Syphon Filter 4 to be Sony's big secret?

Robert1986 · 30 Jul 2008 at 23:33

Who remembers Syphon Filter? It was a mix between Metal Gear Solid and Splinter Cell and damn good one at that. There hasn't been a proper Syphon Filter game on a console since 2001. Its been keeping the PSP alive for a few years now though, PSP game of the year in 2006 (Dark Mirror).

I think Sony may well be working on a new Syphon Filter game for the PS3. I hope they are anyway. Syphon Fitler needs a next gen make over. Who is with me?

p.s. You can buy all the PS1 Syphon Filter games on PSN.

Syphon Filter 1 - 1999

IGN ranked Syphon Filter #19 on their list of the "Top 25 Games of All Time" for the first PlayStation console. [1]

* GameSpot: 9.0
* IGN: 9.5
* Electronic Gaming Monthly: 7.62 out of 10
* Official PlayStation Magazine: 4 out of 5

Syphon Filter 19th best game of all time? Seriously? I remember playing the demo and thinking it sucked absolute monkey balls.

This game was and is ace, air tasering people to death until the burst into flames?! brilliant! Groin grabbingly good if you ask me. Be good to see this on PS3 or any platform

Syphon Filter: The Omega Strain was out in 2004 for PS2.

Yes I would love another game on PS3, but only if the controls got a complete make over since they have aged horribly by todays standards.

Syphon Filter (1) absolutely rocked! I couldn't get away with the sequels though.

It's going to have a tough time living up to Hitman, Splinter Cell and of course, Metal Gear Solid though.

i remember playing the demo over and over again, it was brilliant

id love to see a new version of the game on the PS3

First one was good, but the sequels didn't exactly set the world alight.

The first one was amazing! Im seriously keen on a PS3 version!

Same. The PS3 needs one really with Hitman not being on it (and being brilliant) and Splinter Cell being probably the worst of all ports (shame as it's great).
I'm hoping they take all the best elements of the 3 big stealth games and really give us something special.

I would rather Sony bring us a re-make of Fade to Black though.

The first one was brilliant, but the others suck. So I'm not sure if I'd be exited about another one.

Would a new SF game really make a big impact? Wouldn't be much of a secret worth keeping IMO. As others have said the first game was great, but the rest of the series suffered badly.

Margaret · 31 Jul 2008 at 08:34

Didn't even think SF was a very popular series, the first was the only decent game.

I forgot all about Spyhon Filter.

Syphon Filter and MGS were my favourite games in the days of Ps1/Ps2.

The last one i played was Syphon Filter for the PS2, and i enjoyed playing the single player mode, however i was really disappointed in the multiplayer as i could never find anyone online to play with. Must have only had a few games online, had about 3 friends online

Cant wait to see a new one out on the PS3.

Nanoman · 31 Jul 2008 at 10:59

Syphon Filter was hugely popular back when it was first released, it got a lot of press along side Metal Gear Solid as iirc they were released really close to one another and were compared a lot. It was one of my most memorable PS1 games Id love to see a PS3 remake, although now-a-days a lot would have to be changed.

NokkonWud · 31 Jul 2008 at 10:59

Even more than games like Fade to Black Pyroboy?
Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed SF(1) but even then it paled to Fade to Black and Metal Gear Solid 1.

I was talking about the PS1 the other day and the sheer number of classics on it was immense.
I thought about picking up another one and Olympic Soccer again.

Olympic Soccer sucked ass, at least I though it did

Syphon Filter was awesome. Loved it.

Why get a PS1? You can use your PS3 and your PSP for remote play.

Shame on you and your family. Any game with commentry from Alan Davies makes it instant classic.

My best memory was my mate scoring from a back heel on the half way line. we both thought PS went nuts for about 1sec
