Yep, totally agree with your last sentence Svend! This is a huge missed opportunity to bring back Syndicate.

This is going to be Ghostbusters 2. Remember how bad that was?

I get why they're doing it. Starbreeze is an FPS developer, so it only really knows how to make FPS games. But then, why did EA then approach it for Syndicate? Why did Starbreeze not just create a new IP? Yeah, it's a competent studio, but that won't count for crap if it does a bad job of honouring the original. That's a bigger risk than the studio attempting to branch out of its comfort zone.

It's all bizniz, isn't it? What makes the world go round. Sigh.

Could be a decent game, but it won't be 'Syndicate'.
The original Syndicate could work well on the DS...

Wouldn't it been better to get gamers views before working on it?
