Syndicate music medley (1993)

[@LILMELEE]

Almost 25 years of this song playing in the back of my mind, never remembering the game or the song name.. and now I find it, randomly by looking up the definition of "syndicate".. Amazing!

[@patrickbennett439]

Jeeeeeez, wtf. lol. Yea this song sometimes does that to me in the back of my mind, but I knew where it came from. I played it as a kid at a friends house. Its very catchy.

[@infiniteai9768]

Total time machine. I can remember when I was 10 years old and dying to play this game at my friend's house. His older brother had this on his PC 486dx. Those were the days.

[@DavienMcCarty]

the new dubstep mixes of this song were good and all but for the type of game that the original story was this version just fit so well. it had a sense of deception and uneasiness that just went hand in hand with the rise and fall of the company.

[@Zaarin2007]

you were playing it wrong if the company fell ;)

[@-BuddyGuy]

It's a very common problem with remakes. Bigger louder broader fuller but missing the real point of the original. Modern technology has the advantage of way more tracks and higher fidelity than in 1993, but this should have been used in more subtle ways.

Flesh bound to machine, mind wiped but all seeing, only one clear goal in it - finnish the mission syndicate, evaporate oh shit Im vaping too much if this bud. This is what I see and hear when I walk aming the humans. I feel nothing, I see everything, I am syndicated.

The audio on that bit was always a bit off. When I was a kid I always thought he said "SERACLIP" Kids, huh?

This game has such a cool soundtrack. It feels totally futuristic and dystopian, it feels like a society in distress. It also feels like it's on the edge of madness and violence.

He did a proper remix. It was probably the right track for the time.

I'll never forget the last mission on this game. When the panic beat drops... Just set your agents to panic mode and equip them with a ton of mini guns and a few snipers. Then just sit back and watch the movie style carnage unfold. lol

[@doesntmatter5857]

Those were the days. I went for two shields and as many lasers as you can carry, desperately hoping the damage would be enough to stem the tidal wave of suicidal agents coming towards my team.

Computers when this came out were big hot and clunky and made mechanical sounds when you switched them on. They had big vents and smelled like electronics. You had to configure sound blaster on your PC and type in commands to run your game. This music sounded exactly how it should have sounded. You could really hear the sound coming out of your circuit boards

Incredibly sinister track, I love it. Someone ought to make a proper redux of this song. Not asking for DnB or dubstep, just the original tune with better sound, and longer tracks for each medley.

I feel like EA is raping my soul. This is the first "Grown Up" game i remember playing as a kid, gritty, violent, beautifully visceral. It's from an era that games companies today have forgotten, when gameplay and storytelling weren't sacirificed for flashy graphics and money. I hate what has become of the game industry.

[@Advythe]

The EA Syndicate is actually a good, underrated Cyberpunk FPS that flopped due to the roots, if only they would have changed the game's name to something else, I think it would have been received well.

@EPICLULZ123 Skrillex just took this pre-existing theme and added fart noises to it. Not saying that this is complete piss, but I think the other contributions like the one from Nero and the one you mentioned seemed like they put more effort in actually making a different tune.

For all the folks pining for memories long gone and the good old days, I'd like to point out the existence of Satellite Reign, by 5 Lives Studios. It's a remake, in all but name, and none of this modern crap. Top-down view, Four agents, a grimdark city, lots of chaos, carnage and money to enjoy. It even has several ex-Bullfrog staff working on it, not the least of which is Russel Shaw (composer of this specific music). Satellite Reign is the Syndicate remake we all hoped for :D.

they should have made a movie on the game. I know it sounds incredibly awful but hear me out. If you liked the last Dredd movie, the one that actually flopped but has quite the fan base. keep it low-ish budget, keep it violent, keep it gritty and spend special attention to the soundtrack, I think that could work. think 1977's "The Gauntlet" or in more recent years "16 Blocks".
