https://www.gog.com/en/news/alpha_protocol_is_back_drmfree_for_modern_pcs_watch_the_documentary_video_on_the_process_of_its_revival is the actual announcement. And the Raycevick sponsored video is 100% worth watching as it very much acknowledges… Alpha Protocol is probably a bad game but it is still fascinating. And then pivots into a strong push for the preservation aspects of things.
Which is a stark contrast to the way that the usual “I downloaded the latest AAA game because i want to preserve it” pisses on the efforts.
Also, bonus points, Raycevick managed to get THE Matt Rorie to talk for like two minutes on his greatest contribution to society and gaming.
Here’s the video.
Renowned Fighting Scientist Matt Rorie?!
I don’t think he was ever a fighting scientist. That was Dr. Gerstmann, Dr. Oestreicher, and associate Pack.
The amount of my life that I have confused Jason and Matt is almost insufferable. I accept what a terrible person I am.
Genuinely excited to see Alpha Protocol available for sale again after all this time. Was not expecting to see it on the front page of GOG. It is such an interesting game, even if it isn’t, strictly speaking, a good game.
Absolutely massive potential, but the bugs are more funny than game breaking in my experience.
I’ll always remember trying to get a no spot completion on a mission, reloading, and then every guard just not loading in.
You know what, game? I’ll take your pity glitch. Pride is a weakness.
They really need to rework/remaster that game
Sure, but the original must be available too.
They should do No One Lives Forever next.
I’ve had this on steam for ages but forgot about it, doesn’t look like a remaster so I’ll try it there first.
