NOTTINGHAM, UK -- 24 February 2004 -- Free Radical Design, developer of the highly successful and critically acclaimed TimeSplitters series announces their latest game, Second Sight.

Combining an immersive thriller storyline with paranormal psychic abilities, stealthy exploration and intense shooter action "Second Sight" redefines the standards for action adventure narrative and gameplay (for PlayStation2, Xbox and Gamecube).

"like he's ever getting out - he's a psycho killer."

John Vattic awakens from a coma in a sinister US medical facility where he has been subjected to traumatic surgery and experimentation.

His body and mind are broken, he doesn't know his name, he can't remember his past, all he knows is that his only hope for survival is to escape and unravel the mystery that has led to his imprisonment.

Finding fragments of the past reveals his previous involvement in a covert military mission investigating psychic research in Siberia...

... A mission that went horribly wrong.

... A mission that empowered him with awesome psychic abilities which can devastate the people and world around him.

Haunted by flashbacks, tormented by his powers and gripped by the fear that he may have been somehow to blame for what happened in Siberia, John Vattic begins searching for survivors from the failed expedition and uncovers a fatal chain of events leading to a sinister conspiracy and sickening abuse of power.

David Doak, Director of Free Radical, says "Second Sight realises our ambitions to create exciting fresh IP and innovate in a new genre. It brings together great gameplay and a compelling story - everyone at Free Radical is really excited about this one."

Steve Ellis, Director of Free Radical, says "Second Sight marks an important step in the expansion of Free Radical. The company has grown to two talented teams, developing two great original products. We've come a long way in 5 years."

Development of Second Sight will be completed shortly, with an anticipated worldwide release later in 2004.

Sounds intriguing. Wonder if Geist's thunder will be nicked by this.

I love press releases

Good looking screenies, seems the same art team who did TS2 are doing the design of it.

Ugh...

No doubt it'll be brilliant. :unsure:

.::: So...

What is it you actually do in the game? Or is that prone to 'losing it's freshness' once exposed as well?

you shoot people in the face. the twist is that you have to do it while battling against an anachronistic and poorly-calibrated control system which mocks you at every turn.

*shudders*

Why does the lead have to be experimented on and suffer from amnesia. What is wrong with a good old fashioned wanting saving the world plot?

Sprite Machine · February 24, 2004

I swear I've heard of this game before... repeatedly. Amnesia and special powers, you say? Government conspiracies and elements of stealth? Wikkid.

.::: Maybe it's XIII II?

*dies laughing of imagening customers trying to pronounce that title*

"Trezz Derr", I suppose.

Or... Fifteen. :unsure:

.::: Truth to be told most people call FFX-2 'Final Fantasy Twelve'. XIII got prononuced as 'xi~', 'ex why why why' or 'X Three' even...

Set your mind loose on XIII II now.

Roman Numerals should be taught in School

"Rocky II + Rocky V = Rocky VII!"

Sounds entertaining, but hardly groundbreaking.

The whole amneasia thing is very boring as a storyline though.

Adrian's Revenge!!

They were taught in my school.

Up to X that is. Although I think there's only C and M after that. (And whatever it is that represents 500, if anything)

L, I think. (could be bollocks)

emjay2kay · February 24, 2004

"Bollocks" is too many letters.

:unsure:

I'm here all week.

I'm still waiting to hear what Zoonami are working on.

February 25, 2004

From whats benn described so far it's not so original...

roadkill · February 25, 2004

I'm somewhat disappointed by those screenshots.

Their character design in Timesplitters was far better. This looks like just another Metal Gear Solid a-like.

Danster · February 25, 2004

M is a thousaand...

Why you get those programs (older programs) on the BBC that have a

MCMXV..... copyright thingy at the bottom of the screen.....

Arse to it...

M.M.S · February 25, 2004

I'm still waiting to hear what Zoonami are working on.

my thoughts exactly.

Ebisumaru · February 25, 2004

Ellis and Doak just love Siberia it appears....

Sng · February 25, 2004

Is second sight the ability to see into the future or the ability to see something that others can't/shouldn't see? Like, a tumour in someones head, just by looking at their head or whatever.

Caleb Newcastle · February 25, 2004

It's Whiplash meets Shadowman meets Headhunter meets Operation Winback.

Now if only I could get someone to buy my "Unconventional cop teams up with Ninja Rabbi" concept...

They are, my 7 yr old knows XIII is called 13 and its F'all to do with me. His mosaic skills are also top notch
