Quantcast




As anyone interested in Starbreeze's Syndicate will know by now, a demo for the FPS was released on the PlayStation Network and Xbox LIVE yesterday. It allows players to try out a level called "Western Europe" with up to 3 friends (or random people online) as they bust into Cayman Global, steal some blueprints and kill Colonel Enrico Gabron.

Sounds simple enough, but if you've ever watched a Syndicate gameplay video then you've undoubtedly seen just how much stuff is going on with the HUD and other aspects that might leave you a little confused, like it has with me. If that's the case -- or if you just want to see what the demo has in store -- then this new Syndicate co-op "How To" video released by the developers will be so worth the watch.

Look at all those pretty effects.

Looks garbage. Cluttered hud. Gun takes up half the screen. Over-use of DOF. Oh, and it's a pc strategy game.

I really really REALLY wish Starbreeze made Enclave 2 instead of this Syndicate Human Revolution or whatever

this reminds me of that dragon age 2 introduction video with some fat dude telling you that you can play strategically and or head on action.

which is, bad.

EA Games: Crush Everything Childhood.

No wait, EA Games: Destroy Everything? Not sure how to make fun out of that ''Challenge everything'' slogan they had 10 years back

EA Games: Milk everything?

EA Games: Molest everything? Meh. I'll come back to it. Maybe I'm being overly critical of Starbreeze studios, but when EA games give tight time schedules, any game studio could fuck up(bioware was only given 1 year to make DA2) because of time-stress.

"We kept the interface simple..." Did you now?

I played the demo for a bit yesterday and wasn't impressed. Enemy keeps spawning all over the place and you use way too many bullets. This kind of game will get boring for me.

Jesus Christ this sounds like a shooter version of Ghost in the Shell, it's even compounded at 01:43 by a gun called Kusanagi -.-. Let me guess, there's charcter called Batou/Bulma who's some badass hacker too I bet...

I don't like this so I'm going to rant about it because: boredom? What is the root of being a fanboy? I'm going with boredom.

Fuck me. I don't mind watching ads before your videos Dtoid, but please get more than one so I don't have to watch the trailer for Underworld 4 million fucking times.
