  • Satellite Reign promises a return to the mean streets of Syndicate

    You'll know when the future finally gets here. You'll know, because it will probably coincide with someone you love being killed by a door.
    Take my hacker. I really adored that guy. He was so good with terminals. Too good, perhaps, and - ha ha! - too terminal. There we were a few days ago, staging a sneak assault on the villainous Ronin Corporation and he'd just tippy-tapped the firm's huge front gate open. He raced on through, and the rest of us were going to follow him. Gates in the future are fast, though, and this one slammed shut before the rest of us could use it. What a treat: three heavily-armed neck-breaking types, lingering uselessly in the street, while one slender hacker - the only one who could do anything about that gate - was stuck on the other side of a wall, getting leisurely shot to pieces by Ronin security guards. The future's harsh.
    Satellite Reign isn't the future, of course. It's so much better than that. It's the future of the past - a spiritual successor to the Syndicate series, taking us back to yesterday's tomorrow, where the streets are always shiny with rain and latticed by neon, where police cruisers hover just above the ground, fishtailing woozily at the slightest provocation, and where the only thing you ever want to be caught wearing is a leather trenchcoat and wraparound shades.
