Forums - Sony - What's up with The Last Guardian, Agent, FF Vs 13? And why the hype?

The Last Guardian got hyped and now you got word about there really not being any news for it.  There is no clue as to what platform it would even be on.  Yet, out came the hype for it.

Worse than this is Rockstar's Agent.  Anyone remember this title?  It was supposed to be a Playstation 3 exclusive.  Any I have not seen word of it since.  Yet, that also had hype, complete with people putting a game with a summary and only a logo, ending up in people putting the game's logo in their signature to hype it.

And, of course, there is Final Fantasy Vs 13, which who knows what about that?  It did have a bit more info than Agent though.

Come on, what gives here?  What is going on with the games, and how in the heck do you get hyped about something that is nothing but a premise and a logo, or MAYBE has a teaser trailer and a brief description at E3?  Why do you do this?  

If people think I am just going to target Sony here, I will give you another name to say not:

Peter Molyneaux.

I think the case with Peter though, the hype is usually contained to himself, by himself, with some accidental splash damage about.  Of course the splash damage ends up on here.

Just curious about the hype.  Games do get cancelled and so on, like Warcraft Adventures and Ghost, and delayed forever like the next Half-Life game.  But where are these games, and why you hype?  And there is tons of fan fiction to fill in the missing spaces.



Around the Network

Well-respected developers announced they were working on a new game, two of which were new IPs. Thus, hype.



Versus XIII was two trailers. It was developed by the Kingdom Hearts team and helmed by Nomura. That is more than enough to get me hyped.

The Last Guardian was also two trailers, and by Team Ico. Again, I don't see any reason for not getting hyped about that one. If you liked their work, they put out two stunning games.

Agent I never got, though. That one was just a logo; and it's the one I was never that bothered about.



No idea about AGENT..most prob vaporware

TLG: An ex SCE employee said recently that the project was moved to PS4 a while back
Versus: Lots of hints that this is also coming to ps4..might be cross gen

I think we will see both of these at E3 this year

Versus is a game with a Kingdom Hearts battle system, Final Fantasy graphics and setting, on my favourite system, from my favourite director....

it is essentially the perfect game, and with 7 years of waiting, we'd like to say the hype is unbearable

I can only hope Agent still lives, as it could be a console seller... but considering how sometimes you think they are just messing with you, and you will hear something at the next event, then nothing.. i dont know any more. I just hope Sony are smart enough to still have this game coming... because a rockstar game in a big city...ala GTA but spy 70's, could be amazing.

This, plus I bet the exclusivity helps

Agent was cancelled a long time ago. The Last Guardian is going to be a PS4 game and FF VS is going to suck hard.



Agent is the new Duke Nukem Forever.

You are thinking of The Agency... a spy MMO... The Agent has never been officially cancelled. It would be pretty stupid of Sony if this is the case as they pumped tens of millions apparently into LA Noire which went multi plat and the Agent deal was mean to fix that. Well thats what i read...

Though apparently every time Sony are asked about it, they say speak to Rockstar... would be nice if finally some good news came out about this game.
