Syndicate "Origins" Story Trailer

A history lesson, from 8-bit to 1080p

This was a unique approach to a trailer, but I really liked it. Not many people (including me) knew that the upcoming Syndicate is actually a modern adaptation of an old 8-bit game, and the first half of this trailer caught us all up to speed.

The last half shed a little bit more light on the story itself, namely the corporation that our protagonist (which I'm still not really sure if he's good or bad) works for. Its name is Eurocorp and it sells militarized technology, which makes the parts where you were extracting data chips from dead scientists brains make way more sense. You're employed by Eurocorp to essentially steal information from the other corporations with the help of your partner/mentor who had a really awesome looking sniper rifle.

Between this trailer and the original gameplay one that was released, I'm starting to get very interested in this game. Seems like this was a good call for a reboot, now let's just hope it can follow through.

Syndicate - Announcement Trailer

My mind is blown in so many different ways after watching this trailer. But let's hit the basics first: In the not too distant future, corporations (what they do is a total mystery) are at war with each other and hire agents to obtain what I can only imagine is information that will get them ahead of the game. So this agent whose identity is nothing more then Agent Kilo, is running around shooting and manipulating people in order to obtain said information.

Now let's get to the good stuff. The gun play looked super smooth, and the fact that the same gun had different sights for different types of shooting is awesome. He walks into a dude getting interrogated by two bad guys, manipulates one into shooting his buddy via some jedi mind trick (I make way too many Star Wars references) then gets him to off himself. He extracts a chip out some guys brain after killing him. HE SHOOTS AROUND A FREAKING WALL. Too much crazy action in two minutes.

Oh, and the song is by Skrillex. This whole thing is a giant win.
