Rockstar Games founder Sam Houser has described the company’s forthcoming PlayStation 3 exclusive title Agent as ‘the ultimate action game.’
The title was confirmed as an exclusive to Sony’s console during the format holder’s E3 press conference yesterday morning -- and according to Houser, Rockstar has high ambitions for the project.
“We have always enjoyed making action games, and with Agent we are making what we believe will be the ultimate action game,” he said in a statement.
“Agent is a game we have wanted to make for a long time. The team in Edinburgh is doing an amazing job combining intense action, atmosphere and story in a great period setting to create something that feels quite unique."
“We cannot wait for people to experience this game,” added Houser.
Agent takes place during the Cold War-fuelled 1970s, guiding players on a ‘paranoid journey into the world of counter-intelligence, espionage and political assassinations.’ A release date has yet to be announced.

Ok, first off. I love and still play GTAIV but this guy talks such Loose Stool Water it begars belief. He could market death as the next big thing and have people hankering after it saying "WOW Dude this new death thing sounds awsome. Think I'll try it when I get my next pay check!" People! wait until you see something credible that you can base your assumptions on. This rant has officially finished. Move along people there's nothing to see here.....

Meh. Sounds like a James Bond copycat. Hope Rockstar delivers on this one. I agree with you #8. Nothing to see here.

It's funny how people can forget that R* generally do make good games as soon as they do a PS3 exclusive. Despite all it's faults, GTAIV is still easily one of the best games this crappy generation has put out and it seems Agent is being made the same studio. Wish there was footage though. Even just a crappy CGI trailer would have done.

i dont remember any rockstar games that wasn't really fun or enjoyable. so im pretty sure this is going to be the same. im basing this off the studios previous efforts and the quality they out into their games. But what happened to LA Noir, that was the rockstar game that was announced ages ago that i guess was either scrapped or is coming later and going to be multiplat.

I wonder when we will get the first pics or a trailer? If nothing during E3, I'm guessing GameInformer...
