New Second Sight Video
Find out what the power of your mind is capable of in a brand new video demonstrating the amazing psychic powers in Second Sight, the exciting new stealth action adventure game from Free Radical Design. Guns are for the weak. Thanks to an incredibly realistic freeform physics engine, players will be able to make the hero of Second Sight, John Vattic, 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. Of course, 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! Or, for a spot 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, using the last of Vattic’s psi powers, you can even heal yourself if the plan goes completely pear shaped. That’s handy. Second Sight will ship this September for PlayStation 2, Xbox and Nintendo GameCube. Download hereSource: http://www.codemasters.com
