Preview: 'Alpha Protocol'



Very worthy of the world is scared espionage, which was set up, Alpha Protocol is at stake slipped the radar image in circles. Developed by Follow the obsidian entertainment, the game offers interesting tips RPG based espionage today. In addition, players are thrown into a truly interactive world where every election that really are life and death, at least someone. So Digital Spy Special Briefing entered the room with obsidian producing programming Nathan Davis sneak a peak at a beta build of this exciting new.

In The Game, players take the role of Michael Thornton, which was originally part of the Office of alpha from rogue. The Game focuses on four main hub locations - Taipei, Rome, Moscow and Saudi Arabia - which can be played in any order and ignoring their free time. Instead of an open world approach the various tasks have been launched in SAFEHOUSE, which also offers many other functions, which we discuss later. The most important aspects of The Game, while the rest of the world and is the view of the reactive approach to more access to each interaction.

Our demo begins Thornton reaches Moscow office Grigori interrogate hardened Russia, which is a source of some heavy weapons Intel. Investigation of non-playable characters (NPC), includes use of The Game drives in an interview. The choice between non-specific phrases, the conversation includes a system for a different approach, based on three JBS - James Bond (suave), Jack Bauer (aggressive) and Jason Bourne (professional). If you play The Game is real, that the players have only one stab at any NPC conversation, but the demo to be useful to see how it differs from the Leader of access to different results.

Grigori Thornton as addresses, about the three options appear on the screen must be selected before the expiry of the timer (or most recently auctioned is elected). After performing aggressive approach (or what Davis calls "supreme cock Mike) Thornton Grigori slap on the head of the bar, then the request for information to Russia that gives the name of Sergei Surkov. Thornton May had the intelligence he wanted, but it has come at the expense of the other by the man who has other ramifications. As a result, Grigori May. Warn others thorny attitude Thornton May and then react accordingly in future interactions.

Taking the soft style Bond makes quite a different reaction Grigori. After reading Nicey-with Russia, Thornton is the same name as before, but also requested that "accidentally" divert a shipment of ammunition from the train station in Leningrad in Grigori hands. So that part of a military mission that was not offered by the aggressive approach. In a pleasant, before finishing the conversation thanks to Grigori Thornton was not an "idiot like other agents, adding that he had come to him as a human being must be" rewarded "

If the business is different from all the responses would be restored. It is a question of encouraging players to a mechanic to evaluate the parties in accordance with the NPC, and then respond to this information. Sometimes this can be an advantage for the other symbols of their own behavior, but it can also be a good thing "really angry, as it can take advantage of a situation. After all, nothing says" cooperation ", such as the shape of a bottle of vodka. With characters also linked to the image, which disturb the impression of people, or reduce or increase the quality of each player. Essentially, each option has a "certain degree of effect, which should be considered accordingly.

After each mission, and return to the dialogue SAFEHOUSE Thornton, which is essentially lint pad espionage accoutrement. This includes a computer terminal, which allows access to e-mail system, which responds to events / actions in the game like everyone else. Reply email has three main options for the selection - a short, friendly and snarky - with players able to read the response before sending. For example, a message of Thornton's manager, or all, I ask if they know the password to lock the server. After the selection of snarky response, Thornton contends that the password is M1LFLuv3r. However, I do not see the funny side, which leads to a loss of reputation.
