Morgoth Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 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.
Cl_Flushentityhero Posted February 24, 2009 Author Posted February 24, 2009 Is Sega in charge of the ad budget?
Morgoth Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 Well I think Sega owns the Alpha Protocol brand so I guess yeah. Rain makes everything better.
Morgoth Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 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.
MarwinElMaco Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 funcroc our superspy here at the forums. Should be put in the game.
ShadySands Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 funcroc our superspy here at the forums. Should be put in the game. Free games updated 3/4/21
WILL THE ALMIGHTY Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 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!"

Sharen the Exile Posted March 1, 2009 Posted March 1, 2009 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!

Wrath of Dagon Posted March 1, 2009 Posted March 1, 2009 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

Redfield Posted March 1, 2009 Posted March 1, 2009 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.
Cl_Flushentityhero Posted March 1, 2009 Author Posted March 1, 2009 (edited) Of course, they were originally both supposed to release the same quarter I think. Edited March 1, 2009 by Cl_Flushentityhero
Tigranes Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 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.

Sharen the Exile Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 (edited) 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.

Wrath of Dagon Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 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.

Cl_Flushentityhero Posted March 2, 2009 Author Posted March 2, 2009 Well, they certainly need to do something, because AP doesn't have the same market momentum as CoD 50.
zlarm Posted March 3, 2009 Posted March 3, 2009 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.
