Today when Sony Online Entertainment officially announced The Agency, an espionage themed MMO for the PC and PlayStation 3, I was stunned.
Not by the concept -- it's about time more MMOs start shedding the wizard and troll formula of old. I was also not stunned by the game's visuals -- it looks polished and competent enough alongside other next-gen offerings, so there's no surprise there. In fact, I wasn't even surprised about the announcement of the game itself, as it's been mentioned more than a few times in multiple print videogame magazines prior to today.
Here's what stunned me: the lack of clothing these chicks are wearing. Don't get me wrong, when it comes to females in videogames, it's "clothing optional" for me, baby. But how is one supposed to perform covert spy activies with their mid-riff showing like that? Who's not looking?
Check the gallery for a handful of a screens (three!) and even more concept art from The Agency.

Hey, maybe he needs the money doing cameo work.
If there's gonna be jumping and flipping around, there better good boob physics.
That'll be a microtransaction.
Im under the impression that when they said action heroes and blow shit up that i could be arnold.
I dont want that impression to change.
The corsets prevent you from making breathing sounds.
it's an SoE MMO for crying out loud, when since EQ have they released an MMO that was not garbage?
blah
And Sony really need to stop trying to beat WoW. They tried to beat The Halo's and failed. Do something new in a market that's untapped rather than this "me too" approach plz.
.....weird
