Gamespot writes: "The game is the mystery title announced in 2007 by Rockstar North, developer of the Grand Theft Auto series. Ben Feder, president of Rockstar parent Take-Two Interactive, believes the game could achieve the same level of success, given its development is being overseen by Rockstar North founders Sam and Dan Houser.
We think this has the potential to be yet another great Rockstar North franchise title….It's the Houser Brothers and Rockstar North. It's the A team working on an AAA title. I think the subject matter, the characters, the story, the environment, the background--all the elements are there. It's such a rich environment to play in."
No game proves how quickly things can change in terms of ethos at a studio quite like Agent.
Rockstar's game outpost has steadily declined since HD console gaming started . Hell, they were releasing new games every year since the PS2 launched, up to the start of the 7th gen.
It appears that the first screenshots for Rockstar's canceled spy game, Agent, have been leaked online.
I thought this got cancelled then rolled into LA Noir
Also, does anyone remember the feature they were supposed to have where you received a text in the game it came to your actual mobile phone?
I've already seen quite a few of these years ago. But still, it's a shame it was cancelled. Hopefully one day we'll get another globetrotting spy thriller. Maybe MS can get the rights to Alpha Protocol from Sega, or have Obsidian make a spiritual successor.
Could this mean yet another IP being ignored by Take Two
The fact that it has been this long and was intended to be a PS3 title pretty much is all you need to confirm it is not happening.
I think the writer is "a little late" if they are wondering on if Rockstar is ignoring the Agent game announcement. Anyone waiting this long for the game have gone to college, got married and had kids. It's not an IP if there wasn't any game released.
It's just another reminder of an announcement that went nowhere. Same as Deep Down, 8 Days, Killing Day, The Getaway, etc.
If it ever shows up, it would be the surprise of the year. But I wouldn't bother holding your breath.
Hope they release a trailer, soon
I think this is the most information I've heard about this game... Sony should have either added a trailer with the announcement or waited to announce it when they had a trailer to show.
they said theAgent is set in late 70's right?
wasn't LAnoir set in 40/50's "D!ckTracy" style?
LOL i couldn't type d!ck tracy lol
is huge. The Houser Bros + Rockstar North + PS3 Hardware + Sony support = Huge Game.
So what exactly is this gonna be like? GTA Hitman or somethin?
