Does anyone think this will be successful?

I'd say.................A strong maybe

I'd say it is likely...but doesn't have to be

Yes.

Rockstar advertises more than any other 3rd party. I remember when GTAIV came out there were long commercials every time I turned the channel on TV.

Also...its coming directly from R* North, who are the geniuses behind all the main GTA games.

Agent is in a warehouse trying to rescue his partner "Nobody %&*@s with my partners" Then afterwards...partner rings "You want to play some pool" Agent replies "I can't..I'm busy taking down drug dealers at the moment...maybe another time"

Depends.... What is it?? What do we know about it???

I do to, but I think this was more a Microsoft thing because each commercial ended with out first on XBOX 360, exclusive content coming and the XBOX 360 logo flashing at the end.  I'm sure they'll do a good job nevertheless though.

I really have no idea what to think of the game itself though, but it will be interesting to get the extremely small nuggets of info every now and then like Rockstar likes to do.  I also expect it to take a long time to actually be released.

Rockstar's Agent to be "genre-defining" - Feder

Rockstar North's new espionage title for the PlayStation 3 - Agent - will be genre-defining, according to Take-Two's CEO Ben Feder.

Although solid details on the new 70s-set thriller are being kept under wraps, a confident Feder told GamesIndustry.biz that the new title from the makers of Grand Theft Auto is a perfect fit for Sony's home console.

"The game, like anything from Rockstar North, is going to be very, very cool. It's going to push the edge, it's going to be genre-defining and it's going to be a whole new way of experiencing videogames that we haven't really seen before.

"They're the best development team on the planet," added Feder, referring to Rockstar North. "We have a lot of respect for Sony, we have a lot of good business relationships with Sony. The PlayStation platforms are best suited for the title."

Feder said the company decided to go with Sony on a PlayStation 3 exclusive to help market the new title in a busy marketplace, at the sacrifice of reaching a larger audience by going multiformat.

"Exclusives do work when you weigh up the pros and the cons, the positives and the negatives of doing an exclusive, they work even at this stage of the console cycle," offered Feder.

"The trade-offs are that on the one hand if you don't go exclusive you get access to a much larger installed base but if you do go exclusive you get the support of first party publishers in a way that you wouldn't normally expect to."

Genre defining huh...let's see what they can cook up. With R* North, and First Party help, this could shape up to be a really good game. Espionage...sounds like old school CIA.

Honestly, this is the type of exclusive I like to see. Hopefully they'll get lots of advice and tools from Sony's developers and figure out how to work magic on the sadistic riddle that is the PS3. Sucks that more people won't get to play it, but it's good to have a few of these, like Uncharted 2 and Alan Wake, that really push all the buttons of the platform they're on.
