Ladies Love Cool Mike In This Alpha Protocol Trailer

I think his name's Michael.

srsly how long did they spend on his character design? He looks pretty horrible. Or can you make your own character? Either way I don't at all get the praise this game is getting  

Every time I heard them say Thornton, I thought it sounded like Gordon.

" This game sounds awesome, but as they release more and more trailers my expectations are dropping and droppping. This is an awful trailer, I'll be honest. They should've gone for a more suave james bond-y approach to the trailers in my opinion. "

Graphics look shit, and the attempts to give him cool james bond style one-liners failed miserably.

 
"See the gun? thats who I am."  I'll leave it at that

"Who are you?"
"I'm selling these fine leather jackets."
 
"Who are you?"
"Look behind you, a three-headed squirrel!"
 
"Who are you?"
"See this gun? I have come, not to bring peace, but a sword."

is mike the main character.  He looks pretty bland.  Generic japanese made videogame hero

I think the problem with this game, being an RPG set in a fairly realistic contemporary setting is just that - most RPG's have some visual hook, whether it be Mass Effect's fantastic sci-fi, Dragon Age's gritty low-fantasy, the wonderfully anime-like quality of Dragon Quests or the fantastical mix of technology and nature of the many Final Fantasies.
This, coupled with what appears to be a slower pace than the average shooter (or, say, Borderlands, for that matter, which also had great visual flair), probably causes the game to have this lacklustre graphical appeal. Still at the very least curious about it. Hopefully gameplay and plot cover whatever visual foibles it might have.

Way to illustrate that the dude has one, maybe two close quarters takedowns.

buying this game

Reminds me of the show Burn Notice...maybe its the name Michael, but it looks pretty good. 

As a Michael I found the trailer slightly amusing, but the game itself looks like a train wreck.  Some games are better off canceled than delayed.

Spoilers

This game should be called: Mr Michael Mike Thornton

And that ridiculous almost naked Russian(?) ladycommandothingy reminds me of some B-grade bullshit like Matt Hazard.

Not sure if this game is looking baaaaaaaaaaaad or just bad to me. 

That Russian girl is totally Cammy from Street Fighter. Also this trailer could be improved tenfold if the name Michael Thorton was replaced with "Shepard".

This goddamn song has been stuck in my head for a week. As little as I cared about this game... I must give props to their advertising team, because it kind of worked.

This like ones of those crazy fan-made trailers someone would post on youtube.

I love it.
