Gran gioco Syndicate, forse uno dei primi con ambientazione cyberpunk (il mio primo di sicuro). Ve lo ricordate, no? Erano i tempi in cui Bullfrog calciava culi sforndando titoloni su titoloni.
Comunque, buttate tutto nella spazzatura perché come per XCOM, il ritorno di questo storico marchio avverrà sotto forma di FPS. Evviva!
(ma anche no).
L'unica nota positiva è che lo stanno sviluppando gli Starbreeze, che ci sanno fare col genere (Riddick, The Darkness).
Ecco le prime informazioni trapelate:
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.
