Alpha Protocol delayed to summer 2010? News

PC Xbox 360 PlayStation 3
News by Robert Purchese

28 September, 2009

SEGA's spy role-playing game Alpha Protocol may launch next summer instead of this October according to US retailers.

GameStop and Amazon both recently updated their listings to a June 2010 launch.

Amazon UK carries no date for the game, and most other regional outlets still list 30th October.

SEGA has declined to comment.

Developed by Obsidian Entertainment, Alpha Protocol follows the life of spy Michael Thorton, who can swagger or swear his way through a twisting and turning tale, bedding saucy sources along the way.

Once penned for Q1 2009, the PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 game has only recently taken proper shape after a bout of summer previews - Eurogamer's coverage included.

Maybe they can make it look less bland in the meantime. It might play great but it looks like generic action game.

At least during the summer it will help keep us Proto-cool?

I have this pre-ordered on steam so i can't even cancel my pre-order :(

I think i'll have to get Risen instead, it out the 2nd of October on steam.

Anyone get the feeling they're a little shaken by the "not an RPG" lack of faith displayed by SCE last week? Shove it into steroidal development for 6 months - brush up the graphics, tweak the gameplay... Shit themselves when Mass Effect 2 comes out and raises the bar way above Mass Effect 1 (which AP is probably on a par with and clearly "borrows" some conversation/semi-customisable character idea/gameplay mechanics from)?

Yet another title I was looking forward to delayed. This really is the year of delays.

Lik e Shigeru said, "If you rush a bad game out. It is a bad game forever".

I look forward to their new iteration, even if it takes 6 more months. It's not like this is Duke Nukem forever is it? :)
