Saints Row the Third

[Kane Knight]

So, assuming the fuckers don't cock tease us again, it's due out for Q4. We're finally getting some information at this point, though scarce. In an interview with the senior producer, we got a couple of tidbits:

Despite the Saints Row series' rather tongue-in-cheek, cartoonish violence, Donovan said that some of the ideas that people came up with went further than Volition was willing to go. As an example, he described one weapon that won't be appearing in the game: the fart in a jar grenade. The idea was that the jar contained flatulence so terrible that anyone caught in the blast would be too busy vomiting to engage in combat. Apparently, some of the team liked the concept, but others weren't so keen, so Volition decided to scrap it.


Donovan said that other suggestions that people had come up with were so bad that he didn't even want to repeat them, which is quite remarkable when you consider how violent and/or over the top some of Saints Row 2 was. While it won't be as bad as it could have been, THQ is boasting that Saints Row: The Third will feature some of the most "outlandish gameplay scenarios" around. Some of the things that the game does include are skydiving with tanks, airstrikes on Mexican gangs, and fighting off military personnel with a sex toy.


Air Strikes on Mexicans? Juan's days are numbered. Dildo weapons? Meh. Tank Skydiving? Epic.

No "fart in a jar" grenade? Thank GOD.
