Saints Row: The Third Trailer Brings Down the House (With Bullets)

[IAmTheVoid]

If Shaundi from SR2 comes back, I'll be a very very happy man.

Shaundi and Gat will be in there, along with your character, but im not sure if Pierce will be there

You are now a "very very happy man". I can has cookie now?

I am, sir. The cookie will be arriving in the mail soon.

On the subject of the trailer- it was good, but I've listened to POWER so much recently (mainly because of the PONY Anthology on YouTube) and thus I didn't appreciate having to listen to it again. :<

The ONLY thing I don't like about this game, is the fact that it's not out until November!

 

[Doclector]

That was one of the most ridiculous trailers i've ever seen.

And it was AMAZING.

One problem though. Ghat.

Saints. Need. Ghat. Hopefully i'm jumping the gun like the time I couldn't spot haggard in any of the bad company 2 campaign screenshots.

And if I'm honest, it wouldn't be a game breaker. It's just, well, the guy tried to pull the statute of limitations on mass murder. How psychopathically awesome can you get?

Edit: just saw one of the above posts saying ghat will be in it. Awesome.

Yeah, and four days after Skyrim at that. I actually had to cut a deal with my brother, he gets Skyrim first as long as he stays the fuck out of Saints Row.

Guys, I like this trailer too, but come on. It's a big cutscene, undoubtedly made specifically for the trailer, and reflects / expounds upon NOTHING we can expect to see in the finished game. Yawn, wake me up when there's a REAL trailer.

He is completely correct. It probably doesn't reflect any of the game anyway. All I want is an epic gameplay trailer, something to really get me excited. This was more of a "pay attention" trailer to keep people interested. However, even though this doesn't show gameplay, this trailer indicates one of the major themes we've come to love in Saints Row. The amazing ability to fuck shit up!

This is true. But did you see the announcement where they confirmed that you could MISSILE KICK THROUGH CAR WINDOWS TO JACK THEM FASTER?!

This november? Like, this year's, 2011's november? And I thought it wasn't due until 2012!
This just gets better and better. I will buy. I will preorder. I will fucking break into the developer's safe with tanks and jets and steal it if necessary!

So. The enemy's name is going to involve a star in some way? Maybe a Red Star?

And is STAG the name of the 'corporation', or is it just the vehicle?

That's the Ultor logo. Those guys are from the Ultor Corporation, as seen in Saints Row II. So I'd guess that STAG is the name of the vehicle.

EDIT: Nope, looks like I was completely wrong. One of the new gangs is in fact called 'The Morning Star' so it's likely them featured in this here trailer. STAG is the 'Special Tactics Anti-Gang' unit of the government, akin to the Masako forces from Saints Row II.

Well, it's true this is a CG trailer rather than a gameplay trailer. But you won't have to wait long. They are showing the game at E3, so we'll get to see the actual gameplay in less than a week.

 

[putowtin]

what the hell is the Syndicate doing crashing the saint's club?

(wow I know too much about this game!)

Still waiting to see me some Gat!

Robbing a bank in Gat masks, now that's cool!

 

[Netrigan]

Will be interesting to see how the dedicated missions work out. There really is no substitute for a properly created mission map. Assuming there's still tons of open-world side missions, this could be the best of both worlds. A finely tuned scripted mission structure on top of open-world madness.

Where do you see the Ultor logo? Their logo isn't a star as far as I can remember, and the flyers only had like, a bull on their wings.

 

[sb666]

it was going to hard to top the first trailer but i think they did it

Like I said before: "The amazing ability to FUCK SHIT UP!"

Oh, you and I are going to get along very well. We should play then when it comes out.

Ah, I edited my post as you were replying it seems. Sorry for stating such nonsense as though it was indeed fact. Here's the ol' correction: "Nope, looks like I was completely wrong. One of the new gangs is in fact called 'The Morning Star' so it's likely them featured in this here trailer. STAG is the 'Special Tactics Anti-Gang' unit of the government, akin to the Masako forces from Saints Row II."

I dare say I need to do a lil' more research next time eh?

EDIT: Is it likely that the chap leading the assault against the Saints there is actually Phillipe Loren, leader of the Syndicate and the Morning Star, main antagonist of the game?

 

[badgersprite]

I am so looking forward to this game, it's not even funny. You know a game is going to be badass when their sprint button has been nicknamed "The Awesome Button".

Snip

S'all right. I didn't even think anyone could give me an actual answer yet.

Great then! I bet Ultor's still around as well considering they're in every Volition game.

Edit: Looks like 'The Morning Star' may be a mafia-type organization as well looking at that boss guy.

 

[Jegsimmons]

OH DEAR JESUS THAT SOUNDTRACK WAS PAINFUL!!!

as long as it doesn't have that shitty music i might consider that zanny game.

 

[Uber Evil]

I hope the PC version not a crappy port. Although maybe by then I'll have a console.

 

[Racecarlock]

The only way I could love volition more right now is if they announced freespace 3 for all platforms.

 

[Amberella]

I'm definitely getting this game.
