Brilliant. Only 4 months to go!
Still can't bring myself to pre-order after shuddering my way through the SR2 PC port, though.

It seems that, in order to play Saints Row: The Third, I'm going to have to retreat to that little part of my mind where I feel no shame.
I might as well say it this time: Unless there are more male models dressed like beloved videogame icons, this stunt holds no appeal for anyone but children on account of their seeing breasts and thinking that it is mealtime!
Slightly more seriously, they ought to be wearing space suits/fur suits to go with the wacky theme of the game. Going out of their way to hire women known for their body builds only to hide them behind bulky costumes would brilliantly bonkers.

Keeping it classy, THQ. I know it's not like Saint's Row is pedigreed or anything, but could we keep the ridiculous publicity stunts to games that blatantly suck and are desperate for attention?
And yet, even with all of the ladies and having one of the voice actors be none other than Sasha Grey, I'll bet that any in-game nudity will STILL be censored (like in Saints Row 2) because America is filled with a bunch of Puritanical assholes.
@ John B, while I agree, when seeing nudity in games it doesn't have the shock value. Red Dead Redemption is a good case. We get to see Mr. Mexican mans penis, but honestly, if I didn't see it it wouldn't have impacted me either way.
I think with SR2 I found it funnier being it was censored. Honestly, if they were to have a big black censor box flopping around my legs while streaking I'd laugh harder than I would actually seeing it. It's all about pushing the persons imagination. That is how I see it.

I assume they also considered the fact that these ladies get naked a gobble down on cocks for money.
That was the #1 reason on their list.

@UsedGamers-I'm pretty sure that John B was referring to female nudity.
Male nudity gets so little in the way of response from anyone that one has to bring any male nudity to their attention.
Does anyone even remember the Naked Ninjas from Three Dirty Dwarves or the penises on the statues in Castlevania:Symphony of the Night??
Now female nudity, even the stuff that isn't considered 'nudity' on their male counterparts and varies by culture, is what drive prudes into fits.
Just imagine what fresh Hell would have been unleashed if Mystique in X-Men was as anatomically correct as her male forebearer in baring all, Doctor Manhattan!
@John B-Titillation sells but showing too much simulated skin could be costly in terms of fines and pointless lawsuits so it ain't gonna happen.

@Faux Furry: Um ... the Supreme Court has already ruled that simulated nudity is not nudity. No one would have any grounds for any fines let alone lawsuits.
@Used Gamers: I couldn't care less either way. I never bothered with the streaking mini-game in SR2. (I didn't even know it existed until I finished the game.) To me, it's just the principle of the whole thing. Here was a game where you could run over or blow away pedestrians, beat them up at will, shoot at cops, blow up cars, and do all sorts of things like that ... but God forbid you see a nipple or a butt crack. It just plays even more to this bullshit mentality here in the States that violence of any kind is just a-okay but anything revolving around nudity has to be hidden away, and SR2 played right into it.

I personally think that they threw their money away. This not being 1983 when most boys were burping their trouser baby over Daisy Duke, it just is not a publicity decision that will help sell the game.....Jim Sterlings review on a hopefully well made game will serve them far better.....they should have given him an "under-the-table hello" with the money.
"THQ's marketing for this game has jumped the shark so many times it has become the shark."
And now the shark is jumping on top of itself. It's a mobious double reacharound of cluelessness fail.

This really is quite stupid. More shockingly is that you, Jim, would state that a game will be fantastic before actually playing it. If you indeed mean this in the positive sense you are already either suckered by the hype, or worse than that have become a part of the hype, or more so the hype machine.
If on the other hand you are simply suggesting that by fantastic that this game will in fact be a fantasy, well that's just stating the obvious. Why be rhetorical?
No, I believe it is a matter of the former, in which case I say for shame, Jim, for shame.

Every other videogame companies human resources department is kicking themselves for not thinking of this first.
As someone who was laid off from THQ/Volition a few years ago...this irritates me to see this...beyond words...
*sigh*
The stunt marketing for this game can only lead me to believe that it's going to be complete shit and the only way for it to sell well is to make it appear that the game is more EXTREME than GTA.
12 year olds will eat it up like crazy!

I wasn't sold on this game until i watched some of the trailers on XBL...i mean, come on - face planting a random pedestrian then posing on the ground after? how can you not love that?!
Up until this point I thought that my job required some degree of skill and talent but the fact that they are hiring 5 women whos only known skills are taking her clothes off and posing in front of a camera makes me a bit sad. Whats worse is that they are likely getting paid a lot more than I am for that same job.
That aside still getting this game and it will probably be in the running for my game of the year with LA Noire, Portal 2, and possibly catherine

Finally some QA testers that know what they are doing. For sure they would have had a good hand in making the dildo work properly!
Lol the outcry about this is absolutely hilarious, grow the fuck up people...porn stars can be gamers too. Im also quite sure this is just a publicity stunt and they are not the only Q&A people for SR3.

Bah, check out the old marketing for SR2 (good old Uncle Gary). And SR2 was a terrific game.

i think its perfect. who better to play one of the most mindlessly masochistically awesomely awesome games ever? mindless whores of course. they can make them selves in the game and go around smacking each other with dildos in coop. then do it for real that same night.
Really looking forward to this game, but honestly couldn't care less about the "bro's 'n ho's" marketing.
