It’s State of Play day, my mates.
Tonight, Sony returns with its newest showcase, providing over 40 minutes of reveals on “must-play video games coming to PS5”.
The announcement merely says that the present will spotlight a “number of nice video games from creators throughout the globe” so I’m guessing we’ll see each first and third get together titles.
The occasion kicks off at 2pm PT / 5pm ET / 10pm BST / 11pm CEST.
As with each State of Play, followers are theorising about what they’d wish to see unveiled, however they’re additionally reflecting on reveals of the previous.
One reveal that’s engrained in lots of our minds is that of Agent.
You’re going to must solid your thoughts all the way in which again to 2009 when it was unveiled that Rockstar Video games can be releasing a brand new IP for the PlayStation 3 titled, you guessed it, Agent.
In reality, the sport was introduced on 2 June so we’ve simply handed its anniversary.
Agent was to be a stealth motion sport set through the Seventies chilly warfare.
It had been teased for a number of years forward of its eventual reveal. Admittedly, we by no means discovered that a lot out about Agent past the truth that gamers would take part in “counter-intelligence, espionage and political assassinations”.
As you might be guessing although primarily based on the truth that you’ve by no means performed this sport, Agent was in the end cancelled with the trademark for the title having been deserted again in 2018.
What went unsuitable with Agent? Nicely, that’s laborious to pin down because it’s a sport shrouded in secrecy.
It’s believed that the staff engaged on Agent was finally drafted in to help on GTA V as an alternative.
Was it simply that GTA V had a bigger imaginative and prescient? Had been the 2 video games too related in design? It’s a little bit of a thriller however the backside line is that Agent by no means got here to be.
It’s why early reveals have been phased out of the video video games business; unfulfilled guarantees aren’t one thing followers are going to let devs neglect.
A lot in order that Agent continues to be being roasted to this present day.
“It was by no means formally cancelled, it’s nonetheless coming guys,” joked SoundwaveXP.
“Marvel when it’s popping out. It’s been some time since we’ve seen something,” added a sarcastic JDCruz1025.
“They’ll lastly unveil it at Summer time Recreation Fest,” replied Literalthrowaw5.
Haha, very humorous guys. Rockstar would by no means revive the concept … would they? Perhaps we must always clown.
