Psi Ops is such an underrated gem! I played it years later and absolutely enjoyed it. Fun Fact: the devs of Mortal Kombat also helped work on this game, and the creator of Mortal Kombat, Ed Boon, provided voice work on the game. You can also unlock a Scorpion skin for Nick in the game. I wish the game got a sequel
I saw the band Cold at a concert once (They did the theme for this game) and I mentioned it to the vocalist (Scooter Ward) and he actually told me that he literally begged them to make a sequel cause he agreed to do a song for the game because he loved the idea of the game, but even he had no luck convincing them to make a sequel lol
I low key love how Barret has a completely different haircut during every single flashback but otherwise they don't look like that much time has passed in between them. It's so goofy, I love it. I really badly wanted to play this game and Second Sight when I was a kid but never got around to it for one reason or another, might have to check them out now, they still look really fun.
@@hp.7337 even though the court sided with Midway. Also a sequel and a movie was planned. They didn't do the sequel because of poor sales of the first one, which somebody said was because of Midways poor promotion. Not sure why the movie didn't happen but it may have been the same reason just the game not selling way so they figured they'd lose money trying to make a movie.
The Zeno Clash games had some fun ragdolling in their animations too. (first-person brawlers in an absurd prehistoric monster world). Can very strongly and warmly recommend the prequel Clash: Artifacts of Chaos which came out last year. Different perspective and gameplay this time is a bit more in the vein of God Hand, but still good beat-em-up with a fair bit of depth.
I spent way too much time in the tutorial/sandbox facing off against waves of ever increasingly difficult enemies. Game needs a remaster and a follow up. Specially with Cold back making the OST
When I see Evan on my screen I always say "Hey, it's that Evan guy!" Then I proceed to have a good chuckle, maybe a laugh even. One thing is for certain though. I am enjoying and tapping my fingertips together like I'm plotting some devilish scheme.
Barret kinda looks similar to Kingpin because of his big size and well dressed suit. I'm digging this telekinetic type games like Second Sight and Timesplitters. Great video as always, king and looking forward to your next nostalgic game.💜
Fun fact: you can unlock a Barrett skin when you beat the game on a certain difficulty and if you go back to his boss fight, you can actually use telekinesis on the train cars.
Fun fact, toward the latter half of the game you start to encounter power resistant men in armor that you can't mind control well if you place a sneak shot to the the enemies head then line up the reticle right on the vertical slit opening in the helmet you can then cast mind control and it will succeed
You have been killing it making videos about some of my favorite pre teen games. I commented a while back talking about your dark watch video, and how it helped me finally explain a childhood game to my wife. You got a life long fan at this point. Keep doing what youre doing, its great!
How does this channel not have like a million subs, I swear the dry humor is just right, like a biscuit from Popeyes but a large sweet tea to wash it down with.
I've said it before and I'll keep saying it! Bro you don't miss you seem to be nailing every videogame from my childhood that I've poured so much love into. The quality of your videos is top tier as always!
I remember I rented this and Second Sight from Hollywood Video, (the southwest PA version of Blockbuster,) and I telekinesised one guy and his head got caught in the ceiling! That’s all I remember about these two! 😂
I was gonna say something clever about how good your one liners are, but then I seen small soldiers on the screen and my brain kinda shut fown for a second.
Man, your combo of writing and editing is something quite special. Nice to see you still at it and hopefully having fun while doing so. Has Kya: Dark Lineage ever been recommended? I'd love to see a video of that game on your channel. One of my personal favourites.
There may be some "wordplay" with the main character's name, with "scrying" being a word for certain traditions of divination and peering into time. Very clever, developers!
I remember playing this game back when it came out. I just couldnt remember if I actually beat it. Going back through it with you though brought back memories of the various areas and abilities though so I think I did xD
It's WRONG we got a cliff hanger and no sequel. I loved this game alot. Sure I was a kid but the game was legit asl. A 360 era sequel would have been a major win. And easier to pull off
Hey man, just watched your SpongeBob Movie game video and came to watch this one immediately. I'm sorry to glaze but I HAD to see if the rest of your content was as peak as that video and brother I was not disappointed. You're consistently on tempo humor combined with the perfectly comedic editing? Instant subscribe and I'm looking forward to being a long time supporter! (like a krispy kreme in her I know)
Well thats a whole memory lane. The things I remember most about this game are always the odd running animation, the unique and super jank yet hilarious co-op, and the fact that in gameplay Nick is holding all his firearms with his right hand BUT THE CUTSCENES CLEARLY SHOW HIM AS A LEFTY!!! *cough* Also there was a pretty good music video that came on the disk.
23:29 For those that are wondering, that is a reference to The Smothers Brothers. One of their most famous bits was "Mom Always Liked You Best". You can probably find it here on UA-cam
One of my all time fav games i played for the ps2 when i was young. physics were awesome story was suitable sandbox room was were too many hours were lost
Second sight is also same as this game but little different in the mechanics and the graphics but powers are mostly same but second sight has clean graphics like that and psi ops enemies and boss fights are on another level totally innovative and the environment is really good damn both are good tho FYI second sight is an vannila of these two by the overall both story and gameplay as compared to psi ops, as it has more of an gritty and dark tone
I put so many hours into this as a lad! Shit, the new G-Unit album had just come out and I was chucking people into each other with telekinesis. I used to make the game freeze by throwing a canonball into those floating lobster things. Great upload!
Really great game and honestly ahead of its time. The ragdoll effects, dismemberment, powers, and environmental destruction really blew my mind as a kid playing this on the PS2
This game is terribly underrated. It was some of the most fun I had on the PS2 and this band also introduced me to what would become one of my favorite bands; Cold. I also remember when Second Sight came out and my friend and I would argue over which one was better. I was Psi-Ops all the way and he was a Second Sight fan. We decided to do a swap and we ended up loving the games we vouched for equally. Man, those were some great times.
20 years I have been waiting for a sequel. Not like for obvious reasons. But the mystery around the "conspiracy" and the corrupt groups and the whole psychics and alien machine just send my mind thinking the possibilities. Talk about a franchise with limitless potential. Fantastic game. It's one of my all-time favourites even if it ends with a mighty cliffhanger. Would love to pick up where it left off and continue into the psychic fray.
Now its me who is late to commenting, I was away on waycation, anyways love the video as always, and I greatly appreciate the constant time splitter sounds and references, it really is my all time favorite game, I wish I could play through it again
I remember playing a demo disc with this and Riddick Escape from Butcher Bay. That was one of the best demo discs I ever played. Spent so much time chucking dudes around with TK. Bought both games shortly after that.

Man why can't Psi ops, Area 51, & the Suffering games just be re added to digital storefronts, I have them on ps2 but i just wanna re play them on current gen systems dammit lol. I rewatch your videos pretty frequently tbh, or put em on in the background. I also find it funny me n you are like the same age i turned 27 in September. Idk i just enjoy your videos, your scripts, & the way you construct your content. Well done man. Each is well made.
When using Mind Control, there’s a hidden input that makes your victim blow his own head off with his gun. I think you have to click and hold both analog sticks.
This era was just so good and in glad you’re keeping it alive. When studios were encouraged to make and develop new IP’s and take creative risks and not just make Call of Duty over and over and over again…
Oh I've played this game a lot when I was young. IIRC when you're mind controlling someone, if you press and hold R3+L3 you can make them off themselves

@ that is amazing! I want Cold to put the song on Spotify
@starweb9127 that's why I use YT music haha. They don't have the rights to the song so they can't stream it
Those TimeSplitters sound effects never get old.
I don’t know where i’d be without em tbh

it's those little details that make your videos special, dawg
It’s such a simple little detail but so cool, thankyou man!
They left us on a cliff hanger.

I'm 60 now; I played this when it 1st came out. This was a GOOD game. They should remake(&upgrade) it.
I'm forty, I was 20 when this came out, and I FREAKING LOVED IT😂 you got any good advice for me for my next 20 years? Its an honest question
This game is definitely a blast from the past! Glad you were finally able to play this game! Keep up the great work man!😊
Had a great time with it, thankyou man!
Bro we have the same childhood games,every single one you played brings back so much nostalgia,thank you❤
That’s what i’m here for brotha, thankYOU
Great game. I really liked the ragdoll and physics in that game. Had to choose between Second Sight and that game. Didn't regret it.
Both are so good in their own ways, but the physics in this one is def top tier
The Zeno Clash games had some fun ragdolling in their animations too. (first-person brawlers in an absurd prehistoric monster world).
Can very strongly and warmly recommend the prequel Clash: Artifacts of Chaos which came out last year. Different perspective and gameplay this time is a bit more in the vein of God Hand, but still good beat-em-up with a fair bit of depth.
6:41 peak segment right here
binging these vids are healing me, my skin is clear and crops watered. I still have 3 more vids to go and I can't wait, what a delight to mine senses
I remember feeling like a genius hopping on a box and realizing I could still lift said box with powers

The sandbox feature was so fun dude, i'm so bummed you can't buy this game in the PS store.
Yessssssssss! Welcome back broooother!
Glad to be back brother Sushi!
When I see Evan on my screen I always say "Hey, it's that Evan guy!"
Then I proceed to have a good chuckle, maybe a laugh even.
One thing is for certain though. I am enjoying and tapping my fingertips together like I'm plotting some devilish scheme.
I read that like an inner monologue and audibly laughed. Thankyou for that
The day just gets that much better when I see a new post.
The day gets better when I see ur pfp in here :)
Nostalgia hit. Great content Evan!
Thankyou my dude!
Just like Second Sight, one of my favs. Our Childhood Games were awesome ngl :D
You just solved the 15 year old mystery of whatever game that i saw at that garage sale was. Bless
Cold - with my mind, will always be an amazing song
Barret kinda looks similar to Kingpin because of his big size and well dressed suit. I'm digging this telekinetic type games like Second Sight and Timesplitters. Great video as always, king and looking forward to your next nostalgic game.💜
I originally had that as a joke bc he really does lol. I appreciate u as always brother, thankyou ❤️
Fun fact: you can unlock a Barrett skin when you beat the game on a certain difficulty and if you go back to his boss fight, you can actually use telekinesis on the train cars.
Didn't know will try when I can
The legend has returned! Great to see a new video bless my feed my brethren 🙌

good to see your channel growing man, keep it up!

Evan sound effects game is still unmatched.
Oh yeah. Quite possible the best PS2 game about telekinetic powers.
I like Second Sight’s story but this gameplay is 🔥
Agreed
I've said it before and I'll keep saying it! Bro you don't miss you seem to be nailing every videogame from my childhood that I've poured so much love into. The quality of your videos is top tier as always!
Anyone remember a game cube game called: Geist?
It's like a different chapter of the same book
Sounds like somethin I should check out 👀
@@EvanHelblingYT Please do, it's an amazing game.
Honestly yes this reminds me of it 100%
Glad to see you back young man, this game brings me back
Been waiting for this brother
Hope it was worth it!
You are seriously amazing at these story recaps!! Absolutely loved the Hot and Ready double punch.
I remember I rented this and Second Sight from Hollywood Video, (the southwest PA version of Blockbuster,) and I telekinesised one guy and his head got caught in the ceiling! That’s all I remember about these two! 😂
The ragdoll physics are so good in both of em haha. (And shoutout from northwestern PA)
Got damn Hollywood video that’s how I played most of these games as a wee lad 😂
