History Videogame / Syndicate

* OvertOperative: The intro mentions that the corporations employ covert agents like yourself. Covert, you most certainly are not.

* [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill Storm the rally with flamethrowers]] and burn everyone to charred remains.

A reboot of the series was released in February 2012 but unlike its predecessors, the new Syndicate game will be an action {{RPG}}/{{FPS}} hybrid... written by RichardKMorgan. You play as Miles Kilo, a new Agent under Eurocorp. A four-player co-op mode is also included, where you play as one of four Agents under rival syndicate Wulf Western going against others syndicates, including Eurocorp. A demo for co-op was released 1 February 2012 for Xbox 360 and PS3, showcasing the Western Europe level.

* LightningGun: The Electron Mace from ''Wars''. The reboot will bring it back.

* ManInWhite: The Cayman Global officers have white armour, unlike the black and dark grey of Sergeants or normal grunts. [[spoiler: Merit also wears a white armour in the final battle.]]

* ButNotTooEvil: Inverted. Reviewers called out Starbreeze for [[spoiler:throwing in a HeelFaceTurn]] instead of letting you fully embrace the VillainProtagonist role of the originals.

* EvilVersusEvil: Eurocorp and Aspari. They fight against one another, but both of them show callous disregard for the lives of their customers and personnel.

* LimitBreak: DART Overlay.

* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: One of the agents in the trailer for the remake's Co-Op mode is called Akuma, which roughly translates as "Demon" in Japanese.

* MusicalSpoiler: Indicates an enemy cyborg in the vicinity. This is what Skrillex remixed for the remake's theme.

* TeleportSpam: Aspari Agent Tatsuo.

* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: In the reboot. Sergeants are EliteMooks, the Lieutenants may be minibosses and the Colonel in co-op demo is a boss.

* BlingBlingBang: A preorder bonus for the remake's co-op.

* CallForward: The reboot's co-op levels to the original.

* CombatMedic: One of the reboot's co-op only Breaches is the ability to heal your teammates.

* [[CyberPunkIsTechno Cyberpunk is Dubstep]]: The 2012 remake's soundtrack features songs by Skrillex.

* DoppelgangerSpin: Done by the remake's Agent Tatsuo.

* GutturalGrowler: Agent Merit in the remake.
* HandCannon: All the handguns in the remake, but especially the Bullhammer Mk II, a [[RevolversAreJustBetter revolver]] firing .600. One upgrade option for that is the [[MagneticWeapons Magnetic Acceleration Rail]], which gives it an impact profile, to directly quote the fluff, "such that it's often mistaken for cannon or explosive blasts in police investigations."

* HoistByHisOwnPetard: To defeat Ramon in the remake, you must Breach his missiles and turn them against him.

** Averted in the reboot, which makes you conform to the now-standard two gun setup.

* InternetBacklash: Hoo boy. As soon as the anouncement video for the reboot came out, many people complained that the game was: A) going to be a bad remake of a good game, B) just going to be another generic FPS because the devs wouldn't use the isometric style from the previous games, and C) a copy of VideoGame/DeusExHumanRevolution. Whether or not A is true is a matter of opinion. B is as well, though footage indicates that the gameplay is very similar to the previous games, only adjusted to one character and a first-person view. C is downright wrong, considering that the game has actually been in development for a while.
* InvisibilityCloak: Present for some mooks in the reboot; no word on Miles or the co-op characters having one yet.

* KungFuProofMook: Higher-ranking enemies in the reboot are initially immune to Breaches and must be softened up first.

* LimitBreak: DART Overlay in the reboot.

* ManInWhite: The reboot's enemy officers have white armour, unlike the black and dark grey of Sergeants or normal grunts.

* MusicalSpoiler: Indicates an enemy cyborg in the vicinity. This is what Skrillex remixed for the remake's theme.
* MythologyGag: In the opening sequence of the reboot there is a part where the years tick up to the time the game takes place in. It starts in 1993 when the original came out.
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: One of the agents in the trailer for the remake's Co-Op mode is called Akuma, which roughly translates as "Demon" in Japanese.

* NonLethalKO: When you run out of health in the reboot's co-op, you have to be rebooted by a teammate.

* PercussiveMaintenance: The Agent in the reboot, or atleast the DART 6 system is activated by a {{Mook}} punching him repeatedly, it makes some sense as the DART is fueled by adrenaline.

** The reboot has Kusanagi brand assault and sniper rifles. While the name is OlderThanTheyThink, in this context it's hard to avoid thinking of [[GhostInTheShell a certain Major.]]

* TeleportSpam: Tatsuo in the remake.

* ZeppelinsFromAnotherWorld: You operate from an airship with huge advertising screens on the sides.
