Psi-Ops: The Mindgate Conspiracy

Remember ragdoll physics? As we entered the sixth console generation, ragdoll physics were becoming all the rage in the gaming world. Developers were starting to get how to make 3D games, grinding their teeth in the last gen, and as physics evolved and changed, it was all but certain that game companies would go wild with the newest toys. Ragdoll physics were especially popular in action games, allowing wild and dynamic animation of bodies not possible before. Granted, it looked terrible and hilarious in motion, but at the time, this was ground breaking. Eventually, people tried making games that took full advantage of ragdoll physics beyond just letting bodies flail around wildly (though that was still there). One of those games was Psi-Ops: The Mindgate Conspiracy, a Midway developed game released 2004 that tried to be an action game with a psychic twist. This became one of those games at the time that tried to weaponize ragdoll physics, the other major one being Free Radical's Second Sight, released just three months later. And yes, that game was also about psychic powers. But the similarities end there, as Second Sight was a rather grim game with a heavy focus on stealth, while Psi-Ops' has this theme and this Japanese box art. Psi-Ops is as video game as video games can possibly get.

Love letter to psi ops

Have you ever heard of Psi Ops The Mindgate Conspiracy. It is an old game that came out in PS2. The game is basically about super power. You play as a soldier called Nick and as you go though the game you unlock more powers. At the beginning you will unlock telekenisis. This allows you to move object and enemies with your mind. But then you unlock mind drain, remote viewing, aura viewing and pyrokenisis. A unique game indeed. This game also had a really serious tone and storyline which made it more realistic. Unfortunetly this game didn’t get much exposure or didn’t sold enough because there is no sequel, even after all this years there is no sequel. Recently there was a similar game that got released called Control. But that game just didn’t do anything for me. I still think about psi ops to this day because that game was just soo ahead of its time, the game mechanic itself was soo amazing. And sadly i can never play it again because i no longer have a PS2. I want them to re release this game to current gen console or steam or remaster it or something. One thing i will always do is keep the hope alive. The hope that one day, in 10 years or 50 years, but one day somebody will release the sequel to this amazing game. Until then i will keep listening to the song With My Mind by COLD.

Here is a little demo of the telekinesis mechanic for my new game. I'm trying to make a game with mechanics inspired by games like psi-ops and second sight. The player will be abducted and experimented on, then have to make their way to freedom.

Of all the conspiracy theories ever, the mindgate conspiracy wins.
