New York, NY (July 15, 2004) - Codemasters has released a new trailer
for Second Sight.
From Codemasters:
After awakening from a coma in a U.S. medical facility, main character John
Vattic discovers he has been endowed with incredible psychic abilities. Join him
as he uses his new psychic powers to uncover a fatal chain of events leading to
the sinister conspiracy that landed him in the hands of the researchers.
Thanks to an incredibly realistic freeform physics engine, players will be able
to make the hero of Second Sight pull off some extraordinary moves. Levitate an
unconscious guard, use telekinesis to send him flying across the room, knocking
down everything – or everybody – in his path.
It doesn’t stop at telekinesis. Vattic’s Psi Pulse ability will send a ball of
psychic energy hurtling towards your enemies, and Psi Blast (the grown-up
version of Psi Pulse) will unleash a terrific “smart bomb”-style screen-clearing
wave of energy in one fell swoop.
But success in Second Sight requires as much brains as brawn. You’re not going
to get too far just wading in with your size 12 boots in a “run and gun”
approach. Second Sight is far smarter than that.
Vattic has a few subtler psi weapons at his disposal. Projection, for example,
allows him to project an ethereal version of himself ahead, which makes him
invisible to enemies. Better still, combine this bad boy skill with one of
Vattic’s other unique abilities, Possession, and you can walk up to a guard
unseen and then take control of his body. Open gates, trip security switches and
activate machinery to force the villains to do the hard work for you!
For a bit of serious sneakiness, use a bit of Vattic Charm: make the bad guys
believe you’re just a figment of their overactive imaginations and sneak past
unseen. And when Vattic’s mind tricks go awry, he can even use his Healing
ability to rejuvenate his health.
Combining an atmospheric, psychological thriller narrative with stealthy
exploration and intense shooter action, Second Sight also features:
Rich dual time narrative allows you to explore the past and present: actions you
take in the past affect events in the future
Mind-blowing psionic abilities include Psi-Blast, Telekinesis, Projection and
Charm
Powerful weapons supplement your psi powers including handguns, tranquilizers
and machine guns
Open ended gameplay blends stealth action, fighting and shooting, allowing
multiple ways to complete objectives
Explore an intense suspense filled adventure as you unravel the mystery and
reveal the terrifying truth behind your powers and your past
Powerful rag doll and full interactive environment physics bring the Second
Sight world to life
Locations span the globe: the tundra of Siberia, streets of New York, a Vermont
Asylum and more
An incredible sci-fi psionic thriller developed by the creators of TimeSplitters
Second Sight will be released this September for the PlayStation 2 computer
entertainment system, the Xbox videogame system from Microsoft and the Nintendo
GameCube entertainment system. Check out all of Vattic’s psi powers by getting
