The new rating for the game known as “Project Red” doesn’t tell us much, other than that it comes with “strong violence” and that the “gaming experience may change online”. It also doesn’t tell us, explicitly, that this is Starbreeze Studios’ take on the classic cyberpunk Syndicate universe. It tells us that EA is getting a little bit better about masking its game announcements.
Speaking of, shouldn’t an official reveal of Project Red be coming soon, if the game’s already being submitted to a government ratings board? If it does, we’ll pretend to be surprised if the game, like XCOM, makes the switch to first-person shooter.

Meeeemories. I hope they keep it retro (but I know they won’t).

If they don’t go retro, I hope they throw in the originals.

Tuesday, May 4, 2010 at 12:49 PMIf there is a new Syndicate game coming out for both PC and consoles I’m hoping that they paid a lot of attention to Halo Wars. Its not the best RTS but it does a good job of highlighting where a faithful Syndicate game could go right/wrong.
That and Dead Rising. Nothing says Syndicate like a thousand mindless zombies following you around. =P

Wednesday, May 5, 2010 at 12:31 PMEA managed to get a game rated and we’re still unsure of what it actually is? That is surprising.
Everything gets leaked online these days, so EA are obviously playing this one very close to their chest.
I have high-hopes for the Syndicate remake, but I also expect to be disappointed…
