One of the PLAYSTATION3’s most promising exclusive
titles would be that of SONY’s Massively Multi-Player Online
Espionage title, The Agency. With a persistent
 world and an
inviting Character Class dynamic,
Electronic Theatre
had it’s eyes firmly peeled for any new information on the game.
Unfortunately, all that was available was a brief
demonstration of the title’s Character Creation feature and a single
Mission. A handful of new information, however, was uncovered.
Firstly, the title will feature three types of Mission, based on the
length of time available for play. Quick Missions will feature
around ten-to-fifteen minutes gameplay, basic Missions coming in at
twenty-to-thirty, and the larger scale missions lasting in the
region of an hour. SONY Online Entertainment will apparently be
aiming for bi-weekly updates for both the PLAYSTATION3 and PC
release, which are set to include further Missions and new
locations, amongst others.
Of the three Character Classes available – Stealth,
Combat and Support – the Stealth Class will feature special Alias
Missions, which incorporate sneaking into enemy territory with
unique game mechanics. It’s assumed at this stage that each
Character Class will have their own specific Mission type, but not
yet confirmed. The ability to switch Character Classes at will,
however, has been included.
Little more, aside form the Press Releases, is known
about The Agency at present, including an expected release
date or that all-important matter of whether or not a Subscription
Fee will be required, and if so, exactly how much it will cost. |
