Superannuation is reporting some interesting finds from two different resumes. The first find is from a former 3D artist. The game was originally created by Rockstar San Diego and set in Cairo, Egypt.
Environment artist on Agent. Created city structures, textures, and props. as also chosen to join a small team of artists for overseas photo shoot to gather reference in Cairo, Egypt. This small team of 4 gathered over 10,000 photographs of the city of Cairo within five days.
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.
