With the release date approaching, it is no surprise to see April has brought some new images of Alpha Protocol. Action/RPG fans have until May 28 in Europe and June 1 in North America to get ready to become a spy.
Loakum @Driftwood Awesome! I’m loving it! It does show a much crisper picture and the frame rate looks good! I was playing Stella Blade and Dragonball Soarkling Blast! :) (4 Days ago)

However, doesn' look that good graphically, especially not aesthetically (seirously, can you come up with a more uninspired art style?) -- but then I can't say I expect a Unreal Engine 3 RPG -- also developed by an American studio -- to look good. ;p
The thing that worrys me is from what i've seen it seems to have a very erratic framerate..which, after an extra year of polish, isn't acceptable
And Nepton, Mass effect 2 uses the UE3 engine - nuff said
Yeah, some parts of Mass Effect 2 look great (alien character models, some texture work and environments), but from a technical stand point I don't see what's special about. It's actually quite flawed, too many small things that annoys me. And in a game that focus so much at close-ups conversations, it's just weird they didn't put more effort in the characters models (mostly mean the human characters now, including the one you're playing yourself). The hair on your own character just looked terrible, and yet there're only six haircuts or something to choose between. That's not acceptable imo.
Also, what I really don't like in western RPG:s (or many genres overall) is the lack of detail and personality in environments. There're so much empty places. I've seen some indoor environments from Alpha Protocol and it just looks really poor.
With that said, I don't mean that ME2 doesnt look great at times -- because it really does. I thought the city of Illium looked excellent.
But maybe the PC version looks better, haven't played it and can't tell if you're basing your opinons on that one.
Another thing, they have pushed this game so many times and then decided to release it around Splinter Cell, a game of mostly the same genre. This will epically fail, Im afraid.
