Hells yeah. I let Uncharted pass me by on release day and still plan on waiting until I beat Batman, but this I'm getting at midnight. Can't wait. I haven't followed too much of the details either so that's a bonus.

Well they did get rid of the food/drug healing system so it makes sense it's not there.

So can you really not layer different clothes on? Like a different shirt under a jacket?

Also does hair styles and things like that interfere with vehicles. Like the head sticking half way out or something like that?

I'm on the fence with getting this game.

Some folks got into the files. The first batches of DLC are already on the disc,at least partially.

So what? Just because something is on the disc it doesn't mean that they are deliberately holding things back, they just might not have had time to finish everything and/or are using resources that are already in the game for part of the DLC.

Also, sometimes developers need the DLC to be on disc for online play. Mortal Kombat had issues with that.

Is THQ direct offering this, or someone else?

Correct. They shouldn't ever interfere with vehicles.

A dev explained the lack of layering on the forums...

"The changes made to character creation were not made lightly (or without heavy discussion)

Ultimately it comes down to the differences in how NPCs are created in SR2 vs SR3.

In SR2 all of the peds shared a skeleton with the player. This meant that any asset that you saw on a ped could pretty much be used by the player, and indeed, pedestrians were pretty much created using our player creation tool. The shared skeleton approach was not without its share of problems though.

In SR3 our peds are individually modeled, not assembled via paper doll. As a result they look better and take less memory (Which lets us have more peds on the screen at one time than SR2). Also we use multiple skeletons, which lets us get better animations since we dont have to always account for the lowest common denominator. The downside of this is that we no longer had a one stop shop where a ped asset also instantly became a player customization asset, which meant we had less time to create clothes for the player. And because we used a totally new engine, we were starting from scratch there was no reusing SR2 assets and we were starting from square one (SR2 benefitted tremendously from reuse that we simply could not do on three).

The change in skeletons is also why there is no gender slider in SR3, when you select male or female, we are actually swapping out the skeleton as opposed to just changing cosmetics.

I miss layers too. They were awesome. But at the end of the day both combat and the feeling of walking around the city is better for this decision, not only because things look better visually, but because there are more people for you to **** with.

That all being said, there are some AMAZING things that people have built with the Initiation Station, and I've lost tons of hours going through the gallery to look at them all (to say nothing of the time i spend making my own creations)."

So I guess there's hope for SR 4.

Is THQ direct offering this, or someone else?

THQ directly.

re: Saints Row: The Third

Not sure how I feel about this game. I am glad of the overall change they made from seriousness to fun/silly. But, I prefer serious. I am definitely renting it tough. I dont really see my self doing the extra stuff in the game unless it is in the mian storyline.
