Obsidian Would Like to Make Another Alpha Protocol Game

[Gaiseric]

Fix the pop in textures.
Don't make levels where if you specialize in stealth you're boned.
Get a better voice actor for the protagonist(never a point when he didn't seem like a douche).
More customization options(Character/weapons).
More weapons.
Better UI.
Better AI.
More polish.
Side missions?
Dialogue options need work.

And get a new sneaking animation. If I'm spending most of the game sneaking, I don't want my character looking like he has a bad back and like he has to take a shit.

Do the things above and I'll buy it on launch day.

I hope they do make another one, they just recieve a suitable level of technical and quality testing.
Because the story and characterisation was brilliant.

Obsidian. Quality testing. BWAHAHAHAHAahahahhahahahaha. wait wait... BWAHAHAHAhahAHHAHAHhahaha.

...wow, you actually managed to say exactly what I did, but less coherently.

 

[Shinta 2]

I'd play it. Alpha Protocol's flaws were greatly exaggerated. They were still definitely flaws, but nothing that stopped me from enjoying the game.

 

[Falseprophet]

I'm playing through it now and I'm really liking it. It's good to see an RPG in a genre we usually don't see.

Hopefully this can be like Assassin's Creed--the first having some really innovative stuff but failing at execution, but the sequel addressing all the issues and coming into its own as a brilliant game.

 

[Alchemist08]

I've tried really hard to stand by Obsidian and their games over the last few years, and frankly, my patience is long gone. They can say what they want about making great games, but for a game to be great it needs to function as a game, no matter how good a story they put together. It would take a miracle on their part for me to ever purchase another game with the studios name on it.

 

[Alucard788]

I really liked AP. It was a bold game that was like a super spy version of Mass Effect...with better combat.

I do hope they make an AP2. However for my own personal wish I hope they include the option to bag a fella this time around. Spy on spy indeed...

 

[Gildan Bladeborn]

Ah, well it's nice that they want to make another one because I would rather like to play another Alpha Protocol game - the first one was a lot of fun, when the weird slow-down hitches from certain rooms to other rooms weren't kicking in and making me suddenly run the other way because I didn't realize the game wasn't registering my mouse movement anymore.

So one with less bugs, that would be awesome.

 

[Mangue Surfer]

I played on PC too, had on minor bug in a boss. Overall, count me in in AP2.

 

[PapaGamer]

Another "Alpha Protocol?" Yes. Please. Played the first one through four times and had a blast each time. Obsidian knows how to make compelling stories and great RPGs. Now, if they can just fix the technical issues...

 

[Paragon Fury]

Why?

The game was broken, boring, annoying as shit, and just not fun at all.

The story was lame, the main character sucked, and they've thrown out better plots than what got used in Alpha Protocol.

Admit-tingly, there are a couple damn good characters in the game, like Sis, the G18 and Sev, but a few good characters a sequel does not make.

 

[Quellist]

Alpha Protocol was a fantastic game with more choices than Bioware at their prime. I welcome the possibility of a sequel and while i agree some of the games mechanics were broken i think the game can still stand head and shoulders above many of its peers.

 

[Who Dares Wins]

No Obsidian, you DON'T want to "make" another Alpha Protocol game. You want to "write" another Alpha Protocol game and leave the "making" to someone who can do it. Not hating on Obsidian, but everyone seems to complain about the buggines of their games, letting someone else "make" the game would be better for them.

 

[Spencer Petersen]

Obsidian made another buggy, broken game? Oh my! I never saw that coming. And what's that, it was with yet another DIFFERENT publisher, and wasn't a sequel based on someone elses software? My my my! Will wonders never cease!

Sorry to be glib, but can people stop placing the blame for Obsidian's horrible game-bortions on everyone but Obsidian now? They just aren't capable of producing a polished finished work. Accept it. They've had myriad opportunities with numerous, quality publishers backing them.

Why does a sequel to another game that several people liked being published in any way hurt you? Get off your high horse and learn that there are people out there who aren't you.

 

[chaos order]

i wanted to try alpha protocol because of its unique approach but i kept hearing that they half assed everything. maybe a sequel will fix that.

 

[The Apothecarry]

Alpha Protocol had a great story (I'm a big Clancy fan), but it had a terrible combat setup and dialogue sequences were iffy. Boss fights did feel a bit forced and a bit broken (Darcy was a bullshit boss).

Last I checked, my keyboard didn't have one of those AE hybrid keys.

 

[RatRace123]

I loved Alpha Protocol, if they could iron out some of its flaws while keeping all the things it did right.

SIGN MY ASS UP, OBSIDIAN! They should totally go for it.

 

[Bat Vader]

I thought Alpha Protocol was a pretty good game. There were some bugs but they were pretty minor in my opinion. I would like to see an Alpha Protocol sequel.

 

[subtlefuge]

I would honestly like to give AP another shot. It was just a bit short in execution.

 

[Quesa]

My favorite terrible moment from AP:

Spoiler

You break into the warehouse in Rome, and you find the baddies you expect torturing a Russian, voiced pathetically by Michael Bell (nothing like hearing Duke do a terrible Russian accent).

Comrade Michael Bell: "Nyet, Nyet, I told you everything; I don't know what happened in Moscow. There was someone there, a man, Thornton, he"
*gang of Russians in Adidas jump suits burst into the warehouse guns blazing*
Superduper Spy Mike Thornton: "Russians.. what are they doing here?"
RESCUING THE RUSSIAN WHO'S BEING TORTURED, JEEZ

Followed closely by Omen commenting casually about Thornton standing in the middle of a busy subway in full combat gear. Contrasted with every other conversation rambling about how Captain Blunt Instrument is some invisible hell hound, untraceable and ingenious beyond measure. Dreadful game on every level.

What would the point of a sequel be, to find out how many duodecuple agents they can cram into the script?

 

[Dectilon]

I think he meant 'what are so many russian mobsters doing in Rome', not what they were doing there specifically.

But that other bit I'll agree is stupid. It's metal gear levels of meta if his stealth armor is supposed to make him literally invisible

alt-commandos, geez!
