Is "Agent" on the way?

Why would they leave out X1 and PC? That's a significant market.

They'd only consider that if Sony would pay a huge sum for exclusivity, and/or if the game isn't the kind of big-budget production that R* is known for.  Both seem unlikely.

The PS4 might sell very well, but this isn't the PS2 era anymore. PC gaming is popular now, and while X1 isn't selling as well as PS4 it's still a significant market. R* would be mad to skip that market, and Sony would be mad to buy this market out.

the 360 was a vastly more significant market when agent was announced exclusively for ps3...

 

i agree, i'm sure that rockstar didn't annouce agent exclusively for ps3 for no reason.  a large sum of cash was probably already paid to rockstar.   ..but ps4 is kicking ass on the market now.  there isn't really any reason to believe that sony lost exclusivity for this title now that conditions are more favorable then ever for playstation exclusivity.

Good point about the 360 at the time, and maybe R* are following up on an old deal.

You've got to wonder though what the implication of not making the game was for the exclusivity deal that was in place, and signing an exclusivity deal with MS for GTA4 dlc instead. And at a time where Sony really needed such a coup.

Somehow I can't imagine Sony having paid a huge sum of money and then just let it slide like that. If money did already change hands, did they come to an agreement and R* paid it back? 

Anyway, it'll be interesting to see what comes of this (if something is really going on).
