I see what you did there, Volition.

Even if you don't regularly keep up on first-person shooters, most of the ones set in the present have developed a certain style when it comes to trailers. Leave it to Saints Row: The Third to step in and poke fun at the situation in such a way that many of us can enjoy. Particularly love the "actual game footage."

I'm also interested in that sky fortress. The Mile High Club was one of my favorite parts of Just Cause 2 -- really glad to see more open-world games embrace vertical space.

Volition is REALLY nailing it with this marketing campaign. I seriously wasn't interested in this game until that Professor Genki trailer. Now this!

Take that MW3! But not BF3. This, BF3 and Skyrim = bliss.

Is this shit actual in Saints Row the Third? Cause I've never played any Saints Row before but if it's true, than fuck this is a day one purchase for me.

Is there anything this game doesn't have?

@mcmuffin - Yeah, SR1 wasn't anything special, but SR2 really came together nicely and did its own thing. Saints Row: The Third looks like the logical extension of that. I have high hopes.

Hopefully they fixed the horrible aim and driving from the first 2. .
Other than that, if this game is what the videos make if out to be Rockstar's got their work cut out for them.

Is the Helicarrier a reference to SHIELD? Hell i'd think even the word STAG on it as a group name is similar to SHIELD.

I really want this game, but it launches in such a bad time. I'm sorry Saints Row, but I'm going to put Skyrim ahead of you. Maybe in December.

This game is getting more insane by the minute, awesome.

I'll wait for the GOTY regardless though, I'm not going to be fucked over by THQ's bullshit DLC plans.

@wk

Seems the retail disc will host quite a bit more content than Saint Row 2 did. Why wait over a year to play the videogame equivalent to amazing? Who knows if the DLC will even be worth it?

Epic-Kx: Shitting his pants is his sign of approval?

*I'm sorry to have a go at him unprovoked, but "i just did something nasty in my pants" sounds less like one of those "I'm so excited I came" jokes and more like "I just cut a nasty one or shat myself". Actually, you know what? I'd prefer it was his intent. He's only 12 ffs!

BF3, Skyrim, and SR3 will be my games of choice this holiday season for monetary reasons (otherwise Arkham City would be added to that list). I cannot wait.

I'm guessing nobody here played BF2142, but that flying aircraft carrier might very well be a reference to the Titans, of the titan mode of that game.
