Alpha Protocol - Safehouses

Definitely the game I'm most looking forward to this year . . . looks awesome.

Oh boy, this makes me miss the "marketing team" produced walkthroughs. You know, the ones that have equalized audio and competent audio and visual editing.


Cool looking game, I'll have to keep an eye on it.

I have mixed feelings. This looks like it could be really good, or really boring.

not a big fan of the "fury" animation

Seems like fun, but I think it looks kinda dated...

This looks pretty fun.

Looks good.

Just got me properly excited

Interesting, but I'm not sold yet. I'll be keeping an eye on it though, it could turn out great.

this look s really sweet

liked the martial arts option

Matthew Rorie tells it like it is.

The Boss of Bosses tells it like it is.

I'm pretty optimistic about this game and I like what they've shown so far.

Hmm The gameplay in this video looks pretty lame.  And the rpg elements have all been done before... probably done better.

I like the fact that the dialog options are timed. You can't just pull out a 'twix' for every moment and think your choices out, it forces you to think on your feet.

Loving what I see, but I'm kind of afraid it will have similar problems with its shooting as did Mass Effect

Looks pretty cool. I'll keep an eye out for now.

Facial and running/walking animations still look like crap.

Argghh, I can't wait for this game!!!

Matthew Rorie is THE pimp.

Graphical problems don't bother me, as the gameplay seems right up my alley. 

Not feeling this game at all, especially some of the textures. The textures on the lumberjack facial hair and many of the guns when you are customizing them look terrible.

Gun porn + beard options = day one purchase.

Boss of Bosses!

this game is making the must buy list
i'm trying to shorten the list a bit, because i won't have the time for everything, but this stays on !!

Who would've thought you'd be hearing Matt Rorie giving dev walkthroughs in a few years?

usually when i see a game, i get a pretty good feeling whether or not its gonna be good or bad....in this case i get none, i guess it could be mediocre....

Lol i still remember the podcast where rich made fun of matt rorie for his breathing :P

I really want this game to live up to the hype.  I want to see how Obsidian does on it's own license.

This is from the people that made Fallout...

Now I am a bit excited about this. Never really cared before, but it looks very customizable.

I'm pretty sure that's not a Rittergruppen.

I'm pretty sure it's just a Glock.

Also, it's a bit silly to see Thornton using Fury while three guys are pumping him full of lead. I mean cmon, he's not even wearing any body armor, just a t-shirt. How are those three thugs not able to kill him?

This looks fantastic... it reminds me of Mass Effect mixed with Gears of War with a sprinkling of The Sims' customization... I am fuckin' EXCITED. Here's hoping for a demo!

This game looks really cool. ill think about it.

Obsidian are often spot on with story, their problem has always been delivering a bug free and finished title.  I'm interested in the game, but with the caveat that it reviews well.

Matthew Rorie Boss of Bosses!

totally awesome to hear Rorie in that context. I think this sold me on the game.

Oh man. This is actually starting to look decent. Dragon Age might have some competition for my wallet this holiday.

Why does Obsidian always follow other developers? Kotor 2, NWN 2, Fallout: Vegas, Alpha Protocol...which is basically Mass Effect in a different setting. It's odd.

Also, the frame rate and tearing was pretty bad in that video and with their track of poorly optimized games I hope they fix it by release. Having said that I still want the game.

It looks so good, like a stealth orientated Mass Effect.
Too bad it's comming around the same time as Brutal Legend, or if else I would get this first day!

That's a huge Ridicule.

I can have a safehouse in Taipei, Taiwan?
That's awesome.

"Thornton using Fury while three guys are pumping him full of lead. I mean cmon, he's not even wearing any body armor, just a t-shirt. How are those three thugs not able to kill him? "

Is it me or does this look really dated?

Pretty excited for this one! Just hope the framerate isn't as dodgy as it seems to be in some of the sequences.

Looks pretty sweet I must say!

It looks really good but that gun play looked weak, and I'm not a fan of that voice, unless it's David Hayter, I aint interested =D

And also in my head I'm already sadly picturing that he's going to start clean shaven and by the end of the game full beard, he has no time to shave.

personally, im cautiously excited;  the combat looks fun and the enemy physics looks good, the dialog system looks similar to mass effect. i think this game could go both ways...

Fingers crossed! Generic title, generic art direction, but mechanically really interesting.
Also, level designers really, really need to consult with architects if they hope to create locations that feel real-world. Those "safe houses" are more like safe WAREhouses. It just looks too big to be a real place.

Have high hopes for this game - but there's no denying that the graphics look a little below par.  Hopefully the gameplay will make up for it.
