E3 2010: Sony Online Entertainment Release New Trailer For The Agency

PushSquare: "We've been talking about The Agency for a long time now, but this latest trailer finally shows the game in a polished state. Just basing it against other trailers SOE have revealed for the game, this E3 trailer looks slightly redesigned and hella spunky. We daresay it will make a big presence at E3 -- whether that presence will come under the PlayStation 3 banner (which the game is planned for), we'll have to wait and see."

[captain-obvious]

looks nice
for an MMO

@ below
as far as i know its a normal MMO just like any MMO you can find on PC

[dangert12]

this like a MAG competitor?
or does this have a story i'm lost and don't see the point if its just shooting MAG will kill it lol

[TheJudgement]

Will have missions objectives etc lvl up system.

[get2sammyb]

It's an MMO.

[Conloles]

MMO which will be superior on PC

[AtatakaiSamurai]

it has an MMO element to it in that it continually evolves as time goes by (MAG will not be the same 6months from now or a year from now etc etc) but it is a FPS with small MMO elements

This game IS an MMO w/ shooting mechanics

[morganfell]

Conloles is just bawling in every 360 thread he can find Samurai. He is suffering buyers remorse.

[secksi-killer]

but yeah looking pretty nice.. another game to buy me thinks

[ChozenWoan]

Kind of looks like a "Mass Effect" online multiplayer set in the near future instead of a couple of centuries later. I was expecting some James Bond (Rodger Moore)/MGS type of a game. This looks more or less like nearly every arcade shooter out on the market.

[MysticStrummer]

This trailer only shows action oriented gameplay, but there are videos that show stealth elements and gadgets, along with some discussion about the persistent world MMO aspects. I've been waiting for this damn game since the summer of 07 when I first stumbled onto info about it online.

[ChozenWoan]

This is the first gameplay video I've heard of for Agency. I've seen some screenshots in mags and online, but this is the first vid I've seen.

Hope the impression I've gotten from my first vid of Agency is a result of just dumb luck and bad timing or something.

[vhero]

Was anybody else NOT impressed by that trailer?? Especially since this is coming from Rockstar.. Oh wait I am a PS3 fanboy right?? It was magic! Did you see the graphics!! Exclusives for the win!! lol as if.. Not hyped for this game one bit MS can have it. Not surprised its an exclusive being an MMO though as paying 2 subscriptions just to play it on 1 consoles bound to turn some members off.

[Cenobia]

Rockstar did not make this game and it is coming for PC as well. "THE Agency" is a Sony Online Entertainment game, while "Agent" is a Rockstar developed PS3 exclusive.

This is an MMO, and I haven't seen many MMO's with blow your socks off graphics.

[Gamehead36]

SOE =/= Rockstar. The Agency =/= Agent. Jesus people do some research.

[ChozenWoan]

Thats why I was thrown so far off by this vid.

I was thinking of Agent by R*.

Edit:
To Gamehead36
Calm down, there are so many games coming out and the only difference between the names of these two is very small.

t's like comparing screenshots for different racing games without captions to tell you which is from which game. Most of us only skim the names of games and thus our misunderstanding of which game we where looking at. It's not like we confused GoW3 with GoW3... one is PS3 exclusive and the other is 360 exclusive.

[devilhunterx]

reading is fun and educational.

[BattleAxe]

It almost looks like it has a Rainbow six like cover system. This game is looking pretty sweet.

The Agency doesn't even look for an MMO, captain obvious maybe you should stick to consoles.

[BattleAxe]

Maybe he will so that he can play MAG which has never been done on PC. Stick to PCs and WoW, strive for that purple armor you sucker.

[zeksta]

As long as they can keep a good fun factor to the game, i'll buy it.

Anyone else notice there was a shield in a modern shooter MMO?

[pansenbaer]

Art style reminds me of Team Fortress. Looks mad fun!

[JonDiskonected]

I thought it was supossed to be a spy mmo and it looks like a generic fps

[e-p-ayeaH]

every shooter is somewhat generic nowadays

[RageKage14]

It looks like a generic first-person shooter, even though it is in third-person?

[JonDiskonected]

did you watch the trailer? its first person(looks to switch to 3rd person when in cover though)

[AtatakaiSamurai]

it's both 1st person and 3rd person. it's both straight up guns out shooting or it's stealth. depends on what faction you choose and what missions you're on

[beenees]

Another fast food TPS. The indestry seriously need some innovation.

[e-p-ayeaH]

This game is suposed to be something else but a MMO shooter is still a shooter.

[AtatakaiSamurai]

so an MMO where you melee in pvp is a hack 'n slash and not an MMO? it's like people just want to be ignorant.

[MysticStrummer]

It may end up as a "fast food" shooter, but if you watch some of the past videos where the developers talk about what they have in mind for the game, it has the potential to be something very different and cool. Only time will tell.

[Crusade]

*walks away in disappointment after confusing this with Rockstar's Agent*

[liveActionLeveler]

I just figured out that they are different games, almost forgot lol. I was kinda dissapointed.

[hiredhelp]

i gota say im pritty disapointed.i thought this was gonna be spy stuff.and visually i thought gonna be realistic not cartoony. wtf. DAM!!

[dragonyght]

the trailer is about PVP part of the game

[bigrob123]

well glad to know this game still exists as there's been next to nothing on this for a few years now

[candystop]

I can't get the video to play.:(

Did E3 already start for Sony or something? They sure have announced quite a few games already. MAybe there are just to many announcements to fit into there show so they had no choice but to show some early.

[arakouftaian]

The Agency, it looks fun, better than b4 we will c
i will keep my eyes on it

[tony6767]

damn look awesome

[zeddy]

i always mistake this dam game with the agent

[dagreylion]

looks good maybe they will show more or better @ E3.

[xc7x]

looks a bit more respectable now,i thought this would follow the goofy TF2 direction at first but looks like it's taking a better turn i.m.o. but still not liking the cartoon graphics.

[supremacy]

hearing somewhere that this was suppose to be Sony's team fortress.

You can say have a friend who's being held captive by the opposing team be free through a negotiation which you can make happen via your ps3 or even a cellphone. There's more to this game than meets the eye.

Thus far Sony's got a barrage of games under the hood they haven't even announced never mind the ones they already have.

Now there's even a rumor of a heavenly sword sequel in works? man.. Sony you're killing me.

Now if they go on stage and announced 8 days, Getaway 3, Syphon filter, Starhawk and Twisted metal I'm going to have a heart attack.

Just to add to that cardiac, a ps3 version of jak and daxter, sly cooper, Omega boost, Wild arms, The legend of dragoon, Dark cloud, Rogue galaxy, and Legend of Legaia.

[bviperz]

So little time. Sigh, if only I could be young and without a mortgage again...

[rob6021]

That is a massive graphical leap from the last time we saw it.
