STRAP IT ON THIS HOLIDAY WITH SAINTS ROW®: THE THIRDTM

THQ and Volition Inc. Take Open-World Action Over the Top and Then Some in
Next Installment of Vaunted Franchise.

AGOURA HILLS, Calif. – March 3, 2011 – THQ Inc. (NASDAQ: THQI) and Volition, Inc. ® today announced the upcoming release of Saints Row®: The ThirdTM, the highly-anticipated next installment in the multi-million unit selling Saints Row franchise.

Developed by Volition, Inc., Saints Row: The Third is scheduled for release on the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system, and Windows PC this holiday season.

“Saints Row: The Third puts you on top of the world, right at the beginning of the game, with all the perks that go along with being the head of an elite criminal organization,” said Danny Bilson, THQ Executive Vice President, Core Games. “There’s no delivering pizza, no shuttling family members about in a long series of taxi missions. Instead, you take all the power of the Third Street Saints and you take the world by storm.”

The first details of Saints Row: The Third will be revealed in the exclusive cover story in Game Informer®’s April issue, shipping to subscribers in early March 2011.

About Saints Row: The Third
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. Strap it on.

NEW CITY

GAT BOBBLEHEADS

strapping it on as we speak

That picture sums up GTA vs Saint's Row pretty well. GTA is the huge franchise that sells a billion copies, and Saints Row is the small-time contender that's quietly just raping the crap out of GTA over and over.

THQ announced the story details behind the long anticipated sequel, Saints Row: The Third, today.

‘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 Steelport, a once-proud metropolis reduced to a struggling city of sin under Syndicate control.

Take a tank skydiving, call in a satellite-targeted airstrike on a Mexican wrestling gang, and defend yourself against a highly-trained military force using only a sex toy in the most out- landish gameplay scenarios ever seen, igniting a city-wide war that will set Steelport on fire. Strap it on.’

there is some info and scans out there now. some info has been posted on gaf. I like this part:

Quote

One tedious aspect of open world crime games is waiting for the repetitve carjacking animation to complete.The last thing you want to do when youre on the run from the cops is wait for the door to open,the driver to be pulled out,and your character to get ready to drive.In saints row 3rd the LB button acts as a sprint button as well as a modifier.Volition refers to it as the AWESOME BUTTON,because it amlifies almost any action you do.In case of carjacking,this shortens the process down to a missile drop kick int the drivers seat.Sprint at the car from the side and youll break through the window,sending the driver flying out the opposite door.Approach from the front and youll leap over the hood,giving the driver a face full of boot.If youd rather stick with traditional means,the camera zooms in on your victim as you shoot them in the face,or slam the door on their head.

Shoot em up is their inspiration

stolen from gamefaqs

Quote

-Weapon Customization
- CoD Modern Warfare 2-Style Predator Drone air strikes
-Gun which allows you to hack into vehicles and either hijack them with their driver still inside, or use them to control them like UGVs(Unmanned Ground Vehicles)
-Steelport ONLY, no Stillwater
-you will target the gangs by taking over their criminal rings, which is the new way of completing activities
-drug dealing/prostitution activities: - controlled by luchadores,.
-security/money laundering activities: - controlled by the deckers.
-Mayhem: activity - controlled by syndicate
-STAG i guess is our new form of law, which could account as the swat or military.
-gang colors are back, morning star are red, luchadores are green, deckers are blue and saints are purple again.
-Theres some new wacky diversions and activities, one of them involves driving around with a tiger in your car ala ricky bobby style! and some crazy japanese gameshow that pits you against rival syndicate members in a survival of the fittest running man course.
-you have a huge golem as a homie, these freaks are failed cloned experiments, so while he's stupid, he's very freaking strong.
-there's also another diversion called "tank mayhem"

As i said
SR3>BF3

btw,GI scans spoil beginning of the game,first 2-3 pages i think

Clearly they have been reading EB, in particular the porn store adventures:

Sex Toy Bat
While it’s by no means the most subtle weapon in your arsenal, this floppy phallus packs a mean punch when used as a melee weapon. The top of this sex toy seems to have a mind of its own, wobbling around in a disturbing display of physics. Give a grandma a swift swing with this bat and you’ll witness a splash of blood and a body slamming against the pavement. It can’t feel good to get knocked out by the sex toy bat, but we think the insult may be worse than the injury in this case.

Volition has decided to axe the competitive multiplayer from Saints Row: The Third in response to overwhelming demand from fans for co-operative play. Apparently, competitive multiplayer in both of the previous two games wasn't nearly as popular as the main story-driven campaign, so Volition has gone to town with the third game's co-op.

fucking thank god for that, the only cheevo that stopped me getting 100% in SR2 was the fucking "Kingpin" cheev, which requires about 60 hours of competitive multi. Oh, and the "Confidence Men" (do all activities in co-op) achievement that me and Chronovore went for, which he got and it fucking glitched on me

Oh well, 58 out of 60 cheevs ain't bad.

I AM EXCITE.

This is just fantastic news. The co-op, once it was working, was as fun as a barrel of monkeys. But tuning competitive deathmatch is a whole different matter.

But as Sceneman points out, even when co-op was fixed, it wasn't entirely fixed. Man, that was something else. What'd we spend? Like three weekend sessions doing those Co-Op Activities?

Herr Mafflard · « **Reply #43 on:** March 11, 2011, 07:44:31 AM »

Holy shit, how awesome would it be if it wasn't just 2, but 4 player coop this time? 2v2 doubles on some of the activities and 4 player coop on the missions. Damn, I shouldn't get too excited.

They're going to put it back in if they get enough fan support for it. Which probably means it'll be a pre-order bonus or part of some online pass.
