Support NeoGAF

[Mr_Brit]

Just mentioned on GTTV by Jack Tretton. Keighley questioned him on the status of Agent's development and Tretton said it's still in development and they're working with Rockstar but he couldn't say whether it was exclusive anymore and seemed to want to move on so I doubt they still have exclusivity.

 

[throwawayname]

yeah saw that too

 

[Ashes]

woh!

 

[V_Ben]

Could be on Vita too.

 

[Rad-]

Haha this game.

 

[Luckyman]

Sony had a good E3 run

lulz

 

[Grisby]

I really wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't.

It'll be another LA Noire situation and I bet we'll see it on a GI cover before the end of the year or so.

 

[StuBurns]

I'm glad someone asked about it, no surprise if it's not exclusive.

 

[FrankT]

How does that work exactly. Thought they sacrificed 20 million on LA Noire for it in return. Unless TT/Rockstar outright paid it. Though it wouldn't take much from LA Noire 360 sales to cover that.

 

[Loudninja]

Vita baby.

 

[Stumpokapow]

Could be on Vita too.

That wasn't the implication of the conversation if you watched.

 

[dralla]

yea, no shit

 

[Trevelyon]

There's 20 million down the drain. Jesus, Sony got burnt.

 

[Arnie]

Definitely sounded like it wasn't exclusive anymore.

There's already been tears in the GT Live thread.

Better for everyone, I still expect it to be better on PS3 like LA Noire though, surely it's a PS3 lead SKU.

Vita version would also be smart but I don't think that's exactly what the conversation implied.

 

[M.D]

There's still 20$ million in the air

Maybe they decided to just pay it?

 

[Krev]

There's 20 million down the drain. Jesus, Sony got burnt.

Rockstar must have paid them back.

 

[Carl]

I thought this was compensation for LA Noire going multiplat?

Ah well

 

[V_Ben]

That wasn't the implication of the conversation if you watched.

I was watching, but I was just postulating. His wanting to get away from the topic does imply that it's now a multiplatform game.

 

[StealthGoblin]

How does that work exactly. Thought they sacrificed 20 million on LA Noire for it in return.

Sony might have looked at Agent and traded exclusivity for Vita support or something else.

 

[KingDizzi]

Don't give a fuck if more of less people are able to play it, did he say if anything would be shown within the next year?

Your guess is good as mine but my guess would be that TT simply paid Sony back. Who knows if it's that clear cut though, all I do know is that it would be nice if we saw something about this game soon no matter what it's on. :/

 

[Trevelyon]

Rockstar must have paid them back.

Still, they dangled it for far too long.

 

[paskowitz]

Run out of money paying for exclusive content with EA Sony? Seriously, whoever is the deal man at Sony really needs to be fired. I feel like its been the same guy for years. They never seem to be able to keep anything on lock. I say this in disappointment not attack...

 

[gdt]

Fine. No reason it should be exclusive. Get it on PC too.

Edit: lol at the sad faces.

 

[V_Ben]

Actually, trading Agent for Vita support would be interesting.

 

[renitou]

It probably isn't a game either, so no great loss.

 

[Omiee]

Rockstar and 2K seem to not care about their relationship with sony, no loyalty or they just care about the money.
Thats why i love epic, they dont care that gears could sell more, they stay loyal to microsoft and their relationship with that company.

 

[chubigans]

Wow, just watched it, he said "I'm not sure where exactly we'll end up on that" when it came to exclusivity.

Interesting.

 

[BlazingDarkness]

Who cares?
No one's even seen Agent
Not worth kickin a fuss about it

 

[Guardian Bob]

Does paper on pen not mean anything anymore?

 

[FrankT]

When was the first mention of it. E3 2008? or 7? Seems just as confused today.

 

[TheOddOne]

Rockstar x Take Two x Exclusive = Never gonna happen.

 

[Crisis]

And, you know. Their publishing agreement.

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

The fuck, Jack?

Come on, dude. Game probably doesn't exist.

 

[Mama Robotnik]

More gamers get to play what could be a great game. There is no downside to this.

 

[Biggzy]

Who cares?
No one's even seen Agent
Not worth kickin a fuss about it

I don't get it either.

 

[AranhaHunter]

Tretton has single handedly deflated all hype surrounding Sony and Vita after the conference lol

 

[Neuromancer]

Probably just as well for everyone involved.

 

[LosDaddie]

This is good news.

Now the game has an even better chance at being a success. PS3 is still getting the game, so no one should be upset with this news.

I don't get it either.

Oh come on

 

[dralla]

yea because money has nothing to do with epic[gears] sticking exclusively with microsoft

 

[LiK]

Tretton droppin bombs

 

[truly101]

3rd party exclusives at this point in the race mean next to nothing. As long as the game sees the light of day and PS3 remains the lead like LA Noire, then I don't see much of a negative impact here.

 

[Dizzy-4U]

Fine. No reason it should be exclusive. Get it on PC too.

Red Dead first please :/

Really?

 

[Net_Wrecker]

Mehhh, kinda sucks. I was looking forward to Rockstar working on an exclusive PS3 game without worrying about the 360's disc space issues.

 

[Withnail]

Nobody on GAF should be disappointed about games going multiplatform.

 

[Riddick]

So Rockstar screwed them on the GTA deal iirc, and screwed them on the Agent deal too now. So ffs don't make deals with Rockstar, Sony.

 

[Omiee]

yea because money has nothing to do with epic[gears] sticking exclusively with microsoft

I dont think its just money, they know that sticking with 1 platform they get more attention and support from the platform holder.
you get a prominent place everywhere and more marketing from both party's

Mehhh, kinda sucks. I was looking forward to Rockstar working on an exclusive PS3 game without worrying about the 360's disc space issues.

my primary concern, i really dont care that more people will enjoy it, im all for that. I just want them to focus on one machine and get everything out of it.
My dream would be rockstar creating a pc exclusive or basing the game on that.

 

[Revolutionary]

That's a shame. But hey, at least we might have day one paid DLC that was totally not cut from the game in the interest of making more money saving space.

 

[WickedLaharl]

cool. the more people that get to play it the better.

 

[Rad-]

Well yeah but marketing is usually counted into money as well.
