Wish it were coming to the 360, but unfortunately it's not. I'm happy for PS3 owners though. This game looks promising.

prabx6170d ago (Edited 6170d ago )

Certainly does look promising. =D !

UnSelf6170d ago

we could use more ppl like u around here.

OT: NOW we have something to be happy about, right 360 non believers?

smh@ ya always tryna rain on our parades

ABizzel16170d ago

I can't wait for Sony's MMO's. DC Universe, The Agency, FF14, and whatever NCSoft has.

G3TDOWN6170d ago

which I dont think It will since Sony is making this game !

DMason836170d ago (Edited 6170d ago )

This game is coming to the PC too? I thought it was a PS3 exclusive. That other article that was on here the other day stated that it wasn't coming to the PC.

Hmmm. Sometimes the news that flies around here is rather contradicting.

On a side note, I always imagined this would be a 3rd person action game. I didn't know it was a FPS.

free2game3656170d ago

It's coming out on the PC also

JL6170d ago

@Sanzee
If you don't have a PS3 you still have hope in that you can get it for PC if that's an option for you. Bubbles for being a gamer and not a fanboy though.

I'm looking forward to this game as well, though. Definitely will be giving it a try, it shows some very nice promise. And I'm not even an MMO fan really. Do want to get my hands on this, though.

@G3TDOWN
Not sure what you were expecting from this. The graphics seem fine to me. Not like they're bad, and you can't expect great ones or for it to be a graphics contender by any means, with it being an MMO and all. Or if you're just talking about the art design of it, then I've always expected it to be a "cartoon-ish looking" game as that's what they've been showing. These are the exact kind of in-game shots I'd expect to see after what we've seen already. I just wouldn't get your hopes up and expect too much from this with it being an MMO.

Snake Raiser6170d ago

@1.5 and really everybody. Is this the Rockstar game "The Agency"? This doesn't sound right...I did a bit of fact-finding and I think this game is being published by SOE. The Rockstar Agency game is from of course Rockstar and Rockstar north.

Edit: I just found out that Rockstar's game is just called Agent. Sorry for those of you who already knew that.

The_Beast6170d ago

lmao why did u get so many disagrees

SevWolf6170d ago

@ sanzee: bubbles +, you deserve it, you should start savin up for a PS3 believe me you won't be dissapointed, I was a Ps3-only owner, when I realized that it wasm't the way to go so I bought a 360 and I'm happy with both
@X__JL__X: atleast I think that's your username, anyway you're right about the graphics everybody expects this to have Uncharted 2 graphics and what not, forgetting that it's a MMO, I mean look at WoW graphics not to great are they now
@ g3tdown: talking about its graphics "which I dont think It will since Sony is making this game ! "..really I mean really was that necessary..lol @ fail of life

masterg6170d ago

@Snake Raiser

Hehe.. I though I was reading about "Agent" as well. Didn't notice "cy" before you wrote about it :)

JL6170d ago

Yea. x__JL__x is what it is. Or just JL if you prefer (just I can't use only two letters when I chose my username, either on here or PSN--which both use this same name here)

But yea, MMOs never have competing graphics really, so we must not forget that The Agency here is just that, an MMO, and as such won't be competing for any graphic contests, and shouldn't be held to such standards as something like UC2 (or even the 1st one) or anything like that.

lol It's funny. seems alot of people came in here by misreading and thinking they were coming for R*s 'Agent', only to find out too late. That's fine by me though, glad this game got that lil bit of extra attention.

raztad6170d ago

It's not coming to the 360 but a PC version will be available, like FFXIV, so everybody will be able to play it. I think the developers already got the technical hurdles of PC - PS3 interoperability solved but some legal issues still remain.

I like The Agency visuals, are pretty slick and probably are made on purpose to run on medium spec PCs and minimize the lag.

xwabbit6170d ago

Isn't this game coming to pc ?

Christopher6170d ago (Edited 6170d ago )

Aye, for both the PC and the PS3, so the mass majority of gamers win out.

I do hope that they at least link PC and PS3 accounts even if they can't get them to work on the same servers. Would like to be able to buy for both and only have to pay for one account.

This article doesn't really have any new info. The best and latest info came out of E3 with the walkthrough videos

whothedog6170d ago (Edited 6170d ago )

CaptainKratos6170d ago

i read Agent:screens, click click click.lol. Agency?oooooh.lol.

Amplitude6170d ago

wow. Same here. xD I was just about to comment saying something like "WTF!? AGENT IS AN FPS!? >.< DAMN YOU ROCKSTAR!", but then i noticed your comment and i was like "what?"
xD

poopsack6170d ago

dammit me too, i forgot about the agency.

Hisiru6170d ago

Same here hahahaha. I thought I read "Agent" and then I said "WOOW MAAANNNN AGENT? SCREENS? LET'S TAKE A LOOK NOW".

But I am not disappointed because "The Agency" looks very good.

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle29d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Relientk7729d ago

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

DarXyde36d ago

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

Soy36d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.

PlayStation legend Shuhei Yoshida says Jim Ryan fired him because he didn't listen to him

Why did Sony push Shuhei Yoshida out of his role leading PlayStation's first-party games? He'd overseen some huge successes. Well, apparently, he didn't listen.

Relientk7737d ago

Yeah I can see that for sure. Shuhei Yoshida should have been in charge not Jim Ryan.

Cacabunga37d ago

It should be free highway for him now.. but Sony are too stupid to see this, especially that moron Hulst

S2Killinit37d ago (Edited 37d ago )

Wtf why all that anger. PlayStation is dominating on every level. Besides I think there is a little more to hiring a CEO than just who is available. Its not like its a athlete your team wants to buy.

neutralgamer199237d ago

S2Killinit

live service failures, chasing trends, closing studios. yes dominating

Cacabunga36d ago

Sony is Dominating because competition is not existing. Compared to previous gens this is the poorest in terms of software offerings.

Last gen we got Uncharted 4 Lost Legacy and TLOU2 from ND alone.

This is so far a remasters gen, with no competition to lift up the quality

1nsomniac36d ago (Edited 36d ago )

..."PlayStation is dominating on every level"....

...Really???

PlayStation are soon heading into a new generation in the not to distant future. They currently have the worst customer satisfaction they've ever sustained as a company. The company is heading for a huge crash while at the same time they'll need to be planning how they are going to try and win back that favour and the build up to their new releases.

Yes financially they're winning but they're going to have to ride out this complete public corporate disaster. No one has faith in the company or the product anymore. They've damaged their public image so much this generation. Greed can kill anyone.

medman36d ago

Hulst is a disaster......

blacktiger36d ago

He would've done the same thing and fire Jim Ryan and Shuhei would be the villain. Why?
Because Elite creates the narrative and distraction for gamers, users and citizens.

Outside_ofthe_Box37d ago

More confirmation that Jim Ryan is the culprit for what has happened to Sony. Hulst needs to go too. What sucks is that a lot of the good top heads at Sony are no longer there. I wish that guys that were forced out prematurely by Dumbo Jimbo like Shuhei and Layden came back.

robtion36d ago

Yep. Yoshida was responsible for bringing one of the best games of this generation to playstation (Stellar Blade). He is an actual gamer and is in touch with what gamers want (creative, fun games, not GaaS and agenda pushing). He also seems like a genuinely nice guy if you watch some interviews. Of course they got rid of him.

darthv7237d ago

Makes you wonder if MS even thought about hiring him after Phil and Sarah were leaving. He certainly couldn't make their situation any worse.

Agent7537d ago

Microflop. After Windows XP and Xbox 360, it all went floppy.

S2Killinit37d ago

Floppy 😆
No pun intended

badz14937d ago

Yoshida for President! Jim Ryan was and always be a hack! Sony should get Shu back

Lightning7737d ago

All the gamer/consumer lead heads are gone across PS and Xbox. shuhei gone phil's gone (questionable) but gone. The future of gaming is somewhat uncertain across the board.
