Thank you for the donations over the past year (2024), it is much appreciated. I am still trying to figure out how to migrate the forums to another community software (probably phpbb) but in the meantime I have updated the forum software to the latest version. SSC has been around a while so their is some very long time members here still using the site, thanks for making SSC home and sorry I haven't been as vocal as I should be in the forums I will try to improve my posting frequency.

Thank you again to all of the members that do take the time to donate a little, it helps keep this station functioning on the outer reaches of space.

I have been looking at this game and it looks amazing in this gameplay footage of a early level. It has a Deus Ex feel to it and I definitely like all the hacking you can do in the game to enhance yourself and to use people and the environment to help assist you. This will be a game to watch.

Looks quite good Darkone but I have to admit I was expecting the game to be more of an RTS like the original one was. Still, it will be interesting to see how much of the legacy of the first game the devs will include in their new title 🙂

Couldn't find any info on the possibility of a female lead character option 🙁 But we don't have too much longer to wait since it will be out in 2/2012. I really like this concept and looks like they are trying to stay close to the original... in theory.

Oh one thing that came to mind when watching that trailer was the main characters other partners voice, I heard it before and believe it was the villain in the Crow and he played in Alien Resurection.

Some new 4 player co-op action and it looks pretty darn good.

I remember playing this game on the amiga and loved it!

There was also Syndicate Wars if I remember rightly, although I prefered the orgional from what I can remember but there is something awsome about controlling 4 bio enhanced guys with trench coats and blowing the hell out of things.

they really dont make games how they use to, such a shame really, I think the 90's was such a special time when it came to game design. I really wish I had an old pc to be able play these games I'm finding properly. I think in recent times they stoped making games that involved around game play and focused on graphics, and then become graphic obessessed, of course these are just my feelings and dont amount to much.

I played the original quite a while back and I really have like these trailers because they seem to set the mood that the original gave me. Yeah today's games lack usually depth and story for the most part to cater to the graphics whores out there. But occasionally the devs are allowed to be creative, its the companies holding t he purse strings that stifle creativity. This is more of a action related title but there is a decent amount of content that I have seen from the trailers that I like so far.

To be honest I don't remember much of a story for syndicate, though I do remember it being extremely indepth, I think thats what alot of games miss these days, for example for x-com the amount of research you could do was amazing, and the progress from where you start and where you end up has alot of development.

But same was true with syndicate ......If I remember rightly...... Deciding if you wanted to research body parts or types of weaponary, trying to take over other companies, if they make it simular or along those lines it will certainly be a game I look forward to seeing in the future 🙂

Sure looks like a game I'd play but I'd not compare with the latest Deus Ex, that game is way too good in terms of graphics and story and overall feel. I really hope this "Syndycate" game will be good cause I'll need something to keep me busy till GTA V.
