It didn't take long for Rucka to figure out that there was a lot of potential in the Syphon Filter franchise: it just needed to take advantage of the story elements introduced from the previous games. "Coming off of Dark Mirror and the stuff that had happened to the character there, I know of was stunned to be like 'Why aren't you using any of this stuff you set up?' I mean, he now has a kid! He knows that he's a dad! There's all this fabulous character stuff here. So, we discussed that and sort of tried to find a way to use the relationships that really have been building throughout this series and turn them into good story ... that's what we got here."
The story puts into serious question the loyalties of those around him. Although Rucka doesn't want to give anything away, it seems that he wants players to stay on the edge of their seats for yet another Syphon Filter beyond the next installment: "We got, I think, a good, good story for Gabe and I think at the end -- I don't want to give anything away -- it's got a nice ending. It's got the kind of ending that I think -- hopefully -- people will be like 'Where's the next one?'"

I loved the demo and really can't wait for this - mindless shooters and WWII / terrorist missions are fine, but a nice story-based shooter always hooks me more!

I didnt know where to put this comment or who to contact so Im just gonna put it here. Im subscribed to your feed via google reader, and everyday, I get the same feeds at least 3 times. This is really irritating as I dont wanna read the same news 3 times a day. I use feeds mostly for my career, so this feed is a nice break but its becoming a dealbreaker, is it me, or is it your feed, if it is, could you please fix it!

Ha! Appropriately funny, he complains that he gets the same news feeds three times in a row, then posts the same comment twice in a row....
As for the game, I played the demo and I am really disappointed it stopped where it did. I wanted to keep playing! Guess it did it's job because I'll be buying it when it comes out.

Hmm...I finished Dark Mirror. Correct me if I'm wrong here but I believe they said the kid was not Gabe's. So...this does not bode well for the story of Logan's Shadow. Oh well, I'll definitely play it anyway.

I am not sure if you played Dark Mirror or not boomdizzle but if you did you would have seen that after the end credits that Logan does have a kid.
As for this new game it looks really cool and I hope it will be one great game. I also hope there will be a new Syphon Filter game that come out after this one and it be for the PS3.
