Alpha Protocol is a contender, non the less. However, with such heavy holiday competition, it needs the cutting edge tools to impressive potential buyers; seeing that it’s a freshman in the presents of senors. With that said, SEGA has revealed that Alpha Protocol has stepped back into the shadows, and that it won’t release this year.
The reason behind its delay, is to fulfill its “AAA potential,” states SEGA of America’s President Masanao Maeda. “Since the inception of Alpha Protocol, Sega has recognized the potential for the game to establish itself as an AAA title,” said Maeda. “We’ve worked in conjunction with Obsidian Entertainment in making the decision to move Alpha Protocol’s ship date to spring 2010 to ensure that we have the best game possible at launch.”
We think that it’s great that their not rushing the Alpha Protocol out the door. However, this means that there’s one more game that we won’t be playing by Christmas. Alpha Protocol is, now, do out in “Spring 2010″, which is more then enough time for them to fulfill its “AAA potential”.
Well, on one hand, I'm ticked that AP won't be out this October, but than again, since I didn't pre-order it, who cares. However, this is an interesting move from Sega and Obsidian. Sega has been accussed from time to time for allegedly rushing their titles to meet a specific deadline.
