    I read on Shacknews that EA are planning on ressurecting the series. The guys behind Riddick are apparently doing it.

    I have a bad feeling about this. What are the chances you will be able to gun down a hundred pedestrians from your car? Probably small no? I predict a disappointment. I can smell it.

    Starbreeze are very talented, so I have faith they can do the property justice. Let's wait for some actual content though eh? :D

    So long as it still says "minigun" in that cool voice when selected I'll be happy.

    Riddick was an awesome game, such a shame it went unnoticed by the masses.

    As for the minigun, pfft what you want is Satellite Rain. Nothing says hello better than tungsten-uranium alloy rods fired from an orbiting satellite, melting in the atmosphere and raining down on the enemy from above. :D

    Quote from a Peter Molly-hue interview in 2006:

    "Aside from the licensing complications, some sort of next-gen online version of Syndicate would certainly be popular with gamers...I 'd love to reprise games like Syndicate, Populous, and Dungeon Keeper, but as you point out, we'd need some business development people to sort this out."

    That said, we all know how full of waffle he was back then.
