If you’ve been playing — or trying to play the game but failing due to its controls — you know how big of a deal this is, which is why all the other replies are equally rejoicing.
“Dude, I saw this update hit but had no idea what the update was. I was hoping they added that because it was unplayable with face button aiming,” writes another PlayStation fan of the news over on the PS5 Reddit page. “This is a must have for all of these PSP conversions.”
“This is great. I tried playing the original Syphon Filter again when they made it available on PS4 a while ago, but it would never save my control settings for having un-inverted aiming which annoyed me more than the fairly antiquated aim system it already had (no second stick support of course). I should have just bought Dark Mirror,” adds a third Reddit user.
For those out of the loop completely, Syphon Filter: Dark Mirror is a 2006 PSP game from developer Bend Studio, best known in the present for Days Gone. The fifth installment in the Syphon Filter series and a sequel to 2004’s Syphon Filter: The Omega Strain, Syphon Filter: Dark Mirror was brought to PS4 and PS5 on March 21 alongside its addition to the PS Plus Premum library. And with this update, it plays much more like a modern game rather than a 2006 PSP game simply ported over to modern hardware without much thought.
