Syphon Filter: Dark Mirror heading to PS2

By Tom Bramwell Published 25 June, 2007

With Logan's Shadow PSP dated.

Sony Computer Entertainment Europe has confirmed plans to publish Syphon Filter: Logan's Shadow for PSP this October.

What's more, PS2 owners will finally be able to experience Syphon Filter: Dark Mirror - the PSP-exclusive game to which Logan's Shadow is a direct sequel - with an enhanced port due out in September.

Dark Mirror sees Gabe Logan stealthing and shooting his way across 30 missions as he tries to bring down a terrorist group called Red Section, which is holding the world to ransom with a fancy new weapon.

It won praise all over on the PSP - with our own Matt Martin claiming that the only thing holding it back was a sense of familiarity as he hugged its subterfuginal hideybits to his trembling 7/10. So he's probably chuffed by the promise of improved controls and graphicsability.

In Logan's Shadow, meanwhile, our black-ops hero is dispatched again after Somali pirates capture the USS Mt. St. Helens in the Indian Ocean. Not only does he have to secure the ship's Cargo Hold 5, but he's got to deal with the possibility that his long-term partner Lian Xing is a double agent. Ho noes!

Naturally he'll be trying to get to the bottom of that, and you'll be experiencing underwater combat (spear guns!), and new blind-fire and grapple features, along with ad-hoc multiplayer as you stealth them up.

    Great news! I loved Dark Mirror, so here's hoping Logan's Shadow will be as good!

    Somethings been bugging me... has this ever been released in Europe?

  • SimonM7 #4 5 years ago

    Well, put this in your confusion pipe and smoke it: Dark Mirror - the first game - was originally also called Logan's Shadow. Therefore, some retailers have been all "wtf? we could swear this was coming out?" and have had "Logan's Shadow" listed as a TBC ever since Dark Mirror came out.

    Dark Mirror was a cracking game, another release that proves there's life in the old dog yet. I look forward to Logan's Shadow even if the names a bit poop

  • ToAks #6 5 years ago

    Logans shadow was the pre name for Dark mirror in the early days before it was renamed into dark mirror.

    While the review text was spot on, the 7/10 was a travesty, it's the benchmark smart-shooter on the system, and superior to most home console shooters too. The duck and cover shooting mechanic was excellent in single player mode, and gave a very fresh dynamic to online play, way before Gears of War was released.

    I won't even need to read a review of Logan's Shadow to know I'll be buying it.

    Cool, will be interested in both of these games. I liked the PS1 Syphon Filter games, but don't have a PSP so despite liking what I was hearing about Dark Mirror I couldn't play it.

  • SeesThroughAll #9 5 years ago

    It was good on the PSP, won't feel right on the PS2 though.

  • flapps #10 5 years ago

    Why won't Dark Mirror feel right on PS2. I'd imagine it'd feel better as you could have separate camera control on the second analogue stick. That'll be better as far as I'm concerned.

    7/10 was a travesty. The original game was frankly amazing. Being able to play such a highly polished quality product on a handheld console rather than the usual crappy ports and shitty budget shovelware was great.

    Its just a shame that so many other games fail to use the true power of the PSP.

    Another Syphon Filter would be a genuine treat. Also, can I please have another Killzone, Mr Sony?
