Psi Ops is one of Midway's best titles, and even that isn't enough for them to green light a sequel to the game. Meanwhile other great games like The Suffering and Area 51 both received follow ups, Psi Ops is left in the ruins of a now collapsed empire of Midway.
Let's take some time to remember this game for all the greatness it had to offer.

Video got copyright claimed on 5 seconds of a The Who song @ 18:48. I made a cheesy joke and did the "Yeahhhhh" part of the song, like the intro to a CSI Miami episode. So, it will be muted so I can make a few pennies on the video. If that part is just trash now, I apologize.

@MProductionsGAMING Год назад

Until I read your comment, I honestly thought that part was intentionally silent to emphasize the joke being unfunny, like the puns she makes throughout the game. Guess I have a awkward sense of humor lol. Nice video btw. My only experience with this game was playing a demo of it on PS2 years back when I was a kid, so I appreciate your vid for bringing back some old memories and showing me what I missed out on all those years ago.

I am solely responsible for at least 10 copies of that game being purchased for the PS2 at Walmart, I found it when I was in like 5th or 6th grade, bought it and fell in love with the psychic powers and the story. After that I let several of my friends borrow it, at least 6 of them, for a day or two and I think all but 1 bought their own copies and one of them got 3 copies of it because his dad wanted a copy and so did his big brother. It was revolutionary to have telekinesis at that level back then IMO, and the idea of being a psychic secret agent absolutely blew my mind as a child, 10/10 memories

@contrabandresearch8409 Год назад

This is the one game I wish had a sequel. Imagine if they had amped up the mind powers and made some new ones that could really change the way you could play.

@FragileBitch Год назад

The memory I had with this game is vivid at best. But one that stuck in my mind the most is the intro CGIs. The soldier got his arm blown off but still kept running toward hail of bullet. I know it just a CGis and not the gameplay itself. But this scene pick my interest and set the tone of the game for me back then. Shame there are probably no more on this game since that stupid lawsuit and Midway's demise.

@dabluntz19 Год назад

You have no idea how happy I am you made a video on Psi-Ops. I feel like for the longest time I’ve recommended it to people and no one I know has ever played it. Imo it is the quintessential example of a hidden gem. By no means was it a perfect game but man was it fun and it had a super cheesy but decent story to it. It had some amazing bosses with and characters powers were bad ass. I truly hope that some day we will see a remake or maybe a sequel. In the mean time I’ll make do with Control unfortunately it has no head popping :(. Videos like this are why I love your channel.

@Mankey619 Год назад

Psi-Ops is one unique third person shooters that no one ever talks about,and it’s a midway game. Don’t know why’s forgotten here. The telekinetic abilities were amazing in this one,so does any other powers we get. It’s a combination of both shooting and using psionic powers.

The fact that this never got a sequel is one of the greatest tragedies in the history of video games. I LOVED this game (and relayed Cold's music video over and over again from the Playstation CD as it wasn't available online at the time). I really loved this concept and wanted a sequel so bad. Hopefully someone someday will create a modern day game with this theme and current engines to deliver a stunningly beautiful and enjoyable experience of tossing people around like rag dolls :)

@Gruntvc Год назад

Awesome game, well, those invisible one hit kill enemies and some of the bosses suck, but overall a great game. I miss the attention to detail and over the top physics games like this had. I'm honestly baffled Psi Ops The Mindgate Conspiracy didn't sell well. It deserved a next gen sequel. Dang shame it and Midway are gone now.

@Jaffa5 Год назад

How could you not mention this game totaly unique co-op mode where player one controles the body and the second player controled the powers. Or the fact that it had it's own rock/metal song by the band Cold. song is With my mind - Cold and the video for the song has loads of footage from the game.

If you're into the lesser known videogames, I highly suggest checking out Binary Domain for the xbox360. Its a cover based shooter by the folks behind the Yakuza games and is pretty great. You're shooting robots in futuristic Japan but you can shoot their limbs off as well as chunks from their bodies so it's way more fun than you'd expect. The main story is genuinely enjoyable and the characters quirky and interesting.

One of my absolute favorite moments in the game is a pretty innocuous one seen at 2:50. In the level, you're SUPPOSED to run across the bridge walkway and take the elevator up to the next floor, rinse and repeat. Well... I felt like doing things differently, so I used the telekinesis to levitate myself up and up, bypassing the need for the elevator entirely. Sure it took forever, but the fact that it could be done was a marvel in and of itself. Games that let you think outside the box are the most fun.
