Alpha Protocol - June 1st 2010 - New Trailer

[Atreides]

im calling the 6/1 release date will only happen as long as Obsidian doesn't realize/think that something else is coming out that day.

Anyway I just replayed Kotor 2 recently, and I'm looking forward to this.

Haha this has nothing to do with Obsidian. Obsidian wanted the game out 6 months ago

So did Sega rape the game with the changes?

[Qalbert]

yeah they added in like 20 retarded friends for Thorton

Sega is just the publisher. They foot the bill, do the marketing and handle distribution.

They can offer suggestions to the development process (it's their money) but overall all the development comes from Obsidian.

Allthe business decisions, ad campaigns and release date changes are from SEGA.

So that gives you guys more time to polish it and such, I guess? That's kind of a plus, I think. Will there be support for the game once it's out? For example, I buy my games for PC for better graphics, but with PC versions of the game, there are often times lots of bugs. It won't be one of things where it's like, "Hey here's a new game with a ton of bugs but we're not fixing it"

Also along the line of PC questions, is there a noticeable difference b/w 360/PC?

[Shojin]

Here's a Q.

How is the PS3 version of the game? Another lazy port or on par/better than 360 version? I would just like to know which console to buy it on if I like the look of it.

Game opens with you being a part of a plane crash and figuring out the circumstances of it, while shooting your way out of your situation.

"Would you kindly infiltrate the terrorist camp?"

Obsidian has a very awesome PS3 guy who did a good job making sure the PS3 game was running great. We also had dedicated QA so the PS3 version should work just fine.

So wait, why was it delayed then? The PR I remember reading was Sega slamming the game and wanting severe changes. Did the dev team just finish polishing the game or were significant changes made after the delay?

(I ask because all the previews looked fantastic as-is way back when. )

Obsidian's Feargus Urquhart has come forward to speak on the delay. "We're very happy that Sega has made the decision to hold back the shipment of the game in order to give it the best chance at becoming the publishing success that we at Obsidian and our partners at Sega are striving for," Urquhart told CVG.

and

Sega Europe managing director Alan Pritchard, the first person at Sega to officially acknowledge the Alpha Protocol release date change, added, "By pushing Alpha Protocol to Spring 2010, we can ensure that the game will be released in the best commercial release window possible and will also receive the focus this true AAA title deserves."

[ZarakiKujata]

Is Obsidian or Sega paying you to plug this game or something?

[Qalbert]

think he said he works there or something

If you've got ANY kind of input at all, please suggest they re-do the box art to drop the surtitle.

And make the SEGA logo really really small on the PS3 version.
