Saints Row: The Third Gameplay Info
See Full ImageSaints Row has always been entertaining, but the third installment will need a definite boost if it wants to compete with the big boys.
And that seems to be THQ's plan. According to new information garnered from the recent PlayStation Magazine, we learn of a variety of upgrades and features that may help Saints Row: The Third excel in the sales category: first, as choice and freedom continues to become more popular this generation, it should be known that "the player will make major decisions that dictate the ending." As you gather up the city in your iron grip, you'll be able to build safe houses, but you have to eliminate the "Flash Points" (random pockets of rival gangs) in the area before you can do so. They also claim that story missions will be "far more diverse," and the graphics will be significantly improved thanks to better detail and a "slightly less cartoonish aesthetic."
For our part, we're just wondering if they plan to hire any pornstars to be involved in the game. Or if they'll only be added via extra DLC at a later date.

I seriously cannot wait for this game, loved the first one,I enjoyed it more than GTAIV so i'm hanging out for this one.
If there are any new vids then i'll be snooping around, i want as much info on this game prior to it's release as possible, just to ease the wait.

Every achievement, completed quests, cash, items etc were following your character across solo play and coop play. Single and coop modes were completely merged and perfectly executed, an example for others to follow.
I think they received far too little cred for this with Saints Row 2. One might argue that Borderlands too has similar features, but that game is *far* simpler in design.
The only thing I really, really hope they improve with sr3 is the vehicle handling.
But is there any mention of release date yet? Not even month?

From the looks of it sr3 seems to be more of what sr2 was, only adding to it. I'm fine with that. Hopefully there will be a *lot* more stuff to buy and things to wear. Man we had hours of fun just going crazy in the clothing stores. :D
And my gansta grrl is badder than yo gangsta grrl! ;)

And I don't think this looks more sophisticated at all? But I wonder how the missions will be, cause I think the missions in SR2 were diverse enough, loads of crazy stuff.
