Syndicate remake finally on the cards?

Speculation is rife that Syndicate, one of the blog's all-time favourites, is going to make an extremely welcome reappearance in the (hopefully) not too distant future. EA and Starbreeze Studios are said to be behind the project and apparently trademarks have been filed. EA are so far keeping schtum though…

For some time now the internet has been awash with rumours about resurrecting the old classic from the stable of Peter Molyneux and Bullfrog. Just look up Project RedLime in Google and there’s plenty of news about…

It still appears to be early days and the series' reincarnation is far from certain but there are scores of gamers out there that hope to get their hands on a gauss gun again!

It's been all too long since the original Syndicate (1993), its American Revolt add-on pack and Syndicate Wars (1996) were emblazoned upon our monitors.
This gamer just prays that the team behind it leaves a winning formula well alone. Enhance the graphics by all means, tweak the sound FX and throw in a few new weapons but please keep the style and substance of the original's gameplay. An online multiplayer mode would be most welcome though!!!

Personally I hope it remains an isometric top down experience too... I'd hate it to be dramatically overhauled with some sort of first person perspective added – all too common these days.

Who knows, maybe the use of Microsoft’s much-vaunted motion control device Natal or the Playstation Move could put you in the actual shoes of genetically enhanced cyber agent intent on destruction.

Cool or what?
