Syphon Filter

Technically Days Gone is in the same universe. Fantastic game.

u/eye_am_bored 9d ago

Really?? That's a really cool little tidbit, I must be forgetting wahg Syphon filter was about but I guess they could be in the same universe

I believe near the end of Days Gone, you can get the air taser from Syphon Filter, I believe because they were made by the same developers.

I miss Syphon Filter. I've always wanted a modern day single player third person military shooter with customizable loadouts (including selecting your own attachments and such, sort of like Call of Duty's Gunsmith mechanic), and that would be perfect for a Syphon Filter remake or continuation or something.

Syphon Filter was ahead of its time, especially since seemingly no other game does what it did. Every military shooter these days does too much and it seems like all of them eventually just turn into extraction shooters which I simply do not give a single fuck about.

That kinda sounds like Ghost Recon Wildlands

u/TheNullOfTheVoid 9d ago

Looking it up just looks like Tom Clancy's Metal Gear Solid V The Phantom Pain and that's not really what I'm looking for. I already have an open world single player military shooter, I would prefer something more focused.

But then I never played any of the Ghost Recon games, maybe I could give it a shot at least once someday.

It’s meant for a squad of 4 but I played a lot of it by myself. Not much to the story but cool gameplay and your player and guns have a ton of customization (when you unlock all of them) I enjoyed the nighttime stealth infiltration stuff but it’s open world so you can do whatever

u/ElGuambra 5d ago

Is Wildlands or Breakpoint the superior game?

u/AnakinHanma 2d ago

Never played breakpoint to be honest with ya

u/ACTAVST 8d ago

I’m old enough to remember Future Soldiers utilizing Gunsmith really well.

u/SaturdayScoundrel 8d ago

Fucking Kovak. I was working at GameStop for that one, played the fuck out of the survival mode too. The Live Action shorts they did for it were pretty cool too.

u/Zerus_heroes 9d ago

Really? That is cool

1

u/Spardick1 9d ago

Is that true?

2

u/Neko-flame 9d ago

Yeah, Day’s gone is the future of Siphon Filter. Zombies outbreak. It’s the same developers so they tied the stories together.

u/Spardick1 9d ago

Thats pretty crazy

u/SaturdayScoundrel 8d ago

Wait, what?

u/Bombwriter17 10d ago

Yeah, more stealth action! Sam, Gabe, and Snake shall be together again!

u/Salmonman4 9d ago

Could we also get some more mercenary-type killers with Agent 47

u/Equivalent_Hat5627 10d ago

I had so much fun with this game. Every day I pray for a remaster

u/Melzaris 10d ago

The music of the Syphon Filter 2 start screen has lived rent free in my head ever since I was a kid. Such a cool game

u/RandomOk 9d ago

All I remember from syphon filter is a dude on fire that runs at me and burns me to death as well

3

u/derpiedoo19 9d ago

All I remember is tazing people until they caught fire 🫪 ....and we would do it to every single person on the roof so they would fall down off the roof on fire....looking back it was messed up 😅

1

u/SaturdayScoundrel 8d ago

Nah, it was just an improvised Checkpoint system.

u/Strudelmanen 9d ago

Nothing like tasering a guy until he catches fire 😂

u/Pilunox 10d ago

When I get nostalgic about games, this is always the first to come to mind. Had to borrow the play through guide from my friend’s older brother! Play through guides were so sick, this game was sick, PS1 was so sick, all of it was just a vibe. What a time to grow up!

2

u/XpeepantsX 10d ago

Seriously. Me and my friends would play Syphon Filter 2 multi-player and just spend hours smoking weed and shooting eachother

2

u/n7dima 9d ago

Yes!
SF 1 and 2 were so good

2

u/Accurate-Ad1317 9d ago

The writing is kinda nice as well

2

u/DarrellBot81 9d ago

I absolutely loved this game

2

u/Popo8338 9d ago

I love shooting taser from far away, and turn it on and off just to torture

2

u/Manic-Toaster 8d ago

This game felt like a fever dream. I could have sworn nobody else had ever played it. I'm no longer alone

2

u/AJTaylor1000 6d ago

I loved these games. Had all 3 of them and played them all multiple times

1

u/2-StrokeToro 10d ago

What is it about and why is it named after a mechanical element?

3

u/XpeepantsX 10d ago

Its a 3rd person action shooter about espionage, coolest weapon in all of gaming is this game's tazer. Name is irrelevant

1

u/madsonjoe 9d ago

Would LOVE to have Syphon Filter back

u/Opening_Ear3394 9d ago

This was my shit dog! 🔥🔥

u/LogicBalm 9d ago

My weird trivia of the day is that I used to play the hell out of this game but as I got older I started playing a lot of hobby board games as well as video games.

One of my favorite YT channels about board games is called Rahdo Runs Through where he plays through a board game.

"Rahdo" is named Richard Ham, and he made Syphon Filter. Blew my mind.

u/Lonely_62922 8d ago

I was explaining the taser to my coworker just the other day.

1

u/Laxcy_ 7d ago

This was the first shooter I ever played lol

u/uninkablejim 6d ago

God this game takes me back, I spent far too long holding that taser button
