  • Welcome to The Agency Guide
    • ]]>     This E3 was the first time in a long time I have had some news about The Agency game. You can check out an interview and an preview article, but we will give you some of the important information here.

    agency_e3One of the important things in the Agency is to not make it like most traditional MMOs like WoW or Age of Conan. In the agency you don’t have to choose a class that you stick to all the game. You have to decide on which faction you want to join, either ParaGON or U.N.I.T.E, but that is about it. To choose which role you want to play when you start a mission or do something, you put on the clothes you need to fulfill your role, and you get the skills.

    It looks like one of the very important factors is to make it a shooter. The Agency is not a dice-rolling game where you autoattack until your target is dead. This is a shooter, which means your FPS-skills and reaction is the most important. This is something I think is a really refreshing style. I do like FPSers like Battlefield 2 or Battlefield Heroes, but you do not get the same MMORPG-feel as if you can do missions with your friends.

    Another good thing is that it seems like the game is more or less complete, but there is still no beta test date, release date or even any information about how the game will be financed. It seems like Sony will try to release it on Playstation 3 and PC at the same time, but so far it looks like it will be separate servers for the two systems. Stay tuned for hopefully more updates soon!

One of the biggest difficulties that The Agency is facing, is making a game that satisfies both PC gamers and console gamers. Many games has tried this in the past, but this has mainly been first-person shooters, like call of duty. MMORPGs are a completely different type of game, that requires a completely different approach. PC gamers who play mmos are expecting to could utilize the whole keyboard for shortcuts, while console gamers only have a very limited amount of buttons they can use. Age of Conan has long been planning to release to consoles, but still having problems, since they haven’t released it yet.

    Another thing we really can look forward to, is that he says they would like to release a closed beta sooner that later. We will keep on posted on any news about when and where you can sign up for the beta, and we will be the first to say; “YES, we want beta keys naow!”.
