Obsidian: We Would Make Alpha Protocol 2

Feargus Urquhart, CEO of Alpha Protocol developers Obsidian, has told Play that he would happily make Alpha Protocol 2

The revelation came after Play asked how he felt about Alpha Protocol’s mixed critical reception. “That’s a hard one. I think there were things in the game we could have done better. We’ve talked about how the cover system wasn’t the best. Would it have been better with no cover system, so we could focus on other things instead? There were certain things we did really well – the whole story, the characters, the branching.

“Perhaps it was not necessarily the job we did but there was something beyond the game – how it was represented or how it was sold or what people felt we promised them. Something went off-kilter there. So there’s another lesson to learn about communication.”

“I think there were things in the game we could have done better”

When asked if he’d ever go back and revisit old IP, Urquhart admits that he would happily make a sequel to the spy game. “Of course. We’re not making Alpha Protocol 2 but I would make Alpha Protocol 2. To do a job like this, sometimes you have to be optimistic, you have to look to the future and say ‘We can do better.’ And I always believe that.”

Yes, like not making it a piece of shit arrow-following cutscene-watching mole-popping piece of utterly dumbed down retard console shit.
tnx.

Of course. When you fuck up, it's because you failed to communicate your brilliance properly. Sounds like Obama.

 

[pocahaunted]

Please don't.

I like AP. And I think this is a very bad idea. AP has so much bad publicity associated with it, this would be suicidal. They should do something else instead.

We're not making a great game but we would make a great game

A colon tumour would be a better game than Alpha Protocol, how's that for communication.

Bring it on Obsidian. It will probably fail financially, but I will love you for it.

No point, story was finished in first game, makes more sense for a spiritual successor

What about G22 and Sis?

Beta Protocol : Alphaer

Story could easily have a continuation regarding what Mike does later. Also a prequel with Marburg/Albatros/Parker is easily possible.

Sure, why not try finishing the damn game this time. Oh sorry, Obsidian, I forgot.

Dont they have better titles to do?

This, but still would love to see AP2...

 

[1eyedking]

Dear God, no.

 

[Freelance Henchman]

FUUUUUUUUUUYYYYEEEAAAAAAHHHHH-

 

[janjetina]

They are already making it daily as they pull their pants down, sit on the toilet bowl and push.

 

[Achilles]

Dear God, YES! YES! YES! YEEEEEEEAAAAAAHHHHHH.

Fixed!

 

[DriacKin]

Fucking hell... What's next? Obsidian announcing Storms of Zehir 2?

Feargus would make Shit on a Plate: The RPG if a publisher gave him a big bag of money to do it. Beggars can't be choosers.

[KoboldKommando]

They should have a look into Velvet Assassin before even considering AP2.

Holy shit. YOU ARE A GENIUS.

Best new game idea ever:

You are cancer.

You begin as a single mutant cell. Your mission: Multiply and grow into a malignant tumour which kills your host, with extra points for pain inflicted, disability achieved, etc.

The challenge at first is to avoid being killed off by the body's immune system, and then as the game progresses you face increasing levels of difficulty as chemotherapy, radiation, and even outright surgery come at you. You have to think strategically when you decide where to expand - do you go straight for a major organ, or do you focus your efforts on long-term viability in case you are detected early?

This could be big, guys.
