Alpha Protocol Preview

The first of what will most likely be a handful of new Alpha Protocol previews is up at G4, courtesy of the demonstration SEGA is giving during this week’s Game Developers Conference.

Alpha Protocol is full of these types of interactive sequences and reaction segments based on prior deeds. Whether you interrogate or sympathize with a character is up to you, including exercising your license to kill by outright executing them. Choice is more than a dialog tree option though. Players can choose to specialize in a variety of ways, including stealth, weapon trees that open up key skills for your guns, martial arts and more. However, for those that simply want to grab a gun and run through the game as an action title, there’s that option. For an RPG nerd like myself, I’ll be mucking around in skill trees and inventory until the wee hours of the night. If you prefer a non-violent path, there’s even an option to play the game with entirely non-lethal hand-to-hand combat moves…but no one said it would be easy!
