Saints Row the Third

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.


“There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old’s life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs.”

i feel "cautiously optimistic" sums up how i feel about this game. really like SR2, i just hope the 3rd has more varied/interesting missions and the humour doesn't get any dumber than it was.

Game Informer has a few more details about the game:

1) No multiplayer so that the team can focus on a stronger co-op and solo gameplay.
2) Weapons can be customized in a lot of ways and some even silly/comical.
3) RC gun lets you shoot at cars and then control them like an RC toy car.
4) Experience system similar to GTA San Andreas that lets you eat, get fat, and change your physical appearance more.

1. Never actually played MP in 1 or 2. Can't say I'll miss something I never played. Though maybe I shuold invite Swiss for a friendly game....

2. THANK YOU! I was hoping for more customisation.

3. Cool.

4. I hope they don't mean too much like SA. Wasn't that system pretty fucking unpopular?

I am hoping for a driving system between GTA IV and SR 2. GTA IV was too sensitive, and in SR 2, the handling was so tight that it just didn't feel right. The cars had no "weight" to them, like in GTA IV.

Honestly, like I have said before, I just want a game that takes all the good from GTA IV and Saint's Row 2, and smushes it all together.

I really hope SR 3 is that game.

Most of the time I liked that. It was like those bad 80s movies where you could fly all over the road and shit.

Then you get into a mission where you need to face off against a rival gang, and you get punted to the moon while driving a fucking BEAR.

Even the cops usually aren't that bad.

I liked how you could customize your character and everything, one thing I didnt enjoy in the sligtest was the driving.

Edit: I see the conversation turned to the above. Honestly mix San Andreas driving with GTA IV braking and you have win.

Quote:
Years after taking Stilwater for their own, the Third Street Saints have evolved from street gang to household brand name, with Saints sneakers, Saints energy drinks and Johnny Gat bobble head dolls all available at a store near you. The Saints are kings of Stilwater, but their celebrity status has not gone unnoticed. The Syndicate, a legendary criminal fraternity with pawns in play all over the globe, has turned its eye on the Saints and demands tribute.

Refusing to kneel to the Syndicate, you take the fight to a new city, playing out the most outlandish gameplay scenarios ever seen in Saints Row: The Third, the third chapter in the blockbuster open-city action series. Strap it on.

And why are you sorry?

Aside from actually having less credibility on the subject than Fignuts?

Probably because that's a strawman, combined with him not being a whiny cunt about it.

Nice to see you carry enough of a grudge over it you're willing to make shit up just to continue it, though.

Can certainly see why someone wouldn't like that street cred system for doing story missions, but I liked most of the side missions in the game, so it didn't bug me. Assassinations in particular were always fun.

That system as managed a lot better in SR2. Plus there are so many activities and ways to get your cred up that it's really not hard at all. In SR2 I very rarely had no cred to spare. All the side shit was so much fun I had cred stacked up the wazoo.

Not to mention you could get cred for sandboxing. Doing the shit 95% of us do in the game anyway.

Especially once they took out the "Kill X with Y weapon" from SR1.

I hope if they do a turf system, they do like Crackdown did and allow you to turn the rival gangs back on after you've beat the proper game. I know you could replay missions, but once I beat the game, I mostly just wanted tosandbox the shit out of it.

Well then don't blame the game because you put yourself on a limited schedule to play it. Lots of games can't be fully enjoyed, in a short amount of time.

It's only not valid because it's inconvenient to you.

But again, when you're already cool with flat-out lying, what's a little dishonesty in the face of inconvenience?

Obviously, the censorship of this weapon goes against everything Saints Row stands for, and offends the souls of good boys and girls who grew up believing in America. Fortunately, Volition has heard the cries of the jaded, and is offering fans a deal -- kick up enough of a stink, and the jarred farts will make their way to Saints Row: The Third.



All you have to do is reply to the @SaintsRow Twitter account, registering your interest in the gaseous grenade and making sure to use the #fartinajar tag. If we cry out with gusto and conviction, we may well see justice served.



Obviously this is the most important cause ever, so don't delay!

Pretty sure it's gonna make it in now.

As a pure sandbox game it was great, and at the time was the best to offer for me. You could only play as one character but, due to the eating/exercise system and GTA's costume selection you could change it up quite nicely. That said, I found exercising and constantly eating to be a chore. Spent way too much time swimming and hitting the gym (not saying it was a horrible way to have people invest in the character, just wish they had a better balance) in a game where I wanted to destroy/interact with the world while not being too constrained by the "rules". I did love the gang territory system, however which made up for a lot of it.

Also, the story didn't fit with the cast of characters. Hated all the flying missions. Hated the ending. Also thought they didn't know where they wanted to go with the story (ie. Casino mission). Seems kind of dumb to follow a casino robbery with hunting down a crack-head. Just me?

I'm fine with there only being one character, though I do much prefer the option of multiple characters.

Even games that appear like they will be goofy keep adhering to a degree of realism.
Volition seems to share my feelings -- from day one of the development of Saints Row: The Third, their goal was to "create the most ridiculous, over-the-top, guilty-pleasure experience ever found in a videogame." I got a small, hands-off taste of what the next Saints Row game is all about, and it's easy to see that Volition is making good on that.
In fact, one of the first things I witnessed in Saints Row: The Thirdwas the main character hitting pedestrians with a giant, floppy, purple baseball bat dildo. Yeah, that happened.

Saints Row: The Third (Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PC)
Developer: Volition
Publisher: THQ
To be released: November 15, 2011

You are the leader of the Saints gang and you can fully customize your character to be whatever you want him or her to be. The Saints are at the top of their game and are celebrities in the city of Steelport. They are a branded image that people love and adore. Citizens clamor to get a Saints autograph, even when the gang is robbing a bank!
[Update: The article initial stated that Johnny Gat was the leader. This was a mistake and has been corrected above.]
The gang's notoriety gives the player access to powerful weapons right from the start. You'll of course have at your disposal the traditional assortment of firepower, but why shoot a gun when you can wear giant over-sized boxing gloves called "Apoca-fist" that instantly vaporize anyone you punch?

Everything you do will have some sense of style to it, too. For instance, breaking into a car the regular way is replaced by a window-shattering jumping karate kick. Speaking of which, the core mechanic of the driving experience has been completely overhauled. Car handling is a lot more fast, fluid and fun, and leaves you open to doing some insane stunts in the open-world setting.
There are some outlandish cars, too, such as one that features the giant head of Johnny Gaton the hoodsmoking a cigarette that shoots out flames. Then there's Professor Genki’s Super Ballistic Manapult, which features a giant cannon on the roof that can suck up people (or even yourself) and then shoot them out.
Flying vehicles will be a big part of the game, as well, and we saw many different types of helicopters. The coolest air vehicle was the Vertical Take-Off and Landing (VTOL) Jet, which can seamlessly switch from hover to jet mode in an instant. It also lets you shoot missiles and laser beams. LASER BEAMS! So cool.

One final feature we were shown before getting into the meat of the game was how you can buy businesses. The Saints are out to take over and spread their territory in the gang, and purchasing a business is one way to do it. The particular business that was bought in this instance was the "Let's Pretend" costume store, where you can change your outfit and wear whatever you want.
After showing off some of the new tech, Volition started up the first mission of the game, which also acts as a tutorial for the player. The Saints are attempting to rob a bank, which is usually a pretty easy job for them. In this particular instance, though, the bank puts up heavy resistance and fights back. Unbeknownst to them, the bank is owned by the Syndicate, the main antagonist in Saints Row: The Third.
This little setback doesn't stop the Saints; they start taking out any resistance in their way. Oh, did I mention that all the Saints are wearing disguises, including a giant bobblehead-face-helmet-thing that makes them look like Johnny Gat? Because that totally happened.

The gang reach the bank's vault only, to discover they can't open it. So they go with plan B and blow up the walls surrounding the vault in order to allow easy access for a Saints helicopter to lift the gigantic safe away. That plan turn to shit, though as Josh Birk, a ride-along Method actor set to star in a Saints movie, activates the security alarm by mistake.
A SWAT team quickly arrives on the scene, and the Saints hold off the police until their escape chopper arrives. Once the helicopter shows up, the player hooks up the vault to it and stands on top of the vault as the helicopter attempts to pull it out. They don't get too far from the bank, as multiple waves of police helicopters and attack copters eventually cause the player to get knocked back into the bank, surrounded by SWAT.
You can expect missions to be pretty ridiculous like this throughoutSaints Row: The Third. Volition wanted to create memorable set-pieces for the missions. You can expect lots of side missions, too, both old and new. The one Volition showed off to the press was called "Tank Mayhem" and you have to blow up stuff with a tank until you reach a specific monetary damage goal. Another side mission that was teased is called "Professor Genki's Super Ethical Reality Climax Show." Sounds like fun times right there.
We'll be seeing more of Saints Row: The Third at E3 next week and I can't wait. I'm definitely looking forward to more Saints goodness, and yes, expect co-op madness again.
