Alpha Protocol Dev Diary: The Reactive World

 i like the whole idea of a spy rpg

all of this dialouge looks like mass effect....which is awesome :D

I like options. It looks alright.

I really want to buy this game, but it's gonna be a tough choice with Saboteur coming out too...

why does everyone animate and look better in this game except for the main character

either way, looks interesting

I have high hopes for this, it's an interesting concept. Sort of mixing Mass Effect with the Bourne Conspiracy together.

This game looks better every time we see it. I'm glad that they are avoiding a "morality meter" and focusing on character relations. Morality meters always sound awesome but end up feeling artificial and weird. It also looks like there will be a lot of replayability.

Day 1 purchase for me.

I don't really like the timer during the dialogue trees. I kind of like to take my time with those but I'll deal with it.

graphics remind me of godfather 2

I want to see more.

His feet are huge.

We'll see. Looks a lot like Mass Effect but with spies, which may or may not be good. Obsidian doesn't quite have the same pedigree of quality as Bioware, but I'm optimistic.
Also, thankfully a lot less obnoxious ego stroking in this Developer Diary as opposed to the previous one. Tell me about the game, not about how awesome you think it is.

Looks pretty cool, but some of the voice acting was kind of halfhearted.

They say they're mixing the best of the three JBs (James Bond, Jason Bourne, and Jack Bauer). Sounds pretty cool to me, I'm just not sure how the bosses will play out..

Say I make a melee-focused character, the obvious best final boss fight would be an awesome hand to hand fight. But the hand to hand final boss wouldn't work for gun-focused characters, so if they made the final boss a gunfight, I would feel like I wasted time learning all the hand to hand.

It still looks great, just some minor kinks that I'm not sure how they will play out.

Headslam everyone!

if they had the headslam option in every RPG i would die

Meh.

Every conversation in every RPG must now have the headslam option.

Sounds like the voice actor who did that voice of Shepard in "Mass Effect".

Why do the developers look like they're in a Saw movie? :)

Game looks pretty nice.  They haven't mentioned much about combat yet, which will probably the make or break thing for me.

Will probably pick this up

8th day purchase for me

Looks awesome...Mass Effect and Bourne Conspiracy...Obsidian has made some great games... looks good.

i would like them to say "yeah we ripped off mass effect."...

Nice head slam.

Seems a bit like a low budget version of Mass Effect, but if it's even half as good this should be a must play.

Fairly interested, I'll buy this to keep me busy until Mass Effect 2 :D

Looks good to me.

Dialogue options are about as fun as quicktime events.

looks good.  i'll certainly try it, mostly because i am a huge obsidian/black isle fan and i'll try anything they release.

Obsidian does good work. I look forward to this.

Hell yeah! This is shaping up to be a pretty cool game

The main guy's voice acting is really bland.

His voice is so annoying ;<

I think my gun is working just fine tyvm.

So far, I have liked every Obsidian game released.  I'm sure I'll like this one as well.


BTW, the video mispelled dialogue.  (dialog)

sounds just like the guy who did the voice for John Shepard in Mass Effect

So now we know that the famous Chris Avellone looks really creepy in bad lighting and that Obsidian are quite capable of creating entirely emotion-free character models. Exciting...

duuuuude! that's pretty cool. The shooting looks alright, but the HEADSLAM! jesus christ, I wish I thought of  that...

I love that they have more *physical* options than in Mass Effect for Instance, but I don't know if the dialog will turn out as good. We'll see.

There's an AP video with Matt Rorie commentating -  I'm surprised it hasn't been posted yet (unless I missed it).

the animation doesn't look to solid

Again no Matt Rorie disappointing.
