Syndicate Wars was far more linear compared to the 1st one and the missions went for a hell of alot longer (which in itself led to many many annoying failures and then mission redos. Grr). That pissed some people off.
Still a great game however not counting the last mission. That one was horrible.
Moneys not been coming in for this kickstarter as well as I would have hoped. I hope it hits it's target + the 1st stretch goal. This is one game that I REALLY want to play.
First Shadowrun gets a sequel and now this. God damn.

So like Diablo and all its clones, eh? Except you would add "-> Grab loot" in that line of events. :)
I guess? I haven't played, nor have any interest in, Diablo and it's clones. Though I still kickstarted Sui Generis for some reason. :p

THE CAMPAIGN HAS ONLY BEEN GOING FOR 2 DAYS. Contrary to popular belief, KS gaming campaigns hitting goal in the first 24 hours or so is not the norm.

Liar. You've played Dead Island, which is a Diablo clone.

I never played much of the original Syndicate, but given how much I loved Dawn of War 2 (+ expansions), I can see myself enjoying this quite a bit when it comes out :). I have a hard time with most RTSes, but pare it down to about 4 squads, and it becomes a lot more fun.

(
http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2013/07/02/satellite-reign-and-syndicates-simulation-legacy/) RPS preview is up and it sounds awesome. Highlights include a simulated, destroyable power grid (and repair drones), dynamic civilian response based on your previous treatment of them, free-form goals (e.g. 'get some guns from somewhere') mixed with more traditional Phone Call From Zordon stuff. God knows how much of that exists other than on paper, but in principle - YES. And for that reason, I'm in!

It's still a big question mark on whether they'll get enough funding to meet the initial goal let alone the 1st stretch goal.
293K currently of the 350K needed. 6 days left. But as long as they can get around 10K a day from here onwards there's hope.

Oh, I have no doubts that the game will meet initial funding. A last minute swell of pledges seems to be standard SOP for those Kickstarters with "built in" popularity (eg successors to classic games).

473273.5 GBP total (KS + (
473273.5) Paypal) raised at this time.
We've got environmental destruction and Syndicate's composer Russell Shaw, doing the sound design and music. Awesome stuff.

Second that. Did far better than it initially looked like it was going to go.
