The title, which will be revealed in full in the next issue of Game Informer, is now confirmed to be coming to both Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. The info comes from Game Informer writer Matthew Kato, who in a comments thread on the magazine's Web site responded to questions regarding exclusivity.

"It's not a PS3-exclusive," he writes. "It was at one point, but it's coming out for the PS3 and 360."

QFT.
Hopefully it will be a good game although the troubled development makes me think that it could end up like a new The Getaway.

Nah, Sony went to Rockstar and paid some cash to get a PS3 only game going. No way they're going to allow the game to make it's way elsewhere after funding it.

You can tell because Sony (think it was Trenton) was a bit disappointed that there wasn't much to announce about the Rockstar deal back in an interview. They gave them the deal and kinda waited around to see the results. Much different then seeing Agent and putting up some money to get it exclusively for their platform.

Even Rockstar said developing for just one system with Agent was very different, had it's benefits, etc.

Is the whole story behind L.A. Noire and The Agent true?

I think I read somewhere that Sony owned L.A. Noire, spent like 20 million on it, decided to scrap it but Rockstar took it over and instead of having to give Sony cash for the IP gave the exclusive rights to The Agent to Sony.

Or is this some internet bullshit? I don't really care and my personal feeling is that The Agent will eventually become multi.

Yeah, but paying money to Rockstar didn't stop L&D and BoGT from moving to other platforms eventually.

Like all Rockstar 'exclusives', Agent will be timed for PS3. It will probably be out on 360 a year or so after the PS3 release. This is the MO Rockstar has used with their exclusives in the past.

Back to LA Noire, I'm glad it is still coming. The concept has sounded interesting...will it be out in 2010?

Probably, but I'm really hoping Agent is Rockstar's game that really targets the PS3 hardware. Dan Houser said in interviews way back that he didn't want next-gen consoles to use DVD again. We know how that went. So maybe a PS3-exclusive from them will take full advantage of blu-ray's capacity.

After GTA4 I think it's safe to say that R* is not doing exclusives for anyone. Timed exclusives only and for only as long as the money in the hat runs out.

Fuck the old (and played out) exclusive talk, the fact that they're releasing any kind of media about this game at all is what matters.

Nothing confirmed on that front.
But Team Bondi was making the game under a publishing deal with Sony. Sony decided to scrap the project because it was costing a lot of money and key milestones were not reached.
Take Two/Rockstar decided to pick up the game and wanted it to be multiplatform.
Sony made an exclusive contract with Rockstar for one game (The Agent), if that happened as a reward for LA Noire, for the loss of the GTA exclusive or for other reasons (money, good publishing deal) or a combination of those we don't know.

Thanks for clearing that up. I always wondered about it.

But we all agree that Sony does better job of keeping any game exclusive if they want to as compared to MS, right?


Other than that, original trailer was in B&W. Would be really cool if developer is daring and make it B&W throughout.

If it's at least somewhat well-written, this game could be really cool.

I've been looking forward to how this game turns out.
