Saints Row The Third - St33lport Trailer

Yeah, but I'd be super backlogged. I bought Driver SF last week, still need to finish Mass Effect 2, and a lot of other games. Skyrim would just end up fighting with my Saints Row time.

I wish there was a saints row the third vs GTA4 thread I could post this in. Looking for more saints row 3rd footage I came across this Nico finding out about Saints Row vid. Now that version of GTA4 is awesome.

Not sure if all of you have seen this, but G4 posted up this direct comparison of our trailer with the MW3/BF3 ones. First time I had seen it all side by side.

http://www.g4tv.com/videos/55807/sa...are-3-battlefield-3-trailer-comparison-video/

At the beginning of the Shock and Awesome trailer, that's actually Zimos the pimp speaking. For those that don't know, he had a tracheotomy and speaks all his in-game lines through an auto-tuned microphone.

Also yes, non-motorized rickshaws explode, since you know, it's Saints Row.
 
Nice comparison video.

I kinda miss G4, they had good gaming shows. Well x play. However, now we have streams, and youtube. I watch fighting tournaments, and starcraft tournaments here and there which would never be on g4 though. I think they had something on a fighting tournament this year.

Less than a month, lets go!
 
Now that the embargo is over:

Hands-on impressions with Saints Row the Third.

I went into this thinking that the game had jumped the shark and was going to suck.

After playing for a few hours, I feel safe in saying that I was wrong. They can still screw up the end, but the vibe for the first portion of the game is balls-to-the-wall fun.

According to THQ PR guy at the SR3 event, Money Shot for XBLA was cancelled.

I never give scores in advance (and hell I didn't even have time to play the full game so there's no way I could even form a full opinion at this point) but based on what I saw, I can't wait to play more.

You know you want San Andreas 2 just as much as us.


GTA 4 promised to be the return of Bret Hart, but we got Bruce Hart instead!

When was it ever "promised" to you that GTA 4 would be an extension of San Andreas?

Awesome write up, thanks for posting it! The big thing that caught my eye that I haven't seen announced is the Whored mode, which just sounds fucking incredible. God I can't wait for this game.

Whored Mode was embargoed until today. I didn't spend a whole lot of time with it (preferring to play as much of the story as possible) but I know some of the other guys at the event did.

I'd be shocked if there weren't more details on that in the other previews out there today.
 
Whored mode sounds OK but what I really wanted was a zombie game similar to the one in SR2, but over the entire city. Sadly it appears there will be no such thing, barring any future surprises (like a cheat code perhaps.)

How did I miss this, I was looking forward to it. Two Saints Row 3rd threads probably made me miss it.

Edit: Woo hoo, weapon upgrades, and upgrades for yourself. I saw the bat into bat with nails upgrade. Reminds me of the zombie games, and since this will most likely have that zombie distraction in it (like SR2) with co op there could be some fun zombie survival situations.

Exp for your character, I'm loving it Volition.

Much like the prior games, The Third features an in-depth character creator, which allows you to freely edit all the attributes of the main character. Given enough time, you can make him or her look like pretty much like anyone you can imagine. With that said, about half of the journalists at the preview event ended up running around as large-breasted, topless chicks in thongs and heels.

Ok, my faith in game 'journalism' is slightly restored.
 
With all the crazy tech stuff that seems to be making its way into the game, is it too much to ask for a suit of powered armor or a giant robot to terrorize the populace with?

It seems like the next logical step.

Either that or a Martian war machine a la War of the Worlds with a heat ray. I'd settle for that. It'd give me an excuse to dress up like a 1950s space man.
 
This trailer was the perfect riff on BF3 and MW3.
 
I always get excited when I see a saints row thread at the top, wondering if a flood of new footage and such is here. I guess I'll start going through saints row 2 missions again. Another thing I like about Saints, replay whatever missions you like feature. It's especially good for co op.

I wonder if this will be a good way to gain exp in SR3.
 
GamesRadar Preview

A little snippet from the end of the preview.
Accessed through your phone, a huge number of character upgrades can be purchased for cash once youÂ’ve reached the required respect level. A quick glance at the upgrade menu revealed: Extra health, the ability to dual wield pistols, weapon specific increased weapon damage, the ability to recruit extra gang members, and our personal favorite, the ability to not ragdoll after being hit by an explosion.
Click to expand...
...wat.
 
I just finished a few missions in sr2 with trying to win with the flamingo nuke only. The ragdoll thing is like a state of being unconscious. You move around with the ragdoll animations for a while until your character wakes up.

I guess you could think of it as concussion resistance.

Edit:
The man presses a button on his remote control and a small army of prostitutes floods the room while a huge stereo emerges from the floor. The pundits suddenly forget what they were talking about and start to enjoy themselves.

Holy crap! Groovatron like gadget in SR3? Insane! I can see myself using this a lot, along with all the other gadgets. I'm still having a ball with remote sticky bombs, and the other wacky/awesome tools in SR2. I'm so glad they went even further with the toys.

co-op and the new“Whored” mode

Oh my, haha

Edit: A lot of stuff here too.

Holy shit, this game just keeps getting better and better. Waiting for the release is getting painful. Still going to have to figure out how to juggle all these new releases.
 
That trailer is why I always loved Saints Row - while the MW3 and BF3 superfans go at each other, they both get got here.

Love it.
 
So the design documents for this game consisted of a 1000 page binder with nothing but "WHAT IS THIS I DON'T EVEN" printed 1000 times on each page a la Jack's book from The Shining?

Welp, I'm in.

do we get access to the character editor early?

Yeah, the Initiation Station was/is planned to create different looking characters that will actually populate steelport if you're online. As of now, Volition still says it's supposed to come out. Unfortunately, we still have no word on when it's dropping, and people who ordered red faction: Armageddon (or was it buying the CE of Arm) are supposed to get it a week before the rest of us do.

At this point, I'm guessing Red Faction people get it on the 1st and the rest of us get it on the 8th.
