Trailer and screenshots:2069 – No longer governed by politicians, the developed world is divided up into regions controlled by mega-corporations 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.
C...ivilians 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.

I'd embed the trailer, but fullscreen wouldn't work then. I'd link to it but Youtube then requires you to log in cause it's "been flagged". On that page you don't need to.

Might be one to get a new PC for, hmmm. Waiting for a review...
I was really into Syndicate on the Amiga and Syndicate Wars on the original Playstation (played with mouse and controller). Anyone else?
The co-op trailer says it has 9 missions from the original Syndicate. So maybe it will be true to the original, and have what made it great.
For those that don't know, in the original and sequel, you controlled a team of 4 agents from an isometric viepoint in a dystopian Blade Runner-esque cityscape, with current and futuristic weaponry. You could demolish buildings and raised roads in Syndicate Wars. I tell you Syndicate Wars was some scary shit with some of the enemies - giant metal robot spiders. Not simply cause of how they looked and sounded, but what their attributes and abilities were, i.e. proper gameplay horror, none of this "horror game" shit. The sound and music was excellent. Excellently eery.
The music in the new trailer's atmospheric enough.
