Apparently, the game was bounced around for years internally over at RockStar. It wasn't until earlier this year, though, that Rockstar pitched the idea to Sony execs, who loved the idea behind it and decided to make it a PS3 exclusive.
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.
Sounds like the concept is well thought out then... but if they just started developing it, that probably means we won't see it 'til 2011-2012 at the earliest...
Am I the only one that just doesn't think this game sounds all that interesting? 70's secret agents is just... blah, reminds me of Charlie's Angels or something.
Hopefully Agent turns out to be a great franchise like GTA
hopefully better than GTA4
i just hope it has a good story line, in addition to great gameplay.
gta sucks imo because of the horrible story line.
i hope this is released soon. it;s already too late i guess but the more time they take, the more fun it's gonna be.
