I've been on the fence about this game, I'll probably just rent it

dski10805184d ago

I think with a good group of co-op friends, this game will be worth the money.

Reborn5184d ago

I agree. Though, I met a few good people on the demo. However, I also met a lot of people who didn't have no clue that staying in the small room wasn't going to win the game.

What engine is this made on? In terms of presentation, it really reminds me of crysis2. I'm referring to the environments and stuff. But not bad, it looks nice.

I love the fact that the HUD is so so immersive. Theres never a reading screen, its all within the game. I mean look at the gun, it shows the ammo capacity and everything. All the info is just amazingly transitioned with the game universe. I like that, its kind of what Dead Space did.

STONEY45184d ago (Edited 5184d ago )

I'm pretty sure it's Starbreeze's own engine, since that's what they've always used. All of their games have had pretty nice graphics, with an emphasis on shadows and surreal lighting.

I'm confused??

it says the whole single player campaign yet the video is only 15 mins long?

is that title worded bad or am i just being a retard?

kerstetter5184d ago

That's just the first video/level. The rest of the game is split up into separate videos for each level.

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.

MadLad1135d ago

What online functionality did Shadows of the Damned even have?

kevco331135d ago

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

coolbeans1135d 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.

mastershredder1134d ago

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

IamTylerDurden11134d 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?

ABizzel11488d ago

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

MeteorPanda1488d ago

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

porkChop1488d 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.

annoyedgamer1488d ago

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

Gheritt_White1488d 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.

PrimeVinister1767d ago

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

FPS_D3TH1767d ago

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

isarai1767d ago

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

FPS_D3TH1767d 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

PrimeVinister1767d 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

PrimeVinister1767d 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.

DeviateFish1767d ago

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

porkChop1767d 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.

PrimeVinister1767d ago

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