Syphon Filter Trilogy

I played the first one a lot and loved it (back then).

How do 2 and 3 compare?

>>3266238
Never played 3 but I thought 2 was better than 1.

I recently went back and played 1 though and it was god awful to play. I can ignore controls that feel pretty bad usually as I usually just get into a "it's 19xx and this is how things were" mindset but it just felt AWFUL

>>3266238
>How do 2 and 3 compare?
2>1>3

>controls that feel pretty bad
There's nothing wrong with Syphon Filter controls as long as you turn the invert aim off. They are pretty intuitive and respond well.

>>3266249
lol spoiled babby

The controls are absolutely great, even with inverted aim. Stop being so bad and LEARN the controls. This used to be a thing back then, you know...

>>3266218
i played split screen multiplayer on 2 a lot with my buddies. i thought it was better than goldeneye multiplayer.

>>3266218
This was the first "stealth" game I ever played. Good times. And that harder mode cheat code.

Pandamonium BEST pvp map!

...close second hedge maze

There have been a few threads recently, and because of this I tried to play it for the first time.

I enjoyed it a bit, but didn't get far, not even past the first level. either I cant get to the Agent trapped in the building or get through the train station. In either case, the game wouldn't let me progress.

I want to get a PS2 just to play Syphon Filter 1 + 2

>tfw no other vidya lets you set an enemy on fire with a tazer

I think controls was the wrong word. I just mean it felt bad to play for me to the point I couldn't enjoy it.

2 is even better than the first one. I haven't played 3. I like the games a lot, they're a good action hame series but the stealth segments can be pretty shite at times. The first person shooting works well, and while the story isn't amazing, it's enjoyable.

The games were definitely ahead of their times. I liked how the shot locations actually mattered and the enemies with body armor encouraged to go for head or limb shots.

I still can't believe it was made by the same guys who made Bubsy 3D. Not just the same company, the same people.

>mfw I discover that

Who did the " stealth gameplay mechanic" better?

Syphon Filter 1+2 or Metal Gear Solid 1+2?

Syphon Filter's stealth was more realistic but I kinda hated how breaking stealth would almost invariably lead to a game over.

>>3266440
Had some nice match-ups in Concrete Jungle, though it got old fast.

>>3266330
I agree... it was awesome, we especially liked the prison and village stages, I remember epic strategies. The parking lot stage was fun too, very small area but fast.

>>3266430
That does it
I'm replaying it

>>3267025
I remember that mission where you shoot the gun out of the girl's hand because they needed her alive but I didn't know it could be done outside of that

>>3269021
I call bullshit on her surviving the headshot in the early mission.

>>3269025
Would it be a case of "plot armor"?

>>3266249
I don't understand this at all. Syphon Filter's controls are super smooth and responsive, the lock-on makes aiming a breeze, and even the manual aim isn't hard because it defaults to headshot height when you first aim and enemies generally stay still enough to make targeting them easy. I think everything about the game holds up great.

>>3266238
2 is basically more of what you liked about 1. Levels tend to be more linear and constrained with more scripted setpiece moments, and I like 1 better overall, but 2 is still great.

>>3266686
Syphon Filter OST is underrated. Top-notch electronic ambience. I like the park theme with those bubbling synths.

You can shoot enemy weapons, but it doesn't do anything other than alert them. Or maybe it does damage, but they definitely don't drop the guns. It's like Goldeneye like that. You can also taser Mara in that scene btw.

>>3267092
That's only in a couple levels, at least in SF1. I think the game did a really good job of giving you levels where you can get the drop on enemies with basic stealth or just run in and blast them. Rhoemer's Base is completely awesome how you can silently take down everything and complete the whole mission, but if you set off the alarm it's perfectly possible to blast your way through anyway and it changes all the enemy spawns and alert levels.

What are people's favorite and most hated levels?
My favorite would probably have to be the Streets of Moscow in SF2, and the least favorite one being the Colorado Air Force base one.

I just picked these up at the flea market this morning. I only played demo versions as a kid. I would just go around tasing people until burst into flames

I found all three very very easy. Fun games, very well done, but really easy.

>>3269575
Yeah, the games aren't particularly hard, except some of the stealth sections can be a bitch.

Shit nigger its a multidisk game?

>>3269432
Yeah, I kinda want to try out Syphon Filter 1 sometime again. Might try emulation.

>>3269681
Jesus, look at the myspace angle on this one.

SF1 was great, but 2 was a fucking beast. Never played any of the ones that came after, not even 3, in fear of being letdown.

>>3271364
More like pussy angle lmao

>>3271794
Syphon Filter 3 is okay, but much less focused. There are more playable characters and settings, but it makes the whole thing feel more fragmented.

>>3271843
>put the camera down low so it looks like I have boobs and am TAF

Fucking why, she's already quite pretty, no need to lie about her body.

In manual aim mode the taser can also shoot as far as the game can render. You can snipe from one end of the map to another with the taser, it's brilliant.

I like how the taser actually has a travel time as it flies through the air. It's also cool how it lights up walls along the way with a little blue glow. The Syphon Filter engine had some pretty cool effects for PS1--dynamic colored lighting, bullet hole decals, and that cool night vision scope effect.

>play 2
>find the hidden air taser on the first map
>rest of the game is murder everyone by burning them to death from across the map

I really enjoyed these games, but looking back they have a lot of gameplay problems, most centered on how much success relies on just repeated trial and error

that level in the park raining is one of the best levels ive ever played.

1 is best imo, 3 is shit.

Teresa is dead...

killed by Chance who has secretly been an Agency operative all along. He's completely covered in high impact Kevlar armor - even grenades won't pierce it.

But you've only got one goal now:

ELIMINATE CHANCE.

It took a lot of fucking tries to get him into the helicopter blades.

>>3271794
2's levels were pretty gimmicky in my opinion. The train level was still great. Shame how the PS2 games were trash.

>>3267020
Same engine, even. One of the devs said that Sony got 'em to do the game is because of Bubsy 3D.

>>3277483
That sounds pretty unbelievable.
