I just managed to get down to playing the Syndicate Co-Op Demo the other day on my PS3. The game was just announced last year and the folks over at Starbreeze Studios have been working over time on this one. Starbreeze have an amazing pedigree with games like Darkness and Chronicles of Riddick. This shows mostly in the incredibly good shooting mechanics.
In the multiplayer demo, which is called Co-op. There is a choice of being one of four different characters that can have any of 4 different loadouts. You can pick and choose how you fill out those loadouts. Everything from healing to hacking is covered. As you level up, you have access to mods for weapons, different skills, and upgrades to your actual agent. It’s incredibly interesting and I can’t wait to see how all this stuff evolves.
All of this is only hinted at in the demo. I really liked playing the available missions a few times in order to level and try to do better. As the final boss in the level is pretty tough. This game is looking up to be an exciting alternative to games like MW3 and Battlefield 3. I can’t wait to play the final product and get my hands on the single player campaign which also looks amazing.
While there are plenty of shooters out there. At least games like Syndicate, Darkness 2, etc… Are distancing themselves from the boring modern military stuff that has choked the market in previous years.
