I was just discussing games with a friend over IRC, and the name "Syndicate" was thrown in. Cue a couple of attempts at doing the music (neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeewww weeeew weeeeewww..... dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun )

I thought it'd be a nice project to take up. I figure, rather than concentrating on physics or graphics, it'd be focused on gameplay/AI. Coolness in itself, I'm sure you'll agree.

How would you go about taking advantage of modern technology, whilst still remaining faithful to the simplicity of the original game? I've done a bit of research and I found that this game was released 9 years ago! It doesn't seem that long ....

Syndicate Wars sucked shit. Somehow, it lost something in its leap to true 3D.... I think perhaps it became a little bit too complicated. It also lost the crisp graphics, because 3D wasn't really up to much in 96.

Anyway - it was just a thought. I think it shows that perhaps some games are best left alone.
