Alpha Protocol

Is every video game ever going to be delayed until 2010? Looks that way: The rumor is Sega's Alpha Protocol has been pushed back. GameStop has pushed AP's expected launch date to 6/1/2010, with Amazon Canada also showing a 2010 release. The secret-agent-based game is being developed by Obsidian, and was originally slated to be released in early October.

spoke to Obsidian head Feargus Urquhart back in March, and here's how he described AP:

"Alpha Protocol is doing really well. It’s great to be able to make a game like that. In my past, I’ve done D&D, done Fallout, I’ve done a bunch of different stuff, but something I hadn’t really had a chance to do is something more modern day. There’s been Deus Ex and things like that, but not many people have really tried to take RPG and put it in modern day, so it’s been interesting. It’s been challenging, but in a good way. Trying to figure out how to make “fireball” work, in a spy game, with Jason Bourne. That’s been an interesting part of it. It’s a big project and that’s great for the studio, because we learn how to manage these big projects, and getting to use Unreal 3 has been good, so it’s going really well.

Sounds like a great game, does it not?

I've put in a call to Sega for confirmation, but I haven't heard back.... If they'll speak with me on the record, I'll let you know what's up. Until then, take this rumor with a grain of salt.

    Dammit how many games are going to be pushed back? half of the Ps3 lineup and a ton of Multiplats so far.

    Brutal Legend, Saboteur, Dragon Age are the only titles left this year that I'm actually sorta excited about.

    Why do I have a feeling this is delayed because the ps3 is hard to program for? That and/or companies waiting for the economy to get better.

    Well I've got plenty of gaming to keep me busy for a while between the new GTA IV DLC, GH: Van Halen, The Sabatouer (sp), and the Metroid Trilogy.

    I think this could be exactly what the game needed. To me it looked like the game was being rushed and this extra development time could put a nice level of polish on it. Plus this title probably would have been lost in the holiday rush and I think that would have suck because it sounds interesting.

    Meh. It was on my radar but it wasn't a day one purchase for me, to many good games coming out in the next couple of months.

    While I am REALLY looking forward to this game, there's no denying that the 10/29 date that Gamefly has had listed for quite some time is not real good for me since I've got Brutal Legend (10/13) and Dragon Age: Origins (11/3) both on preorder. The fact Sega still has this game listed for next week (10/6) on their website and there's been absolutely no news for quite some time is quite a bit troubling honestly....

    Surprise, surprise another game pushed back. I am never listening to release dates again. What are we at like 20 games now that have been pushed back to next year?
