PLAY Mag reports:
''With one look at the screens for Alpha Protocol, you'd be forgiven for pegging its appearance as generic, before ignoring the game for the rest of eternity. In visual form, it ticks too many boxes under the 'average' category, but its blend of genres should make it stand out as a substantial offering among the masses of third-person action games. We revealed the game back in Play 165, but just in case you missed the skinny on Alpha Protocol, here's what we know.
Alpha Protocol is developed by famed RPG developer Obsidian, creator of Neverwinter Nights 2 and Knights Of The Old Republic II on the PC and Xbox. This spy-centric game is actually an action RPG, rather than an RPG in the traditional sense, so the entire experience will be in real-time, with peripheral role-playing elements enhancing the abilities of your character. There's no behind-thescenes, 20-sided dice deciding if you hit and miss your target. It's a genuinely action-based game, but it uses some of the RPG genre's staples to add depth and tension to the experience. Spy games have always warranted depth beyond firing sleeper darts, and swinging between buildings using a grappling hook; Alpha Protocol gives the premise a rare, worthy treatment.''
Alpha Protocol has sneaked its way back onto Steam as part of its Summer Sale, much to the surprise of a few loyal fans.
One of the few 7th gen game that I'll full heartedly support for a remake.
Its a very unique RPG and deserves its faults fixed the 2nd time.
I would be so for this. Alpha Protocol is the definition of a diamond in the rough. Before being acquired by Microsoft, Obsidian presented their ideas for a sequel, multiple times, but were always shot down. Even something simple like a remaster is very unlikely.
Still have a physical copy for my PS3. Clunky at times but I had a lot of fun with it back in the day.
Cultured Vultures: In the spirit of preserving some kind of history of this industry, we’ve decided to list some of the best games that you just simply can’t get hold of digitally at the minute.
I just started playing Spec op. I've had it for years on steam and forgot about it. Such a good game.
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!
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.
Honorable mention to the excellent Driveclub, one of the best racing games of all-time and one of my favourite games ever.
yes! incredible rain effects; so good to drive along in rain with your Spotify playlist blaring
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.
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.
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.
Many overlooked RPGs lie dormant in the catalogues of gaming, but players can pick up their swords and shields with these amazing JRPG hidden gems!
