Syndicate confirmé en images et en infos

Après des années de rumeurs (on en a entendu parler pour la première fois en 2008), EA ... n'a toujours pas officialisé le nouveau Syndicate. Mais Origin, son magasin en ligne, s'en est chargé pour lui en mettant accidentellement en ligne la fiche du jeu quelques minutes.

Du Syndicate original, il ne reste guerre plus qu'un univers futuriste où il n'y a plus de gouvernements, juste des mega-corporations qui se livrent une guerre pour la domination du "marché". Miles Kilo, le héros du jeu, sera un agent issu de la bio-ingénierie d'EuroCorp, une des ces firmes.

Concrètement, le jeu est devenu un FPS futuriste, dans lequel on pourra barder le corps de ce cher Miles d'augmentations d'implants cybernétiques qui permettront de ralentir le temps, voir à travers les murs ou hacker tout et n'importe quoi, ennemis compris. On n'a pas fini de comparer le jeu avec DX3, mais ce Syndicate aura au moins un atout : un mode coop à quatre. On vous met le descriptif complet du jeu dans la suite, avec les premières images au format timbre-poste.

Syndicate est développé par Starbreeze, mais ce ne sera hélas pas un gage de qualité : les membres clés du staff, ceux qui ont bossé sur Riddick et The Darkness, se sont barrés depuis bien longtemps du studio. On va voir de quoi la nouvelle équipe est capable. Merci PoF.be.

Syndicate is the re-imagination of a cult classic franchise from 1993 - a unique action shooter set in a not too distant future, where Business is War.
2069 – No longer governed by politicians, the developed world is divided up into regions controlled by megacorporations known as Syndicates. These Syndicates have revolutionized how the consumer interacts with the digital world. No longer does the consumer require a device to access the world¡¦s data and control their technology, they can do this at the blink of an eye via neural chip implant. Civilians flocked to be ¡§chip¡¦d¡¨ and enjoy all that their selected Syndicate has to offer; housing, medical, banking, insurance, education, entertainment and jobs. One complete package. One complete lifestyle. In return, the Syndicates gained unprecedented insights, and control, over the individual and their behaviour. With little governmental oversight, business has become war. The Syndicates will stop at nothing for ultimate market dominance. At the front line of this war are the Agents, the Syndicate's bio-engineered and chip-augmented enforcers. They can breach anything in the wired world including their enemies, their weapons and the environment that surrounds them, making them the most efficient and deadly technological weapons in the world.

Take on the role of Miles Kilo, Eurocorp's latest prototype agent, and embark on a brutal action adventure of corruption and revenge.
