In a bit of rather shocking news (sarcasm?), SEGA has announced that their upcoming(?) title, Alpha Protocol, will be delayed from a Spring release to a Summer release. It was originally slated for an October 2009 release date but was delayed to a Spring 2010 release date and now a Summer 2010 release date. Before long it will be about as relevant as Splinter Cell: Conviction. According to MTV via Bigdownload, the game was being shown at an event this weekend and the company was told by the developers that the original delay was so the game could "be more polished." Apparently it needs more polish. “We had a few reasons for doing it. One: We wanted to position it better, give it a lot of time. The main reason: We really wanted to polish the game up, make it everything Obsidian planned it to be, and give the consumer a very polished game,” said Matthew Hickman, assistant producer at SEGA regarding the first delay. “We added a couple of other things. Tweaks in lighting here and there, added the inventory comparison screen so you can compare what you’re buying to what you have equipped. Just bringing the whole quality level up.” According to MTV, “graphics remain pretty raw and there seem to be AI issues still to be worked out." There you have it, folks. Share and Enjoy:  Read More →
