"We've historically been very much in the men-in-tights genre, a lot of guys running around in [sic] broadswords. But now we're looking at a broader genre," said Sony Pictures Digital boss Yair Landau about subsidiary Sony Online Entertainment in February. "We've started to immerse ourselves in the world of espionage... We think it's okay if you have MMOs where you wear tuxedos and carry a silencer, not just tights and a mace."
The game to which Landau was referring, The Agency, was announced today for PC as well as PlayStation 3, a system that has so far had only a small few massively multiplayer announcements. In May, SOE held a Gamer Day event at which it unveiled the game with members of its SOE Seattle development team. Though no hands-on coverage was given, with the game not expected to ship until at least next year, Shacknews was able to get a sense of the game' fundamental concepts and goals from lead designer Hal Milton.
DefaultPrime writer Mike Patuleia takes a stroll down memory lane, looking at some PlayStation titles gone to the wayside that Sony should take a second look at bringing back into the fold with the advent of the PlayStation 4.
I'd like to see a Legend of Dragoon which features some flying, as well as some other things, but that's just me.
Heavenly Sword is always a given when these lists pop up.
I'd like to see a new Lair. That game could've been better than Drakengaurd (did is spell that right?), had it not been for the poor execution. But i know Sony wouldn't allow it.
Game was an unpolished gem. We'll prolly never see another game like it.... what a shame.
I would of prefered if Nariko would of somehow returned for the sequel, but you make a great point and I too would love to see a new protagonist.
Junkie Monkeys: With the PlayStation 4 set to release later this year we take a look at PlayStation 3 titles that should release on the PlayStation 4 instead.
my suggestion are these games; syphon filter, medievil, Lifeforce Tenka, G-Police, and wipeout
dark cloud 3
parappa reboot(platformer)
the legend of dragoon(probably the most requested sequel game)
jak 4
GOS: "As expected, Sony updated the Playstation Store today but what awaited me while I was browsing could either be a mistake on their part or an unintentional leak."
IF it is back on then great. I mean, even if it is not an MMO maybe it could make a great multiplayer esque FPS experience, maybe be a bit like Borderlands.
For this game. Want to this how this game looks before I buy it.
The pictures seem to remain at PS2 level, I think.
Can't wait to see more of this title.
