In case you don't know, Syndicate is a franchise that has been around since the 90's, and that was something I didn't know until I played the original Syndicate and Syndicate Wars by Bullfrog on a DOS Emulator. I'm a big RTS fan and the Syndicate reboot felt empty and linear even though it was a visually great looking and sounding game, as result I enjoyed the games that came out 20 years earlier more. In the 20 or so years since Wars, the lead developer or the game Mike Diskett came out of the shadows and announced Satellite Reign(A pun on Wars's Satellite Rain weapon) as a spiritual successor to Syndicate Wars, spiritual being that EA owns all aspects of the original franchise so sorry folks, no Church of the New Epoch or EuroCorp in this one. Gameplay will be like Wars but everything will be more vivid and realistic. Agents are now class restricted so now you can't have a four man walking tank with Miniguns like you used to. This is a leap forward since it actually promotes strategy instead of steamrolling which most RTS games have blatantly allowed. I'm not going to spoil everything about this game but it looks very cool and promising with it's different take on RTS with a setting that hasn't been seen in 20 years.
Fund this now and lets get the true Syndicate we've all been waiting for.
