No sequel for Alpha Protocol
Sega West president Mike Hayes has confirmed that due to less than stellar sales and review scores, there will be no sequel to Obsidian Entertainment's espionage RPG Alpha Protocol.
"Let's speak very commercially; the game hasn't sold what we've expected, therefore we won't be doing a sequel,"
Alpha Protocol had a Metacritic Score of below 70, also something that made it easier to decide not to make a sequel:"You know this whole thing with Metacritic where you have to be in the high 70s to mid-80s minimum [to have any success] - well, with RPGs you have got to be in the late 80s.
"Whilst we had a good game, I don't think we had a game that had enough to get us to that upper echelon and I think that was the issue.
"Again, the amount you need to invest to get there is so large because RPGs are naturally big projects. We've decided we won't do a sequel."
I wonder if that means Sega won't be investing in big RPG projects anymore for the ime being due to too high risk of failure. Sure sounds like it..."Whilst we had a good game, I don't think we had a game that had enough to get us to that upper echelon and I think that was the issue.
