WorthPlaying Preview - 'Alpha Protocol'

WorthPlaying writes: "Alpha Protocol, to be published by SEGA, is the developer Obsidian Entertainment's first fully original concept to hit the games market, but the talented team of RPG creators are hardly neophytes to the industry. For years, they've been the skilled second string to RPG legend BioWare Corp., developer of the PC new-classic Neverwinter Nights, and, equally destined for contemporary classic status, the blowout Xbox role-playing title Star Wars: Knights Of The Old Republic, arguably the first game to certify that RPGs on a PC scale could truly succeed with console audiences - certainly, it was the first RPG deviating from traditional medieval period or surrealistic fantasy themes to break out in a big way on a modern console. Obsidian was responsible for the well-received sequels to both Neverwinter Nights on PC and Knights Of The Old Republic, successfully hurdling the hand-me-down-property blues through keen talent both technical and creative."

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.

TheNamelessOne596d 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.

ZeekQuattro596d 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.

TheColbertinator596d ago

Had some issues but that game was brilliant.

Cacabunga722d ago

LordoftheCritics722d ago

Spec Ops: The Line was super dark.

Incredible story.

SheenuTheLegend721d 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-Long722d ago

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

melons722d ago

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

Skuletor722d 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.

ravens52721d ago

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

monkey602721d 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.

Skuletor722d ago

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

Terry_B721d ago (Edited 721d 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.
