GamingUnion: Alpha Protocol Preview

It takes a lot to make a game about spies, particularly one that a developer would like to be taken seriously. Memorable characters, motivations, and action all have to mix and blend together nicely otherwise things turn sour. So naturally it's of great interest to see how much detail and depth has gone into making Alpha Protocol, particularly in the development of its cast and the web of 'choice' that surrounds each decision made.

Capcom is the best developer of all time. Consistent hit over many years .

I didn't know it came out last Friday, or I would have bought the game. I will try again for this upcoming weekend.

Im really digging it. It reminds me of games from the PS2 era, not visually or how it plays, but like the spirit of it. If you were around for that golden age of gaming, you’ll get what I mean when you play this.

Have you tried Kanitsu-Gami: Path Of The Goddess (also Capcom)? That feels like a PS2-era Capcom game.

The_Hooligan2h ago

Agreed! The art style is amazing in that game. I bought it immediately after I played the demo but haven't started it lol

The next thing I'm mine when I've had my fill of crimson desert. A nice linear action game to contrast the open ended 😗👌

solideagle, maybe the article is wrong but it mentions BG3 as the other.

It’s good, but I’m getting tired of seeing how overrated it’s getting.

andy851h ago

It just wasn't for you in that way i guess. Can't really argue with it when it wins all the awards and it's the highest rating by players of all time

I thought this game was a load of rubbish. Trying too hard to be art(sy) by people who don’t really understand art but want to make it look like they do. Found it obvious and shallow and just not a fun game. Just seemed like every relentless second they were clutching at trying to feed this superior narrative… the irony being that’s kind of what I’m doing now… maybe that’s art imitating art….

Didn't know the Golden Joystick fan votum was considered one of the "major awards"?

I always thought it's "only" the Big Four - VGA, Bafta, GDC and DICE.

Nonetheless, congrats to Clair Obscur!
