Rockstar: king of the free-roam 
secret agents: awesome 
 
So when i heard the two are meeting, i went crazy.  i think i actually jumped up and down like a little schoolgirl(and im a guy, so that tells u how excited i was.). but, its been a long time, and spidey, master chief, and mvc3 have caught my attention, but this is still in the back of my head. When will pictures, trailers, or anything come?

I know this is several months after you posted, but I could see this being a big hit at this years E3.. at least I hope so

 Rockstar is the inventor of the free-roam, but no where near the king.
Their formula has not changed in 10 years.  The best free-roam games are not rockstar games.

Maybe.  LA Noire is already out by the time E3 comes along, but I don't remember R* pimping out another game so soon after their last game was released. "

 
Hasn't this been renamed The Agency and is an MMO similar to APB? 
 
When it was first announced my mind went to GTA + Secret Agents, which sounded impressive, but there were a couple screen shots on an article on Gamespot a while back and it didn't look impressive from recollection. Plus the allusion to APB didn't sound good. 
   
Of course I'll wait until some solid news comes with trailers / gameplay or even details; i think it was just suggested it was an MMO 
 
As above, LA Noire will be coming out around the same time and will more than likely be a big seller and create a lot of news so showing a new game soon after probably isn't going to happen; and I think Rockstar don't usually show their stuff at E3. Unless Sony pressures them to show something to get some headlines for PS3, but its E3, i can't imagine Sony needing to generate headlines. 

it took 5 months for this topic to get going.

Considering that the main page for this game says it was supposed to come out last year and here in 2011 it still has no real info much less a release date I wouldn't expect anything from it at the 2011 E3.  In fact I wouldn't expect to see this game on the market until like quarter 3 2012 at the earliest.

lol no  The Agency is some MMO that Sony has been working on for about six hundred years, and every time they show it off, it gets worse and worse. It also may never see the light of day. Agent is, well, no one knows what Agent is other than it's title, Rockstar is making it, and it's exclusive to the PS3. "

Who would you say makes the best free-roam games? "

Not sure but I'm just saying the Assassin's Creed games, the Yakuza games, Infamous, Red Faction guerrilla, The Saboteur, Mercenaries: playground of Destruction are way better than any Rockstar open world games. At least I think so. "

 I don't think so; I can't speak for Yakuze / Infamous / Saboteur and granted Assassin's Creed 2 is great example of open world games but Red Faction Guerilla isn't. Its quite lifeless. Unless you're talking about destruction or scale, which I would say it does well.    But i think each example pails in comparison to GTAIV. That game world felt alive and small details really made it so. AC2 doesn't have the same detail in non-story related material. It had more and different objections or missions but little in the way of creating a world. Mostly because the world is real, you can walk around Florence without a lot of backstory because its Florence whereas Liberty City being a fictitious contemporary city had to sell itself harder in the way of interaction and depth and did so well i think.  I feel Rockstar are still the best designers of open world games. Except maybe Bethesda. "

It was awhile before we heard anything about LA Noire, and then bam! They just started announcing stuff out of the blue. I suppose this will be similar. A few weeks after LA Noire comes out we'll start getting stuff.

I don't want to get into this for billionth time, but I really really didn't like GTA 4. I thought the story and the characters were awful and unlikeable. "

" San Andreas was fucking awesome. "  

" @Andorski: The second Saint's Row game definitely tried too hard, but it was an ok game. Hopefully the Third one only get's better.  "

" Saint's Row is an okay alternative, but Volitions' attempt to be humorous about gangster life isn't comparable to when R* does it. "
