I guess we got our Syphon Filter sequel after all...
"Gamesradar points out the various Easter Eggs that more or less confirm Days Gone takes place in the same world as Syphon Filter. Read at your own risk as there may be things in there considered spoilers. Towards the end of the article they point out some things that are pretty much a developer signature that this game takes place in the same world. In other words, Gabe Logan and the IPCA's mission to protect the world ultimately failed. Days Gone isn't simply the start of a new franchise. It is a soft reboot and continuation of Syphon Filter."

Gabe, no! You failed us!
I guess the syphon filter virus created the freakers? I don't want to read the article because of spoilers, but that's pretty cool, if they really connected the two stories like that.
I read you can actually get Gabe's taser back somehow. Not sure if it's functional, after all these years.
