Cl_Flushentityhero Posted March 11, 2009 Author Posted March 11, 2009 Empire: Total War is pretty huge. I'd consider Riddick: Dark Athena notable just because the first game was a breath of fresh air among shooters. If you mean PC RPGs, then no, but that's because they're incredibly scarce to begin with. We get what, one or two each year?
funcroc Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 Any idea which date of March for the episode 10? http://twitter.com/Qore/status/1285011177 "Hey everyone! Episode 10 of Qore will be out next Thursday, the 12th! Look for it in your download queue or on PSN then." (5:19 AM Mar 6th)

Its hosted on the 12th? Convenient, since we get another round of info from Spike.Tv on the consecutive 13th.

Morgoth Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 God thanks finally something. Mid 2009, so that sounds June-ish after all. Rain makes everything better.
Pop Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 So according to Sega it's both already out and due in a few months? great. Join me, and we shall make Production Beards a reality!
Cl_Flushentityhero Posted March 11, 2009 Author Posted March 11, 2009 Yeah . . . I would put more money on the retailers' estimates personally.
Pop Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 To be fair, there doesn't seem to be much consensus on when AP will come out amongst retailers. The most bandied-about date is "Summer 2009", apparently, which would bear out a June-August release window. Join me, and we shall make Production Beards a reality!
Morgoth Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 Now it will be the inevitable battle of the Titans: Dragon Age vs. Alpha Protocol. This sucks. Rain makes everything better.
Cl_Flushentityhero Posted March 16, 2009 Author Posted March 16, 2009 Mostly, it just sucks because we don't get to play it until then
Dakar Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 (edited) A fall release? Seriously? The game industry has a complete inability to learn lessons. Even big-time games get lost in that fall relese shuffle. By the way I don't think Dragon Age is not coming out in October. I'd bet on late November for DA. My guess is the console versions will not be finished in October and they want to do a simultaneous release. Edited March 16, 2009 by Dakar
Oblarg Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 (edited) On one hand, I'm sad because I have to wait. On the other hand, that's more time for them to polish. The last thing we want is a a rushed release (KotOR2, anyone?). This game has a lot of potential, it shouldn't go to waste. A fall release? Seriously? The game industry has a complete inability to learn lessons. Even big-time games get lost in that fall relese shuffle. By the way I don't think Dragon Age is not coming out in October. I'd bet on late November for DA. My guess is the console versions will not be finished in October and they want to do a simultaneous release. If anything, they should push it back, then. I'd rather wait longer than have game quality suffer.

Sharen the Exile Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 Noooooooo... I was hoping for June This way the game's gonna be much more polished. Happy to hear that!

ryan@seganerds Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 October 2009 If you ask me, this is the best thing that could have happened to the game... I mean you cannot say that it is being rushed this time! I also think that the game needs another 7 months of polish... some graphical effects need work, textures, animations and explosions as well. I also noticed bushes/trees look odd. Also, I find the muzzle flash on weapons is to yellow-ish, it should be a much quicker succession of almost white flashes.

Tigranes Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 Actually, I think it should have been August/September. Pushing back the date is all good, but I can't get over this obsession pubs have about not releasing anything in the summer. Now it'll compete with DA and whatever else. Let's Play: Icewind Dale Ironman (Complete) Let's Play: Icewind Dale II Ironman (Complete) Let's Play: Divinity II (Complete) Let's Play: Baldur's Gate Trilogy Ironman - BG1 (Complete) Let's Play: Baldur's Gate Trilogy Ironman - BG2 (In Progress)
Zoma Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 I doubt it'll be a direct competition to DA since DA isn't exactly directed towards the mainstreamers, especially in the console area. Based on the early impressions of DA on console, it was described as having 'complicated' controls for an RPG. If such statement was made, its definitely more complex than the KOTOR series which was tailor made for console RPGs unlike DA which was for the PC, and in turn may turn off casual gamers. AP on the other hand is an actiony RPG which would give somewhat more appeal to the casuals due to the absence of complexity in the gameplay system unlike DA. But again it depends on the level of polishness and presentation of the product as well as marketing power Sega is willing to invest in AP. Otherwise it would be an overlooked game during that period.
Cl_Flushentityhero Posted March 17, 2009 Author Posted March 17, 2009 I'm not sure AP will really compete in the shooter or what you call "casual" market. Anyone who isn't already well-versed in WRPGs probably won't understand what makes AP unique. Call me a cynic, but it seems like it would be very easy for the mainstream to dismiss AP as a half-assed shooter combined with a half-assed stealth game. It might sucker in some "ZOMG spy game!" purchases, but that sort of thing is usually a function of hype.
Fearless_Jedi Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 Anyone know when Mass Effect 2 is coming out? Maybe Obsidian is gonna wait for ME2s release so they can get sales while everyone is in the Action RPG frame of mind. "Some people are always trying to iceskate uphill."

Fearless_Jedi Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 2010. Then again maybe waiting for ME2 is a bad idea... Why don't they just let us download the game right now and we'll help Obs with the debugging and content creation? I'm all for that! "Some people are always trying to iceskate uphill."
