Agent (cancelled)


Recommended Posts

  • 4 weeks later...

Has anyone ever thought about ringing up Take-Two during the shareholders meetings and asking about this title? It would be interesting to hear what Strauss has to say about it.

 

"We haven't announced anything about that title yet". That was his reply last time someone called in and asked about Agent.

Might be worth asking then since that's like, 5 years ago :p.

 

Yeah, but they're good at ducking these sort of questions. I don't think we will get anything until R* feel that they are ready to talk about the game.

 

This is what he said when people called in and asked about GTA V before it was announced: "We're not going to announce when we're going to announce it. And we're not going to announce the strategy about announcing it or about when we're going to announce it either, or about the announcement strategy surrounding the announcement of the strategy. Any other questions?"

 

Lol!

Yes, those were found all the way back in 2010 or 2011 in Leigh's portfolio.

Found in RDR: /tune/settings/agent.fx

https://pastebin.com/FNGFZd4T

 

References to helibombs, SMG's, rockets, briefcases. Also something about a jailhouse which is likely one of the scenarios that is in the leaked pictures. File in the pastebin in case someone else finds more stuff as the file is large.

 

Edit: police sirens and "electric floors".

It sounds so James Bond-y man, could have been a great game.

I'm actually speculating this could've been for San Diego's original Agent game for the PS2 and not North's game. Also makes sense because they would likely be using the AGE (Angel Studios at the time) engine they used in the Midnight Club games, explaining why these files are appearing on the RDR RAGE engine, since it was developed since like 2005.

 

I say this because in one of the files...

DC_bk_01_grass_detail.tex {	ps2_bias -1.4	ps2_inclination 0

Nice find! Could "dc" maybe stand for Washington DC?

Not sure about Vertical Bird, but the movie set does looks like it was taken from Agent directly. Let's remember GTA V does seem to have have Agent leftovers but they're only a few textures and nothing else, no code or maps or anything. At least it isn't seen ingame or anything and it says Agent Test Reel.

On V PC: x64a.rpf\textures\analogueoverlay.ytd

etc.

 

Not to mention there have been finds for Agent in the modern RAGE engine in MP3 as seen earlier in this thread.

I know Rockstar can be a bit dodgy with sharing info upon a game's announcement, but I'm going to make the educated guess that this game is dead. Think about it, since it's "announcement" we've had like 4 or 5 major releases from Rockstar, and we STILL know very little about what this game will or would have been about (aside from some leaked concept art and level maps). I mean f*cking hell, even it's official website still lists it as coming to PS3, and that's the OLD logo with the "Spider-Man" font.

 

I mean, the least they could do is just admit to us that it's cancelled. Shame, the concept sounds really intriguing.

Hmmm nice bike

I think it's definitely safe to guess at this point that Agent is dead in the water, for the reasons that you mentioned plus the fact that some of Rockstar's other games seemed to reuse some resources and assets from Agent and its various builds. I guess that was just their way of trying to salvage whatever they could from a project that they figured would never be completed. It must have been an ambitious title for its time, given how long development took (and I'm sure other projects took precedence over it, pushing it back even further).

 

The fact that they never announced any cancellation despite the official announcement reminds me of the time Volition announced "Saints Row: Drive By" and then completely forgot about it. Maybe they figure nobody cares or that most people have forgotten about Agent by now?

No way that'll happen, and by that I mean the Spring 2019 release. Not enough time to announce the game and release it in the typical Rockstar fashion, which you have to believe won't change. I can believe that it might be in development again, but a release date would at least be 1 year apart from Redemption II, and more likely more than that. It'd have been more believable if their source leaked actual new screenshots/documents from the game.
