I remember awhile ago that Sony said they were funding a Rockstar project for the Ps3, so is that game The Agent?

Not complaining about it, just wondering.

Maybe a little but not a lot. We'll most likely see it on PC anyways.

Well if the game was Sony funded then it would be 2nd party like Resisitance or LBP but I dont think that is the case and I dont believe Sony payed for this game since they already took a stance this gen not to purchase exclusivity otherwise FF13 would have stayed exclusive. What I have heard is that Rockstar wanted to work on the PS3 exclusivily for a while and believe that its a perfect platform to start a new franchise, cant say I blame them.

No, only M$ needs to pay millions to have exclusives, not made by their companies.

I don't think so. SONY is'nt like MS. They specify when something is PS3/PC multiplat (ex: Final Fantasy XIV(It feels so weird typing that number :P)).

You're confusing the game "The Agency"(made by SOE) and Agent (made byR*).

Kristan Reed: How are you funding the project? Has SCEA given you an advance or is this self-funded and totally independent?

Brendan McNamara: The project is wholly funded by Sony Computer Entertainment America. We have a long-term exclusive arrangement with SCEA.

I think it is. For those of you that think it wont stay exclusive should read what Rockstar said. No way this is going to another platform. here is the link.http://www.n4g.com/dev/News-341225.aspx

That was from the second link, but that interview was from agesss ago (2004 :S ), is it reliable? They are talking about L.A Noir aren't they? But then again L.A Noir could have had a name changed and "Agent" is the newcomer. I guess we would have to see where all of this takes us :) . But great to see that Sony has an exclusive from Rockstar. Oh and mate, it's spelt Source not Sauce.

Yeah I was thinking they were the same when I saw Agents logo go up, though LA was said to be taking place in the 50's on it's wiki.

Maybe they jumped ahead two decades.

from what i read a long time ago...the reason why gta4 is multi plat from day 1 is because sony agreed to end the agreement with rockstar based on a new ip to be exclusive...i guess that new ip is the agent....

they're not giving it a name, but i doubt rockstar is creating 2 exclusives for the PS3 though
