'Saint’s Row 2' Breaks New Ground

Posted by Eugene Morton - Wednesday, December 19, 2007 2:08 PM

Saint’s Row 2 is going to be off the chain and that’s not an empty boast. Right now all any sandbox loving gamer can think about is GTA IV and for good reason, but after you’ve claimed Liberty City in the name of Niko Bellic, you might want to take a trip back to the Stillwater and once again tread The Row.

In a newly revamped and larger (45%, to be exact) city with 130 playable interiors, you’ll be able to take your revenge on those who wronged you in helicopters, speedboats, jet-skis  and even planes, which can literally plow through buildings!

Plus, there will also be a story mode that’s completely co-op (in yet another first). Furthermore, players will have the option of playing as a character of either gender or as character who has a non-specific gender. Groundbreaking!

Two things are certain; first, in a game where you can crash through buildings in a plane, some uptight politician is going to call it a training simulator for terrorists and second, this game is going to rock!

Weren't Jet skis playable in GTA Vice city stories?

@Nightfirewlf:

Yes, they were.

They were, indeed.

i heard that you can throw people into the streets in this game

Posted by mberko1 - Wednesday, December 19, 2007 2:50 PM
How typical, they wait till after GTAIV comes out to make yet another GTA clone. is this 360 exclusive? hope not in case it is a decent game

Posted by mattgindago - Wednesday, December 19, 2007 2:57 PM
acctually you could drive a jetski in Just Cause... but that count because JC Sucked...

Posted by mattgindago - Wednesday, December 19, 2007 2:58 PM

i also remember jet skis in vice city stories. but back to the toic i cant wait for this game, i loved the first one except the small map but hearing this news makes me happy.

Posted by The_Juno - Wednesday, December 19, 2007 3:06 PM
Yes....but when the Saint's Row will be on PS3 version?

Posted by pABSO - Wednesday, December 19, 2007 3:14 PM
Planes? I can already here the complaints, "It's a 9/11 simulator!"

Posted by neonchez - Wednesday, December 19, 2007 3:25 PM
@The_Juno

personally, i think they are going to skip putting the first Saint's Row on PS3. i don't think to many ppl would buy it, it's been out for to long. sort of like Lost Planet. but w/e i'm pretty sure i read that Saint's Row 2 is coming to the ps3.

Posted by sleekonia - Wednesday, December 19, 2007 3:29 PM
Man saints row was a pretty damn good game. the online play was alittle lame but for an alt. to GTA it hit a home run for me. hey dont get me wrong i love GTA but saints row did somthing right, in its own respect. I cant wait for GTA 4 and Saints row 2 to come out.

@callofdutyshooter. You say the most asanine things sometime. Im sure in two years all microsoft games will cost 200-400 dollars. I mean that makes so much marketing sense.

Posted by staychisel - Wednesday, December 19, 2007 3:33 PM
saints row was OKAY (decent enough), but i'd definitely try part 2 out. i personally thought the map in the first one was a decent size, plus it was the first sandbox type of game to be in high def. the one thing that really sucked about it was the storyline.

Posted by Crazyjd87 - Wednesday, December 19, 2007 3:47 PM
"non-specific gender" a tranny? sweeeettt! lol

Posted by AlmightyTub - Wednesday, December 19, 2007 3:59 PM
Saints Row was cancelled for the PS3 so they could concentrate on Saints Row 2.

oops, sorry for the dp.

Posted by Cardenjs - Wednesday, December 19, 2007 5:33 PM
I have preference to Saints Row over GTA4 because of customization, something a few gamers will take into consideration when choosing between the two

Posted by SillyGoose900 - Wednesday, December 19, 2007 6:10 PM
since i own a ps3 i missed the first one...but i guess i'll catch it this time around...assuming its not a crappy port.

Posted by Lucio87 - Wednesday, December 19, 2007 7:03 PM
I don't care how many people say Saint's Row was a GTA knockoff it was still a pretty damn fun game. Another game I am glad thats getting a sequel. As good as the last half of 2007 was, 2008 looks to be another good year for gaming.

Posted by tays014 - Wednesday, December 19, 2007 7:15 PM
Um one of the greatest game off all time in Resident Evil 4 had a jet ski at the end so yea and crashing into buildings will be nice but GTA IV is going to be better

Posted by KTson14 - Wednesday, December 19, 2007 9:32 PM
wat ever re4 wasnt reely dat good any way.. Saints Row 2 iz gonna b an awesome game.. even wit only screens it'll b better dan re4, so stop trippin ova dat game. But i will hav 2 admit i will git gta IV b 4 i git sr2, but im gonna buy both!

Posted by Truzen - Wednesday, December 19, 2007 10:11 PM
I've personally burned out on the GTA franchise (played original overhead 1-SA) and haven't have a chance to played SR. I passed on the first, viewing it as a simple GTA knock off, but if SR2 is going to have co-op, count me in. Good co-ops are few.

Posted by smeginthuhead - Thursday, December 20, 2007 4:26 AM
How much you want to bet flying into buildings gets removed thanks to 9/11.

Posted by X_Complication - Thursday, December 20, 2007 5:00 AM
I can see it now, some guy on youtube is gonna become really famous for a few weeks with the video he makes in that game. It'll be a comedy something like RedvsBlue and it'll be from the terroist POV. The possibilities.

on the other hand I've grown weary of TheFeed so I'm not expecting much from this "planes, which can literally plow through buildings!" It's probably actually just a billboard or 1-2 minor buildings in the whole game.

Posted by Tmidiman - Thursday, December 20, 2007 6:25 AM
sleekonia, you said it. Saints Row is it's own game and GTA is cool too. I can't wait to get both of these games.

Posted by staychisel - Thursday, December 20, 2007 6:38 AM
let's just hope they both don't come out around the same time.

Posted by KratosFan - Thursday, December 20, 2007 7:15 AM
@KTson14- Did you manage to pass kindergarten? What grade are you in? I doubt you can even speak English, you certainly can't type it. I don kno anbody dat typs lik dis. I understand that this is an Internet forum, and so some 1337-5Pp3@k can apply, but your post is so unreadable. Yeesh, learn to type like you have an IQ over 5.

Posted by KratosFan - Thursday, December 20, 2007 7:17 AM
Actually, a better question would be, how old are you? You're at least 1, because you can type, but you can't be more than 5, because you have no grammar, spelling, or even proper English.

Posted by bugman26 - Thursday, December 20, 2007 7:30 AM
I can't stand it when people say that games like this are "GTA clones". That is like saying that every FPS is a clone of the first FPS. There always going to be games of the same gender just with a different twist.

I'm all for it. If a dev. can look at one game and find a way to change the things he doesn't like and produce a new style of that game that is great. If we had this mentality about everything, we would all still be driving model T's because no one would've come up with their own version of the automobile.

Posted by Bellamorte - Thursday, December 20, 2007 8:16 AM
As long as you can still get the twins from Freckle Bitches, SR2 will do well...

Posted by Ultimicia07 - Thursday, December 20, 2007 9:02 AM
seems my post was removed. oh well, i guess i'll reiterate that I hope this picks up where the last one left off. also, it would be cool if you could load your previous character file from the first one.

Posted by gottennks - Thursday, December 20, 2007 9:18 AM
grand theft auto started a trend saints row is just kepping it going while gta is away

Posted by skilrax88 - Thursday, December 20, 2007 3:58 PM
finally co-op! and did they change any thing about online or if it doesnt have it anymore?

Posted by HALOscorpian - Thursday, December 20, 2007 4:55 PM
saints row and crackdown are the only 2 successful GTA clones out there since they are unique from one another just not doing the same things at GTA...i plan on getting Saints Row 2 and GTA 4

Posted by dede416 - Thursday, December 20, 2007 6:34 PM
I want to play but it is for the 360 but saints row 2 is coming out for the PS3. YES!!!

Posted by twitchy92 - Friday, December 21, 2007 7:43 AM
i realy enjoyed the first saints row, but i hope they dont screw up the ending like they did in the first one.

Posted by game0n32 - Monday, January 07, 2008 8:32 AM
