MyGaming's Tarryn van der Byl writes: "Although gamers assume that gaming journalists spend most of our time sitting around playing free games in our undies and cashing big cheques from publishers for favourable reviews, the biggest part of the job is actually writing about games that haven’t even come out yet. Or, in some cases, never turn up at all, despite all that time and effort we’ve put into telling everybody about them."
Leaked source code for Rockstar Games' GTA V appears to have revealed the protagonist of the now canceled Agent.
A rare interview from the former GTA and Red Dead Redemption writer and executive producer.
Interesting to know.
Among MGS4, Agent was the reason I wanted and bought a PS3. (Who knew we would get other gems like Killzone 2 and TLoU.)
I always assumed it got cancelled due to hardware restrictions even at that time.
Such a shame, I remember first reading about it in official playstation magazine, Agent and The Getaway are the two cancelled games I wish I could play 😩
Because it had to be open world, of course. Couldn't change that and make the Agent game work otherwise. Totally buying it.
I used to laugh whenever I'd see someone cite Agent as a game to look forward to, because it was never officially canceled (at least, as far as I've seen.)
"It's still real to me, dammit!"
As a wise man once said: what be will, be will, and sometimes games just get canceled, whether it’s due to publisher meddling, a lack of funds or the creative vision simply not panning out.
Eight Days for me
Really would have enjoyed a buddy cop game with a Lethal Weapon like tone.
The only one that really bothered me was when Sony wouldn't fund Days Gone 2. That announcement made me literally feel nauseous. I felt sick in the guts. That's the first time Sony had done something that actually physically hurt me lol. I'm still bummed that there won't be a Days Gone 2.
I would have loved the getaway 3! The original is still one of my favourite PS2 titles
I wonder whatever happened to Agent; maybe it has been postponed for next-gen?
Hmmm...not sure why the poster of this article used the challenger explosion as the image header. I mean I get why but thinks it's kinda sucky...:/
The list missed out The Grinder as well. That looked like an awesome game. the Wii's answer to Left4Dead. There were gameplay videos and everything, I couldn't wait to play it and now years later nothing has come of it.
