While fun, Psi-Ops didn’t restrict players just to throwing things around like some telepathic toddler.

Despite my last saves being from 2005 there was still a tremendous joy to be had in picking up mostly harmless grunts and filling them full of lead before pitching them down corridors where they would rag doll into their comrades. With a flick of the analog stick and a quick release of the trigger, Scryer could toss crates and soldiers around levels at will. Scryer could also use those objects as cover against enemy fire, something Jesse doesn’t seem to need to rely on in Control, as she seems to have a distinct command for forming a shield around herself using nearby rubble. It’s always irked me that the Gravity Gun seemed to get far more praise for its physics back in the day than Psi-Ops. Not only could Scryer manoeuvre objects easily through doors and around levels, but he could also stack them to provide cover or find hidden areas. This allows for far more complex motion than that of the graceless fling of the gravity gun in Half Life 2, which came out 5 months after Psi-Ops. After dying a few times I remembered that the analog triggers were pressure sensitive, with the amount of pressure controlling how high the object was lifted. Instead of aiming down sights, Nic telekinetically picks up any object (or person) he’s looking at with an unforgettable psychic hum. The real fun comes into play when you press the analog left trigger. Looking like a perma-scowling Eminem circa Marshall Mathers EP, who decided to join the military instead of taking up rapping, Scryer controls from a standard 3rd person perspective, with the left stick controlling movement, right stick controlling the aiming reticule. Stepping back into the shoes of psychic agent Nick Scryer, I had my mind wiped in order to infiltrate a psychic terrorist group known as “The Movement”. Instantly the game felt familiar, although it took me a while to realise that I wasn’t getting any tutorial advice on using my psychic powers as I’d accidentally started a new game plus. I found a game that holds up surprisingly well.

Here we go again The REAL Nick ScryerĪfter a partially successful attempt to find a copy of the game on PC ( see below), I dug deep into my own “oldest house” to dig out my original Xbox and get it working with my copy of Psi-Ops and soon found myself so engrossed I’d completed the first level before my Xbox died on me! While waiting for Control’s release on 27th August, I decided to replay Psi-Ops to whet my appetite and see if my memories of it from 15 years ago (!) were accurate or if I was just looking at it through rose-tinted nostalgia glasses.

Psi-Ops used the Havok physics engine to upgrade a 3rd person action shooter with telepathic powers and is very fondly remembered by those who played it. In the various gameplay and developer videos released by Remedy, the way Jesse plucks cabinets, vending machines and fire extinguishers out of the environment before hurling them at enemies, is incredibly reminiscent of Psi-Ops: The Mindgate Conspiracy, a PS2/original Xbox game from now-defunct Midway Games back in 2004. While she has a funky morphing gun to help her clean house, the thing that got Psi-Ops players like me excited was the way she was flinging objects around the environment WITH THE POWER OF HER MIND!! Rather than taking on the administrative duties that a role as a director would imply, Jesse has to regain control (dammit!) of the bureau’s headquarters, The Oldest House, from an invading entity known as The Hiss. From the moment that Remedy, makers of Max Payne and Quantum Break, revealed Control at E3 2018 gamers of a certain age were struck by the same thought “Hey! This looks like Psi-Ops!” “Hey! This looks like Psi-Ops!”Ĭontrol sees the player… um… control Jesse Faden, the newest director of the Federal Bureau of Control, a secretive agency tasked with handling paranormal phenomena.
