Okay, I want it now. That looked like an awesome movie scene.

That mission looked like a blast. Was a little concerned about the "over-the-top" angle they were going for in this game but what I've been hearing & the couple videos I've seen, looks like it'll be just as much fun as Saint's Row 1 & 2 were.

I'm more of a GTA fan but I have to admit watching that last video that this game looks like a blast to play!

The quick time event was the only thing I didn't like. Looks like a lot of over the top fun.

Going back to Saint’s Row: The Third; we’ve heard that there are multiple endings to the narrative. Can you give us an insight into how many endings there will be?

Well, there are two major endings, but the important thing to clarify is that you get many major choices throughout the game. You get a major choice at the end of each act, and there are three acts.

In those acts you have a number of more minor choices and the final one does actually affect the outcome of the game. There are some very interesting choices in there, and I think people will really have to think about the paths that they choose.

We’re excited about this feature, and to give you an example: Early on the game you have the opportunity to decide to blow up a building, or leave it.

You get a certain reward based on whatever your choice is. So if you keep it, you can use it as a crib and go back there later. It’s beneficial as it’s in a well-situated area of the city.

This is where you can go to access your weapons cache, change your outfit and all of that. If you choose to blow it up, you get a different reward, which is more monetary income per day.

So it’s like, “Do I want the ease of having a crib in the middle of the city, or do I want to get money quicker so I can buy upgradeable weapons faster?” So we feel these are compelling choices that will make players think about what they choose.

That's interesting stuff, I really like the direction video games are going these days with multiple endings and really giving the gamer tough decisions that affect the outcome.

I pre-ordered this over the weekend. That pre-order package is hilarious.

Never played a Saint's Row game, but this looks like what GTA IV could have been. Not to say GTA IV wasn't fun, but for some reason they took out all the things that made GTA: SA such a blast.

Yah this is all about jetpacks and crazy hidden stuff.

st67, just go watch some SR2 videos on youtube. You will laugh and be amazed at what these guys can think of.

Gamescom: Five Insane Things You Can Do in Saints Row The Third

• Get an interracial sex change
  
  Saints Row: The Third lets you customize your character to your own specifically perverted liking. We started out playing as a white dude. Boring, right? So we stopped by the plastic surgeon and before we knew it we were a hot Asian girl. Next, we cranked up our sex appeal until our boobs would give us serious back problems. In order to get the full benefit of our assets, we made our character topless (although the boobs will appear highly pixilated while running around the game). We added a cheerleader miniskirt and, the piece de resistance, a giant wolf head mask.
  
  So our character was a hot Asian girl with huge boobs running around in just a short miniskirt and a wolf mask. Many boyhood fantasies were fulfilled.
  
  The character customization goes much deeper than this example. You can set an age, give yourself blemishes and scars, and even select a voice. Want to be a she-hulk or a 90-year old crack whore zombie? The only limit is your effed up imagination.

• Play in traffic.
  
  Saints Row: The Third has Insurance Fraud missions, which give you a limited amount of time to cause a certain amount of damage to your own body. We would find a busy intersection and just lay down in the middle, letting tons and tons of metal do their worst to our fleshy frame. Not only is it quite enjoyable to watch yourself be ground into the cement by a semi truck, but you also earn valuable respect points. Because you're obviously a psychopath, and no one wants to f^@$ with you.

I really can't wait for this game.

They should've picked 5 that weren't already possible in SR2.

re: Saints Row: The Third

I just realized that I never played Saints Row 2. Or even Saints Row 1.

I take it that most people here should say I should?

re: Saints Row: The Third

I haven't played SR1, but SR2 is hilarious and fun in a cartoony, violent way.
