RELEASED!?

Bio-Frost · Jan 28, 2016

Awesome, was not expecting a ISO dump. Wish more places would/could do this.

Chase17 · Jan 28, 2016

Got my PSP go ready. Would have been cool if this went as planned.

Yeah, apparently.

Surprised Deep Silver allowed that.

piratepwnsninja · Jan 28, 2016

As a note, there is no tech support for this. Haha.

Hope those that try enjoy. It's crazy that Mike Watson, our community guy, was able to get permission for us to do this.

Yes. Dropped the ISO on Unseen64

Cronen · Jan 28, 2016

Pretty cool of Volition to release this!

Palette Swap · Jan 28, 2016

Haha, that's kind of awesome and totally Volition to make this kind of prototype widely available.

Hero Prinny · Jan 28, 2016

Im gonna download it latwr. Any images?

clay_ghost · Jan 28, 2016

Wait what. That is cool.

Amagon · Jan 28, 2016

That's fucking awesome.

More companies should do this.

Darrenf · Jan 28, 2016

Wow. This is awesome of them to release.

YianGaruga · Jan 28, 2016

I have no interest in the game, but this is fucking awesome

kudos to Volition

wanders · Jan 28, 2016

Any multiplayer?

LiquidMetal14 · Jan 28, 2016

Whoa, this is awesome. Someone take some screens on PPSSPP.

Rellik · Jan 28, 2016

God damn it, I don't have a PSP.

I would have loved to play this.

EDIT: Didn't think of an emulator. Thanks LiquidMetal14.

jaypah · Jan 28, 2016

My PSP died ages ago but kudos, this is cool as fuck!

Would they not benefit from releasing this as a demo on PSN? Would they not profit from downloads of that from there? Unless it doesn't work like that.

that's really cool of them.

Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew · Jan 28, 2016

Wow! I need this in my veins! Any way to make this work on Vita?

Zafir · Jan 28, 2016

Very cool. Might give it a try on the emulator.

Not entirely sure where my PSP is.

It would cost alot of money for them to get it released.

This seems to work fine on PPSSPP for those lacking hardware.

Joqu · Jan 28, 2016

Saint's Row isn't really my thing but when Volition announced they were going to show this on stream I couldn't help but think how awesome it would be if we had access to that prototype ourselves.

Didn't expect this to happen though. This is so rad.

They'd have to make sure it doesn't break anything and go through Sony cert

lots of work and money.

It's a playable prototype, not really suited for putting on PSN. It's a great curiosity and buggy as fuuuuuuuuuck but not exactly polished

User 479360 · Jan 28, 2016

I would love to check it out, as a big Saints Row fan, but have no idea of how to do so.

BennyBlanco · Jan 28, 2016

Man, that was really cool of them. This has to be illegal for them to do tho? Licensed music, voice actors, etc.

google PPSSPP.

NinjaCoachZ · Jan 28, 2016

New PSP game

technically

in 2016. What a world!

This is really cool of them to do. Has anything like this ever been done before?

Does PSN still even work on PSP? I doubt they'd add anything to the PSPs section of PSN if it's still up. Especially a demo for a game that'll never be released.

Either way, this is awesome. I wish Nintendo would give us all the goodies of their prototypes, too.

Kudos to the devs and publishers of the series for allowing this.

Pretty sure it doesn't meet any standards it would need to meet to be released officially.

KeyChainDude · Jan 28, 2016

That's very cool! It's a shame to see so many cancelled games lost on time, glad some fans will at least get the chance to see how this one was shaping up.

RK128 · Jan 28, 2016

Wow

!?!

Has this ever happened with a known scrapped game before? Never saw something like this happen.......

That is a really nice gesture on there part and I hope the community enjoys this scrapped PSP game

.

Boke1879 · Jan 28, 2016

This is awesome. Just recently I thought about purchasing a PSP again because it was a nice little system and building up the collection of games.

delSai · Jan 28, 2016

That's pretty damn cool.

Demos on PSN cost the publisher money. The most notable example of this was when Atlus pulled the Japanese Catherine demo after a few weeks.

Storm Raider · Jan 28, 2016

THIS IS SO FUCKING COOL!

Adnor · Jan 28, 2016

Guys, remember that this is a early alpha of a cancelled game. Most menus and features don't work properly or don't even exist

Really nice of Volition to dump and upload this on the internet, I didn't expect that! More developers should do stuff like this!

Lots of devs have released protos and of course, some have been leaked etc (for example, the Star Wars Battlefront 3 beta leaked this week), but of course, more devs doing it is fucking awesome and I hope they do more, primarly of some of the cancelled 360 games.

Hero of Legend · Jan 28, 2016

I see, thanks.

Have you ever used am emulator? There's a PSP one called PPSSPP and it shouldn't be too hard to make it work

Very, very much that.

Releasing it this way means people have to actively look for it in the first place and thus they're aware that it is an unfinished, buggy, unpolished game. Releasing it through any official first party channel creates expectations of it working well, free or not.

Amazingly cool gesture, though. Volition are legit.

Radio doesn't work and there is barely any VA in this game.

Accoun · Jan 28, 2016

Also, a mod should maybe edit the title to mention it's just an early prototype.

Not in a decade, since I downloaded an emulator for SNES and Game Boy.

It's mostly gibberish to me.

Elitist1945 · Jan 28, 2016

Woooooaaaaah. How would I get this workin' on a Vita, if thats even possible?
