I bought it on Xbox 360 marketplace forever ago, and at some point, it disappeared from my games list and local drive. When I tried to re-download it, it no longer showed up in my purchases. This was a few years ago and before Xbox Live shut down for the 360, and all my other digital purchases were available, just not Syndicate.
Fast forward to now, and I can’t find the game available anywhere (Gog and Steam at least).
I remember it having an all-star cast (Brian Cox and Rosario Dawson, specifically) and some really cool game mechanics and story.
Did that game just get memory-holed? Wikipedia says it was banned in Australia, but that doesn’t apply to me.
Edit: There are used copies I can buy on eBay for the 360 (mine somehow still works) but I was looking to buy a PC version for longevity/future proofing since I like to revisit old games every so often and my 360 is already on borrowed time.
You can softmod the 360 now using the BadUpdate exploit, using it through ABadAvatar makes it pretty much seemless, I would highly recommend checking it out. I’ve had four different 360 disc drives die on my across a range of different hardware revisions, they’re wildly unreliable!
Ooh, nice. I wasn’t aware there were softmods available for the 360 yet. I avoided modding it at all because I played a lot on XB Live and didn’t want to get it banned but since that’s shutdown, I may revisit the mod scene. Glad to know there’s a softmod. I did the MechAssault one on my OG Xbox and it opened up all kinds of doors.
