Massacre 7646 Report post Posted July 25, 2012 GTA V will be out first. You won't see Agent for at least a year and six months. Released, anyway. There'll probably be proper info around this time next year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Marney-1 Report post Posted August 10, 2012 (edited) Was just thinking, those red lanterns in the Donoghue portfolio screenshots... Look like Moroccan lanterns. Hmm, in fact, everything in those screenshots screams Morocco.........possibly Timbuktu. Edited August 10, 2012 by Marney-1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Marney-1 Report post Posted August 11, 2012 Good find. Doesn't change the fact that Agent it gathering dust on a shelf somewhere atm though unfortunately. I think I'm the only person on earth who thinks Agent is still being worked on. Also, you're gonna think I'm mad but I think Rockstar may have been dropping hints about the (or one of) locations we'll find ourselves in in Agent - Timbuktu. The reason we did is we thought the city was interesting, both visually and socially, and a logical place for Max to end up, as you can see when you play the game. We are happy making games set in versions of New York or L.A., or in Timbuktu. There is no agenda or master plan in this regard. Just what we believe works well for the proposed gameplay and story and will be visually interesting. R* Asked & Answered "I couldn't understand them, but I didn't have to.

"The concept was to do the other half of GoldenEye," Oster explained. "The idea being that James Bond isn't just a gun that walks around the world and shoots people.

We really wanted to be very high drama, very intense scenes. I always think of the scene in the second Bourne movie where Jason Bourne's choking the guy out with a book and he's right in his face and it's this very intense moment.

Read the rest here: Eurogamer That sounds a lot like Alpha Protocol, Obsedian's spy RPG that was mediocre at best. It came out a year later and sounds very similar where your Agent could be "suave" like James Bond or a neck-snapping ninja like Jason Borne or a gun totting lunatic like Jack Bauer. Here's a quote from wikipedia regarding the game: "Alpha Protocol features numerous characters with whom to interact. Conversations occur in real-time, giving the player a limited amount of time to respond at key "decision points" during dialogue.[6] The dialog system in the game - known as the "DSS" or Dialogue Stance system[7] - allows the player to choose from three different attitudes, or "stances," when speaking to an NPC. Obsidian has said that these options are based on the personalities of the "three J.B.'s": Jason Bourne of The Bourne Identity novels and films, James Bond of the eponymous film and book series, and Jack Bauer of the television series 24, although the game itself does not use these names. During dialog sequences, the player will be able to choose from options like "professional" (Jason Bourne), "suave" (James Bond), and "aggressive" (Jack Bauer), sometimes with a brief description of the dialogue choice (such as "sarcastic") taking the place of the general stance. A fourth, "special" dialogue choice is also sometimes available." (Note: while it may seem that this is only regarding the dialogue, anybody who's played the game would see that there were skills needed to upgrade that focused on gadgets (Bond), martial arts (Bourne), and guns (Bauer).) While this probably isn't the same game as the one Bioware was working on, they seem eerily similar. Either way I doubt it was Rockstar's Agent, since the discription of Bioware's spy RPG doesn't seem to mention the era it was meant to be set in, which seems to play an important role in Rockstar's game. Also since this thread has been quiet for the past couple of months (or since the announcment of the PS4), isn't it likely that Agent has been moved to next-gen consoles?

Rayge 689 Report post Posted April 17, 2013 Agent has probably been lying dormant since 2009, and since it took so long for it to come about (no new information in years), I'm guessing they're saving it for a PS4 exclusive rather than a PS3, or scrapping it all together. However I doubt that or they should've announced it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DuPz0r 5361 Report post Posted July 23, 2013 Yeah more than likely a possibility. I think they shelved it to make way for GTA V, not realising the production length that GTA would end up being. Poor game didn't look in a good state when we saw it in the guys portfolio, i'm sure they will be building it from the ground up for Next Gen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
