Will there ever be a Psi Ops 2?

if anyone remembers this game it was one of those rare gems that never gets old and i still play it to this day.. it had EVERYTHING, free roaming, fun combat system, excellent controls, huge replay value, great sound effects, and intriquing story.. at the end it left off with a *to be continued* type ending leading me to beleave a sequel would be right around the corner but i was sadly mistaken.. i naturally figured they're probally waiting to put the sequel on the next gen systems, afterall looking at what they did with star wars tfu which generally had the same combat mechanic *force throw=telekineses* it would be best on the new consoles anyway.. obviously it never happened, this could have been such a great series of games, why do ya think they scrapped this ingenious idea???

This games ranks as one of my favorite of all time. It is a real shame that it wasn't that successful (I don't know anything about sales numbers, but I remember it got just okay numbers and wasn't really talked about after it launched). I would really love for there to be a sequel, but don't think it is in the cards. The original was made by Midway, which doesn't exist anymore and I'm just not sure it was popular enough to be picked up by anyone else.

yea the psi ops game was great, second sight was another good game with a similar premise

when u think about the core mechanics of the game, it had so much potential.. thats why it just blows my mind that this idea wasn't continued or atleast copied, star wars came close but u still couldn't tk toss people around like in psi ops, on star wars tfu u got one toss and that was it, but on psi ops u could lock on to an enemy then toss him all over the place in an almost endless succesion *completely endless if u were using codebreaker with an infinite psi meter* this sh!t use to be so much fun and was utterly hillarious to watch! also u could go back through each level with all psi abilities using any skin on the game, this alone took the replay value thru the roof.. its just sad that they let one of the greatest idea's ever in gaming slip away.. :(

No there won't be. It's one of my favorite games and one of the few action-shooters I hold dear to me and it's a sad thing that there won't be.

Basically Midway ripped the story from someone, and that said someone sued them over it. After that Midway went bankrupt and closed. Basically the stuido that made it no longer exists, and the rights for the game are lost due to the lawsuit.

Very interesting. Hadn't heard about this. A quick wiki search (provided this info is correct) actually says that Midway won that case and didn't have to pay the dude anything.

That doesn't make me think a sequel is anymore likely, despite how much I would love it. The guy above me is right that no game has replicated the fantastic levatation physics in this. Star Wars TFU tried and failed. I don't care if it is completely unrelated, we NEED something that controls exactly like this for the current gen hardware.

Yeah they won, but eventually they did go bankrupt and closed in 2009 due to poor sales for their games. It's kinda sad to be honest, they had some nice games and Psi-Ops was their best.

there definately needs to be a game that uses this type of combat system, or atleast try to duplicate it.. lucas arts probally could have if they wanted but i see why they didn't.. watching a jedi or sith repetedly force slam someone over and over viciously might not seem very star wars like.. lol

I wish there would be a PSI ops 2, that game was amazing and I played it a ton. I actually own 2 copies of it :P

One of my favorite games of All time! I'd love to see a follow up!
