Daniel Johnson @ Gamasutra: "The greatest challenge in writing a column on the relationship between video games and culture is being familiar with the cultural norms and practices of communities from around the world, and then being able to draw on this information at will.
Within my own sphere of cultural knowledge, I'm personally well acquainted with Australian and Chinese culture, less so the rest of the world. Given my familiarity on the topic, it's only fitting that I take a squiz at a game that features an Aussie bloke.
PSP spy-thriller Syphon Filter: Logan's Shadow is a title from a franchise rich in ethnic stereotypes (Somalians are pirates, Russians are evil, Americans are the saviours of the world)-- but oddly enough, many cross-ethnic partnerships too (an American-Chinese lead duo, making friends with the Russians)."

Syphon Filter could be one of the games that could make its way to the PlayStation Plus Premium subscription as they were recently rated in Korea.
Just make a new one already. I know they aren't interested. But damn. Syphon Filter was a great franchise.
Only ever played the first two, which were great. I hope they do remakes and it’s not just the old games we will get.
Sean @ FG: Days Gone? Death Stranding? Soul Calibur VI? Here’s what we expect to see/not see during the PSX 2017 showcase event.
Are they even having an event conference? I can't find anywhere where it claims there is a live-stream conference. Can anyone clarify please.
No 1 & 7 for me. Can't wait to see how dreams has turned out (and I know it will have some VR functionality too) and would love to catch up with Kratos.
Here's hoping for a good show
I’m totally stoked at the possibility of TLoU2 gameplay. It’s my most anticipated title, and I can’t wait to see it in action.

Man, I LOVE Logan's Shadow. It's such an amazing game, and really manages to capture the feeling of the first two Syphon Filters while successfully adopting modern shooter and stealth gameplay conventions. The objectives are more diverse than most shooters I can think of.. I REALLY hope they make a Syphon Filter PS3. I know there was a rumor that Bend is doing it with the Killzone engine, and if it's true, I think I'll sh!t my pants with joy.
