January 19, 201214 yr Obsidian try to convince SEGA, or create a similar project for Alpha Protocol for another publisher. For me, Alpha Protocol is one of the most brilliant ideas you had, instead of promoting NEW VEGAS who genuinely is really ugly, you make a new Alpha Protocol 2 or similar game, so why miss a game platform in the market VG. In italy there are so many kids waiting for a sequel to this game, because the only defects were: -the graphics, animations and camera view a little jerky. the rest was simply divine.
September 17, 201213 yr Maybe just call it another name, and have similar gameplay mechanics, with spy histories...no need to call it alpha protocol 2
September 19, 201213 yr yes.. and make it a Kickstarter project! I read that AP cost something in excess of 8 million to make. I doubt that much could be raised via crowdfunding.
September 22, 201213 yr As far as I can remember Sega said no to the sequel due to the poor sales. And as Posbi states it's too big project for ks, shame, it was a flawed gem but I liked it very much.
October 13, 201213 yr yes.. and make it a Kickstarter project! I read that AP cost something in excess of 8 million to make. I doubt that much could be raised via crowdfunding. well but maybe raise 4 million with crowdfunding and then more 4 million with company funding
October 19, 201213 yr I would kill for AP2. It was this game that brought me to these forums the first time, to find out if there were others who couldn't understand the hate for this game. Oh, and if anyone's wondering, that is a serious offer to kill someone if AP2 were offered as payment...

October 22, 201213 yr Alpha Protocol is one of the finest RPG-experiences I've ever had. While the gameplay itself usually was little more than "OK", the way the game handled characterisation, dialogue, and the whole choice & consequence formula, are nigh-unparalleled. It's sad that it was not a more commercial success, of course, but then again, aren't many of our masterpieces often overlooked not only in this day and age, but throughout history?
October 24, 201213 yr I would love another Alpha Protocol (or, barring that, a spiritual successor with the same kind of character development). I don't understand why it didn't do that great. Sure, the combat was kind of minimalist but I thought it was fun, and I'm not really a spy movie person.

October 26, 201213 yr Who wouldn't? Except for the ones bashing AP without playing it of course for reasons beyond human comprehension... ^ I agree that that is such a stupid idiotic pathetic garbage hateful retarded scumbag evil satanic nazi like term ever created.

June 27, 201312 yr Maybe we fans should be telling Sega direct! Yes. In front of their HQ with pitchforks and torches. I hate companies that hold an IP hostage even though the creators would be interested in making a sequel (or so I understand). Edited June 27, 201312 yr by Aoyagi
July 7, 201312 yr I would love to see an Alpha Protocol 2 or a new real-world environment RPG from Obsidian Was some interesting talk about it here. Edited July 7, 201312 yr by Freddo
July 10, 201312 yr AP was a fantastic game actually. Mechanically it was ok bordering on really good. But we all know that. Story wise it was fantastic, and RPG mechanics were excellent. I loved the story and dialogue. We all know obsidian can write, but their range and skill really showed in this one. Clearly outside of their normal territory they crafted an immense diverse story that hooked me from go. If not a specific sequel I would love to see an RPG crafted in the spy thriller setting again. Heck make it in the style of an IE game, the story and setting would still rock and you could do some really neat things with that setup. -Crash the silence for the sake of memory- Computer Problems or Questions?

October 24, 201312 yr Yes, and the silence is deafening, isn't it? What's the difference between "there", "their" and "they're"? Apparently, none.
November 11, 201312 yr I'm British so I'm already outside the US anyway. As long as you pay for the flight (first clas I ain't that cheap!) and hotel rooms I'll go anywhere...

December 11, 201312 yr Agreed. AP was one of the best shooters I played even though it had some faults. Really miss those spy shooters.
February 12, 201411 yr I just read the pillars forum (backer) and saw this forum so I had to come here and post that AP is one of my favorite RPGs. I had the most epic conversational "confrontations" in any video game and I loved the modern spy setting. A true gem.
February 17, 201411 yr yes.. and make it a Kickstarter project! I read that AP cost something in excess of 8 million to make. I doubt that much could be raised via crowdfunding. well but maybe raise 4 million with crowdfunding and then more 4 million with company funding I'm not quite sure people understand why AP2 can't be made. Obsidian does not own it. That being said, I hope the next Kickstarter is Not Alpha Protocol 2.
February 17, 201411 yr Aside from the point Bryy made above... AP definitely did not cost 8 million. 4 million is peanuts in the game's industry. You really think AP's fund was peanuts x2? Not bloody likely. ^ I agree that that is such a stupid idiotic pathetic garbage hateful retarded scumbag evil satanic nazi like term ever created. At least top 5.

March 28, 201510 yr I'm glad they never made AP an action game with RPG elements. If Mike had no skills with a gun category, he would suck using them. I like it that way, a proper action RPG. It could've been polished a bit and the invisibility/regenning armour were out of place. Oh and the AI reaction to alarms/bodies was amusing. But I would be all over a sequel like red on a Ferrari.
