EA and Starbreeze Studios Announce the Revival of the Cult Classic Franchise Syndicate

REDWOOD CITY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: ERTS) and Starbreeze Studios today announced the reinvention of Syndicate, a storied franchise at EA. Created by an all-new development team from the awarding-winning studio that brought gamers The Chronicles of Riddick and The Darkness, Starbreeze Studios delivers a unique and brutal sci-fi first-person shooter experience set in a not too distant future, where business is war. Players take on the role of Miles Kilo, Eurocorp's latest prototype agent, and embark on an epic action adventure full of corruption and revenge.

"We are excited to finally reveal what we've been working on the past couple years," says Mikael Nermark, CEO of Starbreeze Studios. "It's been a great experience working with EA, and an amazing opportunity for us to use our expertise in the first person shooter and action genres to bring back, and reignite, the signature action/espionage gameplay of Syndicate."

Set in 2069, Syndicate takes players into a dark, Machiavellian world run without government oversight with many syndicates vying for total dominance of their local market place. With no one to question their intentions or actions, three mega corporations — Eurocorp, Cayman Global, and Aspari — are at the forefront of this brutal war for control of the pivotal American market. In the world of Syndicate, everything is digitally connected, including the people. Players aren't limited to the weapons in their hands. Through DART 6 bio-chip technology implanted in their head, players can slow down time and breach the digital world around them to take down their foes using a variety of upgradable hacking mechanics. Syndicate's blend of fast-paced, futuristic, action shooter settings and story combined with innovative chip breach gameplay instantly immerses players in a unique digital world.

"Our goal with Syndicate is to provide a challenging action shooter for today's gamers as well as fans of the original. I'm sure they will enjoy and recognize the legacy that made it such a classic," says Jeff Gamon, EA Partners Executive Producer. "Fans of the franchise will recognize many weapons and environments in the game, but in a whole new way. The game also provides a separate and deep 4-player co-op mode featuring missions from the original cult classic, which adds another layer of depth to the overall experience."

Syndicate will be available in early 2012 for the PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system, Xbox 360® videogame and entertainment system and the PC. For more information on Syndicate, please visit www.syndicate.ea.com.

Erg tof.

Pegas · 12 sep 2011

Ik heb wel zo'n vermoeden dat de screens van de pc versie zijn. Niet alleen om resolutie van de screens (16:10 gebruikers lijken weeral zwarte banden te krijgen), maar ook om de grahpics. Deze lijken lijken me net iets te goed voor de console versie van een multi-platform game. Maar goed, Starbreeze heeft ook voor The Chronicles of Riddick gezorgd op de eerset Xbox waar de game ook een grafische patser was dus met hun achter het roer kan het natuurlijk misschien wel de console versie zijn .

Delphiki · 12 sep 2011

Erg gaaf dat we weer eens wat moois van Starbreeze zien maar aan de andere kant wel kut dat zowel X-COM als Syndicate shooters zijn geworden..

Modder-Eter · 12 sep 2011

Ik vind het echter wel heel erg Deus Ex.
Kom op, dezelfde stijl en dan ook nog eens ook in China?

Werd tijd zeg. DOA is om de een of andere reden de enige fighter die ik leuk vind om te spelen.

LucasArts making "Aerial Combat Title"

X-Wing and Tie Fighter dev LucasArts is hiring staff for an Aerial Combat Title.

Experience with flight sims, aerial shooters and "especially space-based shooters" is considered "a plus", according to a senior gameplay engineer job advert.

Could LucasArts be in the throes of reviving 1990's spaceship shooter series X-Wing?

Other LucasArts job posts tease an action adventure game and a first-person shooter.

There's no indication yet of what they are. A third Star Wars Battlefront game has long been lost in development purgatory, and was once in the hands of TimeSplitters studio Free Radical Design.

Earlier this year, LucasArts signed the Unreal engine for use in "multiple" titles. LucasArts boss Paul Meegan also promised to make better games than 5/10 effort The Force Unleashed 2.

Ik ben benieuwd. Ik vond de Rogue Squadron titels al zeer leuk al werden deze wel gemaakt door Factor 5 in niet in-house bij Lucasarts. Al waren naar het schijnt X-Wing en Tie Figther ook goede games (heb ze nooit zelf gespeeld).

THQ AND CRYTEK COLLABORATE TO DEVELOP NEXT HOMEFRONT TITLE

Legendary FPS Developer Set To Take THQ's Successful Original IP
To New Heights

AGOURA HILLS, Calif., September 20, 2011 - THQ Inc., (NASDAQ: THQI) today announced that the next title in its Homefront® franchise will be developed by multi-award winning FPS veterans Crytek.

"Selecting Crytek to take Homefront forward underscores our strategy of working with the industry's best talent," said Danny Bilson, EVP Core Games, THQ. "Homefront's unique setting and storyline captivated gamers the world over. With Crytek's industry leading technology and legendary experience in the FPS genre, we're supremely confident that the next Homefront will deliver that AAA-quality experience that players demand."

"We see Homefront as a really strong universe that has a lot of potential and that has been expertly created and marketed by THQ," said Cevat Yerli, Founder, CEO and President of Crytek. "We believe that bringing our level of quality, creativity and production values to the next Homefront title creates an opportunity for both THQ and Crytek to deliver a truly blockbuster game. It's really important to us that THQ has the faith in giving us a lot of creative freedom over one of its most important properties to allow us to bring the Homefront world to life in a new and innovative way."

The first Homefront title was released in March 2011, and proved to be a commercial success for THQ. The yet-to-be-named sequel is scheduled for release in THQ's fiscal year 2014 on console and PC platforms.

About Homefront
The year is 2027. The world as we know it is unraveling after fifteen years of economic meltdown and widespread global conflict over dwindling natural resources.

A once proud America has fallen, her infrastructure shattered and military in disarray. Crippled by a devastating EMP strike the USA is powerless to resist the ever expanding occupation of a savage, nuclear armed Greater Korean Republic.

Abandoned by her former allies, the United States is a bleak landscape of walled towns and abandoned suburbs. This is a police state where high school stadiums have become detention centers, and shopping malls shelter armored attack vehicles. A once-free people are now prisoners ... or collaborators ... or revolutionaries.

Meanwhile, the splintered nations of Europe struggle to maintain peace at home, as the global economy continues its downward spiral, and civil order disintegrates. The world is teetering on the brink of ruin ...

Daz · 20 sep 2011

Awesome!

Delphiki · 20 sep 2011

Uitstekende zet. Geeft wel aan dat THQ zich wel echt met de grote jongens wil gaan meten.

Ben ook meteen 2 x zo geinteresseerd in Homefront 2

fredfenster · 20 sep 2011

Hoe was Homefront 1 sp?

Die game was toch niet zo succesvol als de kop doet vermoeden?

Daz · 20 sep 2011

Ik vond 'm best vermakelijk, niet heel bijzonder maar gewoon oké.

Stephan123 · 20 sep 2011

Crytek en Homefront = \o/

fredfenster · 20 sep 2011

Hoe lang deed je er ongeveer over?

Die dan ook nog maar halen misschien, is toch fucking cheap.

Delphiki · 20 sep 2011

Ik heb hem niet gespeeld maar hij was aan de korte kant, volgens mij rond de 4-6 uur?

Voor de SP zou ik eerder Crysis2 of Bulletstorm aanraden denk ik.

Dat baseer ik dus puur op reviews en wat ik van homefront heb gelezen, heb zelf alleen wat MP gespeeld (was ik ook erg snel klaar mee)
