funcroc Posted March 13, 2008 Posted March 13, 2008 http://www.ebgames.com/product.asp?product%5Fid=200463 Alpha ProtocolPre-Release Ships 2/17/09 Loyalty carries a price and no one knows this more than agent Michael Thorton. A talented young agent cast out by his government, Thorton is the only one with the information needed to stop an impending international catastrophe. To do so means he must cut himself off from the very people he is sworn to protect. As players determine how to accomplish different objectives, the decisions made and actions taken in each mission will ultimately transform the type of secret agent Michael Thorton will become. Every choice the player makes as Michael Thorton will carry consequences for his future and the fate of the world.

Big Bottom Posted March 13, 2008 Posted March 13, 2008 Kewl...weren't you tempted to give the hero a J.B. name as well? The best flash game ever!
Azure79 Posted March 13, 2008 Posted March 13, 2008 Wow... I'm excited! I'm all for a spy themed RPG. Can't wait for more details. How long has this been in development?
Gorth Posted March 13, 2008 Posted March 13, 2008 Moved to correct section “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would surely suffice.” - Albert Einstein
Joseph Bulock Posted March 13, 2008 Posted March 13, 2008 I suggested a JB name but they didn't go for it... My blood! He punched out all my blood! - Meet the Sandvich
Pop Posted March 13, 2008 Posted March 13, 2008 (edited) THAT'S WHY YOU'RE THE JUNIOR DESIGNER, BULOCK. If you can't agree with the team, then you can make your own espionage RPG. Then you can have all the JB characters you like. Edited March 13, 2008 by Pop Join me, and we shall make Production Beards a reality!
Pidesco Posted March 13, 2008 Posted March 13, 2008 I vote for Jools Binglebottom. "My hovercraft is full of eels!" - Hungarian tourist I am Dan Quayle of the Romans. I want to tattoo a map of the Netherlands on my nether lands. Heja Sverige!! Everyone should cuffawkle more. The wrench is your friend.
Deraldin Posted March 13, 2008 Posted March 13, 2008 I suggested a JB name but they didn't go for it... Well at least we know that there is at least one developer on the team that knows how these things are supposed to work.

Well at least we know that there is at least one developer on the team that knows how these things are supposed to work. I should point out it was a very particular JB name that I'm very fond of...

Obsidian is just a front for Sega to secretly rebuild their reputation as a developer? I suggested a JB name but they didn't go for it... Well at least we know that there is at least one developer on the team that knows how these things are supposed to work. I should point out it was a very particular JB name that I'm very fond of... Oh! No one liked JC Benton? :sad: Edited March 13, 2008 by Deraldin
SteveThaiBinh Posted March 13, 2008 Posted March 13, 2008 I imagine he means Jensen Button, superstar racing driver. As for 'Michael Thorton', to quote google search, "Did you mean Thornton?" "An electric puddle is not what I need right now." (Nina Kalenkov)
GreasyDogMeat Posted March 13, 2008 Posted March 13, 2008 I suggested a JB name but they didn't go for it... Well at least we know that there is at least one developer on the team that knows how these things are supposed to work. I should point out it was a very particular JB name that I'm very fond of... Hey, Joseph Bulock is just as good as Michael Thorton! Thorton sounds like a boring english major. You could just reverse the JB and give him an uber cool name like... BOB JOHNSON! Seriously, would you mess with someone named Bob Johnson? I know I wouldn't.
Alvin Nelson Posted March 13, 2008 Posted March 13, 2008 I suggested the name Alvin as the hero. And yes he would also "bag all the chicks" Let me get back to sleeping. I'm tired... Avatar made by Jorian Drake
Pidesco Posted March 13, 2008 Posted March 13, 2008 I suggested the name Alvin as the hero. And yes he would also "bag all the chicks" Well, with your professional activity that makes sense. "My hovercraft is full of eels!" - Hungarian tourist I am Dan Quayle of the Romans. I want to tattoo a map of the Netherlands on my nether lands. Heja Sverige!! Everyone should cuffawkle more. The wrench is your friend.
Big Bottom Posted March 13, 2008 Posted March 13, 2008 I suggested a JB name but they didn't go for it... Haha! The best flash game ever!
