I can't get angry about this as I've never played Syndicate. I'll be neutral about it and see if the game is fun or not regardless of name. I like Cyberpunk.

FPS? - fucking pathetic

The game can be good or bad, like people said we can't judge yet.

But it's sure as shit isn't going to be a Syndicate game.

QFT

@sthusby: Agreed. I think because it's 'FPS' people's perception is warped by the 'S'. Portal 2 is an FPS, but it's a completely different experience from say MW2. Right now there's really not enough data to go on to determine much about the workings of the game at this stage.

As for the people wondering why it's not going to be Isometric. The answer lies in the fact that they game wasn't that complex in the first place (it's no C&C or Starcraft). Sure it would be entirely possible to make an updated isometric version, but even it was 100% faithful to the original, it wouldn't be a title that set the world alight at launch in terms of sales or awards.

I always liked the between mission stuff in Syndicate more than the missions themselves. Controlling your whole squad was always a pain. FPS works just fine for me. I think this has promise, but it's still too early obviously.

why not make it a DOTA rip off? instead of another FPS?? I'm not sure what a DOTA is but I hear it a lot these days

I have no idea what Syndicate is but I'm excited since this is a first person shooter from Starbreeze.

Played the first games all those years ago, loved them and still love the games. So this is going to be in first person. I think Starbreeze took a few pages out from Bethesda with Fallout 3. A risque maneuver by them, however I hope they prove people wrong and a good game can be done.

I liked the original style of the game. Shame they are not going to stick to Bullfrog's isometric strategy game. However I remain resolute that it will be a good game, if not, I shall be bloomin' annoyed if it is not.

Starbreeze can do good and unique first person games, so there's easily the potential for this to be at least pretty cool if not amazing. Plus we need more cyberpunk up in here.
