Nearly three years after its release on the PlayStation Portable, Sony has announced that Syphon Filter: Logan's Shadow is coming to PlayStation 2 on June 1.
The third-person action title was a solid portable game, getting some "Game of the Year" nods from outlets like IGN. The PS2 version looks to bring the same content as the original to the home console, with slight tweaks, mostly in the controls department. The game has been fit for DualShock 2 support, including the the use of the second analog stick. Visually, the game's developer says its "up-rezed textures and effects" for the PS2, as well.
No word on pricing, but it's not hard to imagine this being sent to retail as a budget release. With so many PS2s in homes, there's no doubt a few gamers starved for some "new" content. But if Sony's going to continue to release older PSP titles as console games, they might want to consider porting them to the PlayStation Network. I can't be the only one out there thinking this would made an awesome download, right?

I'm just waiting on the PS3 sequel now! That cliffhanger has been hanging for way too long!
What I think is cool about Xbox is that they've released game specific DLC that's related to story content as well as online stuff.
With most of Sonys IPs they've mostly stuck to map packs and skins. I mean how cool would it be to actually have story related DLC for Uncharted 2 or inFAMOUS?
I want the next one(following the cliffhanger) to be on ps3
lol Move is bluetooth too... you could have motion control games on the Go if your eyes were good to make out anything on the screen while you're standing far enough away to swing your arms.
The PS2 has sold 22 million over the last 3 years and still over 800K units this year alone. It still has some relevance in the market.
We bought one last year to replace a broken DVD player.
The Syphon Filter PSP games are FANTASTIC, BTW.
Buyer motivation is irrelevant. Fact of the matter is that it is still selling at $99 retail and has an enormous install base. I would imagine that this was an easy port for Bend from the PSP to the PS2. Easy money for the company and keeps the name in the news.
That being said, like everyone else I'd rather have this for the PS3.

But honestly. Sony should just make psp games playable on the ps3. All psp games are downloadable on the PSN right? So why not make it so when we purchase a game we can either download it to and play it on our psp, OR our ps3 when we're at home?
If I'm not mistaken, sony doesn't get that much money from psp hardware sales, it's all software. So it's not like doing this could potentially kill an important source of cash for them. It would in reality, create another.
