SOE "The Agency" Interview tomorrow.

[LaLiLuLeLo]

Alright guys, we have an interview with the guys behind The Agency, the new PS3 spy mmo. If you have any questions about it, anything at all about the game, post your questions here and we'll squeeze in as many as we can! We want to take advantage of this interview. Holla!:wave:

[Coded-Dude]

I'll have to review whats been said so I don't ask something already asked or released, but I definitely have a few questions for this one. I'll post em later tonight.

[Z]

as always, the default question; PSN demo? when?

[Coded-Dude]

Are you still weighing the options of various subscription services and other added fees like expansion packs(etc.), or have you chosen a particular payment system to go with?

Will game-play require a keyboard/mouse, or are you incorporating SIXAXIS support as well?

What types of ideas do you have for potential HOME interoperability?

What different types of vehicles will be playable?

If you want, ask for game resolution and frame rate numbers. :shifty:

btw - beta is confirmed, but a date is not - however, the release date is not confirmed
So...ask for those! ;-]


Thats all I have for now.

[LaLiLuLeLo]

some very good questions. Keep em' coming! we don't have much longer.

[Passive]

ask about the character customisations? like clothing? faces? hair? stuf like that how big of a variety will we see?

[user friendly]

- The beta date for sure

- How many weapons will be usable and will there be weapons added down the road?

- Ask if they are programming for rumble/touch sense tech. :whip:

[Z]

ask when will it be on PC as well and if PS3 and PC gamers will be able to play with each other. :)

[yoshaw]

My question

- Keyboard, mouse for aim on PS3 in FPS perspective?

[Z]

here is a question with a ready answer for you:

Q- How awesome is your game?

A- So Awesome!

lol, that Penny Arcade joke gets me every time!

[Coded-Dude]

What size of a team does SOE plan to have support the game after its release?

Will the game be down loadable via PSN?

Well users be able to customize their UI, like in WOW, or will it be the same for everyone?

[Kiosko]

How big is the base? Can we upgrade to a bigger more improved one such as Dr. Evils?

If this world is expansive, how long do you think it will take to explore?

About the missions: Will there be a certain amount at the release then more tricking in on a monthly basis?

If you are planning episodic content how much do you think it will cost?

[Coded-Dude]

so are we getting video, audio, transcript....or all three?

[cliffbo]

ask them whether there will be any PSP integration and if so will it be to assist other players by providing them with inventions?

[frosty]

sorry bro, too late. we already did the interview. came out great. actually makes me want the game now.

[Coded-Dude]

makes me want to punch you in the face for not posting teh melons!!!

[frosty]

well, no melons (it's in video form, no stills), though we did get a confirmation of rumble.

[supagohan]

WHOOO!
Thats what i wanted to here.
Thanks Frosty.

[frosty]

[Z]

good work. I am curious; will we have an d/l ISO version as well this time too?

[LiquidEagle]

hehehehehe.... guess when they're aiming to get this game out...?

[Coded-Dude]

don't tease....I will hunt you down and do bad things to you!

I want to see this video, yesterday! :rant:


j/k - kind of O:-]

[Vegtro]

How has or does the new proposition of Sony-Epic deal helped benefit the optimization of the game?

[yoshaw]

^Was this a UE3 game?

[Applefiend]

According to Wikipedia

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Agency_(video_game)

It's Unreal 3.0. After all it is a shooter.

How will this effect it, gonna look better!

[Vegtro]

Some questions:

From what I remembered, classes are based on the clothing of the character. Can we customize the clothing to create a hybrid/mix of classes such as Dual Class?

Is the game system/structure similar to Guild Wars or WoW? Wouldn't the Guild Wars structure be more convenient for mission types than the structure of WoW?

[Coded-Dude]

they already did the interview, so your questions will either be answered once its released, or you will have to wait and see. ;-]

[LiquidEagle]

When I asked them about a beta, the SOE guy said, "uh... actually we're hoping for a 2009 release, so the beta will be a little bit before that."

Hoping for 2009.

That was kinda disappointing :(

[LaLiLuLeLo]

Liquid you and I are gonna be too busy beating MGS4 over and over and over and over and over again to even care about any other game until 2009 at the earliest, so don't feel bad.

[LiquidEagle]

Oh I don't feel bad in the least... I almost depressed myself one day at work when I thought about what I'd have to look forward to in life once MGS4 comes out... I mean, what will I REALLY have to look forward to? I've always known there'd be another MGS as soon as I beat 1, 2, & 3, but after 4 the series as we know it will largely come to an end...

So, bring on the games for later 2008 and 2009 (& beyond! don't stop making games even though it's impossible to top MGS4 :-p)!!

[Z]

there will be more MGS games after 4. trust me.

as for me, I'll be busy beating Killzone 2 again, and again, and again. ;)
