Oh, The Places You'll Go in Alpha Protocol

did they actually just use the same music as one of the modern warfare 2 trailers
 
Wow they are a bit desperate, good music but you could do better

WOW.  Stiff animations, bad character models, and awful textures.  Looks like an up-rezed last gen game.

Does anyone know if there will be mod-tools released eventually for this game? Playing with those textures and terrible animations would be rough and im not even a graphics whore.

 Wait, I'm confused about the movie ... so the cops knew Internal Affairs was setting them up?    

looks shoddy and unpolished

I've thought this over and I've decided I won't be playing this; well, at least not any time soon.
 
Also, what's with people thinking the graphics are the be all and end all =/ Is that really what's turning people away from this game, just the graphics and animations?

Goddamn how can you create such an ugly game without noticing. I mean jeez obsidian polish this shit i don't care if it takes another six months. This concept deserves better visuals.

Still not sure what to make of Alpha Protocol. Love the concept and mechanics but something about it looks off.

Wait I thought this was supposed to be a rip off of bioware games? Looks more like a rip off of metal gear solid. It looks bad but then so does deadly premonition :-) 

Graphical prowess is the first thing I look for in my RPGs.

" How come when I watched this I lost all the hype I had for this game? I was really looking forward to it when I first heard of it. "

" Alpha Protocol can eat it. "

Is it 2006 already?

I want this game to be good and don't really mind the graphics but.. remember when this game was supposed to come out last October and got silently delayed?  I wonder how bad it was then for them to hold it for 8 months and get to this.

"  Wait, I'm confused about the movie ... so the cops knew Internal Affairs was setting them up?     "

*in Charles Barkley accent*
I thenk the voice acting is turrible.

Yay  for stolen character design!

Unless all things visual is all that is bad about this game, I don't see how this can go well.  
I mean sure I like leveling up my martial arts or hacking skills and the spy stuff but, damn, this looks sooo damn clunky.  The RPG-elements better be damn well implemented.

Taipei doesn't look like that at all anymore.

The graphics don't bother me too much. In fact, they're sort of endearing me to AP. The last game I played with such middling graphics was [PROTOTYPE], which exploited its insanely so-so graphics to put tons and tons and tons of stuff on screen without slowdown. What has me worried about AP is the game getting lost in it's own narrative. I know spy movies/games are supposed to be complex, and I do love me some complex thrillers, but movies only generally have 1-3 hours to weave the story. Games like this have 1-3 *days* of gameplay to become far too complex. 

I'm kind of interested because this game tries to do something new, but the trailers are not helping and the visuals are pretty bad.

Hmmm, did anyone else find that the character faces in that game look impossibly smooth? Little sceptical about this game, so definitely one to wait see about.

This game looks bad.

Kinda lame using the same music as that Modern Warfare 2 trailer.

Graphics are the most important thing about games to everyone these days.. sadly. There's previews everywhere showing of other things than this trailer if you just looked for them.

http://www.gamepro.de/index.cfm?pid=386&pk=2363 Here's one in german, he says the game has about 15 endings. 

Looks like a high-res PS2-game.

Looks really bad and unresponsive, but the concept is cool.

The fact Fallout: New Vegas is coming from the same studio worries me.

Why is everyone saying that this game will get two or three stars based on how 'clunky' or 'ugly' it LOOKS?
 
Is that how we rate games these days? Fuck off you eye candy addicts.

Graphics and character models look atrocious. Obviously can't speak to how it plays, but the dialogue we hear, and the characters we see in that trailer look bad.

Looks like Splinter Cell Conviction. Dunno if that's a good thing.

Waiting for reviews on this one.  If the RPG elements and action play out well, I can forgive the god awful graphics.  If it plays as fugly as it looks, no way...

"The espionage RPG" in the title.. Really?

Very curious about this game. I don't care how it looks.

Seeing that the graphics are not good, I hope this game has a lot of depth in it and a lot of playtime. Plus this is a start to a new IP, so the budget was probably lower than Fallout NV. Gotta remember Fallout NV also had Bethesda helping out a bit and they had all the previous tech to work upon. Still though, I have big hopes for this game, us rpg lovers could use a new genre. The espionage rpg...like it.

When your a spy...

" Graphics aren't the most important thing, but I can't see how anyone can be anything other than disappointed in the graphics of this game. They are well below what gamers have come to expect this generation. That should make anyone pause and wonder how much polish the rest of the game received.   That's great that it has 15 endings. Are any of them good? Sadly, many gamers these days get themselves hyped about games and decide how awesome they are because of some info the developer released, without ever playing the game. "

Reminds me of MGS2.

I'm interested, but this game looks really ugly.  Hopefully it'll play nice, and the RPG elements will be well designed and implemented.  Could be a decent $25-30 purchase.

If this game came out in July I might be more interested in it but I am still playing Red Dead Redemption.

I'm sorry but this was a crap trailer.
