January 5, 201016 yr The key wording to me is "concepts for" which suggests they might just be throwing ideas around so that when AP is released and they see how sales do.. they can turn around to Obsidian and say "hey, how about doing the next one along these lines" and start the ball rolling on that... "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum."
January 5, 201016 yr The key wording to me is "concepts for" which suggests they might just be throwing ideas around so that when AP is released and they see how sales do.. they can turn around to Obsidian and say "hey, how about doing the next one along these lines" and start the ball rolling on that... That's what it sounds like to me.

January 6, 201016 yr That's what it sounds like to me. I hope so. Sega in terms of publishing might be considered passable, but as a developer...
January 6, 201016 yr Oh come on, it can't be that bad. I mean, they made Sonic, right? Too many people forget Shemnue.
January 11, 201016 yr It would be nice to...I know it's a crazy idea, but maybe they could...I don't know, actually release the first game? Just a reminder, in case they have forgotten it. Edited January 11, 201016 yr by Mojito
January 12, 201016 yr I don't like the idea either... It's kind of ridiculous to announce a sequel of something which doesn't even officially exist until now. I'm really looking forward to play this game and I'm eager to see what they got right and/or wrong. But if they think they have to develop a sequel because they learned so much about creating this kind of game, why do they publish the flawed one? Whatever. I'm excited about the first one.
January 12, 201016 yr Nobody's announced a sequel. Mountains out of molehills. Standard generic comment most PR people give an interview. 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)
January 15, 201016 yr Whether the speculation on a AP2 is true or not, I think this is a great opportunity to brainstorm ideas. Assuming not much has changed and disarms are still out of the CQC for AP1, I totally think they should be added to AP2. Its gotten to the point that disarms and using the environment to bash peoples heads in is pretty common in spy games. So I fully back any and all ideas that wish to implement these features. I also think that making takedowns capable from being used regardless of where your position is in relation to the badguy u want to take down (Behind - Stealth Takedown, Front and Sides - Regular Takedown). Though Im pretty sure u can do this in AP1. Other than that, the ability to counter an enemy's CQC attacks is a pretty common and well accepted feature most games with CQC employ. Finally, we must be able to use bad guys as human shields...that is a definite necessity. "Some people are always trying to iceskate uphill." Blade(Wesley Snipes) from the movie Blade.

January 17, 201016 yr I think this is a great opportunity to brainstorm ideas. Why? You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that? Reapercussions
January 17, 201016 yr Sega must have high expectations for this game since they are already making the sequel; possible reason for the delay, they should focus on the first game before starting on a sequel. I mean what if it plummets? I'd say the answer to that question is kind of like the answer to "who's the sucker in this poker game?"* *If you can't tell, it's you.
January 17, 201016 yr If it plummets, it'll simply reskin Mike Thornton into a emo hard rock punk aka Prince of Persia's Warrior Within in the sequel.
January 17, 201016 yr I think this is a great opportunity to brainstorm ideas. Why? LOL, cause there is hardly anything else to discuss on this forum...

January 28, 201016 yr 40,000 to almost none? They're already planning/thinking of making a sequel? YES. Hey, LucasArts planned a KotOR III, oh wait...

January 28, 201016 yr The difference is LucasArts is pretty much entirely **** while Sega has some cool stuff once in a while. "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!"
January 29, 201016 yr The only cool stuff either of them release, is made by Obsidian. Hey now, my mother is huge and don't you forget it. The drunk can't even get off the couch to make herself a vodka drenched sandwich. Octopus suck.
January 29, 201016 yr Also Sega had the Dreamcast. "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!"
January 29, 201016 yr Yeah, about a million years ago! Hey now, my mother is huge and don't you forget it. The drunk can't even get off the couch to make herself a vodka drenched sandwich. Octopus suck.
January 29, 201016 yr alpha protocol 2? wouldn't that be beta protocol? *insert joke about AP's delays here*
