Uncharted + Mass Effect + Fallout = Alpha Protocol

Obsidian and Sega are teaming up to bring espionage to the RPG with the visually gorgeous release of Alpha Protocol. Gameplayer has just gone live with an extensive look at what gamers can expect from the title. It includes quotes from the developer.

"Alpha Protocol promises to merge the pulsating action of games like Uncharted: Drake's Fortune with the deep, considered and player-defined character development of Mass Effect. As far as bringing together hot ideas, Obsidian could hardly have suggested two better points of comparison to get people salivating. However, this experienced developer is not simply walking in the footsteps of BioWare again."

Got to keep my eye on this one.

sunnygrg5797d ago

Here's to hoping Sega scores a hit, a sleeper hit.

IanTH5797d ago

That's quite a pedigree they have there. If they can cull the best parts from each game, make them strong/polished, integrate them all seamlessly while innovating slightly as to not have a case of the "feels to same-y" then they would have a massive success on their hands. Tall order? Yes, but all the greatest games are. I will be keeping an eye on this one too.

ShinMaster5797d ago

Since Naughty Dog announced that they'll continue the Uncharted franchise, here's hoping for an official Uncharted 2 announcement.

SlappingOysters5797d ago

Althogh Sony are being bloody quiet in the lead-up to E3

Maybe Liepzig for them.

Cynical-Gamerzus5797d ago

Whoa slow down there SEGA!!
Those are big ass names to compare to SEGA! and last time I checked Shenmue was the only thing that could blow away those games mentioned earlier!!!
So if you guys have 20-30 mill to spend on the next Shenmue by all means do so!!
I miss my old Sega..
But we need Ryu with Ninja skillz!!!
HE trains and becomes a ninja as well as kung fu expert and gets some fire power!!!

SlappingOysters5797d ago

Not only the way the gameplay sounds like playing out, but the screenshots look the good too.

tiropitas5797d ago

All the games the want to emulate is favorites of mine so this looks like a must have.

MK_Red5797d ago

I don't care about game. It's Obsidian, with the ex-Black Isle people so, their game IS on my most anticipated list no matter what it is.

Cool game though I hope it's less Uncharted and more Fallout. So far, the dialogue system and its depth seems really good.

Superfragilistic5797d ago

Yeah I've been watching this for a while now. Odsidian have chosen a theme that's rarely been used if ever in the RPG world and they've stripped back the stats to a more real time based levelling system. It's clear they're out to prove a point. EDGE did a great preview on it a while back and it looks fantastic.

MK_Red5797d ago

Good point about the theme. As for EDGE's preview, I gotta find it. I hate EDGE's reviews but their previews are spot on.

Superfragilistic5797d ago

Here you go:

There are others, particulary one from about three months back that spurred my interest but can't find it. :(

EDGE's is by far the best I've read recently though. It's nice to see Obsidian stepping up to the plate with their very own and very orignal IP.

MK_Red5797d ago

Thanks for the link and help. Bubbles for you my fried. Cool read.

Agreed on Obsidian. Finally making a game based on an original IP of its own. No NWN3 or KOTOR3. It's Obsidian's own personal game and world this time. Can't wait.

I just started playing Spec op. I've had it for years on steam and forgot about it. Such a good game.

EvertonFC84d ago (Edited 84d ago )

Fantastic game,.so underated

Cacabunga84d ago

Yes great game spec ops! Since the time we’ve been asking sony to make one:/

Auto Modelista.. a PS2 capcom racer!! A blast to play and great graphics!
Maximo!
Rival Schools!

LordoftheCritics83d ago

Spec Ops: The Line was super dark.

Incredible story.

SheenuTheLegend83d ago

all the games in the above list are bang on. this is the only reason we need backwards compatibility and physical presense of games for the upcoming future, no matter what.

Yi-Long84d ago

Honorable mention to the excellent Driveclub, one of the best racing games of all-time and one of my favourite games ever.

melons84d ago

yes! incredible rain effects; so good to drive along in rain with your Spotify playlist blaring

Skuletor84d ago

I really wanted a MotorStorm using the same engine, Driveclub is easily one of the best looking games on PS4 and I'm surprised they didn't even give it a PS4 Pro patch.

ravens5283d ago

Yes indeed. May just install it on my PS5. You know, physical copy and all.

monkey60283d ago

I adored Driveclub and the Bike expansion. I also loved Motorstorm. Evolution shutting down was a crime

Outrun Online Arcade, Sega Rally Online Arcade, After Burner Climax... all good stuff. I keep my 360 hooked up to play these as well as the TMNT games that were also delisted.

Skuletor84d ago

I have quite a few of these. Timed licenses suck.

Terry_B83d ago (Edited 83d ago )

wow...I have all of them except the Nintendo ones either in physical or digital version.

Also..Deadpool the Game is missing on that list.

Top 10 Xbox 360 Games That Need to be Backward Compatible

Kevin F. from Link Cable Gaming writes: "Many of the best Xbox 360 games are playable on the Xbox One and Series X|S consoles. Some even with some enhanced visuals and performance. Unfortunately, not every game from the Xbox 360 library has received this glorious feat of being able to be played on more modern Microsoft consoles."

Max Payne 3 needs to be on that list.

autobotdan1052d ago

The Spider-man games will never happen. The xbox 360 Marvel Ultimate Alliance games have a better chance of happening than Spider-man titles but won't happen. The Xbox One Ultimate Alliance games delisted years ago

Vits1052d ago

Yeah... you can totally forget about those entries that got delisted because of licensing issues. Those are not happening.

MetalProxy1052d ago

Wait everything isn’t BC? You guys act like it is lol

porkChop1052d ago

Almost all of the games people want to play are BC, and that's a hell of a lot better than having none available.

ApocalypseShadow1052d ago (Edited 1052d ago )

Almost all the games people want to play? Not true. Majority picks screw over the minority who have games collecting dust. Metal is right. Fans make it seem that it's all. 39/997 games from OG Xbox is NOT all. 568/2154 from 360 is NOT all. But you guys play it up like it is.

And from my count, there are 4,000+ PS4 BC games on PS5 that I see. And almost every VR game. Series X has no Kinect games or Kinect 2. But you played that up too. No more dancing.

As for the article, some of the BC games make sense. The others with Spider-Man aren't happening.
