The second find is from another former 3D artist. The game was originally targeted for the PlayStation 2 and Xbox.
Rockstar San Diego
Upcoming Playstation 2 / Xbox title "Agent".
What is interesting is that the second 3D artist only worked at Rockstar San Diego from August 2003 to July 2004. That means that Agent was originally started somewhere in-between those dates.

Take-Two today held a conference call today to give people an update on the financial status of the company. CEO Ben Feder stated that Beaterator will be coming towards the end of this year. Also, in-spite of all the analysts claiming that there will be another big Grand Theft Auto next year, Feder also put those rumors to rest stating that there will not be a multiplatform Grand Theft Auto next year. Something interesting though is that Agent was not mentioned in the line up for next year. So either Agent will not be coming next year or Take-Two doesn't want to get people's hopes up. They also reconfirmed that Chinatown Wars will be coming in Q4 of this year which puts the release date sometime between July 1, 2009 through September 30, 2009.
