Syndicate Reboot Definitely A Shooter?

Speaking of games that are back from the dead in FPS form, here's the latest on Syndicate. It would seem improbably in the extreme that Starbreeze, the guys behind the Riddick games and The Darkness, would do anything other than a shooter, but this "Inside Starbreeze" piece at 1up seems to confirm it. This quote attributed to "a source" seems to say that the game - which is Codenamed "Project Redlime" until EA choose to reveal it - sits firmly within Starbreeze's shooter evolution heritage. There's more from Starbreeze's Johan Kristiansson following it.

"RedLime was meant to be the step up from Darkness, where we sort of took all the mistakes we did with Darkness and do them right."

That could only mean one thing.
