Welp, had to happen sooner or later: A kickstarter for a spiritual successor to Syndicate.
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/...
Satellite Reign is a real-time, class-based strategy game. You control a team of four agents, each with distinct and unique abilities, collectively battling for control of a fully simulated, living cyberpunk city.The game world is designed to facilitate emergent gameplay, giving you the tools and freedom to play how you want to play, so you can create strategies and scenarios that not even we had anticipated!
Customise your team with the strength to destroy your enemies head-on, or hack into their facilities to manipulate their infrastructure without them ever knowing you were even there.
Will you take down your enemies with brute-force? Covert espionage and infiltration? Or will you use propaganda to influence the citizens of the city and overthrow the controlling powers?
Satellite Reign will be released on Windows, Mac OS and Linux.
I'm in: managed to get one of the last 4 "early bird" pledges for £29 including Beta access, Art and sountrack.
Reference to this?
Someone needs to Kickstart a spiritual successor to the 2012 Syndicate ^_^
Reference to this?
Most certainly
Backed this earlier today for more than I should've but not at a totally stupid amount.
Looking good, complete with music from the original composer to boot! This ones on my watch list.

Actually, that's their first stretch goal
18 days to go and they're most of the way to the goal. This RPS interview from a week or so ago has me really hopeful this will be worth it.
I backed it. I'm hopeful.
Wow! Yes please!
There is only one thing I need to know. Do we get a Persuadatron?
Do we get a Persuadatron?
I think they said the hacker class is going to have some persuadatron like abilities.
EDIT: Found it...
The hacker can hack into and take over mechs, and augmentation of civilians – he’s an agent which takes the role of the persuadatron in the original Syndicate games
Can they legally use the term "persuadertron?" It's such a great word. A perfect word, in context. It describes what it does in dystopian double-speak and has a goofy "tron" on the back so you know it's a future gadget.
I will kick in for this game... If they let me upgrade my agents with cybernetic skeletons, and if once I give them a cybernetic torso they start breathing all mechanical-like.
And possibly if they don't do those things, too.
But it'd be awesome if they did.
I haven't backed a single kickstarter yet. Several have tempted me, but none like this one. Syndicate is one of my favourite games of all time and I'm strongly considering kickstarting this one.
Steven Dengler (who runs Dracogen which has backed a bunch of big name Kickstarter projects and a handful of other titles) is the evil CEO you'll be taking down. Because of course he is.
Who on earth would have a collar like that?

I know... Isn't it dreamy?
This passed it's funding goal.
I love how that video is a call back to the mission victory screen from Syndicate. So glad this was funded, although I'm curious what Paradox is doing with their "Cabal" project they announced last year.

Last I read, Cabal was on the shelf. As in on hold. If I remember the quote, the game was not turning out how they hoped it would and the devs had to go back to the drawing board. Note that I am interpreting something that I vaguely remember reading, so NaCl, etc.
Edit: Also Cabal no longer appears on the Paradox Upcoming Games forums.
I am glad this game got funded. I am looking forward to seeing the final product. It seemed a likely reboot for Kickstarter.
Let's hop they make the 20-ish K they need to get Russel Shaw on board!
I hope this does well. Really enjoyed Syndicate Wars.
Surprised it's not gotten more backing!
There's a couple of issues, some are cultural (Americans are apparently less likely to back projects only taking GBP), some are issues with the tier structure (access to the game starts at $24? I think and they only had 1000 early bird slots) and finally Syndicate just isn't well known outside of Europe which is sad.
Also, if they don't meet the stretch goals for additional factions the devs said they'll put them out as post-release DLC. Paid DLC obviously, but I'm glad we're going to eventually see that content at some point.
Really happy we'll have Russel Shaw and destructible environments at launch
That engine looks awesome. Can't wait!
especially given the American-themed expansion.
You mean the one where America rebels and Eurocorp sends you to re-conquer it?
