Preview

 

Guess they're out of loop or something, because they say it's coming out on October 27th.

Maybe the whole "delay" thing is a clever (read: brain dead) marketing trick of SEGA.

 

I like the preview (party because they mostly dropped the ME comparisons).

Sega says October 6th, Amazon says October 27th, Amazon.ca and Gamestop say 2010.

Looks like this is a belated (and awful) preview article.

Actually I'd say it's one of the better preview articles I've read on AP. Primarily because it mentions Mass Effect but acknowledges that AP is quite a bit different, and also that ME was not the cornucopia of RPG-dom that it's often said to be in game media.

that was a pretty nice preview, longer than i expected & even better was they thought it was "rpg heavy" aka rpg enough in my book.

I'm still clinging to the hope that the game will be released this Oct., and util the website says otherwise, my eyes are shut and my fingers are in my ears.

Ironically, they've just made a news story about it possibly being delayed. Guess they're were just out of the loop.

WHy won't they just give us an official release date and be done with this stupid speculation.

The longer Sega chooses to remain silent, the more criticism and doubt will arise. Certainly not helping Obsidian and Alpha Protocol in the end.

Why did they keep saying Aliens RPG was on hold when they had really cancelled it?

You know Wrath of Dagon, much as I like you and all, I can't help but wonder how you're so speculative about whether Alpha Protocol is finished or not, when at the same time you follow a game like Age of Decadence which has been in development forever and with a very small team to boot.

 

I think it's fair to say that Alpha Protocol and Aliens were at pretty different stages in their development no?

Because it's very understandable why AoD has been in development for a long time (not forever), and I have a lot more faith in Vince than in corporate beancounters. Besides with AoD we're told about everything that's going on, with AP all we get is the usual marketing line. Also, I've never believed AP would sell well to tell the truth, regardless of its merits.

I'd agree.

Preview gets +1 for the Our Man Flint reference.
