Wow. It's a great game on PC so this is unfortunate. People who think we don't need new consoles need to read this.
Don't forget that THQ fired an entire team at Volition before they died, so maybe the guys who worked on SR3 PS3 port are no longer with Volition or Volition right now just lack manpower.

Not surprising really.
Troll really.
Actually it is, considering the PS3 version of SR3 was better than the 360 version.

360 version isn't blowing any minds either. I wish this game was cross gen. Technical hiccups are ruining my enjoyment.

So the game is complete shit on PS3? The moment I get my PC situation straight is when I'll dive in.

It depends how sensitive you are to this stuff, I guess. I'm loving it personally, but there's no doubt that the IQ and framerate are ropey. It's still a great feeling to land from a 200ft jump, slide through a dudes legs and then flip him over by his balls.

How? That trend has been quite common this gen or has it not?

It is surprising though, since SR3 on PS3 performed better than the 360 version.
Probably you have missed some of the later games on ps3 or maybe you like too much troll over the ps3 ports.
Seriously. I would've gone with the 360 version if I had known.
HVS is it the same of SR3 on ps3?
A 300$ pc can put in the shame everything on ps360.
What's HVS?
High Voltage Software. The same developer that released the woefully undercooked ZOE HD collection, which Konami ultimately had to patch itself.

I sucked six dicks to get this tag.
Wait wtf happened between SR3 and 4. SR3 PS3 ran waaay better than on 360 and now it's switched around for SR4?
Damn it's the same city and graphics too but with super powers.

look like 360 version needed some more testing as well
Saints Row IV: Game Breaking Glitch
THQ fired many people from Volition, so I think the guys behind SR3 PS3 port no longer work there that why they outsourced SR4 port it to High Voltage.

Sounds like it's awful on both consoles. They should have made this a launch next gen title.
my guess is that they wanted to release this as fast as possible -and before GTA5- no matter what since it's not really a full new SR game and was originally a dlc and then start first on next gen consoles with a real new SR.
And the PC version is perfect.
If they had less time to optimize for consoles, then that's probably true, but I am glad they disn't compromise the PC experience.
The PC version isn't that well optimized for what it's showing on my screen, same as SR3 it's better than console versions but still lacking, in graphics and performance imo.
Did HVS really do the PS3 port, or did they just help with assets? If it's the former... wow, this is infinitely more damning than ZoE to be honest, at least ZoE had the excuse of using esoteric advantages of the PS2 hardware that seemingly took fully utilization of the SPUs to not only match but surpass. This is built off a game that had a great PS3 port, so what the fuck?
Though like I said before I do suspect the game got rushed to be out before GTAV. Don't forget SR3 was comfortably a November release, not late August.

What was the problem with ZoE?

20-40fps, missing effects + present ones rendered at half/quarter resolution, shitty and jittery blur effect, extremely inaccurate lighting compared to original, HUD not properly scaled to HD resolution (stretched HUD... in 2012), no anti-aliasing, etc.
Calling it a travesty was an understatement. Fuck Deep Silver for being cheap enough to hire these guys after what they did.

I was gonna red box the 360 version but I'll probably just pick the up pc version instead
I'd pick it up in a sale. I'm gameflying the 360 version and besides the framerate, I'm having fun. It feels like Ultimate Spiderman (as Venom) or that Hulk game mixed with Crackdown.
It appears to run mostly the same (also has pretty much the same options in the menu's), though i only played it in DX11 so far so can't speak for the DX9 client.
Ugh, so their engine is still a mess. Thanks, I'll get this game when it is cheap on a sale.

SR4 is a much faster game and significantly more reliant on snappy pop in to be fair
I had no idea High Voltage was porting the PS3 version. If I had known that I would of went with the 360 version.
Ubisoft?
