Forums - Gaming - Take-Two: Agent Still PS3 Exclusive

http://gamrfeed.vgchartz.com/story/80345/agent-is-still-ps3-exclusive/

This generation has been terrible for third party exclusives. Devil May Cry, Final Fantasy and Tekken have lost their PlayStation exclusivity, while Dead Rising and BioShock have lost their 360 exclusivity. More recently, Rockstar's very own L.A. Noire, once it lost its vapourware status, went from being PS3-exclusive to PS360 multiplat. With the HD consoles having a far smaller userbase than the PS2, developers have to maximise their potential userbase.

The lost-exclusivity trend has led to some rumours that Agent, the open world...game (I can't give a whole lot more description than that, since we know nothing about it) would get the multiplatform treatment. However, that doesn't seem to be the case.

During a Take-Two earnings conference call (Take-Two being the parent company of Rockstar Games, who are the publishers of both L.A. Noire and Agent), the company president, Strauss Zelnick, said the following, when asked about Agent's exclusivity status:


"On Agent, there's no change in situation on that title."

He could have wanted to keep the secret for E3, but he would have been more ambiguous than that. And besides, announcing the multiplatform status of a game before revealing anything else about said game would be a little backwards.

So, for now, Agent remains one of the few third-party PS3 exclusives.

Does that silence everyone saying it would go multiplat?

Yeah just like how MGS4 went multi.....oh wait.

When companies stop TALKING about games and them going multi, thats when we should be afraid....ala FF13....not even a  rumour of it going multi before it happened.



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

Eat that, Selnor!



4 ≈ One

only one example out of the handful that actually did go multi? plus Kojima is ine of the few honorable developers left..so comparing him to money grubers like Take two is a no no. They will keep saying its exclusive to keep the hype becuase only god knos why ppl cant be hyped for a game on another platform and when the time comes it will go multi.

This.

In my eyes that Take-Two guy pretty much confirmed that Agent is a timed exclusive (if even that).



The two GTA IV eps were exclusive too. So there you have your Rockstar exclusivity history.
