Trailers: Saints Row: The Third Gameplay Trailer

[Prof. Monkeypox]

Oh, and it's April 1, too, how convenient.

It was pretty funny, but I can't help but feel disappointed.

Saints Row really, really annoys me as a franchise. In a time where videogames are trying to compete with the artistic merits of other media and also become more mature you get Volition spewing out more garbage like this. The stories in each game are farcically awful; you can't relate to any of the characters unless you're a sociopath; the humour is very low-brow, not clever and immature; and the driving mechanic is unceremoniously bad (seriously - on Xbox 360 you press A to accelerate? That means you're either always going at full throttle or not going at all. To maintain any sort of constant speed you have to tap A, kangarooing the car about).

lame sauce.

 

[poiuppx]

WOO! SAINT'S ROW, BABY! Represent the Row by punching a dude in the groin! Got a gun in hand? TOO FAST! USE YOUR FISTS!

Man, I cannot WAIT for this game. It shall be awesome. AWESOME!

 

[drwow]

I was expecting an April fools day thing.
what I got was beautiful.

 

[monkey_man]

Wasn't that a swift kick punch in the balls

 

[BreakfastMan]

Oh, what the frell? There was barely any gameplay in that trailer!

Also, am I the only one who thinks THG's new logo looks terrible?

 

[FogHornG36]

Ahhhh, saints Row, you sure are the master of comedy, i wonder if in this game they are going to finally take the last step and start making the dead baby jokes.

Because I saw Jackass 3D and was appalled that such garbage existed amongst artistic expression?

OT: I'm sold - I adored Saints Row 2 and didn't need much more of a push for The Third, but this is just too damn good to pass up. xD

I have nothing against realism in video games, but anything gets boring if you never see anything else. Impeccably realistic games are no exception. Variety is needed to keep things fresh. VARIETY!

I like variety. Variety is important to me. When Saints Row 2 first came out, after an endless barrage of ultra-realistic games, I was so desperate for variety that I played nothing but Saints Row 2 for six months!

 

[kajinking]

Still that's more gameplay than you get in some trailers

 

[RAWKSTAR]

Either great news or the sadest April Fools ever.

 

[SageRuffin]

Saints Row, bitches!

Although I must say I liked the kick from 2 (while dual-wielding) was more hilarious.

You shouldn't take the Saints Row games too seriously. These (kind of) games know that they are very stupid and that's so good about them. These games don't take themself serioulsy, they're just there to be fun and that is awesome! Not every game has to be like ICO or Bioshock (don't get me wrong, I love these kind of games)but some games are just their to be silly fun (I lost count how often Saints Row 2 made me laugh). So I don't understand your problem.

I never expected anything less from the sequel to my favourite game of all generation. I want it now!
