New Syndicate trailer reveals super-guns galore

EA and Starbreeze have released a new Syndicate trailer, demonstrating the diversity and effectiveness of the game's near-future weaponry.

A first-person shooter set in a world run by huge cybernetics corporations, Starbreeze's latest packs 19 weapons with 87 attachments and 25 upgrades.

Highlights include the electron mace, which fries enemies right through their riot shields, the Swarm cluster rocket launcher, a rifle that fires homing bullets, and a seriously meaty shotgun. Some weapons have alternate fire options.

Take a look at our last preview for more on Syndicate, or check out this 11 minute Syndicate gameplay video.

Matt and I entertain different views on EA's rebooting of the series as an FPS. For a comprehensive run-down of why Matt is wrong and I am right, look for the new Hot Topic section in issue 80. There's also a co-op preview in the latest mag.

You can buy on iTunes for the painfully reasonable sum of £3.99.
