by mskalis on Oct.06, 2009, under Gadgets, Media, Retailers, Video Games
While Sega of America’s public relations team still hasn’t said one word regarding an increasingly inevitable delay, Sega of America’s website has finally declared that Alpha Protocol will not begin its mission until 2010. The site displays the Xbox 360 and PC launches for May 6, 2010, while the PS3 version has been left at “Spring 2010.” This is a not-so-slight change from what the publisher’s website showed this morning, when the release information stated the espionage RPG was “out now” — a strange pronouncement for frustrated consumers, venting on developer Obsidian’s forums , and retailers we’d spoken to. Sega’s update now fits with what several retailers have suggested about a 2010 release, including GameStop , Walmart, Amazon and GameFly .

With Sega still refusing to respond to inquiries about Alpha Protocol ’s release date, it seems retailers are doing the talking for ‘em: GameFly has changed its release date of “the espionage RPG” from October 27th to TBD. The video game rental site has a long-standing history to “simply post information as it is supplied to [GameFly] by the publishers.” Further requests for clarification from Sega continue to be met by the Sega Wall of Silence[TM]. We have been told by the company’s development director that we should expect “an update shortly via PR.” And for the record, the official release date for Alpha Protocol is still next Tuesday .

So, in case it wasn’t made absolutely clear by the box art, here’s what Obsidian Entertainment’s head-slammin’ Alpha Protocol isn’t : The Overwrought Fantasy RPG The Contemplative Neo-Classical RPG The Effervescent Dating RPG The Number One Best Selling RPG An Espionage RPG That Other Game About The Secret Agent and Stuff Joking aside, it’s quite likely that we’re simply oblivious to the subtitle’s significance to the plot — the one involving a sneaky rocket-propelled grenade that taps your phone and then blows off your ear.

We’re just gonna come right out and say it: July 2009 may be the worst month for new retail releases ever. Unless you like 2D fighters that is, because in that case, it’s awesome. Or games about movies about hamsters, those two groups are being really well serviced. If you haven’t fully prepared yourself for the horror, we’d suggest you gird your mind with all the reason and clarity you can muster before continuing on
