This game looks ridiculously good.

We must have watched different videos because it looks bad. Taking a historic series and turning it into a horribly generic looking FPS with plenty of metal and bloom.

@Undulation In contrast to what, undepicherably blurry messes of brown? I'm a big fan of the original Syndicate, but I'll be the first to admit that the original is NOTHING SACRED.

If you're upset with this stuff, take a look at one of the earlier trailers. There's shots of them going down city streets, and it looks so much like the original. I'm okay with them taking liberties if they get the feel right.

And don't even get started on the "it's watered down because it's a shooter!" Outside of the research/management aspects, the gameplay in missions was pretty much just moving around and shooting.

I just hope this game isn't the next "Haze" am I right?

Dear developers, the field of view is too small. The guns are taking up half the screen and I'm sick of not being able to see anything that is not directly in front of me.This is an absolute basic element in first person shooters. I'm tired of so many games getting it wrong.

I was gonna say I couldn't think of any FPS that seriously blocked as much of the screen area as you're implying. Then I looked at the screenshots. Jesus, they're taking up nearly a quarter of the screen. Guess I have ONE example of that, then...

Crysis guns + Deus Ex HR buildings + Mass Effect rooms = Syndicate: Modern Whorefare. This game was not developed, it was managed by a marketing team.
