Don't like it, what's my incentive to buy the game when I see that cover? It's about a guy with a gun?

 

Not with A gun, but TWO guns! ;(

Guess I'm the odd one out.

 

First impression I have for the cover is "Badass" yet "mysterious" at the same time, which leads to "intriguing" that would make me pick up the box to take a look at the details behind.

An ugly blue guy and some orange stuff on the cover, reminds me of something... Planescape: Torment box art.

 

Marketing 101: Needs Sie in an "Ursula Andress" bikini on the cover too.

I just don't like the whole "THE ESPIONAGE RPG" line.

 

Otherwise, pretty cool.

It's as generic as covers get. How about something more imaginative? Maybe a bloodied dossier marked "Confidential", or something like that.

I'm not buying from GameStop. Ever.

awesome. My preorder pays off!

Notice how I can belittle your beliefs without calling you names. It's a useful skill to have particularly where you aren't allowed to call people names. It's a mistake to get too drawn in/worked up. I mean it's not life or death, it's just two guys posting their thoughts on a message board. If it were personal or face to face all the usual restraints would be in place, and we would never have reached this place in the first place. Try to remember that.

Well it says PAL on the cover. Maybe there's a different (and hopefully better) cover for the US region?

US covers are always worse. Always.

Well, I actually kinda like it. The thing is they won't make an original box art cover, because it can confuse/scare people away. Just like Torment.

Alpha Protocol Gets Release Date, Obvious Subtitle

 

Obsidian's spy-themed action-RPG Alpha Protocol will ship off to North American retailers on October 6, publisher Sega has just announced.

 

The game is now subtitled "The Espionage RPG," going by the box art issued today, with all three versions--PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360--to be released simultaneously.

 

In addition to Alpha Protocol, Obsidian has two other projects in the works--Fallout: New Vegas and a secret mystery title--with its Aliens RPG recently confirmed to be cancelled.

Not with A gun, but TWO guns! :thumbsup:

The second gun is hard to see, I didn't even notice it.

Soooo, what's the CE bos gonna look like? :thumbsup:

 

EDIT: Oh, box looks kind of cool IMO. There is going to be face customization right? Is that why the face of MT is not really visible?

Morgoth I honestly like yours better :thumbsup:

 

The actual box art isn't bad, but it is pretty plain to me. And the dude on it doesn't even look like M.T very much.

 

Side-note: Being a spy game, the box-art artist should really take advantage of the fact that a sexy chick would fit right in on the cover !
