Agent was revealed at Sony’s E3 conference and announced that it will be exclusive to the Sony Playstation 3 platform from prolific developer Rockstar Games in the form of Agent.  Besides a cool looking logo and a simple summary that the game would be a spy story set in the 1970s no other details were given. And of course in typical Rockstar fashion it’ll be quite some time before we see any media or learn new details on the project.

But the sharp eyes at the Superannuation blog have found some interesting info on Agent which shows that the project has been around for awhile. It seems that development on Agent has been going on for longer than we thought as the resume of a 3D modeler lists the game as a PlayStation 2 and Xbox title. The resume also lists the game as a Rockstar San Diego project which is interesting since the game is now being developed by the GTA team at Rockstar North. It’s unclear why development on Agent stopped when it was being developed on the PS2 and Xbox and why Rockstar decided to start things up again on the PS3.

The other interesting piece of info Superannuation dug up sheds some light on a potential environment in Agent.  Once again the info comes from a resume of an Environment Artist who lists his duties on Agent as being part of a team sent to Cairo to capture over 10,000 reference photos for the game.

This info is particularly interesting as it shows that Agent could be an international affair and it may be somewhat ditching the typical Rockstar format of sticking to one key sandbox location. Obviously this may not be the case as the Cairo trip was when Rockstar San Diego was working on the project so who knows what we can expect and what changes have been made since Rockstar North have taken over the project.  So if Rockstar did add Cairo locations in Agent that would be cool and unique due to the landscapes over there.

Rockstar Games entwickelt den fünften Teil der GTA-Reihe. Dies bestätigte Rockstar Games-Mitbegründer Dan Houser in einem Interview mit einer englischen Zeitung. Laut Dan Houser macht man sich Gedanken über den Handlungsort und dann erst über die Charaktere.

Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars – Gameover.gr

Μοιάζει σαν να μην έχει περάσει ο χρόνος από την ημέρα που το GTA Chinatown Wars κυκλοφόρησε για το DS και πραγματικά κατάφερε να μας εντυπωσιάσει. Η Rockstar, με μοναδική μαεστρία, “στρίμωξε” μια δημιουργία του συγκεκριμένου βεληνεκούς σε ένα απλό cartridge και σαφέστατα τράβηξε για ακόμα μια φορά τα βλέμματα επάνω της. Η κυκλοφορία ή, πιο σωστά, η μεταφορά του τίτλου στο PlayStation Portable μοιάζει να είναι μια φυσική εξέλιξη, με τον τίτλο να αναζητά διακαώς την αναγνώριση που του αρμόζει.[next]

 

So – Movember, Day 4.

And I think I saw a hair retract. That aside, I’d like to share some links – a few Movember related competitions and one little Facebook app to get you inspired to get your Mo on.

Now, on to the Movember link joy.

Express your Inner Mo!

An app created by Movember Australia sponsor Cool Ridge, it takes daily photos of your Mo’gress and strings them together into a reel. It links to your donation page, so folks can donate to you directly (Note: Team donation links don’t work) and in-app you can see all your Facebook connected MoBro’s and their Mo’gress. Pretty awesome, and there’s a quiz to sort out exactly which style of Nose Neighbour you should aim for.

So, that’s all the Movember funkiness I’ve found so far. If you know of a competition or amusing/useful application I’ve missed out on, please comment and let me know.

Till next time, Mo Bro’s and Sista’s – May your Mo’ grow swift and full.

New GTA Poster, Bye bye Liberty City!

In the manual of the recently released Grand Theft Auto: Episodes From Liberty City a teaser picture is shown declaring that “Liberty City, It’s Over” and at the bottom it says “Next Stop” with the corner torn, showing some landscape and the word ‘Seagull’.

This could mean anything but….as Destructoid points out, wasn’t Vice City known for its beaches? We all know Seagulls, those pesky buggers, are quite common in beach areas, but then again seagulls aren’t exactly a rare breed of bird which opens up the possibilities to just about anywhere.

It’s nice to know the next GTA will feature a change of scenery but where this scenery will be is the question. Where do you think the next GTA will take place?
