Cancelled Rockstar espionage flick Agent ended up being filed away without releasing because the studio found a spy narrative impossible to reconcile with their open-world approach to games, according to long-time GTA writer Dan Houser. Despite that, Rockstar subsequently ended up getting halfway up the road of a secret agent-centric GTA 5 DLC before opting to don cowboy hats instead.
If the name Agent isn’t ringing any bells for you, Rockstar announced what would’ve been their take on a Bond-style spy game at E3 2009, attaching a PS3 exclusive tag to it. One would assume it’d likely have hit PC at some point, had it not ended up gradually fizzling out into cancellation instead.
