Lighting sure is patchy. Textures are inconsistent.

It does sort of explain why the urban environments look significantly better than the trailer park. Re-used assets. So is there some sort of trade off? GTA IV looks to have better draw distances, lighting, animation. Will this trade those off for better physics and textures?Eteric Rice said:

Trailer trash throwing cement blocks. They get points for creativity there.

Throwing cinder blocks in a trailer park wearing jean shorts. Gaming at a high point.
"Pre-alpha" or not the art style isn't going to fly this late into the generation.

I enjoy me some SR. The problem is, the GTA hype meter is on overload right now so I can't bring myself to care. Once I've finished GTA and it's time for something new, that's when I'll start looking into this. Also, SR comes out really close to Mercs 2 right? That's going to be crazy.

I like 
Its pre-Alpha and I still have serious doubts it'll be this year even though they've set a date already but I don't care after how long I played Saints Row for I will be there day one with this.
Although I hope the tearing and frame rate issues are fixed, im not too fussed but i'd rather they got sorted than trying to make it look hugely better.
Online co-op should be awesome though!

I can already see large numbers of pasty white guys sporting Ecko hoodies and baggy pants lined up outside EB for this one.

This shit is just plain corny. It's what I picture a room full of young white devs in a meeting room thinking would be appealing to young America. It's their understanding of what NWA or other hip-hop groups represents.
Where the story and characters of San Andreas had portions of them that were based on, and felt like they existed in this fictional, yet real world. This series just feels borderline offensive.
N'gai should maybe take a look at this rubbish and then think about how the minorities are being portrayed in RE4.

-Full story co-op: Drop in or out seemlessly. Like Crackdown, you go into a friend's "world" and if he's farther ahead than you are, you can do the missions while it keeps track of what you did solo. Then gives you the choice to skip it when you encounter it in your own game world.KTallguy said:
-The ability to pick up and use parts of the environment as melee weapons or throw them.
-You can grab people and use them has human shields.
-Useable planes and other vehicles not in GTA4. (You can crash planes through buildings etc to make your own entrances/escapes.)
-Character creation and customization (including clothing, taunts, custom walking style, voice)
-Vehicle customization (colors, paint styles, bodykits, wheels, interior etc).
-You can take health (food) with you instead of always going to find some.
-The great side missions from the first, plus new ones.
Uhh.. whatever isn't revealed yet or I can't remember.
After seeing more of GTA IV, I almost cringe when I look at Saints Row 1/2.
Not necessarily because of the visuals, but because it's so damn stereo typically "gangsta" it just bugs the hell out of me. Developers trying to cash in on the cool new rap gansta trend. At least GTA IV has some style, charisma and finesse to it.
Saints Row is just cheap in comparison. Even when compared to San Andreas. I mean seriously....WTF is this shit?

Saints Row is permanently in that limp bizkit era when people said things like "Don't Hate the Player. Hate the Game!"

They also might have a limp bizkit track on there for all know too. The difference being one is more accurately satirizing and dramatizing the sub-culture and movie culture.

You could say parody sure. But I think haha or lol when I think parody. I'll stick with the fact that they just seem out of touch with what they to want to emulate.
I don't really want to bring up SA again, but honestly, that game did both effortlessly while still maintaining it's personality. I guess that's what separates R* from everyone else out there.........

the GTA games are made by people who understand the themes and cultures and how to parody them, the Saints Row games look like they were created by old white dudes in suits in a corporate office some where who still say stuff like "Bling Bling".

I remember some guy on GAF telling people explicitly back when Saints Row came out that when GTA 4 came out there was no technical way possible for them to have helicopters in the game. Oh GAF.
