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. |
