Matthew Rorie Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 So if you read the preview on AP in the latest issue of OXM, the last paragraph should answer the delay question: we're now shooting on being out next summer. While that might be disappointing to some of you (sorry!), in the end everyone's goal is for AP to be a high-quality game, and the extra time will let us make the game as good as it can possibly be.

Diogo Ribeiro Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 That's all good, but this reeks of a cash in to coincide with the next Bond flick: Summer of Spies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Llyranor Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 Obs, this is the last straw, I'm tired of you delaying games until no one cares about them anymore. Remember the last game you delayed? You pushed KOTOR2 after Xmas, and then look at what a freaking mess it became. I've had enough of this. Besides, we all know the new release date is Diogo Ribeiro . (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trenitay Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 Summer works better for me anyway. Hey now, my mother is huge and don't you forget it.

Wrath of Dagon Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 Summer should be a good time to release a game like this, it'll get more attention that way. Of course in a couple of months it'll probably become a Christmas release. "Moral indignation is a standard strategy for endowing the idiot with dignity."

Morgoth Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 Summer is very vague, so this probably means either late June or September, as games usually don't get that much released during July and August. But that's fine by me. Quality first, and so on. Rain makes everything better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fastpunk Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 Well that's that. As long as the game is polished. Maybe they'll work on the graphics too, the trailer showcased some lovely, vividly colored environments, maybe they can bring the actual game closer to that.

Pidesco Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 They sure as hell could take the extra time to polish the facial expressions.

Kevin Lynch Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 Now that I've added AP as a game to track, it's also nice to hear that summer of '09 is a release target. As long as it doesn't slip to end of September or into October, it's a great period as there's almost always a very poor selection of games available.

Calax Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 If it slips any further I would almost ask that it be pushed into 2010 so that it actually has a chance to shine (Oct/Nov is a REALLY packed area in terms of releases every year). Rather than be drowned in the number of AAA titles that get released every fall. Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition! Kevin Butler will awesome your face off.

Tigranes Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 That would make the "Doesn't look next gen enough" complaint almost lethal - Summer should be as far back as they can possibly push it.

Broadway Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 There isn't an official release date set yet but feel free to speculate . The game is still under development so please keep that in mind when commenting on screenshots and videos. They are being taken while AP is being built and there is still a lot of polishing that will be done before release - On a new adventure - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrath of Dagon Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 I don't care about polish, KOTOR 2 was the definition of unpolished, and still one of the greatest games ever, especially compared to all the boring atrocious crap being put out these days.

blankers Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 Got a friendly e-mail from Amazon today regarding my AP (PC) pre-order. Hello from Amazon.com. We have received new release date information related to your pre-ordered video game in the order you placed on November 11 2008 05:13 PST (Order# MYSTARY!). The release date for the video game listed below has been changed by the publisher, and we want to provide you with a new delivery estimate based on the new release date: "Alpha Protocol" [CD-ROM] Release date: 08/31/2009 Estimated arrival date: 09/03/2009 This is about the fifth e-mail I've received from them and each one with a later date. <drama> I can feel my life slipping away, I might just be dead before AP comes out. </drama> Oh well. Don't polish it too much. I like my games like my women. A little filthy and sometimes rough. (Love you Mom) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
