To quote pspupdates.net:
It's only a rumor for now, but the word on the virtual street is that Electronic Arts is readying a new Syndicate game. This could be the secret "Project RedLime" game that Starbreeze Studios signed on with EA for, which according to the Starbreeze forum is "in productionLink:

Personally I`d friggin love it if a new Syndicate game was in the works ASLONG as it follows the isometric view of the previous games + the strategy and research elements.
Discuss :).

It will become innovated by becoming a FPS.
I love my FPS as much as the next guy, but syndicate(and wars. I personally loved the difficulty) has a special place in my heart as far as strategy goes. Messing with it is like furries rule 34ing me.

If they do what Microsoft did with Shadowrun I`m going to be PISSED OFF :mad:.

I do believe I called this back in the speculation thread. And if not I plan on taking some sort of credit for it any :P. That is unless its a steaming pile of ghey in which case I'll just join the FUCK EA guys again.
I wouldn't mind if it was a tactical FPS. (I was even fantasizing about making some sort of mod for it, I'd only need to buy the Leet Modder skillbook and train it for a few years)

Starbreeze? The guys who specialise in FPSes these days? Interesting choice, but the last RTS they made was their first game, and I don't think anyone remembers The Outforce. Maybe they're making a PSP FPS or something?
I remember saying that EA could do an awesome Syndicate, a long time ago. I was joking then, but it IS richly ironic. Remember the intro to the old Syndicate, folks? It's kind of symbolic for what EA's capable of doing to this franchise, and what it's done with others. (i.e., Wing Commander)

Also on ps3, which means 360 and PC also.

Oh boy, I just can't wait for EA to fuck up yet another franchise.

Runs around room excitedly...:eek:
Done properly, this would be a trip down memory lane. The original was one of the first games I played (go go COOPER TEAM), along with the original Prince of Persia, and pretty much got me into the PC gaming scene...
The sound of 4 mini-guns firing on full auto, people running around screaming after being set alight by the flamer, and the techno-ish score were fantastic. The graphics were also pretty decent for a fixed perspective isometric game in 1992.
Please DO NOT Greg Norman this remake...

I wil choose to give EA the benefit of the doubt and be cautiously optimistic that they won't fuck this up.
Why do I do this to myself? :(
