Created for both the PC and PS3, the Agency features FPS style gun-fighting and has often been compared to the stylistic feel of the original Goldeneye for the N64. Players advance in the game by completing missions, building their own organizations and collecting top-of-the-line equipment and transportation.

One of the key elements of the game is the collection of "operatives" that will act as agents under the players indirect control. You can have them complete missions and operate in a variety of ways beyond what a player can do alone. Classes in the game are selected via a "you are what you wear" sort of system that allows players a bit of flexibility in how they play the game.

  • The Agency: Not Subscription-based?
    Free = Kinda Free

    John Smedley's talk on "Subscriptions vs Micro-transactions" at the Leipzig Games Convention this past week brought an interesting tidbit of news: SOE is considering making its upcoming spy MMOG, The Agency, free to play. With some hooks, of course. While the game wouldn't be subscription-based, players would only gain access to certain areas by paying for them. The folks over at PS3 Fanboy offered up the story:

  • The Agency: Video Q&A at ComicCon 2007

    My spy agency will be called, "The elite group of awesome spies." Yes, I'm original.

    Garrett Fuller's mission - and he chose to accept it - was an
    off-the-cuff video interview with Russ Shanks (COO of Sony Seattle)
    and Luke Anderson (The Agency Animator) on recent progress with the
    game.

    Our man Garrett had about a minute to come up with some questions for
    a three minute interview between presentations at SOE's Block Party at
    the San Diego International ComicCon last Saturday, and he pulled it
    off admirably (other than giving Luke quite a promotion!). Luke

  • The Agency: Preview at MPOGD

    Guns! Spies! Leather!

    MPOGD has a brand-new Agency preview for you all this morning.

    Action! Adventure! Intrigue! Sony Online's Seattle office has been hard at work on an upcoming First-Person Shooter style MMO titled The Agency, which will offer players the chance to become spies. At E3, we got our first glimpse of the game, with a pre-rendered trailer we were told was in-game footage. It looked pretty darned nice.

    Take a look at MPOGD.com.

  • Agency: E3 Preview

    These aren't very covert spies.

    WarCry has another new preview of the Agency.

    E3's demonstration of The Agency was not altogether different from what we saw at SOE Gamer Day and SOE Seattle's Corey Dangel, an Art Director on the game, admitted that was intentional. They showed the same videos and gameplay, but unlike Gamer Day, E3 afforded (oh how the world has turned on its head) more of a chance to actually sit down and talk to them about their game.
