Alpha Protocol has FOUR Sex Scenes!

[<subject name here>]

You know why Alpha Protocol will be better than any rpg ever made ever? MOAR SEX!

But what about the sex? After witnessing a flirtatious exchange between the game's male hero and the blonde commando lady Z who wielded a big machine gun and a visible bra, I inquired about romance possibilities. I was told we can expect as many as four love scenes. I inquired how they compare to Mass Effect's infamous sex scenes. They're on a spectrum, I was told, one of them being "pretty racy." Oh, and pretty "unexpected" too, in terms of when it happens and the "choices you make in it?" Sounds like an interactive sex scene, but the Sega producer said I might be getting the wrong idea. He didn't want to give more away.

Obsidian sure does know their target audience.
There's other stuff too, but it's not nearly as interesting cuz there's no sex involved.

Key decision points trigger auto-saves, in a manner similar, of all tings to the immediate saving of the Fire Emblem series. Dialouge and mission choices are designed to enforce consequences on players, though the path those choices might lead is intended to be obscured by what Sega is promising to be a more varied spectrum of moral alignments by its characters.

I'm not really a fan of the whole "auto-save before important shit" idea, because it totally gives away when important shit pops up. And it doesn't punish the player enough. :twisted:
The consequences sound good, but we won't know if this is just hype until the game's released. But knowing the gaming industry, it's probably hype.

Some of the dialogue sequences will be so lengthy that there are missions unto themselves. The Sega producer described them to me as interrogations that could last 10-15 minutes, full of choices not just about what to say but whether to, perhaps, hit the person being interrogated with a bottle. In the interrogation described, violence squeezes accurate information out, but causes the player's victim to alert his friends and make a subsequent mission harder. Being smoother with the same guy will allow the player to make a pay-off and face lesser opposition later.

OH SNAP DATS SUM REEL CHOICE AND CONSEQUENCE RIGHT THUR!
I really hope there's more to it than that.

Sounds more like it autosaves after you make the choice, preventing you from reloading to just try everything out in one playthrough. Of course, theres no way to know yet whether it'll have any real impact in the game further down the line than the next 20 minutes or so. Especially since most next gen games are painfully short on content.

[Silellak]

I am having sex with a video game right now. It was pretty overhyped.

I know you're not going to believe this, but I'm no one's alt.

I would know if I had played any Fire Emblem games, but I haven't. I'm just assuming that the auto-save comes before the important event. But I may be wrong.

So, there's teh suprise secks?

My guess is Lady Z sticks her "big gun" someplace in the PC "unexpected"...

But then, Obsidian fans should be used to that by now.

Obsidian fans are used to watching vg characters take it in the ass?

Mass Effect had only one! See - Obsidian isn't copying it.

Does anyone still believe that this game won't be a retard friendly crap with bad gameplay?
Not really surprising considering that "consequences" boil down to receiving a cooler armor/having a tougher fight or not.

The Sega producer described them to me as interrogations that could last 10-15 minutes

What a load of PR bullshit. A console shooter where you don't blow shit up every 3 minutes?

Also can anyone tell me why this crap is still considered a RPG?

 

[Spectacle]

Only four!? I'm not interested anymore.

 

[Dark Matter]

Meh, I'll just watch them on youtube.

 

[Genma:TheDestroyer]

But does one of them involve a goat?


If not, it doesn't qualify as 'The New Shit'. Sorry.

Who said anything about bad gameplay? Combat could be fun...



Maybe.

Yeah, it should have 9001 different possible sex scenes! The ones you get are based on what choices you make during the game!

 

[Hoaxmetal]

Usual pornography flick has four or five sex scenes too, they're keeping up with big brother.

Meh, I'll just watch them on youtube.

They will be too hardcore for jewtube, try redtube instead.

 

[kris]

Only four? I thought they promised more.

 

[Hoodoo]

100% serious

Maybe.

Did you see combat videos? Combat is exactly like the terrible cover-shoot-cover-shoot from Mass Effect. Except enemies don't even react when you shoot a guy 5 meters from them.

 

[DriacKin]

Only four? I thought they promised more.

I agree. The Witcher had at least like 5 times that.
This is what happens when you make games for the console market. You get dumbed down games with only 4 sex scenes.

 

[Jaime Lannister]

only 4? weak

 

[aweigh]

only 4? weak

hah

 

[Dickweed]

Finally, an RPG that can satisfy all four of my dicks.
