PlayStation Plus Premium Leak Reveals First PS1 and PS2 Games
04/22/2022 11:02 am EDT
Syphon Filter (First Game)
Developed by Sony Bend -- the team most recently behind Days Gone -- back when it was known as Eidetic, Syphon Filter is a third-person action game with stealth elements that debuted on February 1999 via the PS1. Upon release, it garnered a 90 on Metacritic and would go on to become the origin point of one of the best stealth series of all time.
Syphon Filter 2
Syphon Filter 2 was released the following year in 2000, via the same developer and the same console, however, it only managed to garner an 81 on Metacritic at the time.
Syphon Filter: Dark Mirror
Leaving the PS1 behind, Syphon Filter: Dark Mirror is a PS2 and PSP game from the same developer. Interestingly, upon release, the PSP version garnered an 87 on Metacritic, but the PS2 version could only earn a 70.
Syphon Filter: Logan's Shadow
Syphon Filter: Logan's Shadow is the latest entry in the series, releasing in 2007 on the PSP, and then coming to PS2 three years later in 2010. Also developed by Sony Bend, it earned an 85 on Metacritic at release.
Missing Games
As you may know, there have been six total Syphon Filter games. Missing in this leak is Syphon Filter 3 and Syphon Filter: The Omega Strain. These are the third and fourth games in the series, respectively, and it's unclear why they aren't included.
What This Leak Means
Now that this has all leaked, it's possible Sony will fast-forward the announcement plans for the other PS3, PS2, PS1, and PSP games in order to avoid further leaks spoiling the surprise. Meanwhile, the contents of the leak itself are a bit worrying, as it suggests that Sony is not going the extra mile to ensure it's adding series in their entirety like you'd hope they would. Whether this means series will be completed through piecemeal releases, remains to be seen.
H/T, The Marmolade.
