It's been a long time since we last heard from SOE about their upcoming PS3/PC MMO action game, The Agency. There's a lot of potential in this online initiative. Watch the SOE presentation from the CES show in Las Vegas, and tell us what you think. It appears the game isn't delivering on every level, but the concept has us excited.

I would be lying if I said it looked good now, but for something with months (at least) of development left I'd say it has promise.

the animation on the A.I. was really bad. They look like stick figures. Game just looks stiff to me. As of right now not something I'd want to buy.

Makes me laugh when the guy says, "what you're seeing here is actual gameplay"
Really ?!?, I thought it was CG (sarcasm)
Seriously, it looks like ass.

Umm, these are old videos BTW. Saw them on PS3Forums before CES even started...

It says it's footage from CES (probably from today) and the host repeats over and over that this is live. I don't think this is something old.

Umm.. it was RECORDED live.. as in.. it wasn't a pre-rendered simulation.
This is the same video I saw in Vegas at Sony's FanFaire in August, but there was another segment or two of gameplay.
The video is surely at least 5 months old, and even then it was stated that it was on a very very early version of the game engine, and would be visually improved. They stressed that this was just to illustrate some of the gameplay elements.

At the end of the video, he said it is due out next year, so there's plenty of time to clean up the graphics.

If you guys would have actually read the posts on NeoGAF you would see that a lot of these people have seen the footage a long time ago.
As in E307. THIS IS NOT FROM CES. I SAW IT 2 DAYS AGO, AND WAS LABELED OLD AT THAT TIME.

The graphics are bad but they will have loads of time to fix that efore release. It is a great idea for a game and I hope it works.

Yep, indeed this is old footage from last year, probably last year's E3 or even before that. Aznsniper: one shot, one miss.

This game looks really cool and shows some potential so I would buy it but not if there is a subscription fee on this since there are much better MMO's coming out for PS3 (like the NCSoft IP's).

This game really needs a make over. I hate the way it looks. To think this runs on the Unreal Engine. That engine really is great but these devs are not doing it justice. I hope this game has a beta. So people can tell the devs what needs work.

why did they show the game in this crappy condition? i know its still in development but, c'mon, it looks like crap. i've seen better graphics in xbox1 shooters. my interest has gone from curious to no way...

I was hoping this would be our warhawk-type mmo but the environments look too scripted and rail-like.
I must needs see video of PVP action then we can talk.
