Boy here is a game I have had zero thoughts about in a long time as it slipped of my radar. I haven't been following much since then but back some time ago I was pretty pumped about this sorta Mass Effect'ish RPG. :D

What are your thoughts theses days on the game; for those who have been following closely all this time ?

Good to know the game is finally shipping June 1st in N.A.

And just generally, who's buying and for what system ?

The Story.

------


Alpha Protocol hitting NA this June photo

It appears as if Alpha Protocol will indeed hit this century. The publisher and studio tandem, SEGA and Obsidian, have confirmed to IGNthat the title will drop this summer on June 1st after several publicized delays and one notorious ninja pull that left more than a few GameStopshoppers staring blindly at a clerk with empty hands.

Barring another delay, Europeans and Australians will be able to pick up the title several days before North Americans: May 28th and May 27th respectively. Neat, right?

Few more pics just for the heck of it. :P

Tehe, yeah that would be some spicing up SW controversy if it actually happened. :)

Depending how you look at MotB they kinda have (well in terms of the underlying game that is). Sweet looks on May for me, god I hope this is actually playable on release, polish, performance & bug-fixing aren't Obsidians strong point.

Smart idea moving it back really. Extra dev time, plus it misses a lot of the larger releases. Smart move ...

I'll probably get it for Xbox first, then PC later down the road.

Those pictures don't do the game justice. It looked much better on the video and I can say I'm mildly interested in it from the trailer. I also never realize just how much of a Poor man's Bioware, Obsidian really was. It seems like every game that Bioware built and made awesome, Obsidian was then brought in to copy for cheaper. Bioware made KOTOR. Obsidian made KOTOR 2. Bioware made NWN. Obsidian made NWN 2. Bioware made Mass Effect 1/2. Obsidian made Alpha Protocol.

I was so pissed this was pushed back, but maybe they've been polishing it to perfection. I think it could be great... probably Obsidain's best game to date. I'm totally going stealthy in this one.

I think this could be the best game delay in recent years. Hoping the developers truly did make the delay to make the game an epic game. I was bummed at first but it the long delay was for good reason and works out then it's all good. Can't wait.

Looks awesome. Graphics don't look as good as they did this time around last year, but if the game is more polished and less buggy, sign me up :)

I think the trailer visuals look real good and like a few other posters said: This dev follows up Bioware games and to me, they do a pretty sweet job of that though... KOTOR 2 just missed the mark for me in a fairly big way though me again.. now.. I'm back to being pumped on this game which seems be one of those games the casual may pass on.

I'm pulling for Obsidian and with the delays giving em extra time, this could be one of the biggest sleeper WRPG's ever.. Fingers crossed. :P

If by poor mans bioware, you mean independent with about a quarter of the budget that Bioware gets to work with nowadays, than Yeah... Obsidian is made up of ex Black Isle employees... (If i remember correctly, a few of the founders were leads on the fallout series, icewind dale and Planescape: Torment) The only thing seperating these guys from bioware is budgets. Black Isle in my opinion was always a better developer and I think it shows in their (obsidians) pieces... granted this is just opinion, but KOTOR 2 and NWN 2 are in most cases superior to Biowares originals.
