Forums - Sony - I want a Syphon Filter PS3!

I was just playing my new Syphon Filter PS Classic, and I noticed something. Old games suck. Seriously.

-You can stand right next to an enemy, and he won't hit you with his bullet. Unless he has a shotgun. They hit about one in ten times.

-You are just as accurate while running around as standing still

-The graphics are an eyesore.

-Especially the faces. Flat nose? Wtf?

-Everything is really dark.

-There are hardly any weapons

-The inventory system sucks. Trying to change weapon is difficult when three people are shooting at you. That's where the first point comes in handy. And the second.

-No camera control. In a shooter.

-There's no stealth! You can run around and pistol everybody!

-No cover system, barring the odd crouch thingy.

-No difficulty levels (and thus, no difficulty)

-Lack of save points. You won't get killed by enemies, but fire somehow kills you if you so much as come near it, and then you have to repeat the previous 20 boring, easy minutes. Without catching fire.

-You can't move while aiming.

-You can't aim while moving.

-The controls have tons of lag.

-The animations are robotic- you have no control over how far you walk.

-The default controls suck.

The odd thing is, I remember thinking this game was awesome, back in the day. And I still think Dark Mirror and Logan's Shadow are awesome. I thought the original Syphon Filter was like the PSP ones, but with worse graphics and more buttons!

I want a new Syphon Filter, with modern technology, high definition, and an Eidetic (Sony Bend) that doesn't suck!

Anyone who thinks gaming hasn't improved vastly in the last 10 years is crazy.

SO do I!! I grew up playing Syphon Filter on my mates PS1.



 

Syphon Filter 2 was a gem.

Tasering people until they were nothing but a spasming charred corspe was always good for a laugh.

They don't make weapons like those anymore.



 

Bring back the Air Taser. Loved the range on that thing. Also...the guy's sideways running always reminded me what we would look like if we dislocated our pelvis.

Damn you just reminded me of the taser, can't remember the last time a game I played had a taste in it ...

Same here - The PS1 Spyro games were great!

I think they it will be announced or it is in the early stages of development. There was some rumor earlier this year about it.

As for Syphon Filter, I will have to say the PSP versions are great and basically improves on every flaw the OP listed above. Both Dark Mirror and Logan's Shadow are expectional games that make the PSP shine.
