Syndicate as a third-person action title? Oh, what could have been!

Sydnicate, the recently-released but banned in Australia first-person shooter, originally began as a third-person action title, according to the leaked CV of Steve Dyck.

The game was set to be developed by EA Canada, with Mr Dyck tasked with leading a “small team handpicked to revitalize the franchise.”

"Contributed to building the team, establishing pipelines, tools and systems. Authored many animated videos that helped keep the project alive while the engine was being developed," the CV reads.

This all happened between 2003 and 2007 and, has history would have it, never came to be. Syndicate would eventually be rebooted in the shape of a first-person shooter, which was released earlier this year in North America and Europe.

Why not make the viewing field optional like Fallout or The Elder Scrolls where you can zoom between views?
I think i'd prefer it as a third person title too.

Because it never works. There are certain compromises you must make for both views to be as good as possible, and if you go halfway (like Skyrim, for example), then you end up with view modes that are only merely acceptable.

I didn't think anything in Skyrim was 'merely acceptable". Maybe you meant to say 'freakin awesome'?
