Despite receiving some bad reviews from critics, the guys at Obsidian want to make an Alpha Protocol 2. While Obsidian wants to try and redeem themselves in Sega’s eyes, Sega won’t allow them to do it.
Obsidian CEO Feargus Urquhart had this to say in an interview with Play…
“We’re not making Alpha Protocol 2 but I would make Alpha Protocol 2. To do a job like this, sometimes you have to be optimistic, you have to look to the future and say ‘We can do better.’ And I always believe that.”
“I think there were things in the game we could have done better,. We’ve talked about how the cover system wasn’t the best. Would it have been better with no cover system, so we could focus on other things instead? There were certain things we did really well – the whole story, the characters, the branching.
Perhaps it was not necessarily the job we did but there was something beyond the game – how it was represented or how it was sold or what people felt we promised them. Something went off-kilter there. So there’s another lesson to learn about communication.”
So I guess if anyone wants a sequel, they’ll just have to try and convince Sega that it’s in demand.
