Alpha Protocol gameplay video at IGN

[Jim Cojones]

Watch

Nothing really new but it shows some cool features like:
- sweatshirts and T-shirts being armors,
- levitation spell,
- hawt mercenaries.

EDIT: Also "shoot me!" icons for guys who don't know what is the purpose of putting enemies in games. Very helpful.

"Hawt Mercenary" = "OMG someone put Denise Crosby in the body of Sonya from Street Fighter, Aiiiiiigigggghhhhhh..."

[Qwinn]

Otherwise, I think it looks pretty good, actually. Looking forward.

Looks pretty neat actually. Like how this is shaping up.

Sonya from Street Fighter

Dude... wtf?...

 

[Andhaira]

Sonya was in Mortal Kombat.

Impressive

i think it looks like shit. I hate the console targeting system for retards who have to use a gamepad.

Seems like Mass Effect in another setting..

Hmmm? There isn't any sort of auto targeting in AP.

Unless you're just complaining about shooters on a console in general?

 

[Andhaira]

Anthony, why doesn't Alpha Protokol have martial arts and different martial art styles? That would be a huge help in selling the game.

 

[Qwinn]

Doh! Yeah. I meant Mortal Kombat.

(But seriously, is my confusing those two something I'm actually supposed to be embarassed about now? Cause I'm really not.)

yes

Anyway, it looks promising except for one thing that annoyed the shit out of me in FEAR2, and that is - EVERYTHING seems to have a fucking tag on top of it notifying you that 'O HAI, I AM A THINGY YOU CAN INTERACT WITH!', same with the 'shoot me!' icons on enemies.


However, notice around 4:00 how two shots by the mercenary-behind-a-corner reduce the player to half of his hp. me likes.

I just hope the enemy damage later on is adequate to the 400 hp the guy has...

 

[Qwinn]

Yes.

Yeah. You're right. I confused which one of two almost identical fighting games the blond mercenary chick came from. No way I'll ever get another date again now.

Aggressive - Bluff - Honest - Attack

I hope you get the last option with everyone.

 

[Darth Roxor]

yup

 

[SimpleComplexity]

Alpha Protocol VS Fallout : New Vegas, which is better and why?

Skyway: They are both shit.

This is just going to ported to PC isnt it? The same targeting system for people who use gamepads.

Well your chances with everyone but the mythical gamer girls just went up at the cost of the almighty e-cred. Was it worth it? WAS IT WORTH IT?!

The bottom line is that animations cost a lot of memory. So we took one style and ran with it.

I don't know the specifics on the martial arts style that MT uses, except that it is real. We brought in this super sensei guy and his assitant (aka punching bag) and we mo-capped him doing all of these crazy things.

MT starts off only being able to punch and block, but sink enough points into martial arts and he turns into Tony Ja running around crushing everyone's face.

I'll see if I can find out who the guy was and what he martial arts style is.

On the PC you use the mouse, though you can use an xbox controller too, just like crysis and other modern windows games.

I'm not really sure what you are asking or getting at though.

The game is dumbed down, console style. Extra big crosshair, view over the right shoulder, sluggish slow aim movement. Its not anything like the way it should cfr for example Counter-Strike.
