So, OXM is stating they have a world exclusive next month:



There are rumours that it's Syndicate as the blueprint seen on the cover is pretty much the same as the Syndicate cover, only in blue instead of green:



Now for the bad news. It's being developed by Starbreeze who raped the Shadowrun franchise, turning it from a much loved RPG into an arena deathmatch game.

How was Syndicate Wars a let down? Loved that game to bits.

If anything it was a bit ahead of its time.

The resolution and combination of 3D buildings and sprites for characters was a little off, but overall it was a great game.

If they stuck to the format but massively improved the graphics I think they'd be onto a winner.

I concur!

LOVED Syndicate Wars!


Robbing the banks was soo much fun hehe

As was killing the 'Zealot' scum biggrin



Also...OT, but;


Anyone remember 'G-Police' on the PS?

Isn't that game crying out for a modern reincarnation aswell?! How good would that story/ concept be with todays graphics, etc!

ETA: ah no im just retarded and didnt read the centre of the cover saying "One of the best games ever being remade"

Could be something to do with the new Introversion game Subversion, has a similar graphic style to that blueprint.

Looks interesting, although i would love a syndicate remake as well.
