February 12th, 2012.

 

Syndicate is also available for pre-order from Amazon for $59.99.
