Because games played in the first person perspective are marketable. By the way, seeing all these ranting, by your logic, the Thief games are FPSes too? All we saw is that it is developed by a company whose two games were shooters, and that the premise is akin to Deus Ex: Human Revolution. Which by the way is an awesome game. Yes, it is not a tactical shooter shown from birds eye view, but who knows, they might deliver. Make it gritty, make it feel like Syndicate. It's not like other games didn't have spinoffs, especially X-Com, which is what everyone is whining about. It had a space sim, a 3rd person action game, and a scrapped FPS. It's not fair to condemn a project just because it's not like "that other game bearing the same name 18 years ago". The gaming industry is not like it was during the 90ies, and things changed. Let's just sit tight and see what they whip up, there will be enough time to throw around blame and turd when it comes out and bombs.
