They're trying too hard.
Goddammit, THQ! I so want to buy your game but PLEASE give us some info on the PC version. Especially on specs and online co-op. The PC version isn't mentioned anywhere on your goddamn fucking gamesite and neither in the trailers. So I as a PC gamer don't have a lot of faith in your support for the PC version right now. Please prove me wrong.

That's the main blog/bio page.
I don't remember the exact one with the SR1 streaming talk though. It was just mentioned in passing while talking about the improvements in the sequel.
This is true. They should've totally half-assed it, as that seems like the thing to do.Goldrusher said:

Excellent.

With no player tether and people conceivably doing their own thing on totally opposite ends of the city, I don't see how they'd pull it off in splitscreen.

pretty funny...
the game is pretty unimpressive graphically though....GTA IV looks much better.
I only played like 10 mins of the original and really disliked it, so I think Infamous will be my next city sandbox

I hope this game is like San Andreas. San Andreas was funny, over the top and had fun missions and funny characters. GTA4 was dull as fuck. I can't wait for this game.

I'm talking about the trailers. All so very different. With one they attract many new players, with the next one they scare them all away again.raYne said:
I'm still not convinced by this game. All together, it's silly, stupid and dumb. In a way, that's good, but some people here want this game to beat the shit out of GTA. And without more reality, that ain't happening. As it stands now, Saints Row 2 is pretty much 100% fantasy. Everything, from the city to the characters, the gangs, the products within the game world, the radio, etc. etc. What makes GTA so popular is, above everything else, the comedy, the satire. Not the freedom.
However, I must say I'm impressed by many changes they made from the original. The more realistic graphical style and all of the new stuff they've added on top of the already many mini games and acitivites, the planes, the helicopters, the boats.
Overall, it does scream "next-gen Los Santos", which is great.K7 Avenger said:
But... unfortunately... it does not scream "next-gen San Andreas". It's only one city (the same city as the first game which is even worse). No farmlands, no forests, no rivers and lakes, no other towns or cities, no mountains, no desert, no nothing.
The first game sold 2 million something on the 360. Right now, perhaps 3 million on that platform is reasonable... But don't forget it will be released amongst Fable 2, Far Cry 2, LittleBigPlanet, MotorStorm Pacific Rift, Resistance 2, Call of Duty World at War, Tomb Raider Underworld, Midnight Club Los Angeles, Gears of War 2, Dead Space, Mirror's Edge, Need for Speed Undercover, etc. etc. Dozens of great games and huge franchises.thrasher said:
On PS3...many have never heard of Saints Row. And on PC, it will have to battle GTAIV.
10 million is very unlikely. And there are many, many other games out there who deserve sales more than Saints Row 2.

i don't know guys after watching this trailer im starting to think an 80's styled buddy cop movie would be possible. Obama the new hotshot rookie with a loose cannon, and McCain as the old cop 1 week away from retirement and hes got to work with Obama for his last week. Putin as the bad guy of course.
Ya know, a couple of months ago and I had virtually no interest in this game. But after the hole that GTA IV left, this is becoming one of the most anticipating games! Seriously, the amount of detail and customization is insane. I really really tried to love GTA IV, sadly, I just couldn't.
This is going to be one hell of a fall season, thanks rayne for those impressions.

but unlike a movie like Juno where the try hard attitude makes it shit, all the things they are throwing in and are going to be fun in the end.

I agree this is releasing at the wrong, time, though.
Should have released it early September like the original, or in February like Crackdown. It would have cleaned up in either of those months, but it could quite easily get lost in the shuffle this year.

It's nearly impossible for a game to have a worse soundtrack than GTA IV, so no worries.

After the disappointment that is GTA4 and playing Merc 2 over the weekend. Solid game but its just more proof that SR2 will be the new king of sandbox games. I cant wait.

SR2 has an 80's station. Any time you have that you're on the right track with your soundtrack.

I really hope the characters don't grind me the wrong way in this one. It looks like its starting to shape up to a really impressive package, but if the characters irritate me, I have a hard time enjoying a game.

I used to think that the satire in GTA is what made me love it. To a large extent it was. However, I found that I enjoyed the first Saints Row more than GTA IV, despite it's sad attempts at satire, it's glitchy streaming and lack of motorcycles and aircraft.
So, in my situation at least, fun is more important than satire, and that's what Saints Row is about; silly, stupid, dumb, 100% fantasy fun. I'd also point out that saying GTA is less than 100% fantasy, especially San Andreas (my fav GTA), would be wrong.
Saints Row 2 apparently has the streaming fixed, it has aircraft and it has motorcycles, as well as a shit load of cool side missions and a kick arse combat system. I wouldn't have a clue if the writing is better or if the satire is more mature, but that would only be the icing on the cake anyway.
It's taken 1 released game and 1 nearly released game from Volition and 1 released game from Rockstar to turn me from a Rockstar fan into a Volition fan. I don't care how the game sells compared to GTA IV; I really couldn't give a fuck about sales-age. Hopefully it will sell enough to keep Volition interested in producing more content for it and more games like it.

Hopefully you can get a Santa suit again.
I loved messing around with that on. Ho Ho Ho.
Not sure what you're getting at. Saint's Row isn't exactly sophisticated but at least it's a shitload of fun. I watched five minutes of Epic movie and was tempted to walk outside and burn my house down.
