Syphon Filter 5 is the answer to Metal Gear on the PS3

I hope they have the crazy taser like in the first game. That was awesome lol.

Talking about taser, I killed every guy with it :D . I loved Syphon Filter 2! Mental hospital scene was awesome and boss fights rocked my socks.

Number three was wicked! I tased one female and he screamed with male sound (lol)!

comparing this to a franchise like Metal Gear is a bold claim.

They shouldnt really do that. I believe this will be a great game for sure, but putting it in direct competition with MGS in the eyes of the gamers isnt the best idea.

totally agreed...they were compared because of the dynamic third person aspect and their release dates back then...but the gameplay of both was pretty different...while both where great, the only competition was that they were both fighting for attention on a platform that dominated everything else...

and its probably a given that the next Metal Gear will be multiplat...so I do agree with syphon filter possibly being a franchise to come in and take some stress away from that...but it will hardly fill any 'metal gear void' that this article points towards...while MGS4 is definitely the most similar MG game to SF (as it allows the most action based gameplay), I still don't see SF filling in any gaps there...

if anything this is just good news that Sony is most likely bringing back a strong franchise to their flagship hardware...I personally love these legacy PS franchises being resurrected on the PS3...Warhawk, the upcoming Twisted Metal, were/are welcome additions to the PS3's lineup imo...

when they say that one game is the answer to another, doesn't it normally mean that it is on another platform. The ps3 doesn't need an answer to it's own game.

Syphon Filter is a stealth-action game, just like Metal Gear so the games are homologous

but as someone has said below me... what was the question?

There isn't much stealth in Syphon Filter if I recall correctly (but I only played 1 and 2 and a looooooooooong time ago so my memory may be wrong).

I remember playing the first Syphon Filter, and I did no sneaking what so ever. I do remember the taser though, and how you could shock foes until they caught on fire. I was blown away at the time.

True.

Although for me both games are tied.

1. Metal Gear
2. Syphon Filter
2. Splinter Cell

I only played SF1...and it was very different gameplay wise from Metal Gear Solid...but MGS4 could be considered more like SF1 I guess...as MGS4 has the least amount of stealth gameplay of any of them...or rather, the least amount if you want to play it that way...

either way though...an SF remake will probably be heavy on the action side...

Splinter Cell is an excellent series and I think it is more 'stealthy' than Syphon Filter is and probably a more apt comparison.

There were no sequels on the PS2, there was just one that would be Syphon Filter 4 or The Omega Strain, the other game was ported from PSP by Buzz Monkey Software and they are bad. Yeah, I do agree with you Taser was great, buy the first two games were great not just because of the Taser. I think, that after Syphon Filter 2 it took gaming industry like five years to make another 3rd person shooter as good as that.

They both are 2 different games. The original SF was IMO as good as a game as the original MGS, But it was Easter-eggs and a far better story (thanks to fantastic characters) that made me lean towards MGS, But whilst MGS1 was followed up with fantastic sequels/prequels, SF sequels never quite reach the quality that was shown by the original one. In any case I would love to have a Syphon Filter game in my PS3 library, if only it was as good or perhaps better than the original!

Play the original Syphon Filter for PS1, that was on par with Mgs1 back then

Yeah, & Gabe looked funny when he walked, like he had a load in his diaper = lol

Still loved me some Syphon Filter, I would *love* to see a Next Gen version myself.
