Jack Patton: "Cast your eyes back to our E3 prediction lists and then look up the four predictions I submitted. I got several mail & angry worded comments labelling me a fanboy for this, UP YOURS GUYS, but yes I was right. For those who didn't read my predictions, one of the few things I said was "Rockstar would announce their new PS3 exclusive franchise." Now the new questions is, how did I work this out and why are Rockstar so two-faced when it come's to 3rd Party Deals. On the one hand, they dish out Xbox360 exclusive content for GTAIV, and then on the other they turn around and announce an exclusive game to the PS3. Many would expect this to be multiplatform, and some fanboys will hold onto that, but I'll save you the bother by explaining how and why Agent came to be, then lightly touch on what it's actually going to 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
It would be very interesting if LA Noire does turn out to be exclusive to the PS3 meaning Sony will have to exclusives lineup from Rockstar.
What the hell kinda grammar is that in the title of this story?
Has been in development for 5 years according to the Devs, had to keep it a secret for that long. yet they done it.
Intersting view.
But if i remember sony and rockstar/take two had a legal agreement. microsoft money was worth breaking the agreement but there was a clause that gave rockstar/sony reason for some type of compensation/renegotiation
rockstar offered an up coming title as an exclusive at sony's choice. Tretton then jumped the gun and mentioned L.A. Noir (for publicity sake no doubt) but nothing was set in stone or discussed further.
I don't expect/want microsoft to get in the middle of this deal. microsoft should instead take their contract breaking funds and discuss their own exclusive IP from Rockstar.
