SEGA Explains Alpha Protocol Delay, "AAA Potential"

GCO: "Alpha Protocol is a contender, non the less. However, with such heavy holiday competition, it needs the cutting edge tools to impressive potential buyers; seeing that it's a freshmen in the presents of senors. With that said, SEGA has revealed that Alpha Protocol has stepped back into the shadows, and that it won't release this year."

Segata Sanshiro knows that the reason behind Alpha Protocol's delay is because it is afraid of poor sales due to all the major releases this year.

rdgneoz36055d ago

Yep, too many major releases coming out. I guess it'll be AAA material when it comes out without any competition.

DK_Kithuni_716054d ago

That's when blockbusters like God of War III and Gran Turismo 5 will be out. Good luck competing with that, SEGA. You will sure as hell need it.

Serial_EDX6054d ago (Edited 6054d ago )

DK you have to remember those are both ps3 exclusive, Since this will be multi it won't have to compete with just those. And personally I can't think of much coming out in spring for my 360 that I would want.

*Edit @ Below*

Oh yea thanks. >.< For some reason I have really bad memory when it comes to games, There is more then likely more going to the ps3/360 in spring as well just bad with dates.

Cold 20006054d ago

Well Alan Wake and Splinter Cell conviction coming out in Spring.

DK_Kithuni_716054d ago

2009 has been (and still is one hell of a year) for a PS3 owner like myself. 2010 looks just as good (if not better) for the PS3. Even the the Xbox 360 has some decent titles coming out. That goes both for exclusives and multi-platform.

Alpha Protocol may become a decent (if not great) game but SEGA's reasons for the delay of the game are pure rubbish. Maybe (if we gamers are lucky) SEGA has finally found out that releasing rubbish (the Sonic series the comes to mind) will not sell and that Alpha Protocol needs another few months of hard work before anyone in their right mind would buy it.

Tony P6054d ago (Edited 6054d ago )

"AAA potential"

Well. That sounds like a nice crock of euphemistic crap.

Anyway, I hope they use the time to do proper QA.

R2D26054d ago

and said WTF...We need to reevaluate or game.

Hoping the best for both game, i am a big fan of WRPG.

free3sixty6054d ago

Anyways i cant wait for alpha Protocol

kalebgray926054d ago

why does microsoft release all their best games at the beginning and end of the year ... after those release gotta wait for september for reach 6 month dry period... oh well still better than this year .... literally haven't bought a game in a year for my 360... but not since the release date for me2 came out ima preorder that

devilmaycry20206054d ago

What I understand that if there are no competitive games released in the same time frame, its ok to release a sub par, crappy unplayable game.

bjornbear6054d ago

This game will not make it =( i'm interested in it though =D looks different!

finbars756054d ago

Wont release until next year when all the big hitters come out?Its going to be worst for them next year.They must have a dud on there hands if they feel they cant compete with other games this season which is a little slower.This year has been just a push year for every great title.horrible.

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.

TheNamelessOne687d 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.

ZeekQuattro686d 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.

TheColbertinator686d 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.

EvertonFC813d ago (Edited 813d ago )

Fantastic game,.so underated

Cacabunga813d 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!

LordoftheCritics813d ago

Spec Ops: The Line was super dark.

Incredible story.

SheenuTheLegend812d 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-Long813d ago

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

melons813d ago

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

Skuletor813d 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.

ravens52812d ago

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

monkey602812d 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.

Skuletor813d ago

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

Terry_B812d ago (Edited 812d 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.
