I strangely like the title.

The Third. Simple and elegant, with a hint of attitude.

 

[Muffdraul]

"We need to align our franchise with the lucrative 'hardcore Shrek fan' demographic."

 

[Striker]

Can't wait.

 

[Wiggum2007]

Hopefully they fix the purple.

New color: burnt orange.

 

[Fjordson]

Can't wait. Love that cover, too. Johnny Gat running shit.

 

[Dabanton]

That's not Johnny Gat.

Gat has tattoos up his neck. And bleached hair.

 

[Domino Theory]

FUCK YES.

 

[V_Ben]

So, who's co-oping with me?!

Dude, if you get it for PS3, I will co-op the thing as my guy from SR2. It will be glorious.

 

[Old Gimlet Eyes]

Oh yeah. Bring back some awesome co-op and some Blinged Out Ride from SR1. Cannot wait for this game.

 

[Gravijah]

Dude, if you get it for PS3, I will co-op the thing as my guy from SR2. It will be glorious.

I get most of my games for PS3 these days since it's way too annoying to get online set up on my 360. So I shall be getting this on the PS3!

 

[Neuromancer]

Steelport eh. Like Detroit I guess?

Can't wait to hear more.

 

[Fjordson]

That's not Johnny Gat.

Gat has tattoos up his neck. And bleached hair.

Oh, I know, but the mention of Johnny Gat bobble heads made me laugh.

Huzzah!

 

[Neuromancer]

I'm calling it right now- a Johnny Gat bobble head doll included in the limited edition.

It will be mine, oh yes, it will be mine.

 

[Fusion Pizza]

Just picked up SR2 on steam to play through it again with my buddy, are there any mods?

 

[XiaNaphryz]

New city, whohooooo!

Hopefully multiple new cities, San Andreas style. C'mon Volition!

 

[Haliela]

Saint's Row 2 is amazing. I love that you can play a female when the game was clearly designed for a male dialogue. I still remember my female character saying "you had me at stripper pole"... cracked me up.

 

[Tylahedras]

The Third is scheduled for release on the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system, and Windows PC this holiday season.

Well that's surprising. Also I hope I can select a gang color this time, I'm just not down with the purple posse.

 

[Phloxy]

Oh god yes there is, make sure you google gentleman of the row mod. Super easy to install, and has about 11 pages worth of changes to it.

 

[Dabanton]

Erm purple is the saints gang colour can't see them letting you change that.

 

[FunkyPajamas]

Wait, so this went from hip-hop gansta to douche matrix?

 

[snoopeasystreet]

Calling it now: special edition comes with a johnny gat bobble-head.

Edit: fuck you neuromancer!

 

[XiaNaphryz]

that's a huge bitch!


Seriously though, how does she fit in that plane?

It's not a very big plane - think of those smaller private jets. Come on, it has propellers on it even, not turbojets.

Wait, so this went from hip-hop gansta to douche matrix?

I would hope not. The cover art pieces looks like it would fit in SR2 as well (aren't at least two of those chars also present in SR2?), just that they added more insane shenanigans with the freefall stuff and the dudes are in suits.

Also, thread needs karaoke sing-a-long vid links:

Edit: fuck you neuromancer!

Haha great minds think alike!

(Fuck you too pal!

 

[XiaNaphryz]

Lets hope they've fixed the driving.

If by fixed you mean "make it like GTA4," I disagree completely.

 

[snoopeasystreet]

Haha great minds think alike!

(Fuck you too pal!

You have a parks and rec avatar so I'll let you off...

 

[GeoramA]

Oh my god, if they took influences from Just Cause 2, then this could turn out to be spectacular.

Hell yes. Throw in a grappling hook and we'll be all set.

 

[Neuromancer]

I agree, nothing wrong with the driving.

 

[Gravijah]

I love GTAIVs driving, but let Saints Row be Saints Row.

 

[~Kinggi~]

Couple of awesome things here:


New City

More Power

"Global" implications.

Crazy ass shit.

Great opportunity for this franchise i think.

 

[OneLetter]

There's not enough exclamation points in the world to describe how awesome it is to finally reveal Saints Row: The Third, and on the Game Informer cover, too! Kinda wish the smiley was here though...

I should also mention that this was easily the best kept secret, ever. Nobody had a clue we were making it at all. Nope.

You missed dudes falling out of planes with guns. Should be it's own heading.

Good luck to you and the team. Im definitely looking forward to it!

 

[bathala]

my guess is coming to reality
airplanes = new city(ies) to travel.

 

[Gravijah]

WHAT IF IT'S AN ENTIRE WORLD

You guys are awesome. Volition represent!

Hope to see some screenies soon though or some video.

 

[WrikaWrek]

One thing i can expect from this is an over the top story with over the top characters and over the top hollywood like action.

 

[Net_Wrecker]

my guess is coming to reality
airplanes = new city(ies) to travel.

I really hope they create a large, diverse world. After seeing what Just Cause 2 did, it would be amazing if The Third (yeah I said it) could be even 1/2, or 2/3 as big but with the crazy amount of customization of The Second (YEAH I SAID IT) had.

Can't wait.

Coming VERY soon. Stay tuned to GameInformer.com (and the mag once it goes out) for the brand new details.

yes, just cause 2 has the best world in open world so far.

if its not going to be as big as Just Cause 2, Airports might be a "portal" to other cities

Still dude, proportions are off.

 

[jhawk6]

Excellent really looking forward to the next Saints Row

 

[EYEL1NER]

So fucking hype!

 

[Buckethead]

First cover is awesome.

 

[firehawk12]

As long as the white female gangster voice is back, I'll be happy. I still think that was the most hilarious part of the second game.

 

[MMaRsu]

Owww yea come on

When does this issue hit subscribers?

 

[Messi]

First cover is hot.

One of my most anticipated 2011 titles. Gonna be a great year for games me thinks.
