Kezins.com was able to sneak into SOE’s facility and interview Lead Writer and Game Designer Matt Staroscik on the upcoming Spy-themed massively multiplayer shooter, The Agency™.
I’ve played plenty of MMO’s. Star Wars Galaxies, World of Warcraft and Age of Conan. The common denominators are… PC and monthly fees. Something tells me ‘The Agency’ will be different… a GOOD different. I asked the questions — Will we see monthly fees when The Agency makes it’s way to the PS3? When can we expect a release date of The Agency? How customizable will the game be? The Interview below…
We’re excited that a spy-themed MMO shooter will make it’s way to a console, the PlayStation 3. Dressing in our most convincing attire and speaking as smooth as Vanilla Ice in ‘Cool as Ice’, we asked Lead Writer and Game Designer Matt Staroscik several questions that he was “permitted” to confirm.
There’s been rumors that SOE plans to charge a monthly fee for ‘The Agency’ based on it being an MMO. If true, will this fee be limited to the PC or will both platforms (PC and PS3) see this monthly charge?
The Powers That Be are considering a number of approaches. To stay flexible, the way we are building the game content makes us compatible with a lot of different options. Our executives will be closely watching how Free Realms is received, and applying any lessons learned there to future products like The Agency.
Whatever they decide, I would be very surprised if any payment scheme was not identical for PC and PS3 players.
