Alpha Protocol: 'Very Much An RPG'

NowGamer: Obsidian Entertainment is 'trying to get the message out' about its upcoming action game

With Sega's espionage action thriller Alpha Protocol due out in October, the game's developers have stressed that while it looks very much a third-person action game, there's more to it than screenshots may initially convey.

Asked how conscious the studio is of gamers wiewing it simply as a shooter, Obsidian programming producer Nathan Davis, said: "If you just look at the game from a screenshot or something, it'll look good but you'll miss out on that RPG mechanic. So we're trying to get the message out that this is an RPG and everything is dependant on the RPG stuff… it's crazy reactive."
