Psi-Ops: The Mindgate Conspiracy

[GordonTS]

I'd just like to begin with this; this game is extremely underrated and Midway had a lawsuit filed from a spanish game company for similarities between two games..they had won later on. This game was never really popular but deserved to be, so i'd like to spread it around.

Psi-Ops: The Mindgate Conspiracy is a video game developed by Midway Games for the Xbox, PlayStation 2 and Microsoft Windows PC platforms. It was also being developed for the Nintendo GameCube titled ESPionage but later cancelled. The game was released in North America on June 14, 2004; the European release followed on October 1, 2004. On June 9, 2008, the full version was offered as a free download hosted by fileplanet with in-game advertising, but also allowing to purchase the game in order to remove the advertising. A FilePlanet subscription is required to receive the game.

A traditional shooter in many respects, Psi-Ops banks on its ragdoll physics (by way of Havok 2.0) and variety of psychic powers to differentiate itself. In Japan and Southeast Asia/East Asia, the game was marketed by Capcom as Psi-Ops: Psychic Operation. In the game, the player is Nick Scryer, a "PSI-Operative" whose mind has been wiped to allow him to infiltrate a terrorist organization. However, he is captured and must fight his way out with the help of Sara, a double agent. As he progresses, he regains his PSI powers.

A free ad-supported freeware version has been released on FilePlanet.

[B][U]Story[/U][/B]
When the story begins, Nick Scryer has no memory of who he is, his mind having been wiped in order to infiltrate a terrorist organization known as The Movement. After being imprisoned, the player is released by Sara and given a drug to regain his memory and lost abilities. It begins with the game's most prominent power, telekinesis, and moves from there.

Nick also faces off against a plethora of former PSI-Operatives, all of whom have defected with the general that formerly led the PSI-Ops project. Each is specialized in a certain field of psychic ability (the first boss, for example, is an expert in mind control) and far more powerful in that field than Nick. Nick defeats them one by one; usually through creative combinations of his weaker but more varied psychic abilities.

[B][U]Lawsuit[/U][/B]
On 20 February 2007, William L. Crawford III filed a copyright infringement suit against Midway. The complaint stated that Crawford had written a screenplay title "Psi-Ops" sharing a similar premise and other similarities with the game including some of the characters and their psychic abilities, and that Midway wrongfully misappropriated and exploited Crawford's work without his permission. Midway has stated that they do not comment on legal matters. In December 2008, the United States District Court for the Central District of California issued a ruling granting summary judgment on all counts in Midway's favor, having found no evidence
of copyright infringement. (Case No. 2:07-cv-00967-FMC-JCx (docket entry No. 175))

[Woes]

Amazingly fun game.

[blazingfly]

Saw this in the 'free games' thread, was gonna download it, but the mirror was ultra slow and it was a 2gb file.

[Chill]

I remember playing this. It was really cool, now when I think about it, it lacked some MP. Also, TK and gnome challenges...

And those fucking psi-monsters...

[D3vils Buddy]

This game was brilliant, real shame it was never popular.

The arcade style games you could play were really fun. I loved playing Mind Pool or trying to escape by setting shit on fire.

Link to the freeware.

[RichardGoldwitz]

Awesome game!
Brings back a lot of memories.

[SupaBastad]

Pretty damn badass. Shame there wont be a sequel, imagine the possibilities with current tech.

[MountainWatcher]

This game taught me that I could fly with telekinesis.

[CaMpEr_GuRL]

Windows 7 64 Bit doesn't run this game, i still have it for the Original Xbox so it's not like i can't play it anyway.

Best game i've played with Telekinesis, second best being Second Sight.

[b]FUCK[/b]

[Canesfan]

I never played Psi-Ops but I remember Second Sight being awesome.

[Codemaster85]

One of my favorite games

ending says "to be continued"

there was never a sequel.

[Watevaman]

Supposedly doesn't work on Vista and it isn't compatible with my PS3 model.

I missed out. :(

[DoctorSalt]

I remember playing this, though I got stuck at the part where there is a circular collider room thing, with energy passing through.

The funniest part of the game is the "Coop" mode, where one player controls movement and the other controls the powers of Nick. Hardest shit ever :]

[The_Marine]

This was probably fun with a controller but it's just awkward to play with a mouse and keyboard.

[CaMpEr_GuRL]

[QUOTE=Hellborg 65;29375574][b]FUCK[/b][/QUOTE]

Makes you wish you had the regular 32 Bit version doesn't it?

[Nautsabes]

It was awesome taking control of someones mind and then making them shoot themselves in the head.

[Stizzles]

I think I saw a cheap used version of this for PS2 at Gamestop, should I buy it?

[RichardGoldwitz]

Yes.

It's one small disadvantage in a sea of advantages.

Yes indeedio sir! It'll keep you occupied for a long time. At least it did for me for about 2 years.

[magicman1234]

I played this when gametap was still cool and had a pimping interface. When it was free for a little bit. :smith:

[Archibald]

This game is so rare now... there must be very few copies still around.

[myalt22]

[QUOTE=Archibald;29381376]This game is so rare now... there must be very few copies still around.[/QUOTE]

It's all over the goddamn place. Assuming you can't find a used copy for ps2/xbox, you can just torrent it. Can't exactly steal freeware.

[editline]23rd April 2011[/editline]

Also, as much as I love free radical, this was miles better than second sight.

Poppin peoples heads like zits, awww yeah.

[Hellborg 65]

I wish there was a damn fix for Win7 64bit

I had both. I prefer the story and characters from Second Sight but Psi-ops had more replay factor.

[Del91]

I remember renting this on PS2. I wish I had bought it but I don't recall ever seeing it anywhere except rental stores. :frown:

[SupaBastad]

[QUOTE=Del91;29387460]I remember renting this on PS2. I wish I had bought it but I don't recall ever seeing it anywhere except rental stores. :frown:[/QUOTE]

I rented it 3 times before buying :smith:
