"Alpha Protocol, Obsidian Entertainment's upcoming action RPG, is not 'leading' on the Xbox 360, as some have previously presumed. In fact, the game has no lead platform at all.

The game "is being developed for all [platforms] (PC, 360, and PS3) concurrently," Matthew Rorie, Obsidian's Marketing and PR Producer, divulged to PSU earlier today.

Infinity Ward took a similar route with Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, and all versions of the game were equal and polished. Infinity Ward was using its own engine for Modern Warfare, however, whereas Obsidian is utilizing Epic's Unreal Engine for Alpha Protocol, which "has a slower development on the PS3 side," according to The Last Remnant developers at Square Enix.

Rorie assured us that all "platforms should wind up seeing the game published on the same day later this year."

Definitely good to know.

That's good to hear I suppose but I don't know how much I trust the later this year comment.

Either that footage on the GTTV segment was REALLY old (and I'm assuming it's at least 2 months old) or that game was looking REALLY rough around the edges.  I don't think a single thing in that video actually look even mildly polished and I realize the game is in early development but if you're going to show something you would think they put their best foot forward.  I absolutely don't expect the footage shown to be perfect, what was shown just didn't leave a good taste in my mouth.

I want to like the game but then I remember how much of a buggy mess KotoR II was and the fact that after many hours of play I finally encountered a game ending bug that I couldn't get past (which was a shame since I was liking KotoR II up to that point).

I think it is better to lead on the ps3 so it will make it easier to than port the game on the 360 as developing for the ps3 can be difficult.

@twesterm - I also want to like the game, but the game looks kind of like a transition going from a PS2 game trying to get into the Next Gen graphics, but failing.

Don't get me wrong, the game looks nice, but from what we have as a stand point now, i.e. RE5 and Portal, just to name a couple of exclusives that do look like their Next Gen.

I guess I just want the game to do well, since I'm an RPG-esque kind of guy.

WTB few bugs =D

From looking at what he said he doesn't say anything about there not being a lead platform, just that the games would be released at the same time.

this happens only with people who want to deviate from the obvious path set for them... experimentation is always something you should do after you complete the game especially with Obsidian games, but to be fair NWN 2 is f'n awesome

I'm more interested in the concept of the game... Obsidian almost always makes a good looking game

That is good to hear Cueil!

I just watched the stuff on Qore.

Not too bad, but really rough.
