Yeah, this game is jank, buts also some of the best "pure choice" based storytelling in gaming. So much replay ability based on what you do, the order you do it, obviously the paths you take etc. Be a hero, be a psychotic jerk- it's all rewarding.

Biggest issue is the action gameplay, which isn't great- but if you want easy street for the combat- go the stealth pistol route, where you pretty much just cue up mega critical hit damage headshots from cover and steamroll everything from safety. My first playthrough was as a shotgun guy, and that was sooo NOT the way. Bosses were damn near impossible, but stealth-pistol boy just melts everything.

Top on my list of games that deserve a remake... Fuck just remaking games that were already good but just with prettier graphics, they should remake buggy games like this one that had a lot of incredibly cool stuff in it that deserves a second chance

 

[Soodanim]

I'm convinced just by the sheer amount of effort that went into getting this game back with improvements. Anything worth that much time has to be worth my money.

 

[Dazraell]

Already had it on Steam, but double dipped. Seems like GOG made a lot of cool improvements to made it more playable on modern hardware

 

[Shadowstar39]

Woah!
Awesome. I have it on ps3 disc, but always wanted it on pc, but it was gone off steam.
Wish it was steam for steam deck though.
Oh well I can still play via my pc or steamlink.
Thank you, will be buying asap.

This game was so underrated and got dinged by the "its not doing headshots" crowd who wanted a shooter not an rpg.

 

[Krathoon]

Yeah. I already have it, but I may get the gog version to have a convienient copy.

Did they patch it up?

Alpha Protocol has been in my Steam library for a while, but I never got around to it. But I always took note of the cult following the game had, even years later. Thankfully, I can redownload it whenever I want on Steam, and I'm happy I was able to snag it for very cheap before the game got delisted, which I don't like seeing happen to good games (or even just interesting games like AP).

So the fact that there was a push to get Alpha Protocol back in circulation on at least one platform in GOG makes me want to get it. The fact that this re-release has a lack of DRM and some extra work put into it with things like modern compatibility is a fine bonus. Cheers to game preservation.

 

[Krathoon]

Didn't the original CD version have some kind of annoying DRM on it that you had to crack?

I remember something about that.

 

[RavageX]

Bought already. Missed it when it was new back in the day, and it is right up my alley.

 

[ranmafan]

Would get, but it’s not available in Japan. Oh well, at least I still have it on PS3.

 

[xrnzaaas]

Really great initiative. I'll buy it when I'll actually have some time to replay it.

 

[Drew1440]

Good to see it back on digital storefronts, might be time to do another playthrough.

I loved this game. Would love a remake but not by modern Obsidian, someone else, with better animations, AI, stealth mechanics.

remake is not needed. they are a waste of time and money.

remake is not needed. they are a waste of time and money.

Would you like it better if they made a sequel and called it: ‘Syphon Filter’?
