No sequel
as much as it sucks, SEGA has announced that they will not be making a sequel. its kind of old news by now but still sucks. lets hope another company picks it up and makes this the game it should have been.
shareI can't help but feel that money exchanged hands and many reviewers were paid off to bad mouth the game as much as possible. I've played through it 3 times and while it's not a perfect game (show me one that doesn't have at least ONE flaw somewhere) it had a lot of potential. In fact after playing and reading some reviews many of them seemed like the reviewer hadn't even played the game past the first 10 minutes if at all. Mass Effect was a rough game. But at least it got a face lift and a second (and third) chance. Perhaps if Alpha Protocol had been bankrolled by EA instead of Sega there would be a sequel too.
It sucks because it would have been really cool to carry over the choices you made in the first one. And there were plot points that seem to disappear that I have yet to find a way to explore. It definitely deserves a sequel but with the thrashing it got in the reviews and the resulting bad sales it probably won't get a chance.
i too loved the game and i greatly enjoyed it. yes it was pretty buggy but i could look past that. the game and GREAT potential. it delivered on the choice part. and the gameplay and story kept me entertained. but i do feel that if a different company had backed it and the developers spent more time to make it longer and maybe make it to where you could have a completely different story depending on how you play, it could have easily taken a game of the year or something. lets hope it gets an overhaul and keeps everything that made it good sometime in the future.
shareSega doesn't have the rights to AP anyway. Obsidian can make a sequel if they can get another publisher to back it. Of course that's highly unlikely but it's still better than no chance at all.
shareNo, SEGA own Alpha Protocol. Chris Avellone outright said this.
So sezeth I, so sezeth the world.
