The Agency interview with first trailer of the game
51
GamersInfo.net's interview with The Agency's design director, Matt Wilson.
"Matt Wilson: The basic premise behind The Agency is to live the life of an elite spy agent. We intend to do this by really immersing the player in what they've been used to seeing in movies like James Bond or the Bourne series or in TV shows like 24 or Alias, to really give them that experience of living the life of an elite agent. Whether that comes from the lifestyle, the locations or the over-the-top action moments that people love to see. We want to give them something exciting that they would typically expect in that kind of action/intrigue genre."
See the alternative sources below for the direct link to the trailer.

1.1 - But was that the purpose of the game?
Or was it to make an enjoyable MMOG.
Locoroco and Parapa didn't show off the abilities of the Ps2 but they were fun games.
NOW it seems people want great gaphics and don't care about gameplay.
I remember a time when people complained about certain games having great graphics but the gameplay was rubbish.
Man. You can't win on this site.

Sorry you feel that way 49er. This game looks hot to mee for an MMO. Honestly, I rarely ever thought about playing an MMO but this has definitely got me interested.
The graphics and art direction has a certain asethetic appeal that I like. The game actually looks like it will be fun and entertaining and I think that's all I can ask. I'll find out first hand when I pick up my copy.
Maybe I'll be the only one playing this game.

you will not be the only one playing this game. I'm getting that game aswell. I plan on being a spy/stealth type person (I'm into that ninja/assassin type thing). But man, that commado (in that trailer) coming in the room and blasting everything around him. CLASSIC!!!

This game holds no mystery for me. As an undercover operative of the salvation army, this is everyday life for me, so really quite humdrum.

Seriously though - it does look rather good.

Personally my negativity was expecting something really, really big to be announced as part of the "June 11th surprise," rather than a trailer for an SOE game. It looks good, and I'll check it out, but I was hoping for something on Killzone 2, as were quite a few others.

7 - what sup with all the negativity?
I am actually very impressed with what I have seem, what is WRONG with the graphics? Smooth, good particle effect, good art directions (in lines with Half' Life's Team Fortress. The graphic really isn't bad at all, it's just the art direction that it's taking it into a more cartoony look as oppose to Drake's Fortune.
And one thing, games lack now aday that it has..at least from the trailer. Humor!
I didn't thinki would interested in a SPY MMO First person shooter, I thought it was too radical of a idea and deviation from the genre, but I must say, WOW!! and collecting NPCs for your own branch and have them do things for you offline and send u a email when things are ready or when they get taken hostage by other NPCs or "real players maybe", it's absolutely nice concept, makes you really feel like you are connected, of course beware of being over addicted to games like this though!
If monthly fee is low, this is a steal!

Sorry, couldn't resist after all the hype. :)
It doesn't look awful, but it's not exactly stellar either. And the "it's good for an MMOG" argument doesn't hold up when you consider Huxley looks almost as good as Gears of War.

"The art direction reminds me of a next gen No One Lives Forever (thats a good thing, by the way)."
well, anyway, positive news for ps3. =)
p.s. i didn`t like graphics on screens, but in motion it`s something between NolF and Fear & Effect, looking good.
Looking forward. =]

The graphics and actions are deliberately cartoony and exaggerated in the same manner as Team Fortress 2 - which is also going to roll with HL2.

It's not really comparable to Team Fortress 2. TF2 is beautifully cel shaded (this isn't, at least not to that extent) with superb lighting and hardly a jaggie or an angular model in sight (not the case with The Agency). They're both cartoony and have some similar character classes, but that's where visual similarities pretty much end.

18 - The New York TImes
mentioned that SOE's income is almost 100% subscription right now and they want to decrease that and one of the plan is online advertisment, If they offer me the ability to play for free (or reduced price) and gives me ads to see in game (posters, movie trailers that runs in background) vs full price...bring the ads on..i dont mind. Agency is also takes place in REAL world setting bc trailer saids "somehwere in Prague"; advertisment of "real products" like ipod, Nike, or whatever u have is extremely suitable.
just a thought.

28 - The game looks really interesting
It's a FPS/TPS with the ability to do MMO style missions and power ups. If it's not a sink hole of time like FFXI was, then I would definitely consider picking it up. IF the game has that, fun anywhere game play down then I don't see how this game won't kick ass. It's sounds like the perfect combination of MMO and FPS. I like the concept of it too with the whole spy thing. It won't sound as dorky when I talk about ingame things since I won't be using staffs, rings of ice and bastard swords of spank em' plenty. How people can be criticizing a non HD resolution image of the game is also beyond me. This game has a lot of potential, I just wish that A-Hole wouldn't have hyped it like it was the next coming of Christ.

37 - This will be difficult to pull off effectively...
and one fault(or gripe, rather) that I notice is that everyone seems to be playing as a secret agent.
I think a more interesting way to execute a spy MMO would be to have actual players become a part of the organizations and groups that the spies are conducting their operations on or against, this way you could include actual dialogue and trickery to gather intel, as opposed to the tired old menu system and fetch quests.
I would love to see user-based/created crime-rings, corporations, corrupt politicians, officials, etc. THAT would make for an immersing experience in my book. The sky's the limit for corruption and double-crosses with this many variables.
Either way, it is something somewhat new, and it does look interesting for what it is, but I think they would do well to put their heads together a bit more. Certainly doesn't look bad, just seems like it could use some refinement.

"everyone seems to be playing as a secret agent."
I guess that cancels out the secret part.
"I would love to see user-based/created crime-rings, corporations, corrupt politicians, officials, etc."
That would definitely be cool, but would take a lot of time and effort to really get it right (but in the end it would be worth it).
