WILL THE ALMIGHTY Posted May 29, 2009 Posted May 29, 2009 Awesome, but only if there are so many options for the rest of the game, or if the smoke grenade in the air ducts is a trick that can be used any time, for example. Last line of the trailer was... cheap. "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!"

Zombja Posted May 30, 2009 Posted May 30, 2009 I hope they will remove such things in final version. It makes game look cheap and doesn't add immersiveness maybe its just some kind of easter egg btw only russians can notice that thing. Who cares about us?
WasD Posted May 30, 2009 Posted May 30, 2009 Well, Zombja, anyway I guess that stuff should be removed and avoided at any costs. Coz that's like very unprofessional (except for the fun, russians will have reading this sign)))
H Posted May 30, 2009 Posted May 30, 2009 Jokes in Italian, Russian, Chinese and Arabic would be great, but I'd prefer them to be actual jokes, not random streams of consciousness.
SirPetrakus Posted May 30, 2009 Posted May 30, 2009 Everyone was wowed by this trailer. And I mean EVERYONE! Hell, my dead grandmother got up from her grave and said 'that's a cool game, grandson' and then walked right back in. That's how badass it was. Then there were the trolls: 'I lost all hope as soon as I saw the Sega logo', because you weren't drooling over Bayonetta or Empire Total War, you hypocrite! Lol at the sign! As for it being 'unprofessional', easter eggs have existed in video games since the 80s. If there's one thing video games are good at is not taking themselves seriously. It would be more out of character for it NOT to have a single easter egg. Bakdur's Gate I, Icewind Dale II, Warcraft II and III, they all had funny tidbits in them and now I can really see how that hurt the franchises! :S No offense really, but I hardly think that this will make or break the game, it's just there and it's fine if you like it, but it's also fine if you don't. And, yes, ME2's trailer sucked big time. Did they have a contest where everyone tried to make a trailer as corny and cliche as possible? I basically liked the DragonAge: Origins trailer, yes, the one with the Marilyn Manson song in it, a whole lot more than ME2's trailer.
Zombja Posted May 30, 2009 Posted May 30, 2009 Agreed Its funny. The question was did obsidian put this sign on purpose or not as 4 me it looks like someone's mistake
Tigranes Posted May 30, 2009 Posted May 30, 2009 Okay, wow. That's the first piece of AP media that really nailed everything for me - nothing to cringe at or feel uneasy about. Of course the CGI trailer doesn't reflect the gameplay / in-game graphics, but for me the trailer shows Obsidian have the feel and style down. This one was great from start to finish - pacing, dialogue, camera angles, plot, etc. And you probably do get the range of options shown in the trailer (if not the exact same ones), I'm not worried on Obsid shortchanging us on C&C for this one. 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)
Dagon Posted May 30, 2009 Posted May 30, 2009 This looks sweeeeeet! Definetly the best trailer of Alpha Protocol so far!
Cl_Flushentityhero Posted May 30, 2009 Posted May 30, 2009 Now that I've firmly established that I'm apparently off my rocker, I'm going to admit that I wasn't particularly impressed. I'm thinking this is because I'm cynical about the use of CGI for game trailers and cutscenes. IMO, in-engine footage from today's games typically looks better or at least more consistent with the rest of the game and better demonstrates the tech. When a developer uses CGI for either trailers or cutscenes, it basically says to me that they are trying to hide the actual game for whatever reason.
Fearless_Jedi Posted May 30, 2009 Posted May 30, 2009 I can definitely see where your coming from but because its more of a trailer I can understand why CG was used. I mean they want you to feel like you can be the main character in a spy movie. With that in mind CG is definitely the way to to make that happen. "Some people are always trying to iceskate uphill."

Niten_Ryu Posted May 31, 2009 Posted May 31, 2009 Very nice trailer. It perfectly captures various styles of recent spy/agent movies or series. Let's play Alpha Protocol My misadventures on youtube.
