Saints Row 3 Coming This Fall

THQ formally announced it will ship Saints Row 3 this coming fall. CEO Brian Farrell confirmed the news on yesterday's publisher earnings call.

"In the fall, we plan to launch the latest installment of our Saints Row franchise, which we view as a significant growth driver in fiscal 2012," he stated.

"Volition is setting a new bar for this outstanding franchise and we look forward to unveiling this game in the near future."

Additionally, Saints Row: Drive-By, first announced for the Nintendo 3DS, is also coming to Xbox Live, which will unlock items in Saints row


Troll Time: As much as i love the saints row series i think this 3rd installment will be a failure to me
my reason why is *SPOILER* in the add on Corporate warfare the man Dex flys off to somewhere else to a different country coz he is a pussy and you the character r going to chase after him But i dont want to leave Still Water and be a different guy and not have a gang to be behind me but thats just my little nick picking of it but i do hope it does go well

Saints Row: San Andreas Part 3

Saints Row has over stayed its welcome. The story ended with 1 but they tried to keep it going with some ridicules twist where you SOMEHOW lived through being blown up. Yeah.... not buying this

I'll buy it if I have the money

I don't think Saints Row was ever serious. They're decent games, not terrible but like I said they ride the coat tales of San Andreas too much. That being said, I'll probably rent Saints Row 3.

Im getting this sounds awesome

i love the saints row games, they are pretty much a cartoonish version of gta 4

Imo, all Saints Row was good for was holding me over until GTA IV. Now, that franchise is obsolete.

Yet another failed attempt to out do GTA? They need to stop.

Here's some details on it, no more multiplayer, apparently.

• Saints Row 3 starts with a bungled heist that sees the majority of the gang jailed. This raises the ire of a new gang, the Syndicate, which holds you and your closest allies prisoner on a jet. The gang wants to squeeze a percentage of the Saints' monthly profits, which of course leads to a fight and causes your character to jump out of the jet. That's how the Saints roll.
  
  
• Johnny Gat and Shaundi, two of your major allies from Saints Row 2, will be returning as accomplices.
  
  
• Weapons can now be upgraded. For example, you can fit sniper scopes and under-barrel grenade launchers to the assault rifle.
  
  
• Another character is Oleg, an eight-foot-tall monster of a man that can toss cars around. The Syndicate attempts to clone him, but science goes wrong and creates a bunch of dumb copies. These will show up as new enemy types in the game.
  
  
• A new RC gun lets you shoot an electronic bug that can control vehicles remotely. You will be able to upgrade it to control tanks and air transport.
  
  
• Three new gangs: Morning Star, which model themselves after masked wrestlers. The Deckers, computer nerds into money laundering and security. STAG, a government-sanctioned group designed to destroy other gangs.
  
  
• Missions can be completed in multiple ways. For instance, you could blow up an important skyscraper, or take the building over. Another example if stealing a Morning Star boat full of prostitutes -- you can sell the boat back to the gang, or keep it and pimp the girls yourself for profit.
  
  
• A traditional leveling system has been included this time. Your Respect gauge now works like experience points. You'll rank up with increased respect, and kit out your character with new perks and weapons. Player choice will be paramount.
  
  
• Cars can be upgraded with more features this time. Various aesthetic and performance tweaks will be offered, such as durable bumpers, extra speed, oversized spoilers and colored underglows. More costume options for the player character are, of course, available. Confirmed costumes include space suits, cowboys/cowgirls, cheerleaders, mexican wrestlers, superheroes, pirates, ninjas, and furries.
  
  
• New weapons include a giant dildo and tactical airstrikes. That is the most extreme spectrum I've seen.
  
  
• Every single weapon has included a specific animation for nut shots. With a pistol, you'll drop
  to a knee and whip the gun into the fruits. With a bazooka, you'll take a full golf swing at the tender portions.
  
  
• The button for sprinting has been dubbed the AWESOME button because, in contextual situations, it will make your character do cool things. For example, if you sprint to a car, you'll do a missile dropkick through the window to hijack cars more efficiently.
  
  
• Confirmed Activity side-missions include: Professor Genki's Super Ethical Reality Climax, a Japanese game show full of dangerous stunts and, I'm sure, plenty of charming racism. Tank Mayhem, in which you use a tank to destroy specific high value targets. Guardian Angel, where you must drive carefully around town with a tiger in the back of your car.
  
  
• As earlier stated, online multiplayer has been killed off, but the co-op remains intact.

I dont really see whats wrong with this franchise. Todays gaming market doesnt see the huge quantities of GTA clones that there used to be. If GTA is going to be completely serious and lack a lot of the crazy fun stuff, then Saints Row is just there to pick up the job. Nothing wrong with that, especially if the games are fun and ridiculous. Co-op is also a huge bonus.

This sounds pretty awesome IM happy they got rid of multiplayer because that sucked. Maybe theyll make it 4 player Co-op?

I hope they put in Co-op, i didn't really care for the multi-player.
Saints Row 2 was really fun, cant wait for #3!

so what your saying is that i can make ninja furries driving old school cutlass's who will kill you with a rhino dildo?

ITS ABOUT TIME

holy shit i'm so excited for this definitely pre-ordering this game

also some things i hope they fix in this game is:

more than three voices (maybe a regular white male voice)

a cover system (makes the game feel a little more intense)

fix it so that you don't look so bulky when you wear a suit

a longer story (took me a week to beat saints row 2)

a little bit more realistic driving

and make co-op support more players
