See the Future with Second Sight - New In-Game Videos now Available

New York (August 19, 2004) – With episodic levels split between the past and the present, see what the future holds for Second Sight with the latest in-game videos now available from www.codemasters.com/secondsight.  The new stealth action thriller from TimeSplitters creators Free Radical Design, Second Sight will be available September 21 on the PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system, the XboxÒ videogame system from Microsoft and the Nintendo GameCube entertainment system.
 
Delivering a gripping playing experience, Second Sight combines an atmospheric narrative with paranormal psychic abilities, stealth exploration and intense shooter action.
 
Players lead John Vattic, a former researcher, as he attempts to unravel a mystery that led to his imprisonment in a maximum security Medical Research Facility. As he makes his escape, Vattic discovers that he is empowered with amazing psionic abilities, capable of manipulating people and the surrounding environment. Providing a totally fresh dynamic, gameplay offers multiple approaches to completing levels either via stealth, dramatic gunplay, paranormal powers or a combination of all three.

The videos, which can be downloaded from the site or viewed on Codemasters’ new online Video Box (www.codemasters.com/videobox), include trailers focusing on combat and Vattic’s psychic powers. For a bit of immediate paranormal action, there’s a “psychic shooter” e-toy to download!
 
Second Sight has already won acclaim for being one of the most original and engaging games of the year, and gamers can check out Vattic’s psychic powers in full effect when it’s published by Codemasters on September 21.
