They talk as if this game has already came out.

NAGNEWS5206d ago

but my question is why are ppl always complaining to to get some hits

Legionaire20055205d ago

Uhhh yea it's out now but not yesterday.

kevnb5206d ago

I hate this website, they post the same thing or every game and its usually not very useful to anybody. It mentions to turn off options that arent even there on some games.

Syndicate Reboot Servers to Close

Electronic Arts has announced a number of server closures in the coming months, including Apex Mobile and the 2012 Syndicate reboot.

MadLad1157d ago

What online functionality did Shadows of the Damned even have?

kevco331157d ago

My thoughts exactly! Some kind of score chart I've forgotten about?

coolbeans1157d ago

Syndicate's big saving grace will soon be erased for good. I'll give *some* credit to EA in keeping servers up for 10+ years.

mastershredder1156d ago

Oh yeah, an actual cyberpunk game. I have fond memories of the old bullfrog Syndicates.

IamTylerDurden11155d ago

Syndicate was a fun and high quality late PS3 fps that got swallowed in the sea of fps at the time. It was short and it didn't innovate but it had good visuals and fun combat. Starbreeze i believe. Rip Torn and Rosario Dawson.

Syndicate - 10 Years with no Reboot Reboot

10 years since the Syndicate series was rebooted as an FPS, perhaps it's time we got another reboot as a strategy game?

ABizzel11510d ago

I enjoyed this game, especially the co-op. It was solid sleeper hit IMO.

MeteorPanda1510d ago

was this the game with the cars on rails and you could blow up killing everyone in it? l loved this game, lol

porkChop1510d ago

I couldn't get past the first half hour or something. Hard to remember but I didn't play long. I don't know if there was something wrong with the PC version or not, but the bloom was so bad it hurt my eyes. I started getting a horrible headache. I could hardly see anything because there was extremely intense bloom everywhere.

annoyedgamer1510d ago

EA always let their PC versions fall by the wayside. The same thing happened with Dead Space 1.

Gheritt_White1510d ago

This remains one of my fave hard sci-fi FPS games from the X360 era. A compelling premise with an interesting setting and solid characters, plus outstanding special ability mechanics. Def deserves more love.

Five Abused Video Game Visual Effects

Like children with new toys, developers can excitedly overdo it with visual effects until good sense prevails - here are five examples of exactly that from across video games history

Dirt on the lens (and JJ Abrahms style overuse of lens flare) is the worst, especially in war games like Battlefield. We're not supposed to be a camera! Way to ruin the illusion of actually being the player we're controlling.

PrimeVinister1789d ago

Yeah, that's a bad one that is missing from the list

FPS_D3TH1789d ago

Most soldiers today wear goggles or tactical glasses so dirt on the lens isn’t that much of a stretch tbh

isarai1789d ago

Vignettes, chromatic aberration, and that annoying thing where they blur the corners of the screen. Also film grain.

FPS_D3TH1789d ago

All those immediately get turned off when I load up my settings haha. Unless I’m going for screenshots it’s more than annoying

PrimeVinister1789d ago

You are mostly stuck with whatever terrible effects on console. There are some options like motion blur that can switched off but it's not common

PrimeVinister1789d ago

Depth of field is annoying. Along with most camera or lens effects.

But DoF will be cool in the future when they can track what you are looking at and apply DoF accordingly.

DeviateFish1789d ago

Don't forget camera shake and "realistic" camera movement in cutscenes.

porkChop1788d ago

The Syndicate reboot had the absolute worst bloom I've ever seen. It literally hurt my eyes and gave me a headache just from playing. I could never finish it.

PrimeVinister1788d ago

Absolutely. Beyond the distraction and obstruction, it looked unpleasant a lot of the time.
