"This one has been AWOL for quite some time, but GTA developers Rockstar seemingly haven’t given up on it yet…
Just yesterday, Agent’s trademark was renewed. While this could mean several things, the most hopeful is that the game is still being worked on, deep in the basements of Rockstar HQ. Originally announced way back in 2007, nothing is known about Agent, just that it will supposedly push the boundaries of video-gaming.
So, what the hell could it be?"
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
Something James Bondish but more realistic.
I hear 1970s espionage adventure game. Seriously.
Though this is me being completely biased, I would be down for an open-world modern spy tale.
