Sega “won’t be doing” Alpha Protocol sequel

Seems over for new Sega IPs.

Giving up so soon

Game was pap anyways,so no loss.

A sequel?
But… did they even release that patch yet?

*dies of shock*

*sigh*
Not that surprising, but I’m still sad. This game was a lot better than the reviews claimed, in my opinion.

@6
I agree, it was better. But there were too many bugs and niggles which forced reviewers into lower scores

Not surprising at all.

doesnt it prove that obsidian can only make games off over IPs not there own

Damn

I played and finished this game and yeah the gameplay quite frankly sucked but the story and concept where great! if a sequel fixed and improved the combat it could have been awesome. Oh well

@10 Yeah it was a great idea that suffered from a somewhat muddled execution. A sequel could have probably sorted out most of the issues, but I guess it’s not to be.

not really surprised by this news, the game didn’t really hook me like i thought i would, never got further then saudi arabia, sorted of lost interest and went back to playing JC2 and ME2, you know games that actually don’t make you regret pre-ordering them after you start playing, which is the case with alpha protocol as soon as i started playing i realised that i wasted my fucking money pre-ordering it

interesting, how much they expected to sell when the graphic of this game can be compered to 20 centuries games?
story is important in the game, but also the quality of the game.

I hate this metacritic bullshit “it has to be yadda yadda to be a success” no, it just had to have some sort of redeeming quality. perhaps sega should have invested more money in deceiving consumers like ubisoft or rockstar does. its not like game journalist are expensive to buy. review scores are even cheaper. low metacritic suggest sega is as incompetent has a games publisher as it were a hardware company. why don’t sega go make another sonic noone buys and die. good riddance.

The game was shit in so many ways, the animations the most glaring fault of them all.

But on the other hand I had SO MUCH FUN with it that it was well worth the price I paid for it on Steam.

Sad to hear that there will not be a followup.

I really wonder about Obsidian sometimes. This kind of trouble seems to follow them on every project. Whatever their problem is, they need to get it sorted out so they can actually make their games live up to their potential for once.

Until that happens don’t be surprised when New Vegas gets disappointing scores for being too rushed and buggy and then someone will find out there’s a good chunk of content they cut out for time and without it the story makes no sense.

@16

Agreed. Honestly think it will be a make or break it moment for them, they have gone through most publishers and majority of them have turned to crap games except one which is Never Winter Nights 2.

This game sucked really bad, last game I preorder that hasnt wow’d me in person in the past.
