AGENT: Investigating Rockstar's Unreleased Game

Special thanks to Diego Reviews for lending his voice

At E3 2009, Rockstar Games would announce Agent from Grand Theft Auto developer Rockstar North. It would never release. Let's take a look at Rockstar's Cancelled Agent Project, how the company Rockstar was changing in and around the release of GTA V, LA Noire, and Red Dead Redemption and how it affected the future as we move towards Grand Theft Auto 6.
