Uncharted + Mass Effect + Fallout = Alpha Protocol

Obsidian and Sega are teaming up to bring espionage to the RPG with the visually gorgeous release of Alpha Protocol. Gameplayer has just gone live with an extensive look at what gamers can expect from the title. It includes quotes from the developer.

"Alpha Protocol promises to merge the pulsating action of games like Uncharted: Drake's Fortune with the deep, considered and player-defined character development of Mass Effect. As far as bringing together hot ideas, Obsidian could hardly have suggested two better points of comparison to get people salivating. However, this experienced developer is not simply walking in the footsteps of BioWare again."

Got to keep my eye on this one.

sunnygrg6497d ago

Here's to hoping Sega scores a hit, a sleeper hit.

IanTH6496d ago

That's quite a pedigree they have there. If they can cull the best parts from each game, make them strong/polished, integrate them all seamlessly while innovating slightly as to not have a case of the "feels to same-y" then they would have a massive success on their hands. Tall order? Yes, but all the greatest games are. I will be keeping an eye on this one too.

ShinMaster6497d ago

Since Naughty Dog announced that they'll continue the Uncharted franchise, here's hoping for an official Uncharted 2 announcement.

SlappingOysters6497d ago

Althogh Sony are being bloody quiet in the lead-up to E3

Maybe Liepzig for them.

Cynical-Gamerzus6496d ago

Whoa slow down there SEGA!!
Those are big ass names to compare to SEGA! and last time I checked Shenmue was the only thing that could blow away those games mentioned earlier!!!
So if you guys have 20-30 mill to spend on the next Shenmue by all means do so!!
I miss my old Sega..
But we need Ryu with Ninja skillz!!!
HE trains and becomes a ninja as well as kung fu expert and gets some fire power!!!

SlappingOysters6497d ago

Not only the way the gameplay sounds like playing out, but the screenshots look the good too.

tiropitas6497d ago

All the games the want to emulate is favorites of mine so this looks like a must have.

MK_Red6497d ago

I don't care about game. It's Obsidian, with the ex-Black Isle people so, their game IS on my most anticipated list no matter what it is.

Cool game though I hope it's less Uncharted and more Fallout. So far, the dialogue system and its depth seems really good.

Superfragilistic6497d ago

Yeah I've been watching this for a while now. Odsidian have chosen a theme that's rarely been used if ever in the RPG world and they've stripped back the stats to a more real time based levelling system. It's clear they're out to prove a point. EDGE did a great preview on it a while back and it looks fantastic.

MK_Red6497d ago

Good point about the theme. As for EDGE's preview, I gotta find it. I hate EDGE's reviews but their previews are spot on.

Superfragilistic6496d ago

Here you go:

There are others, particulary one from about three months back that spurred my interest but can't find it. :(

EDGE's is by far the best I've read recently though. It's nice to see Obsidian stepping up to the plate with their very own and very orignal IP.

MK_Red6496d ago

Thanks for the link and help. Bubbles for you my fried. Cool read.

Agreed on Obsidian. Finally making a game based on an original IP of its own. No NWN3 or KOTOR3. It's Obsidian's own personal game and world this time. Can't wait.

One of the few 7th gen game that I'll full heartedly support for a remake.
Its a very unique RPG and deserves its faults fixed the 2nd time.

TheNamelessOne657d ago

I would be so for this. Alpha Protocol is the definition of a diamond in the rough. Before being acquired by Microsoft, Obsidian presented their ideas for a sequel, multiple times, but were always shot down. Even something simple like a remaster is very unlikely.

ZeekQuattro657d ago

Still have a physical copy for my PS3. Clunky at times but I had a lot of fun with it back in the day.

TheColbertinator657d ago

Had some issues but that game was brilliant.

I just started playing Spec op. I've had it for years on steam and forgot about it. Such a good game.

EvertonFC783d ago (Edited 783d ago )

Fantastic game,.so underated

Cacabunga783d ago

Yes great game spec ops! Since the time we’ve been asking sony to make one:/

Auto Modelista.. a PS2 capcom racer!! A blast to play and great graphics!
Maximo!
Rival Schools!

LordoftheCritics783d ago

Spec Ops: The Line was super dark.

Incredible story.

SheenuTheLegend782d ago

all the games in the above list are bang on. this is the only reason we need backwards compatibility and physical presense of games for the upcoming future, no matter what.

Yi-Long783d ago

Honorable mention to the excellent Driveclub, one of the best racing games of all-time and one of my favourite games ever.

melons783d ago

yes! incredible rain effects; so good to drive along in rain with your Spotify playlist blaring

Skuletor783d ago

I really wanted a MotorStorm using the same engine, Driveclub is easily one of the best looking games on PS4 and I'm surprised they didn't even give it a PS4 Pro patch.

ravens52782d ago

Yes indeed. May just install it on my PS5. You know, physical copy and all.

monkey602782d ago

I adored Driveclub and the Bike expansion. I also loved Motorstorm. Evolution shutting down was a crime

Outrun Online Arcade, Sega Rally Online Arcade, After Burner Climax... all good stuff. I keep my 360 hooked up to play these as well as the TMNT games that were also delisted.

Skuletor783d ago

I have quite a few of these. Timed licenses suck.

Terry_B783d ago (Edited 783d ago )

wow...I have all of them except the Nintendo ones either in physical or digital version.

Also..Deadpool the Game is missing on that list.
