After multiple delays and hardly a peep from Obsidian Entertainment, it’s probable that you’ve already forgotten about Alpha Protocol, the upcoming “Espionage RPG” from the developers of KOTOR II, Neverwinter Nights 2, and Fallout: New Vegas. Let’s rekindle some lost interest with a new trailer, featuring plenty of gunplay and what looks like a showdown between two of the game’s key characters:
Alongside the fighting, it’s clear that we’ll also be getting tons of dialogue via the game’s Dialogue Stance System, which lets the player decide between a Jack Bauer response (Renegade), a Jason Bourne response (Paragon), or a James Bond response (Morrigan/Horny). Sounds familiar.
Protocol’s Bauer/Bond/Bourne doesn’t deliver the “I’m going to kill you” line quite as good as Arnie, but it’ll do for now. Expect it to garrote your free time on June 1st.

Unfortunately, that looks pretty bad. Bugger…
But i will still try it.
At 1:26 we get what all fans of espionage gaming has been clamoring for…Metal Gear Solid versus Splinter Cell!
Obsidian's stuff tends to be technically average but their writing is probably the best in the business. Looking forward to this though it's a shame you're only given the option of being James Bond and not Xenia Onatopp.
