I hate that everything has to be FPS these days. Despite being FPS fan since Wolfenstein3D (when I managed to run Doom on my PC for the first time I even did that "hyperactive American teen" thing).
Syndicate was isometric tactical action. Why can't we have games like this today? I'm not following the news, so please point me to titles which play just as Jagged Alliance or X-Com, but use modern graphics. It is possible. Have you seen the demo for real Fallout 3 (I mean Van Buren) ? It perfectly blended 3D environment and rotating isometric camera view.
Isometric doesn't mean the game had to be backwarded technically. If you've added destroyable level geometry (think "Red Faction") and good particle effects it would look great on screenies and sell well too.
...unless they all want to brainwash us into console crowd?
