Video Gaming News - November 2003
Chicago, IL (November 13, 2003) - Midway today announced a name change
for Psi-Ops: The
Mindgate Conspiracy, an action game that features psychic powers. The game is
scheduled for release in summer 2004 on the PlayStation 2 and the Xbox.
From Midway:
Psi-Ops: The Mindgate Conspiracy is an original, action game experience that
tests the player's ultimate weapon- the mind.
"The variety of wide-ranging Psi powers used in Psi-Ops: The Mindgate Conspiracy
offers a fresh, exciting take on the action genre," said Mark Beaumont, senior
vice president - entertainment, Midway. "The game strategically integrates
Psionic powers and weapons combat, opening up creative new ways for players to
experience the game."
Formerly known as ESPionage, Psi-Ops: The Mindgate Conspiracy is set in a
near-future environment dominated by technology and order. The action-packed
gameplay is an amalgam of Psi powers and weapons combat. Players take on the
role of Nick Scryer, an elite American Psi-Operative soldier who must combat The
Movement, a fierce terrorist organization set to overthrow world order. Scryer
must fight a deadly horde of brainwashed super soldiers by using his Psionic
powers including - Telekinesis (lift and throw people and items using mental
powers), Pyrokinesis (throw walls of fire), Mind Control (take control of
another character's body) and many more. The only way for Scryer to stop The
Movement and its Psi agents is to use his psionic powers and beat them at their
own "mind game."
Psi-Ops: The Mindgate Conspiracy features a non-linear, open-ended game design,
challenging players to use different powers and tactics to complete a specific
task. During the action-packed gameplay, players will encounter enemies with
sophisticated AI, forcing them to utilize their Psionic abilities in a strategic
manner. As players proceed through the eight massive and detailed levels, they
will go head-to-head against six different bosses, each with their own specialty
Psi power. Only as Scryer's mysterious past is unveiled, including his
connection to The Movement's leader, does he begin to realize the potential of
his awakening psionic abilities.
