Awesome, pure Awesome I can't wait for it to come in the mail

I've been procrastinating on renewing my GI subscription, even though I loved the magazine. Probably should get around to doing that, and playing the first two saints rows.

Loved the second one, hope the 3rd will be even better

The second one was great, and by the looks of the cover the third one will be just as fun. I'm excited to get my issue.

I still can't believe it's the next cover. I was expecting Mass Effect 3 but this is pure win :celebration:

I can't wait for Saint's Row 3. Those games are just awesome.

Oh wicked! I love Saints Row. I didn't even know a third one was in the makes, thanks OP. :celebration:

Great for fans of this game... but I'm seriously waiting for ME3 :sadvaultboy:

Can't wait! :celebration:

A lot of good games coming out this holiday season, I'm not sure I'll be able to buy them all :sadvaultboy:

This is great news, I absolutely loved the second one. Saints Row is what Grand Theft Auto IV should have been, in my opinion.

Hopefully they make it playable on the PC this time..

Agreed. Saints Row 2 > GTA:4 (IMO).

I'm really pleased to hear about this, I had no idea a third one was on its way. I just hope they don't make the mistake Rockstar did and make it too 'serious'.

I've been waiting for this!

Saints Row 2 is more like GTA than GTA 4 was, it's great. GTA 4 moved away from fun and towards realism/seriousness, and I don't see that changing in the future.

There are all sorts of things I always wished I could do in GTA 4, which I then found out were possible in Saints Row 2 (some new, some also in San Andreas).

• Mug pedestrians? Yes!
  
• Rob stores? Yes!
  
• 'Car surfing' on top of a moving vehicle? (Really, that's what I tried in GTA 4) Yes!
  
• Full character customization? Yes!
  
• Grabbing a taxi/firetruck/police car/ambulance/etc and do missions for them for money and other bonuses? Yes!
  
• Playing more minigames that are fun, rather than taking your idiot cousin bowling? Yes!
  
• Crazy weapons? Yes!
  
• Making other NPCs follow you and help you out? Yes!
  
• Getting rewarded for doing wheelies and flips and other stunts with cars and motorcycles? Yes!

Then there's other stuff, like when you steal a car and there's a pedestrian in the passenger seat, you can start a hostage mission. Or you can grab pedestrians and use them as human shields. Or throw them. Naturally, the better you throw them the more respect you get. Fun!

Shame that Saints Row 2 somehow managed to get a worse PC port than GTA 4.


I love http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rVV3MrQ4SpY&hd=1 where they make fun of GTA 4. There's also a radio station, I think it's the metal one, where you sometimes hear some Russian guy called Vladimir talk, and he sounds exactly like Roman from GTA 4.

SR2 was awesome, I loved the side missions/activities, like insurance fraud and liked how it rewarded you e.g faster running.

Saw an article about this a few weeks ago, can't wait to hear more about the game. I heard they might include Red Faction's destruction engine, that'd be epic.

Great. I hope they can go balls out insane again.

Pretty cool. Bought the original game when it first came out, and it was awesome. Actually rented the second just a couple weeks ago and it was a lot of fun too. I'm sure that this one is going to be awesome as well.

I wonder what Graphics Engine they'll use in the game.

i will be getting this game
played the first two

:drool:

The insannity, customisation and fun of SR2 with the destruction of RF, well it official SR > GTA (though SA is still an amazing game).

I'm curious to see how this one turns out. It seems Saint's Row learns how to get it right. Saint's Row was 'eh', Saint's Row 2 was pretty fun, so if it keeps getting better, then Saint's Row 3 will be pretty amazing. I love GTA 4, but I felt retconning Liberty City into utter realism was it's downfall, but at least Rockstar started to listen, albeit to late, since Lost and Damned was gritty, and Ballad of Gay Tony was the only one that really did anything 'outside normal' but even then, it was pretty tame. I still prefer the Liberty City of yore. Oh Rockstar, what has thou doneth.

@ Rat- Ehh, I didnt care much for SA, but thats because the whole prevelance of the 'gangsta' theme was obnoxious. I enjoyed flying airplanes and playing in Venturas, that's about it.

That is my number one gripe with SA as well, but if you can get past that the game has some of the best activities of the series.

Oh yeah, I pretty much just looked at the main story and threw it in the trash, the story to it is rubbish IMO, but it's Sandbox was pulled off so well that I enjoyed it soley for its freedom.

I absolutely loved Saints Row 2, so chances are that I'll be picking up this as well. Add split screen coop (not just online) and maybe 4 player online coop and I'll be in love . . .
