Second Sight Sighted News

TimeSplitters creators, Free Radical, today lifted the lid on its forthcoming Xbox, PS2, GameCube title â??Second Sightâ??.

Described as:

â??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).â?

Players take the role of John Vattic, a man who awakes from a coma to find himself in a sinister US military facility, where he has been subjected to traumatic surgery and experimentation.

With his mind and body broken, Vattic canâ??t remember his past, knowing only that the only hope of 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."

The Press Release issued from Free Radical made no mention of a publisher, however Activision was suggested when the first rumours appeared on the title late last year.

Weâ??ll have a closer look at â??Second Sightâ?? soon.
