An unofficial Windows PC runtime for the NTSC-U 1.1 release of Syphon Filter (SCUS-94240). The project combines the original PlayStation gameplay code with a native Windows host for rendering, input, menus, audio and FMV playback.

Runtime features

• Original R3000A mission/gameplay execution with native Windows presentation.
• Complete 20-mission campaign flow, checkpoint restore and persistent mission unlock progress.
• Integrated English launcher with game-image selection, arbitrary internal resolution, aspect mode, fullscreen, MSAA, bilinear and anisotropic filtering.
• Optional Russian ViT Co. text pack for all 20 missions, menus, briefings, weapon descriptions and baked map labels, with a unified Industry Bold 2x pixel atlas matching the original Industria-style interface for Latin and Cyrillic text. Speech, music and FMV remain sourced from the selected USA v1.1 image and are never replaced.
• Remappable keyboard/mouse controls and retail-style gamepad controls.
• Native OpenAL presentation of game audio and FFmpeg-backed PS1 STR playback.
• High-resolution, perspective-correct and Z-buffered scene rendering with PGXP geometry support.
• Dynamic scene lighting layered over the authored PS1 vertex colours: intact mission lamps, fire, alternating police lights, muzzle flashes, explosions and the retail flashlight illuminate terrain, props and actors with bounded falloff and surface-aware response. Gabe, allies and enemies cast posed, light-directed shadows onto authored floors, slopes and moving lifts.
• Restored PS1-style HUD, inventory, objectives, parameters, weapons and map pages, including current-position and active-objective indicators.
• Correct scene occlusion for pickups, grenade sprites and transient effects.
• Weapon muzzle flashes for player and enemy weapons, with first-person behavior matching the current camera mode.
• Restored glass/window destruction shards and restart-safe destructible state.
• Launcher DOSSIERS gallery with four sharpened bonus pages.

What else you could wanna from Syphon Filter PC port.

A better game where the main dude doesn't run like he shit his pants

 

[freemandos]

Hmmm, maybe the game could benefit with this port...

 

[IbizaPocholo]

A Syphon Filter PC port / Syphon Filter Recomp is here and now we have ONE MORE PS1 recomp available to play! While people wait for the Symphony of the Night recomp to release for the PS1 version...have another iconic best PS1 game ever...on your PC!

Cool, I was hoping this trilogy of PS1 games would become somebody's project. It's a funny old game from that era before we "figured out" how to do 3D action, but it has some interesting solutions that I wish some developers would try out in a new game these days. Bend Studio's lock-on mechanic in particuar was balanced and in a way more like what real shootouts in the field might be like than the aiming systems used today. (I have a feeling mouse-aim in this port will just about nerf the game though.)

I'd be interested to see if it ever gets a RT mod or anything crazy like that (which would be cool since it's stealth and lights can be shot out here, although its a case where you have to be careful what you wish for because all the old effects are painted and bound to be wildly inaccurate if you try to replace with realtime methods.)

I always thought it was odd that his running animation is so bad/weird but his forward roll animation is actually quite good for a PS1 game.

One of my dearest memories of my childhood. Loved this game back in the day. I hope they do this to the entire trilogy

I actually grew to kind of like the run style; it's animated to account for the unbalanced weight of the heavy pack and the unusual differences in gait between one-handed and two-handed weapons. (I never compared it specifically, but I would get the bottom half of the character is always in the same general walk/run cycles while the top half switches between jogging and hip-firing or dusting off pistol shots and slinging a rifle and whatever else Gabe does?) Efficient and accurate for the character needs on mixed terrain, even if it can look a bit silly sometimes.
