Rockstar North is developing a new PlayStation 3 exclusive title called Agent, Sony has announced.

The game will take players across the globe in the late 1970s and explore the shadowy world of espionage and assassins.

SCEA president and CEO Jack Tretton said: "We expect Agent to have the same must have value” as GTA did on PlayStation platforms.

UPDATE: Rockstar has now put out an official press release detailing Agent, which “takes players on a paranoid journey into the world of counter-intelligence, espionage and political assassinations during the height of the Cold War.”

Company founder Sam Houser said: "We have always enjoyed making action games, and with Agent we are making what we believe will be the ultimate action game. Agent is a game we have wanted to make for a long time. The team in Edinburgh is doing an amazing job combining intense action, atmosphere and story in a great period setting to create something that feels quite unique."

One more thing I never ever going to buy a console. I would rather quit gaming. If I want to play a game on consoles. I am going to rent the game and console.

If I do buy a console it will be a used console from gamestop. That is if natal even works well
