Do you have some links to those blogs/quotes?raYne said:Supposedly (been reading the dev blogs) the first game was designed around the fact that they didn't get a hang of the streaming engine all that well. That was the reasoning behind no flying vehicles and responsible for some of the city design (dead ends etc) and problems such as vanishing cars, tearing etc.

I always thought for a first time out Saint's Row did pretty well, considering Volition hadn't done anything like it.
This is true. They should've totally half-assed it, as that seems like the thing to do.Goldrusher said:They're trying too hard.

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.

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'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:This is true. They should've totally half-assed it, as that seems like the thing to do.
Overall, it does scream "next-gen Los Santos", which is great.K7 Avenger said: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.
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:I'd love to this do 10 mil in sales
There's so much wrong in this that I don't know where to start. However, I'm not in the mood and don't want to get into this yet again, so I'll just say, "ok".Goldrusher said:I'm talking about the trailers. All so very different.

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.
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.

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.

:O I'd buy it.AndyIsTheMoney said: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.

If so I hope they've fixed the massive amounts of lag..

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