Gamesindustry.biz posted a interesting article about the upcoming PS3- Exclusive, Agent.
According to Ben Feder, CEO of  Take Two, Agent is going to re-define the genre.

“The game, like anything from Rockstar North, is going to be very, very cool. It’s going to push the edge, it’s going to be genre-defining and it’s going to be a whole new way of experiencing videogames that we haven’t really seen before.

“They’re the best development team on the planet,” added Feder, referring to Rockstar North. “We have a lot of respect for Sony, we have a lot of good business relationships with Sony. The PlayStation platforms are best suited for the title.”

Gamespot has posted a Interview with Ben Feder talking about Agent. Is Agent the next Grand Theft Auto well we don’t know yet what Rockstar is cooking for us. Although Ben did say It’s the A Team working on an AAA Title.

We think this has the potential to be yet another great Rockstar North franchise title….It’s the Houser Brothers and Rockstar North. It’s the A team working on an AAA title. I think the subject matter, the characters, the story, the environment, the background–all the elements are there. It’s such a rich environment to play in.”

According to Ben Feder: “Exclusivity does work,”
He gives a clear explanation why Agent is a PS3 exclusive,

“At this phase in the cycle, when you’re trying to launch a new franchise, exclusivity can really help you launch the franchise. It can give you the kind of platform that you need to start exclusive, start in the right kind of way with the right kind of partner. Exclusivity does work,” said president of Take-Two, Ben Feder”

“I have a lot of confidence in Sony. I have a lot of confidence in their ability to lead the market, as they always have. Their console is a terrific platform to be developing for, and Agent is a great testament as to our belief in what that platform can do, and what they can do with us as part of a partnership.”

With Agent, the team at Rockstar North can fully concentrate on 1 console, which means they have a lot more time to spend on the game.

We still don’t know if this is a GTA-type of game, a 3rd person ,etc.

Stay tuned.

Well, we don’t know that much about Agent yet, so everything is welcome in these times.

The main thing we know is: “‘Set in the 1970s and full of delicious espionage, will be “the ultimate action game”

Eurogamer had a chance to sit down with Ben Feder the CEO of Take Two Interactive, he gives away some information in a flamboyant way.

“Very, very different storylines, very different character development” from the wildly successful Rockstar North series Grand Theft Auto.

“It’s a game about espionage, set in the 1970s. GTA is obviously more about an urban experience, a typically rags to riches experience,” Feder says. “It’s going to be very fresh for gamers.””

The Take-Two CEO doesn’t have much to share beyond that, opting to opine “I think gamers will be blown away by it.
