Is 'Agent' A Next Generation Title Now?

PlayStation Beat: Agent was announced by Rockstar Games back in 2007 as a then-exclusive to the PS3. Does it still exist; if so, when are we expecting to finally hear about it?

Most likely multiplat too, if it still even exists.

How could it be "multiplat" if Sony's paying for the development? It's not like Rockstar is paying for it. They don't own the title, Sony does. Just like Insomniac doesn't own Resistance, Sony does. Do you think Resistance and Ratchet and Clank are coming to Xbox becaiuse Insomniac are now working with Microsoft as well?

Just change the name and say it "different" to the Agent and there you go multi-plat.

If Sony were funding the game, don't you think they would want to know a bit more about the development?

Besides, I don't think it's ever been stated that Agent would be a Sony-owned IP - just that Rockstar were going to develop an exclusive for Sony because SCEA funded most of LA Noire before giving it away because of the mess it was in. That's not the same as Sony funding and owning the rights to Agent.

I think the game is still in development because Take2 have a duty to announce to shareholders when a game is cancelled (I believe). When asked in the past, they've always confirmed it was still an active project. Until they say any more though it's just pointless to speculate other a game we know nothing about other than a title.

GameCents4708d ago

They own the title and yet Jack Tretton has no clue what is happening with it?

SONY may have helped fund the game but that money could have easily been given back. Truth is, we don't know what happens behind closed doors and until Rockstar comes out and says so, this game is not very likely still exclusive.

At one point, some of you claimed FFVSXIII was being partially funded by SONY. Look how that turned out.

rocky0475864708d ago

DOM, I'm pretty sure that Sony wouldn't sign ANOTHER deal with Rockstar just so that they can go on and let it go to MS/PC just because they felt like it. With Sony paying for the production that ensures them that Rockstar wouldn't be able to do something like that. And I didn't realize that they hadn't updated Sony with any information, how did you find out that they didn't?

They probably have, just because we haven't heard anything doesn't mean anything. I mentioned it earlier, people went all "vaporware" on Max Payne 3, LA Noire (ESPECIALLY this game), and Red Dead Redemption. That's because Rockstar and Sony announced the game way earlier than they should have. I truly think Sony owns the IP for specific reasons I said above too.

DOMination-4708d ago

Every year at e3, Geoff Keighley asks Jack Tretton about this title. Two years ago, JT said "you would have to ask Rockstar if it's still exclusive". This year, he basically said he has no information about it and if anybody does, could they tell him!

Ah Agent. I remember when you were announced back in 2007 as an untitled exclusive PS3 game made by Rockstar North. In 2009 the game was given a title and then my hype levels went through the roof.

Such a shame the game isn't out yet. I thought the concept sounded really interesting.

Ah well :(

humbleopinion4708d ago (Edited 4708d ago )

I bought my PS3 back then based on empty promises for Agent and The Last Guardian. Learn never to trust a publisher until the game is actually out... (luckily it was Naughty Dog compensating for that in spades)

rocky0475864708d ago

LA Noire was the 2007 title actually. 2009 was the first announcement they ever made about Agent.

AhmadCentral4708d ago

Nope, LA Noire was something different.

It was announced rockstar north were working on a PS3 exclusive back in 2007. It was confirmed in 2009 that Agent was that game.

Don't even care until I see gameplay or a trailer.

Rockstar co-founder Dan Houser explains why open world spy game Agent never worked out

A rare interview from the former GTA and Red Dead Redemption writer and executive producer.

dveio193d ago

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.

Deeeeznuuuts193d ago

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 😩

Christopher192d ago

Because it had to be open world, of course. Couldn't change that and make the Agent game work otherwise. Totally buying it.

Redgrave192d ago

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!"

Cancelled Games That Still Upsetti My Spaghetti

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.

helicoptergirl487d ago

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.

lucasnooker437d ago

I would have loved the getaway 3! The original is still one of my favourite PS2 titles
