Remember our article about the creepy, mysterious timer just yesterday? Well, all speculation can probably end today as the Japanese publication Famitsu has confirmed that the timer is actually for the PlayStation 3 version of Siren.

Yep, you read right. We're talking about Siren, the stealth-based survival video game released on the PlayStation 2 back in 2003. According to Famitsu, the new game is actually a re-worked version of the PS2 game.

The Japanese magazine added that the game will now be known as Siren New Translation and will be released on July 24. A demo, Famitsu mentioned, will be released this coming April 24.

This is actually good news for fans of the genre especially for those who have tried the first iteration on the PlayStation 2. However, there is still no word if Sony Computer Entertainment is planning on an international release. In the meantime, keep checking back here at QJ.NET for more updates on this game.

Great

Now they're porting over PS2 games to the PS3. The PS3 doesn't need any ported over last gen games like the Wii.

not very bad

if the developers put a good graphics(PS3 standard) and a good gameplay, Siren become as good as another game for the people who didn't play the PS2 version.

lame?

I would want Mgs2 to look like Mgs4 if they actually would do it (but obviously not many developers do that).

it always depends on the title

this gamw seems fit to have a graphics makeover. you cannot use your analogies all the time. there are tons of titles that can become billion dollars hits if there is a large market behind it. say FF7, i'll be damned sure it can topple whatever the new ffxiii series can do in terms of sales if FF7 is remade in the ps3 with updated graphics. and even old school arcade games like bionic commando has been treated with a large welcome!
