A look at Alpha Protocol, the 2010 espionage/RPG game which was met with mixed reviews. Also: a look at its use of facial hair.
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!
It was not overlooked....but ignored as reviewers harshly deducted marks for tolerable glitches.......It shows how multiple storyline should work......Obsidian should make a sequel and give some polish(as they showed that they can make a polished one in Dungeon Siege 3),i am certain AP has got the power to be genre defining Espionage game....
It's especially fun being Michael "Piss off everyone besides Sie and Steven Heck" Thornton and killing almost everyone else.
Maybe next time it won't lose 6 months of dev time!
I love Alpha Protocol. It had issues but Skyrim won game of the f***ing year with all of it's problems! Why is it okay to hate on 1 game for some glitches that weren't really that bad but praise another game and turn a blind eye to it's horrible, game breaking glitches?
Why do sub-par games always have apologist who try so hard to make you believe "It's not that bad, I liked it."? I mean I love Tango&Cash, but I know it's a dumb ass movie.
I loved it but that doesnt mean it didnt have problems. The stealth couldve been better, enemy ai was iffy, bosses sucked, and it needed more techie stuff (gadgets and whatnot) but the foundation for an outstanding franchise is there. The biggest problem is people were expecting splinter cell or a tps when it was a rpg. Shooting sucks until you put points in it then its fine. Most people didnt play enough to level up stealth, guns, get their apartment and see the choices play out. If they ever did a sequel they need the shooting and gameplay spot on from the start and make you get more powerful from leveling, not get better at certain tasks because it was uber clunky at first and first impressions are the most important.
