The SIREN project started in the autumn months of the new 21st century. I was very fortunate to have been surrounded by a very talented team of people on my team. Together with Game Director Keiichiro Toyama, Scenario Writer Naoko Sato, and Art Director Isao Takahashi, I sat down to discuss concepts. We then extended the discussions to excellent creators both internally and externally for a collaborative production effort.
SIREN is an incredible DOOM total conversion mod that draws inspiration from Aliens and F.E.A.R., set in a habitation facility filled with monsters.
The all new PS Plus is here and it has an absolute gem of horror game waiting for you.
PS Plus now offers three membership tiers: Essential, Extra, and Premium. The latter comes with all the perks you could ask for, and is the priciest of the bunch. One of these benefits is cloud streaming access to a whole horde of OG PlayStation, PS2, PS3, PS4, and PSP games.
Nestled amongst the PS2 titles is Siren. Or Forbidden Siren, depending on which region you're in. Released in 2003, some of you will definitely have slept on this one. Because you were either napping in a crib somewhere, or lining up at the spermatozoa starting line. But now's your chance to catch up with the rest of us, for less than $20 a month.
Personally I didn’t like it all that much. Not a bad game just wasn’t for me.
I’m with you there. It was borderline unplayable due to the controls. Try the remake. It fixes everything about the original thank god.
100%
Siren is the type of game I desperately want to enjoy - the gameplay just isn't fun, the game isn't scary, and the puzzles aren't challenging in a cool Silent Hill way, they're just esoteric as hell. I think the idea behind it is ingenious, it just needs better hardware to get off the ground.
Me either. Siren is my kind of game and I bought Blood Curse when it came out on PS3. I absolutely hated it.
I managed to sell it for a nice price when it became rare and some started to see it as a collectors item though.
"One of the best PS2 games"..? I don't even recall this one, but if it has similarities to Silent Hill I'd definitely check it out
It was very good and had a silent hill feeling to it. Did you never play Siren Blood Curse on the PS3?
No - another one I completely missed although googling it now and it definitely looks pretty cool
It's no coincidence. The director of Siren is the director of the first Silent Hill
The chick that wrote this article got a bunch of things wrong. And yeah both games have been on ps now for sometime.
Not to mention the countless other things she gets wrong. Kind of a weird read.
Played both games and think they are okay at best .
Get ready for some insanity.
What is the horror series already on PSN? It has a handful of episodes... I thought that was Siren.
I wish ps+ came with free ps2 games too. Some of the psn games they give us suck. I'd love to give Siren a try.
I semi-enjoyed PS3 Siren episodes..although it didn't engage me like The Walking Dead Season 1 game.
Maybe give this a look when it becomes PS Plus $0.00
*Edit
I really can't justify paying for all these PS2 games individually when B.C. should have been universal to all PS3's (thanks Sony!) and the fact that Gaikai will host these PS2 games this year as a stream2play delivery.....
Jus sayin :0)
