Along with news of a release date on 15th November, Volition have produced a CG trailer for Saints Row: The Third. Straight facts, no jokes. Except for this one: What’s red and invisible? No tomatoes.

looks like there going to be some government VTOLs to pimp out in this installment, as long as the PC version is optimized, its a buy for me
report
I assume that by “optimized” you mean “not ported by a bunch of monkeys on crack”
report
Didn’t Volition say that they were going to do their ports in house after how terrible the SR2 and Red Faction ones were?
fake edit: Indeed they did: http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2011/03/17/volition-boss-says-no-more-duff-pc-ports/
report
Well CD Projekt RED ported Saints Row 2.
report
VTOL stands for very tall objects of love, doesn’t it? Cause it should.
report
@ kikito That would be an improvement.
@ Daniel Klein If only.
report
Lots of fighting, but what is the point/plot!
report
it’s saints row, who cares!
report
by that i mean, who cares, it’s gonna rule
report
What plot?
report
The plot is actually quite good, in a silly way.
report
What is point, Saints Row? What is point?
report
You made me say “What Is Point” out loud.
report
for a CG trailer designed to make me interested in saints row the third it manages to just that. Consider me interested. NOW SHOW ME SOME GAMEPLAY to coax that interest even deeper into my soul.
report
I am one of the few/many who really dont like the saints row games. They never seemed fun or funny to me.
Also everytime I see a trailer or screenshot, I get the image of a teenager being sick out the window of a fiat punto.- I don’t know why.
report
I don’t know why either but that visual makes me laugh – of you associating Saints Row with vomiting Punto passengers, not the image of vomiting Puntites itself!
report
you know whats even funnier? The visual of you visualizing his visualization of puking post-pubescent punto passengers.
report
Yeah, hard to tell what anything in that trailer was about. I guess I should get back to my playthrough of SR2 before this one comes out.
report
This could be epic. Saint Rows 2, only with a good driving system, and everything else that made the old one great. Add a solid multiplayer mode, and I will die happy :D
report
That lady with the laptop seems dangerously nonchalant.
report
That was really the most interesting part of the the video to me too.
That or the Jewish-trappings-as-fashion for a mafia man.
report
I was waiting for the reveal that She’s the one playing the game all along!
report
Got to be the Big Bad.
report
How did SR3 become my most anticipated game of the year? In fact, its really the only game that I’m looking forward to. How?
report
Cause you actually play them for fun? ^_^
report
I’m guessing one of the first mods will be one that adds excessive levels of blood then.
report
Are there not enough symbols in the world ? the “Fleur-de-lis” yet again (was in SR 2 too ,i know) , it was plastered all over teh second witcher. It’s like they all are french clergy … i know it’s a silly thing to whine about but i needed to get it out.
report
A few more triskelia would be nice. Maybe for a game inspired by the Isle of Man.
report
It’s because they’re members of the Scout Movement.
report
The Triskelia and the associated motto “Whichever way you throw it, it always falls over” as I learned yesterday from somewhere I’ve forgotten.
report
You realize it’s because of the gang names. The SAINTS. As in, the Catholic church.
report
Well, although I can understand your view on this, get your facts straight about this one my friend: the “Fleur de Lys” is first and foremost the symbol of the French house of Bourbon, it’s not related to religion beyond the fact that the Bourbons ended up becoming kings of France and kinda “deputy chief of the Church” for the kingdom. I know that doesn’t make the whole stuff less Frenchy, but no need to make it clergy-related either. :)
report
STYLISH.
report
Why is Bowie cuddling Alyx Vance?
report
You read my mind.
Stop that.
report
It would be remiss of me not to comment on the ‘Joke’ originating with a certain Mr Charlie Brooker. Has John been watching screenwipe on YouTube?
report
The joke absolutely does not.
I was first told that joke in 2000. So there.
report
Do you keep a joke journal?
report
strap it on
report
I am going to jack one of those VTOLs. Out of the air. “Sorry, this mine now.” “But, I am a government man, not a bird; I can not fly!” “This is not a problem of me. Is mine now bye.”
report
I like that they were not afraid to go balls out, since that’s what I love about this series. I just hope they mke it playable on the PC this time, and make mods easy.
report
Hoverjets at the end – wtf?
report
I second this opinion. The appearance of those ludicrously futuristic hoverjets was Something Completely Unexpected ™. And in combination with other announced elements, such as the Saints selling their own consumer products, high-end weapons boutique run by your opponents, and gladiatorial reality show with crazy Japanese announcers, they give me an idea that Saints Row 3 will dip it’s toes into the cyberpunk genre.
report
…and that’s glorious.
report
Whelp, the world presented this trailer is even more bizarre than the one in Cargo!.
report
One day, there will be a Freespace 3. One day.
(though I guess there are already kind of a couple)
report
I shed a tear and saluted the Volition logo too. One day…
report
I have no idea what happened in that video.
report
It’s a pure CG trailer, but it was a fun to watch. I just hope the game is more fun the trailer for it.
report
I thought the main picture was of APB for a moment.
report
Well if the PC conversion isn’t as borked as the previous one then I’m sold, especially if it’s Steam instead of GFWL. I did play SR2 for over 100 hours, does that make me street enough?
report
Did You Survive The Boat Explosion?
report
never thought i’d hear some king crimson at a game trailer, but i loved it.
report
So it wasn’t just me that noticed it then? :)
report
I’m actually pretty surprised that this is the first time someone put a kanye song into a game trailer
report
Bah, straight facts are DULL. This thread needs more jokes!
Q: What’s brown and sticky?
A: Packing tape.
Oh, turns out that was another straight fact, not a joke. Sorry.
report
Lol, the hostage chick looks exactly like Alyx Vance.
report
I noticed it aswell.
report
This is basically what it was like working at RPS.
KG
report
Jesus, how did you find enough hired goon bouncers to guard the door when all of their predecessors were STABBED every single day?!
report
This trailer made me realise what I want in the game — two hot twin henchmen (henchwomen?) to assist me in my world domination.
report
Differentiated only by the color of their sunglasses or the side of their bodies their chains are on?
Personally, I’d want different coloured lipstick/nail polish on each, and they’d hand me cigarettes with coloured filters that matched whichever one gave it to me. Then I’d be world dominating in style.
report
What’s with the cameo by L4D’s hunter?
