February 24, 200916 yr If it comes out in the summer, I think it can get some buzz, just because there's nothing else out at the time. "Moral indignation is a standard strategy for endowing the idiot with dignity." Marshall McLuhan
February 24, 200916 yr It better be, otherwise it gets overshadowed by the late summer/Fall Hollyday releases. The unwashed masses aren't even aware that AP exists. This better starts to change sooner than later now. Rain makes everything better.
February 24, 200916 yr Well I think Sega owns the Alpha Protocol brand so I guess yeah. Rain makes everything better.
February 26, 200916 yr Hey funroc, when will the game be released? Because Sega fails to tell me so! Hey funroc, why don't just you publish AP instead? At least we would get something! Rain makes everything better.
February 27, 200916 yr funcroc our superspy here at the forums. Should be put in the game. Free games updated 3/4/21
February 28, 200916 yr I support the idea of adding Funcroc to the game. "Alright, I've been thinking. When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade - make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons, what am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager. Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons. Do you know who I am? I'm the man who's gonna burn your house down! With the lemons. I'm going to to get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!"

February 28, 200916 yr Out now? I didn't even know that... Let me get back to sleeping. I'm tired... Avatar made by Jorian Drake
February 28, 200916 yr I sense a bug in the internets. "Alright, I've been thinking. When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade - make life take the lemons back! Get mad!

March 1, 200916 yr Funcrocs secret is a time travelling device “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
March 1, 200916 yr If it comes out in the summer, I think it can get some buzz, just because there's nothing else out at the time. It could be just as well released this Christmas and with a proper marketing would still be succesful. It's only about Sega's horrible job at PR and advertising with this game. Many people aren't even aware about this game. M4-78 Enhancement Project :: www.m4-78ep.deadlystream.com Discuss the M4-78EP, Sleheyron Restoration Project, KotOR: Revenge of Revan and more!

March 1, 200916 yr Nowhere near big enough a game to stand out from the pack at Christmas. And SEGA's marketing budget is very limited by necessity. "Moral indignation is a standard strategy for endowing the idiot with dignity." Marshall McLuhan

March 1, 200916 yr If Alpha Protocol comes out any later than summer, then there is a chance it will be competing with Dragon Age: Origins. The last thing AP needs is to be drowned out and forgotten due to another high-profile game.
March 1, 200916 yr Author Of course, they were originally both supposed to release the same quarter I think. Edited March 1, 200916 yr by Cl_Flushentityhero
March 2, 200916 yr The even funnier thing is, I bet you there are hundreds of people who went: "I like these KOTOR2 and NWN2 games, I want some more from the guys who made this" www.bioware.com "Oh wow, Dragon Age! Sweet!" The whole "is Obsidian a copycat/bastard child" argument is so filled with nonsensical points I won't even go into it, but I'm sure there are a few people out there who've done that.

March 2, 200916 yr Nowhere near big enough a game to stand out from the pack at Christmas. And SEGA's marketing budget is very limited by necessity. Releasing a couple of screenshots and/or a gameplay video costs NOTHING. Every gaming website would immedately pick it up thus helping spread the word. Having a big budget won't help Sega at all if they can't even do simple and costless things.

March 2, 200916 yr They've released plenty of screenshots already. Gameplay videos may not be ready yet, especially as most internet dwellers don't seem to understand the game isn't final and proceed to take apart and nitpick every little flaw. I'm sure as we get closer to release, the info flood gates will break. Unfortunately, to be truly successful a game has to reach the mainstream, and I'm not sure the gaming sites do that very successfully.

March 2, 200916 yr Author Well, they certainly need to do something, because AP doesn't have the same market momentum as CoD 50.
March 3, 200916 yr Well, they certainly need to do something, because AP doesn't have the same market momentum as CoD 50. Couldn't have said it better myself. Come on SEGA do something.
