Apparently, the game was bounced around for years internally over at RockStar. It wasn't until earlier this year, though, that Rockstar pitched the idea to Sony execs, who loved the idea behind it and decided to make it a PS3 exclusive.
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
Sounds like the concept is well thought out then... but if they just started developing it, that probably means we won't see it 'til 2011-2012 at the earliest...
Am I the only one that just doesn't think this game sounds all that interesting? 70's secret agents is just... blah, reminds me of Charlie's Angels or something.
Hopefully Agent turns out to be a great franchise like GTA
hopefully better than GTA4
i just hope it has a good story line, in addition to great gameplay.
gta sucks imo because of the horrible story line.
i hope this is released soon. it;s already too late i guess but the more time they take, the more fun it's gonna be.
