Videogamer.com: Alpha Protocol Hands-on Preview

Videogamer writes:

"Call me old fashioned, but I’ve always thought that if you’re gainfully employed as a spy – by a government, private security agency, or even some form of business – then your actual workload should largely consist of… well, spying. If you act like the office clown to the point that your boss hates you; if you attempt to sneak your way into a terrorist base by arguing that no, you’re not an American secret agent – you’re actually a Canadian; if most of your espionage work consists of running around like a maniac, unloading a shotgun into the face of the nearest security guard…. if you do these things, I don’t know what you are – but you’re certainly not a spy, in the traditional sense."

This game sounds really cool. Hopefully it doesn't get compared to ME2 and gets treated fairly come review time. I might have to pick this one up.

PirateThom5771d ago

I've really been looking forward to this one. I have faith it will, at least, be decent.

predator5771d ago

Im hoping this is good, so far it seems it will

PS360WII5771d ago

I'm sure it'll be compared to ME and Fallout just for the fact it's not your normal leveling up rpg game.

I like that you could go guns ablazing, charmer, sneaky, hacker, or not kill anyone. The grey area of morality could be pretty neat if it's true. I've heard that before and it still turns into a good or bad thing.

The 32 endings thing though I'm not so sure about. Heavy Rain was said to have 18 which is does have 18 epilogues but you see those 18 in 7 different endings. Still a good amount of endings but it's not 18 you know...? small problem yes :)

stuntman_mike5771d ago

i just hope the actual gaming mechanics work (like shooting and hand to hand combat) don't end up being a clunky mess. the main character looks very bland and the dress up stuff looks quiet ridiculous.

but its different from most out there and i am looking forward to it.

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.

TheNamelessOne605d 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.

ZeekQuattro605d 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.

TheColbertinator605d 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.

EvertonFC731d ago (Edited 731d ago )

Fantastic game,.so underated

Cacabunga731d 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!

LordoftheCritics731d ago

Spec Ops: The Line was super dark.

Incredible story.

SheenuTheLegend731d 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-Long731d ago

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

melons731d ago

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

Skuletor731d 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.

ravens52731d ago

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

monkey602730d 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.

Skuletor731d ago

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

Terry_B731d ago (Edited 731d 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.
