To do that, you have to do what Gran Turismo, Halo, and GTA did, which is to be first to market with a multimillion copy game in a genre that isn't established. The problem Agent faces is that others have gotten the idea of doing a spy game, and will have them out before Agent hits the market. This is why I jokingly asked if the new trend was going to be games based in the 1970s. Like, do a remake of Interstate 76, for example, and a game based on "That 70s Show".
GTA also had the added benefit of that former lawyer dude who staged a boycott against the game. That generated even more publicity for the game.
