Who thinks Rockstar's "Agent" is a cover for GTA5?

Wasn't there some sort of deal between Rockstar and Sony? Let GTAIV go multiplatform in exchange for a new IP? Or something along those lines?

I don't get this.  Why would Rockstar need Sony's permission to do anthing with their IP?

cause sony had a gta4 exlcusivity agreement and they exchanged it for 3 exlcusives with sony,they could be any ip's or exlcusives but sony will have control over to how good they are and qill look over the quality of it

That link CGI posted says otherwise.  It doesn't seem like there was any kind of deal that was broken.  Seems Sony wasn't willing to pay for exclusivity.  Where are you  getting your information from?

 

"SCEA veep Jack Tretton has implied that Sony passed on the opportunity to bind Grand Theft Auto exclusively to PlayStation for another generation.

"It's just a question of how deep into your pockets do you have to reach to secure [exclusivity]?" he said, speaking to Newsweek.

"Desperation breeds deep pockets. Confidence breeds the opposite. When it makes sense, you do the deal. When it doesn't, you pass."

Tretton was responding to allegations in Newsweek that Sony lost out on exclusivity for Take-Two's GTA IV and Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed while Ken Kutaragi "dragged his feet" - something Tretton declined to address directly.
