Agent is a cancelled action / sandbox style game that was in development in 2003 by Rockstar San Diego / Angel Studios, for the Playstation 2 and Xbox. There are not many info available on the project, as it was never officially announced, but we can assume that it was going to be somehow similar to the GTA series. In the end the game was never finished for unknown reasons, but it’s possible that Rockstar San Diego had to shift resources to finish Red Dead Revolver. Only few screens and a video from an ealry prototype / tech demo are saved in the gallery below, to preserve its existence.
A new project also called Agent is now in development at Rockstar North for the Playstation 3, but we are not sure if the 2 games are somehow related. As we can read in Wikipedia, Agent by Rockstar Nord will be set in the world of the late 1970s and it will “take players on a paranoid journey into the world of counter-intelligence, espionage, and political assassinations”.

It is really coming to the PS3. however it is going to be released soon.
No further details yet regarding the setting for the title other than the fact that it will be set in the late 1970s.
Amazing how long this game is taking to surface. Firstly we had word it was a PS3 exclusive then the same guy – Sony’s CEO, Jack Tretton says he’s not sure.
Rockstar still maintain that Agent is “COMING SOON” though. Fingers crossed.
At this point, maybe they could just release it for the next-gen consoles :P
I think Agent, its the prototype for L.A. Noire
It was always rumoured that in order to get the DLC for GTA IV as an Xbox 360 Exclusive, MS paid Rockstar $50 Million.No such deal ever seemed on the cards for PS3 Agent to be an exclusive, instead Ben Feder, Publisher President simply said: ‘Eclusitivity does work (when launching a new franchise)’
sometimes i’d like to update this article on Agent PS2 / Xbox, or even better make a page for the cancelled PS3 / Xbox 360 version.. such an interesting and mythical lost game :O
