You have a point, but could you imagine Agent and GTA 5 both launching in the fall? Or, even crazier, Agent hitting the PS3 in 2014?

Well the things is: I'm not excluding the chance of it being an "exclusive" for both active PS consoles (in production), just going after the notion of it not being possible to release as a PS3 game.

"Or, even crazier, Agent hitting the PS3 in 2014?"

Given Sony's and third-parties' dedication to the PS2 after 3 released, I wouldn't consider it to be THAT crazy of an idea.

Note: If a term like "cross-gen exclusive" for x/y consoles is coined in the near future, you can pinch me. :P

@coolbean just because it was announced doesn't mean they were developing the game because if anyone remembers sorcery for the ps move,what we saw was just a playable proof of concept .

The question of the game's existence was once again asked about at an around the table question forum after the PS4 was revealed to Shuhei Yoshida, to which he answered

"You are asking the wrong person. I have some knowledge, but I'm not in a position to talk about it."

Reference: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/w...

At this point I think this will be a PS4 Title given the structure of R*'s pipeline and release time frames. Given that Shuhei knows about it I'd say R* is ready to finally show it off.

Read the link provided in my 2nd comment. R* admitted in Q + A's of Agent being in active development in both 2010 and 2011.

"...because if anyone sorcery for the ps move,what we saw was just a playable proof of concept ."

I don't see how that's a rational counter-argument.

@coolbean My comment was more of a counter that the game had a high development cost as there was no release date just an announcement,sorcery was just an example,there was a stage demo but the game came out like two years later and had a different art style.

Rockstar arent the only Developer 2K own and i doubt Rockstar would let 2K announce the're game for them.

I'm still trying to rack my brain about the point you're trying to get across. I mentioned the probability of high dev costs to put into perspective why it seems a tad silly to think this might not be a PS3 game at all.

Sorcery as an example doesn't really mirror this situation either: it's a first-party developed game and launched at a $40 price point, showing it certainly wasn't a big-budget title like Agent promises to be.

@coolbean My point was how can you factor in price of it being high or going multiplat when there was no gameplay shown just an announcement?secrecy was an example because it was playable on stage but the game development didn't start until after the unveiling and the link you've provided shows rockstar and Sony have a good relationship so I find it hard to believe that rockstar couldn't make a game efficiently on the ps3/4 unless their game is very ambitious in scope. I don't think their will be a difference in cost from first party and third other then what they are trying to do with the game.

My guess is that AGENT is a VITA title.

Recently they said a major game was coming to the Vita that we'd sink many hours into. I think this is it. Vita/PS3 cross play seems to make the most sense here to me. And I thought i read somewhere that rockstar was working on vita games.

i can see PS4 is all over the place

"My point was how can you factor in price of it being high or going multiplat when there was no gameplay shown just an announcement?"

In regards to price: have you still bothered to look at Agent's wikipage I linked above? Take-Two's former CEO recognized Agent as an AAA title (meaning budget) years ago.

In regards to multiplat: I can then SPECULATE why it's more feasible to believe the title would look to release on PS3 at some time given the chance to make more money from the current userbase.

"... I find it hard to believe that rockstar couldn't make a game efficiently on the ps3/4 unless their game is very ambitious in scope."

Well it's been called "ambitious in scope" from the beginning so there you go.

"I don't think their will be a difference in cost from first party and third other then what they are trying to do with the game."

And now you lost me again. :/

A groundbreaking sports IP?

This I have to see.

^^^ A NFL2K game or any football game as a matter of fact from 2K would be groundbreaking actually.

I guess that depends on how you define groundbreaking. I enjoyed NFL2K, but no game based on the NFL or any other sport would qualify as groundbreaking to me, unless we're talking about some kind of revolutionary virtual reality, but even then the game itself wouldn't be the groundbreaking thing.
