Trailers: Saints Row: The Third: Steelport

[Azurian]

It's good to know there are some games that don't need to take the whole serious and realism path and just know how to be fun.

 

[JehuBot]

Currently playing Saints Row 2 , even though I bought the European version (No Trophy support , and no DLCs) I'm having quite a blast with it !

this is what GTA should've been like for the current gen after San Andreas !

and of course , I can't wait for "The 3rd" ^^

 

[Dr. Pepper Unlimited]

I was skeptical at first because I seemed to be the only one I knew that truly hated the other Saints Row games. It looks like they completely revamped everything from the look of it. I'm actually interested in this installment, which wasn't what I would have expected. Good show THQ.

But the most important question:

Does Eliza Dushku come back in the role of Shandi?

 

[Latinidiot]

So what's the catch? Starting out as godlike supermen with the ability to call in airstrikes is all well and good, but it's not much of a challenge.

I was wondering about that. But just dicking around looks like so much fun that I'm not all that worried. God I can't wait for this game.

I hope it still feels like you're going somewhere.

Yes that's all very cool, but don't try too hard to go over the top, then it just looks stupid. Balance the stupidity with the fun, for example, I don't think the apocalypse gloves or the vacuum car are fun enough to make up for the way they make the whole game seem like a joke (plus that one melee attack where he posed on the ground made me cringe a bit), the VTOL however is pure fucking win.

 

[Danpascooch]

Nah, im getting skyrim. lol. But may get Saints Row on rental.....the last two games were good. I just hope they havnt gone to far and made it to over the top. I like dumb stuff but having things just sitting there like that jet and not hidden as a fun surprise will ruin it. I want to find the silly stuff, not have it sign pointed. Like in SR2 with the level where you sprayed poo from the back of a vehical was awesome, but i dont want to do that all the time. It will get boring. Same way GTA went to serious and GTA4 was ruined for that, where as Vice City was the best game they made so far.

I guess what i want to say is that i hope its balanced and these things like the jet etc are unlocked later in the game.

I agree, for example the melee attack where he posed, and the apocalypse fists and vacuum car bothered me a bit.

I wouldn't worry too much about the jet just sitting there though, I'm convinced they spawned it there specifically for the demo, they didn't have nearly enough time to go unlock it in that trailer now did they?

I haven't played the first two games, but this definitely makes me take notice of this installment. You have to wonder what the design meetings looked like when talking about the vehicle design.

''Now, we have this car right? And this car has Johnny's head, you with me, cause this will blow your mind, he will have a cigaret that will work as a flamethrower!''

Or perhaps they just took a survey with the local asylum.

 

[Mouse_Crouse]

Wow, I played SR2 after seeing those videos and I was amused but not impressed. But this actually look really fun.

 

[Oro44]

I must have this game. Initiate Mission: Dong-pocalypse.

 

[gyroscopeboy]

This game looks so damn fun...i wonder how they'll work out the story arc though?

 

[Mister Man]

It seems like it has been designed by a 13 year old... and I love it!

 

[Druyn]

This looks awesome, and I will get it for sure, but where is all the color? Its all browns and greys and earth tones. Where is my flashy awesome city from the advertisement?

 

[CommanderKirov]

The jet. It has lasers, rockets. Jet and Helicopter mode.


...

Also the game will occasionally pause and make supermodels visit your house, wearing nothing but a very skimpy swimsuit.

 

[Frylock72]

This looks so amazing. Even though no story or serious challenge was revealed, and it didn't need to be for this trailer, I am so ready. I wonder how Yahtzee will like it. I hope it makes the end of the year a little less stressful for him.

Not that you need a reason other than an awesome display, but this has cemented my decision to get a good TV by the end of the year.

This looks awesome, and I will get it for sure, but where is all the color? Its all browns and greys and earth tones. Where is my flashy awesome city from the advertisement?

It seemed a little drab, sure, but it was still plenty vibrant.

Edit: I just noticed, when the main character hops into the VTOL jet and starts flying, he yells out "Woo, talk to me Goose!" Also, when he peels out in the sports car by the sidewalk, a woman in an angel costume starts dancing while he's doing it.

Re-watching the trailer, it does seem a little drab at times, but the city is Steelport. It's possible it could be the game engine, too. Still, I can forgive a little drab especially since it's still more colorful than a lot of other games out right now by a lot.

 

[RebelRising]

This looks awesome, and I will get it for sure, but where is all the color? Its all browns and greys and earth tones. Where is my flashy awesome city from the advertisement?

I'm sure that there are different districts/boroughs/sectors to the city, each with with some aesthetic distinction. If you look at the skyline while the plane is being flown, you'll see a sleek, clean skyline. The immediate are looks primarily industrial.

 

[ksn0va]

Not cool man, now I need new pants!

 

[brunothepig]

looks amazing... though I still haven't got round to playing saints row 2, so i've got that to look forward to when my pc gets fixed too.

should get it on a console the pc verison of saints row 2 is really glitchy

Yeah I've heard, unfortunately I don't own a console, so I'll just have to make do, though this copy only cost me £3.74 off steam in one of their sales.
A looney tunes cartoon open world crime sandbox sounds pretty frickin awesome to me

I'm running the PC version, with a good PC I've had no problems. Got through the game, plus a lot of fucking around, cause that's what you do. It did crash once, but that may have been all the shit I was running in the background.
OT: I was laughing like an idiot all throughout this footage. I am so looking forward to this. I loved Saints Row 2, still do, and this just looks better in every way. Hopefully the story is on par, best part of Saints Row 2 was my character seemed as insane as me, just in it for fun.

 

[Mailman]

Saints Row 3. Skyrim. What little amount of free time I have will disappear when fall rolls in.

 

[Slangeveld]

This game does quite some things right.

I wonder what they'll do wrong. 'Repetitivity' might be one of those things.
