Hack With Friends in Syndicate's Co-Op Mode

Seems like this could be pretty decent. Jeff seems to be giving it some praise anyway. I will keep an eye on this one I suppose.

I hope so, liked the look of the single player stuff more than this multiplayer though.

Even in the cyber punk future you still have to shoot lots of dudes in the face.

Poor poor Syndicate.

Shooting extremely generic guns in an incredibly generic FPS coop.

That minigun guy took way too many bullets to take down.

Cautiously excited about this. Looks pretty cool, I'm hoping it turns out better than the last game I was cautiously excited about (Brink :( ).

I just realised, im totally burnt out on fps.

I know there have been rumblings about if this game was 'a thing' since back in like 2008 but I'm amazed at how 'done' it looks.

Also, considering EA only officially announced it in Sept it seems pretty damn speedy for it be released in Feb. I'm in for sure.

That HUD man.

That HUD.

ooh they kept the original music

Regenarating health: Check

In game hud: Check

Main gun with fast draw side arm: Check

Generic enemies with Tank enemies: Check

Revive downed team mates: Check

Same sound effects for every machine gun: Check

Focus on head shots: Check

Another first person shooter I was excited for, but as I saw more I realized it's every other first person shooter: Check

While that looked kinda generic, I think the whole "get points for doing stuff, and having it pop up on your screen" style of game design fits perfectly into the Syndicate world. I'm interested to see where they take the franchise.

Just think back to when you where playing Syndicate on your PC and someone tells you.

"In 2012 they will make a first person shooter game with the Syndicate franchise and they will make it primarily for consoles..."

Would you have believe them?

So so - the single player stuff they showed off flowed a lot better and wasn't just emptying clips into baddies.

I agree, this video doesn't apear to do the game justice. There's no demonstration of the stuff that supposedly makes this FPS stand out from the crowd. If this was the only footage of the game I had seen, I would write it off as a generic shooter. That said, I understand that game companies these days like to highlight different things in different videos etc.

Yes exactly. What I forgot to mention was that it looked like less experienced or creative people were demo-ing this. There was no sliding, hacking of people and or turrets. From what I understand theres a fair bit of parkour style movement in this game in addition to environment interaction via "hacking" - which I barely saw any of in this video.

Getting strong Mirror's Edge vibes from the sliding. Doesnt help that the featured level looks like it could have been pulled straight from the game. Looking forward to this

Needs more wobble bass

Alright the smg fps shooting is a bummer but they at least hint at heavy weapons in this video.

Reminds me of Brink for some reason.

I gotta hand it to em, you can't do that in Deus Ex HR.

That god damn M-COM station siren

There's a lot of HUD shit on that screen. Hope that gets cleaned up before release.

What's with some modern shooters and the whole HUD bobbing business. It doesn't make your game engaging or "cinematic", it's just flat out distracting. It was especially annoying in Crysis 2 but it gave you the option to tone it down so I'll cut it some slack.

I do dig the art style though.

Man that is some first-person-ass first-person shooting.

wub wub wub

This might be one of the rare times where I pick up the game day 1. I've liked what I've seen so far.

@Jayzilla: I would rather comment after I watch the video so I can say some thing that has relevance to the video. :P

Make a multiplayer Uplink, and then you have my interest in cooperative video game hacking locked down.

IDK what to think of this game yet. jeff seems to think it has promise. here's to hoping.

EDIT: come on rb_man you can do better than that to get your first. I got mine the valid way son!

nice punch to those gun effects

":l[

EDIT: cool I always love 4 player co-op and I thinl there should be more of it
