Alpha Protocol photo depository thread
KvP:
So according to yon internets, the first published review of AP has been released via the Spanish mag Playmania. Here's the (translated) summary:
--- Quote --- * Graphics -> 80 - The exteriors are not so bad but the models and their animations are far from perfect.
* Sound -> 90 - Appropriate soundtrack.
* Diversity -> 89 - Even though it's the same game, there are many possibilities when it comes to customizing your character and deciding how to play.
* Duration -> 90 - The replayability factor is really high. You can play Alpha Protocol a lot of times without experiencing the same adventure.
* Overall -> 88 - A spy role playing game that succeeds in blending action with stealth and gives players a high degree of freedom in choosing how they want to proceed.
The Best parts of Alpha Protocol -> The freedom to choose how you want to acoplish your objectives and a great decision making system.
The Worst parts of Alpha Protocol -> Outdated graphics and basic AI.
--- End quote ---
Given that AP is not being pushed by a major publisher and it looks dated, I figure 88 is probably going to be the best they can hope for in reviews. The 90's are generally reserved for Event games nowadays.
Storm Rider:
Sega's not a major publisher? Still, I agree that the inevitable graphics criticism will probably hurt the Metacritic score considerably. I'm guessing it'll be in the 75-80 range. Whatever, I put so little stock in Metacritic that I couldn't give a shit.
KvP:
A new, fairly spoiler-y trailer.
KvP:
Interactive "Choose Your Own Adventure"-style trailer. Fairly smart gimmick. Spoiler-y, or so I'm told.
KvP:
Word on the street is that Gamersgate may have broken street date on pre-orders. Becaus I'm a nut I got a pre-order and indeed, they give you a serial #. We'll see if that translates to actual gaming in about an hour and a half!
