Hopefully this means some footage soon

"Plus there's more yet to be announced..."
:O

Simon_Brezhnev6021d ago

got a feeling they might wait til e3 to show footage for Agent it will probably come out late 2010

SixTwoTwo6021d ago

Rockstar don't normally show any footage until their games are almost finished.

LordMarius6021d ago

I'm sure Sony will push them to show some

Press_Agree6021d ago

Who cares about Agent when we got MAG

raztad6021d ago

I'm sure MS is already trying to buy this game for the xbox. I hope Sony has a firm grip over it. I want to see what Rockstar can accomplish with the PS3.

Shane Kim6021d ago

Is this a sandbox game? If that's the case I can't wait. A sandbox game with espionage theme, made by rockstar exclusive for PS3. Sounds awesome.

WMW6021d ago

i don't think it will be a sandbox game because they said it won't be like gta but thats not really a problem atleast to me its not i think it will be a tps with stealth elements rockstar also said it was going to be set during the climax of the cold war and deal with political assassination and espionage so it will be a serious story i hope they have a good writer because it seems like it will much deeper then any of their other games also i hope the game has ps3 quality graphics and uses the blu ray disk to make the games story mode long multiplayer would be nice to have if it plays like a tps

legendkilla6021d ago

i cant wait to hear more info in this game!

gaffyh6021d ago

I hope it doesn't, but I have a feeling it will get delayed to early 2011. Cos we haven't seen any footage or concept art yet

alster236021d ago

man i really hope this game is sandbox. seems likely since all of norths games are sandbox

IzKyD13316021d ago

raztad is right, this better be 100% set and done as an exclusive, because I will be pissed if at next year's E3, Sam Houser comes on to say "Guess what game's coming to the 360!"

Saaking6021d ago

Rockstar has a THREE game deal with Sony last time I heard so there's more to be announced.

alster236021d ago

whoa really? thats awesome do you have a link to an article about the deal?

Christopher6021d ago

I think there's a combination of two statements.

1. New games will be coming in 2010.

2. We are working on Red Dead Redemption, Max Payne 3, and Agent.

I don't think Agent will be on the PS3 in 2010.

I'm not sure where the "three game deal" came from. Some one with better research skills could probably find it.

Vertius6021d ago

"I have a feeling it will get delayed to early 2011. Cos we haven't seen any footage or concept art yet"

That may happen, but not for that reason. Think of Chinatown Wars PSP. We only got the first screenshots last week, and it's out next month!

Greywulf6021d ago

MY EYES ARE BLEEDING.

its going to be good to see a sandbox game that isn't limited by dvd.

cayal6021d ago

As a MASSIVE fan of Robert Ludlum, I am looking forward to this game which has been inspired by espionage writers like Ludlum and Le Carre.

alster236021d ago

just checked the wikipedia page for agent and there was a piece of info on the setting.

One of the game's locales will be Capitol City (Rockstar's rendition of Washington DC). It will exist in the same universe as their own Liberty City.

this probably means its sandbox since it says one of the gameslocales

JL6021d ago

@WMW
Just because they said it's not like GTA, doesn't mean it can't be sandbox. Not even close. I mean Oblivion was sandbox but it wasn't even remotely close to being like GTA. So them saying that does not rule out sandbox. In fact, I fully expect this to be a sandbox game.

@imdaboss
I agree. I don't expect anything at TGS either. E3 sounds much more likely if they reveal their first trailer at a convention.

I am excited to see what this game is about. However, I'm putting this on the back burner and not even concerning myself about it for now as I suspect it will be a while before we see anything, plus I do expect some late 2010 release at the earliest. We have way too many other great games between now and then to start overhyping and over anticipating this game right now.

PlayStation 3 exclusive AGENT, which is a brand-new title from Rockstar North, the creators of the Grand Theft Auto series.

unlike MULTIPLATFORM MGS Rising, which is a SPIN-OFF from a no name developer, NOT the creator (KOJIMA PROD) of the Metal Gear Solid series.

LMAO!!1!

cry more, bots

PS: this comment is pure genuis. now give me some bubbles, xbots

Gay expansion to the worst GTA VS new Rockstar North IP. 'Nuff said.

wxer6021d ago

thank you Microsoft for paying $50 million to buy an old game DLC's (that no one is playing now)

those $50 million gone in the development of this magnificent game on the PS3

OmarJA6021d ago (Edited 6021d ago )

Poor xbutts...

Thank you M$ for paying 50.000.000$ to RockStar to help them make this game.

CaitSith6021d ago (Edited 6021d ago )

on this exclusive that Rockstar North's churning out. The concept must be really good if Sony made a deal with them to make this game an exclusive to the Playstation 3 instead of GTA IV. It'd be interesting to see if they implement the use of the PS Eye into this game.

Here's hoping this game will be as successful as the GTA series. =D

dustgavin6021d ago (Edited 6021d ago )

Xbox 360= Gay Tony
Ps3= The Agent

Seems both games match the consoles properly.

wxer6021d ago

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

BBLS+ for you man
YOU ROCK

HAHAHAHAHAHA

xbots just got owned

talltony6021d ago

raztad6021d ago (Edited 6021d ago )

TLG is TBA/2010.

Starhawk?
Jafee Game?

I dont think Insomniac is gonna release R3 next year. Probably they are working in something else.

IMO MS3 is a not go next year as well.

kws10656021d ago

it's perfect. Perfect to make me bankrupt at the end of the year 2010 haha.

Polluted6021d ago

Is Modnation really not coming out until late next year? I was sort of expecting it by Christmas.

BaSeBaLlKiD7216021d ago (Edited 6021d ago )

March- MLB 10 The Show as well

ThatCanadianGuy6021d ago

Don't forget..

WKC
Quantum Theory
Sony Motion controller coming out in Spring + Games
The Agency
DC Universe online

SixTwoTwo6021d ago (Edited 6021d ago )

Modnation is Q1/Q2 and you forgot FFXIV for the end of the year. IIRC NIS has 2 JRPG's for next year as well.

jwatt6021d ago

The Agency should be coming out next year too, and no I didn't mean to say Agent.

Arsenal4Ever6021d ago

Starhawk and the Jaffe game haven't even been given proper names yet so I doubt we'll see them in 2010. Erm I don't think Versus will come Stateside 2010 either.

Personally, I don't like VC so I didn't add it but yeah it's an exclusive I suppose. Same with... Quantum and The Agency but yeah If I add all of those. There are about 10 PS3 exclusives next year. =]

FlipMode6021d ago

WOW reading all the above comments really made me realize how epic the PS3 lineup for next year is, I'm a happy dude.

rockleex6021d ago

The Last Guardian?

You guys make me cry. :(

Gambit076021d ago

Where did Motorstorm 3 come from?

Arsenal4Ever6021d ago

Well think about it... Motorstorm 2006, Pacific Rift 2008, E3rd game 2010? Just Resistance franchise, Uncharted and ratchet. onces every two years now.

sniper-squeak6021d ago

So many great games! :D oh yeah, so if MS2 was called Pacific Rift, and MS PSP is going to be called Arctic Edge, what would MS1 have been called and what will MS3 be like (like, where would it be set) - I say they recreate the 1st game with a brand new, more powerfull engine and make the game match the origional E3 2005 trailer! :D

remanutd556021d ago

lol i dont think you ever played the first motorstorm lol , its called Motorstorm Monument Valley , Motorstorm Pacific Rift and Motorstorm Arctic Edge , thats the whole Motorstorm series for NOW , of course theres more Motorstorm to come and guess what it will be day 1 buy for me

sniper-squeak6021d ago (Edited 6021d ago )

I do have the game, I have both :) It's just that it's not official, like it's not written on the cover or anything. Albeit, it is mentioned on the game interface...

I was thinking Monument Valley was more of it's location rather than name.. =\

mingeater6021d ago

that aint coming in 09 which is disappointing.

but next year is looking expensive. especially as i will be buying a ton of games for the 360....and thats without all the multi-plats. next year is looking even more expensive than this year.

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.

dveio119d 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.

Deeeeznuuuts119d 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 😩

Christopher118d ago

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

Redgrave118d 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.

helicoptergirl412d 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.

lucasnooker362d ago

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

I wished agent was revived so badly

Skuletor708d ago

Rockstar's game outpost has steadily declined since HD console gaming started . Hell, they were releasing new games every year since the PS2 launched, up to the start of the 7th gen.
