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?
