Agent: 10 Assumptions We Hope Will Be True

GB: "The PS3 has had a long and glorious list of protracted development cycles over the course of its life cycle. Though this happens with every platform, it seems the PS3 titles get more publicity than anything else. One such title is Agent, a new Rockstar property that has been in development since 2007. In that time much speculation has been made upon what little information is available. Here is a list of ten assumptions that we hope will turn out to be true as more info is revealed. The lack of concrete images for Agent means the points below will be illustrated with more abstract images."

Why would you want it to be a timed exclusive???

LOGICWINS5409d ago

Why wouldn't you want it to be a timed exclusive?

@sev
Tamia asked that first!

Micro_Sony5409d ago (Edited 5409d ago )

Why is everyone asking everyone why they are asking why?

Snakefist305409d ago (Edited 5409d ago )

Why ask why??

WhiteLightning5409d ago (Edited 5409d ago )

Pie = Why

they sound the same....

Just wanted to be part of something

Yardie5409d ago

i just don't understand the point of it being a timed exclucive. It makes more sense to either have it fully exclusive, or fully multiplatform.

SilentNegotiator5409d ago (Edited 5409d ago )

"Why would you want it to be a timed exclusive???"

Well, obviously if you don't own a ps3, and even more so if you're a fanboy from GamingBolt who would kill to write a "PS3 loses Agent exclusivity!!!!" article.

Sony paid for ONE rockstar exclusive. How about we at least see ONE game be and remain a ps3 exclusive that takes advantage of the hardware and disc space? But no, the consensus will be "ZOMG you don't want it to be on al1 syztemz! Fanboi!!"

Why would anyone be upset if the game eventually comes out on more platforms? The more people who get to enjoy the game the better IMO. I am not loyal to Sony or Microsoft or Nintendo or Steam. I care more about the publishers/developers remaining profitable so that we can continue to enjoy these great games.

Rainstorm815409d ago

I think when a game is developed on one platform more attention can be paid to making the game reach its full potential......

But on the other hand, timed exclusives work the same way just look at Bioshock 1 compared to Bioshock 2 or Crysis 1 to Crysis 2

Micro_Sony5409d ago

@Rainstorm - They game has been rumored to be in development for about 4 years now and I am pretty sure that if R* wanted to take advantage of the the cell then they would have by now.

LA Noire was in development for the PS3 first and at the last minute was decided to be Mullti and that turned out good.

ALFAxD_CENTAURO5409d ago (Edited 5409d ago )

Yes, but it should be developed without being downgraded by the (you know what console).

Rainstorm815409d ago (Edited 5409d ago )

Im sorry but i found LA Noire to be shallow and repetitve in comparison to Rockstar's other games..

GTA4 takes alot of heat yet there was much less to do in LA Noire.

I think the Amazing facial animations of LA Noire over built the hype of the actual game

BrutallyBlunt5409d ago

Rainstorm that has nothing to do with what I said or what they say in the article. They mention if it comes out later, meaning it was already made for the Playstation 3 first. Not sure why I got so many disagrees other than the fact people don't like to share.

it doesn't matter rockstar owe's sony an exclusive title

KingSlayer5409d ago

Exclusive, timed or otherwise I'm buying the 1 disc version.

hamoor5409d ago

This game is taking so looong.
Show us some gameplay ):

Rainstorm815409d ago

Or at least a screenshot.... Its anyones guess what this game could be..

Micro_Sony5409d ago

I really dont understand the hype for this game when nothing but the word Agent has been shown. I know its R* and they make top notch games but what if its a RTS or a QTE game? Not saying that those genres are bad but not what I would have wanted to play.

Apotheosize5409d ago

That the game still fuckin exists

malol5409d ago (Edited 5409d ago )

we heard that it'll cover Egypt and cold war
maybe it'll cover the sort of (spy wars) that was going on in there back then
in that time period there was a war between Israel (supported by USA), Egypt, Syria and Jordan and sometimes Iraq too

lots of spies too
like the Egyption Refaat Al-Gammal
http://en.wikipedia.org/wik...
who successfully spied on Israel for 17 years with out being detected

and the Israeli Eli Cohen
http://en.wikipedia.org/wik...
who got caught and excited in Damascus

and alot more of spies and spying groups and controversy
if this is what the game is about
its going to be EPIC i tell you

i hope it is

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.

dveio207d 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.

Deeeeznuuuts207d 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 😩

Christopher207d ago

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

Redgrave206d 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.

helicoptergirl501d 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.

lucasnooker451d ago

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