I visited the website, and toke me about 10mins to figue out how it works SMILEY but anyway, so your an spy in a mmo? Can anyone give me more info rather then sending me to that website? or theres no other info then the webtsite it self?

This Months Game Informer has an actual article on it and the stuff that SoE is trying to get it to do. Like your clothing affects your game play style. can interact from your cellphone in real life.. Its quite a interesting game there trying to make.. But im not sure if NDA is lifted so im keeping my mouth shut and only saying what i read in this months Game informer. but ill say this.. SoE pull this one off and you'll be golden in my books for life again

It looks interesting but the recent admission of limited customisation of your avatar and an extension of MxO's (already frustrating) 'you are what you wear' - is a real let down for a new mmo imo
#36300294055 07/30/2007 13:48:23 Re: "The Agency"
Aslong as it joins "Station Access" Im there.
#36300294070 07/30/2007 14:21:47 Re: "The Agency"
lol was thinking about seting up a fansite for this, then i remember i dont no how to build one so that stopped thier. anyway im looking foreword to this and im likening the idea of getting people instead of loot. Also Tytanya im sure they are going to have way more resources then MxO so im sure we will get plenty of clothes and i for one HATE class systems in other games and love the fact that i can change at any time in MxO and looking very forword to seeing it been used here as well. SMILEY i think its going to be good.

also did anyone else find the video of two agency trying to rescue that guy funny forsome reason i just found the girl reaction really funny

Now watching the video from fan faire.

They have our Club Succubus, the same sign and everything.

This is definately the game Walrus is producing.

This is not an MMO.

It is a persistent FPS akin to SOE's Planetside.

MMOFPS? SMILEY

Although PlanetSide had little to no RPG elements, I'm sure The Agency will be a little more RPG-ish.

#36300298076 08/06/2007 14:24:20 Re: "The Agency"
Alot of people are wanting to try this. walrus said MxO people will like it, well hes expecting them too.

#36300298095 08/06/2007 14:42:02 Re: "The Agency"
If I ever get a better PC then I'll give it a try.
#36300298342 08/06/2007 21:11:01 Re: "The Agency"
The Agency is an MMO that incorporates the cinematic feel of spy movies in an attempt to bring a more mainstream audience to the online community. It will be released on the PS3 and PC, and you will receive certain updates about in game events and new updates from "contacts" (your agents in game) through a cell phone. The game mechanics aren't just in a FPS setting although that is a large part of the gameplay. It's possible to race/escape from scenes, sneak into certain bases, go club hopping and take pictures for intel, etc. There seems to be an emphasis on allowing the player to take any sort of approach to solving a problem, even if it's not a combat oriented solution. The graphics are smooth, although it does have sort of a light hearted/silly feel. Definitely one to look out for.
#36300299719 08/08/2007 21:10:58 Re: "The Agency"

I was able to see the trailer for it at the SOE Fanfaire, and Walrus told us a lot of how it works.  DEFINATELY a must play.  There are a few unique elements to it that I am really wanting to try out.  Keep your eyes peeled for this one!

#36300300082 08/09/2007 08:58:08 Re: "The Agency"
This looks like a new game that I'd definitely want to try, it's just I hope this isn't going to replace MxO. >_>

QFT.

I can't wait to get a play on this, the developers who were attending were extremely impressive when talking about the game and what it offers in the future.

#36300300318 08/09/2007 14:31:30 Re: "The Agency"

They should make it so that you have to have 30 days of play time to get a trial key actually.

Well the reason that they spoke faster was that we had a Private screening of it since they were really done for the day. But then, when i told Walrus (right after our Mxo Discussion Panel) that you have to take that survey in order for us to see the screening, Walrus hooked us up for a private screening of it.

Does the bucket require the fish still in it? Seeing How I seriously am loving the looks of this game. Only for of course one of the Agency's your kicking it like a rock star until mission time. Then ya kick the mission rock star style.
