WorstUsernameEver

Leland, since he seems to have a pretty importan role in the story and has superb voice acting. Marburg simply because he seems to be shaping up as a boss, and pretty hard to kill too. Albatross could be an interesting character too but we know next to nothing about me. Sie because I want to know how she's involved in the mess. Haven't made up my mind about the other characters, but I like Sis' design. Oh and I want to know who the hell is Darcy.

I haven't noticed before (not that I was looking very closely) but supermutants have definitely seen some work. Not the exact same assets as we were told originally. They still look a bit like orcs (or The Incredible Hulk, or Frankenstein, or, or... ) but at least they're detailed orcs now. Well... the original supermutants looked like orcs too.

We've posted the same screenshots lol. Anyway it's nice to see that at least someone cares more about the new screenshots.

Alpha Protocol seems to be a LOT more non-linear when it comes to decision, and promises dramatically altered game experience based on your build and story choices. So 20-30 hour seems a pretty good length if you ask me (after all, Fallout 1 was much shorter).

There's a couple of new screenshots on The Vault.

Not particularly surprised about FlashForward cancellation since roughly half of the season was very slow and it generally felt too convoluted and out of focus. I liked the premise and I like how the series is turning out NOW, but it's really too late. As for Scrubs, I've stopped following it a while ago, so I don't know about the quality of the last seasons, but as long as it has a proper grand finale I'm not going to complain.

Modern Warfare 2 was apparently reviled by PC Gamers because it lacks dedicated servers. Dunno about Battlefield 2. I've seen both in action on the Xbox and I haven't been particularly impressed by either to be honest, but then again, I rarely play shooter (and mostly the 'unpolished & strange' ones, like S.T.A.L.K.E.R. and the likes).

I'd say go and ask it on their Q&A Slowtrain... there's a very little chance we'll be answered but it's not like asking will do any harm.

A new box art? That's easy. Something both new and VERY Fallout-y : show the new super mutant model trying to whack a powered armor courier with ominous New Vegas in the background.

I will be honest and say that I just glanced over it for now. The graphical layout is simple and easy on the eyes... and that's all I have to say about it for now.

You know what would be even better? Talking about commas in westerns.

Good idea. Someone should start photoshopping from here. Clipping errors ftw. It's most probably an unfinished model by the way, since the super mutants in those old screenshots looked almost all like the Fallout 3 one except for a couple of retextured ones (Nightkin). I don't particularly dislike the Nightkin using a grey-ish Fallout 3 model, but I hope they rework the head as they did with the normal muties, since the difference in quality is quite noticeable. Even the same new head just retextured (grey skin and pale mad eyes) would work imho.

Can we haz vehicals? I can understand why they post questions about things answered by articles (not everyone buys mags or reads scans), but do they really need to ask about things we know since the teaser trailer was revelead? GEEZ.

Maybe he has been tempted by the dark side and he will become Obsidian's new PR guy? After all he's as much 'Alpha Protocol's face' as the programmers, even more actually. Edit : Scrap it, now that I think about it I'm not making any sense. Another edit : From the last answer I'm really getting a 'as long as sales are decent we'll do a sequel'. After all, now that Obsidian has the tone, characters and the systems down, they can just concentrate on fine-tuning them and work on the presentation department (graphics mainly, I believe that if the game was at the same level of graphic detail as ME2 people would be drooling about it by now... sad but true).

Jokes aside, the Bethesda Q&A is quickly turning into an 'ask-questions-about-things-we-knew-about-before'. Meh. Things like 'What's the size of New Vegas?' when pretty much every preview mentioned 'same size as FO3'. I really hope they don't choose the easy way out and actually answer questions about the mechanics and the lore. On a secound thought, if I had to choose between the two I'd choose the questions about the mechanics, the lore can wait until I play the game.

I just hope you like the game when it comes out! Oh .. wait..

Well Fallout : New Vegas sounds lame, I think they should change it. Maybe Fallout : The house always wins? Or Fallout 3 : Now with Mariposa Super Mutants ?

I'm pretty sure FALLOUT + guy with a revolver and gas mask + VEGAS on the box means more sales. Then again I've been wrong about things like that in the past...

June 1st can't come soon enough. I just perorder the ps3 verison So is sega handling the ps3 version or is obsidian Alvin? I'm not a developer, but I guess answering to you would be quicker than letting you wait their answer (nice guys developers, but also pretty busy) : all the three versions of the game have been developed in-house at the same time, which is what you were asking I guess, so no port done by some SEGA's company or anything like that.

I don't know, the whole 'gas mask don't fit Fallout' debacle I've read on NMA and DAC seemed pretty stupid to me. And Fallout cover art has always been pretty sucky, it was even worse with Fallout 1 and 2 (and no, I don't think Power Armor helmets gave a particularly good idea of the setting either) so I can't really complain about this (it even has the Lucky 38 in the background! ).

Just remember that Alpha Protocol fits perfectly the spy genre tropes, and from what we have seen from the videos, it looks like the plot could have taken straight from a 24 season. The execution seemed pretty good from what I've seen so far and the character varied enough, though I want to see/hear all this in context (meaning : after I've played a bit of the game) before giving any impression.

June 1st can't come soon enough. May 28th for us europeans. I can't ewait...i envy you Worstuser. I'm ordering it from the UK though (it's cheaper that way) so I'll probably be playing it in June too, like everyone else. I probably won't even have that much time, considering pretty much all my exams are in June.

I can definitely agree with that. Lose the guy and it would be pretty awesome with just the Vegas strip in the distance and the great logo. I see that as well. I guess that guy is bit too generic, maybe? Killzone called, they want their soldier back Oh please, not again. Combat helmet + gas mask is not THAT uncommon.

I can see it growing stale if it was longer, considering they exhausted all the ideas for the mechanics they implemented.

I'm almost tempted by a more lethal playthrough after all this coverage lately. Then again, I need to get accustomed to the controls before deciding my build (so I'll probably end up playing the tutorial 3/4 times before I'm convinced about it ).
