Saints Row 3, Red Faction 4 Confirmed For E3

CC: Saints Row 3 and Red Faction 4 will be shown at the E3 expo in June, THQ have revealed.

[SpaceSquirrel]

Both SR2 and RFG are great games. Can't wait to see what the sequels adds.

[mjolliffe]

Hoping Red Faction will go back to being an FPS. And I want to see a GTA competitor in Saints Row: something focusing more on the story + fun, not just fun.

[SpaceSquirrel]

A return to the first-person perspective would be awesome for Red Fraction.

[PrimordialSoupBase]

In first-person, you really can't appreciate the destruction. What I'd like to see, however, is the open world aspect taken a away and it go back to being linear and focussed.

[Blaze929]

I dissagree. When they start trying to compete with GTA then thats when it becomes less fun. That was GTAIV did, try to focus on the story and look how fun that turned out.

Saints Row 2, in my opinion, is way better than GTAIV becuase how fun it was. Not only that, but I could literally play like 100% of the game through online co-op with my friend. THAT was a blast. On top of that, the script for the story was just hilarious.

Check out this video lol, it had me and my friend DYING laughing!:

So I can't wait for Saints Row 3. Keep online co-op in with the crazy fun action that is Saints Row and I'll buy day 1.

[rroded]

yeh i liked sr2 a lot it was what gta4 shoulda been imo

red faction was ok but no great a 1st person open world would b cool esp if we could tunnel like in the last one XD

[HSx9]

Alright before you disagree think about it, GTA4 was the most funnest realistic game we have ever played perhaps in Video Game history, but they killed it because we were not able to do most things like in GTA: SA, we couldn't gain muscle, we didn't have as much clothing options, we didn't airplanes, jets, mythologies. If anything Grand Theft Auto San Andreas or Vice City is the best GTA.

Saints row 2, it added everything we wanted, airplanes, ragdoll, cars, character customization, tons of clothing options, fun side missions, decent single player, that is why I enjoyed Saints row 2 more, it had more replay value. What game allows you to make a character that looks like Ronald McDonald, other than Saints row 2?

I am really looking forward to see what Saints row 3 offers, and hopefully they don't sell out like Rockstar and Infinity Ward.

[Logiistics]

Yes, two good games!

[farhsa2008]

wooooh, saints row rules sandbox gaming now

[chrisnick]

No, just...No.

[PLAYSTATIONGENRATION]

Is one of the most over look game this gen...which it was a good game....if not great...story and all

[reintype]

Truth be told, I enjoyed Saint's Row 2 better than GTA4.

SR2 might be stupid but at least it's fun. GTA4 was just tedious.

[lh_swe]

Same here, SR 2 was the open world game GTA IV should have been, I pray for the day when the two merge tough, GTA's graphics and polish with SR humour and style, customization and just over the top craziness.

[chrisnick]

I don't know how people think sr2 was a better game than gta. Better silly stuff like side missions, customizations and whatnot sure. But nothing changed in sr2. Same city, same concept, same easy to ignore story and forgettable characters. Maybe its me, but the reviews must mean something.

[PLAYSTATIONGENRATION]

Story wise not so much but the story was no slouch either...If you have not played saints Row 2 you should....

How could you forget GAT....

[Rocket Sauce]

I couldn't care less about the story in a game like Saints Row (or GTA, really.) Just let me do naked handstands on moving vehicles and it's all good.

[lh_swe]

The fun factor in in Saints Row 2 made it soo much more fun to play which is the reason I play games, sometimes an engaging story that is played out with a more serious outlook can catch my eye but for the sake of atmosphere some things cannot be dragged out as much as they were in GTA IV, I mean aweful side missions, the stupid friend/gf system, the lack of freedom as was presented in previous games, I know this was done for the atmosphere but again it's a sacrifice that made this a less fun experience. One other thing, Saints Row 2 made me laugh soo hard not only at the story but the times had with a friend where we'd just be messing around with all of what the world had to offer. Ohh and one more thing, it was rewarding, when I do a side mission I don't just wan't money that is useless (which it was in GTA, I mean you couldn't do anything with it) I want something else and Saints Row rewarded you for completing X amount of said side mission.

[ProjectVulcan]

Saints row 2 and GTA4- two stunningly poorly optimised Pc ports. Saints row 2 in particular was mind blowingly awful on PC. I would like to see a third, and i would like to see a Pc version that hasnt been coded by a thousand chimps at a thousand keyboards

[lh_swe]

One reason to buy a console. But you can't say the bugs ruined the games beyond play-ability?

[PhilipLarkin]

Combine the two.

[captain-obvious]

Saints Faction 7

[AliTheBrit19]

Ugh Saints Row..

What a horribly mediocre game.

[yog-sothot]

good

I hope THQ will also show something about the next Relic's game (Warhammer 40.000 Space Marines)

[movements]

Can't wait for more details! That's great news!

[Bluemaster77]

I wonder will red faction return to its 1ts person roots , dont really care for saints row

[jjesso1993]

sweet cant wait for saints row 3. sorry to say this but saints row 2 was way more fun than gta 4 i think games like gta and saints row just cant focus to much on being relistic becuase it just takes away the fun.

[Are_The_MaDNess]

just hope SR3 will use Euphoria
and i hope they will make a deeper story

[PrimordialSoupBase]

Saints Row can remain nonsense and concentrate on its game. Certainly paid dividends compared to GTA IV.

[Are_The_MaDNess]

true
but i want it to be more real (+ being fun ( if that is even possible))
like give me GTA IV with the fun and stupidity as GTA SA or SR1/2

Edit: ok, what is up with the disagree,
explain yourself

[lh_swe]

That has to be an oxymoron.

I mean this game was meant for the cheesy clishè popcorn type of action I mean this is like saying Bad Boys should have had a deep character development with a serious and truly emotional love story.

edit- I wasn't that disagree, I am this one though :P

[Are_The_MaDNess]

lol
ok maybe not a deeper story but i want it to be more real

[buckeyestar]

Great news, really looking forward to Saints Row 3. SR2 was far more fun than Grand Theft Awful 4.

[UltimateSin]

Can't wait for more details on both games, come one RFG Co-op announcement!

[Cajun Chicken]

Awesome news...but...BOTH?...Interesti ng...

[jjesso1993]

Are_The_MaDNess It is possible to make games more real you just have balance it but but when go for the relistic root you make a game less fun an example no jetpack in gta 4 this takes out a lot of fun in san andreas i loved jetpack it made ten times easyer get unlockables i think saits row is fine the way it is for me i would be happyer with bigger story lots unlockbles and keep the fun online.

[Official General]

I bought it because I felt very disappointed by GTA 4. I needed another GTA-style game at the time to fulfill my crime/action sandbox game requirements. SR2 was fun to play at first, but later on I just could'nt take it seriously as a real alternative to GTA 4 for a number of good reasons. The storyline was a bit over the top. Many aspects of the game were just too gimmicky and silly. The graphics were too cartoony and bright. If SR2 was like GTA 4 with all it's fun elements then it would be the ultimate crime simulation sandbox game. I'm just glad that the Liberty Episodes are coming to the PS3, because that Ballod of GT is suppose to be very good. If SR3 is great improvement on 2 then I'll check it out.

[peeps]

will be interesting to see what the next red faction will be like.

i preffered the series when it was fps tbh but after RFG it would be a lot of effort for them to switch it back 2 fps.

the mp modes in RFG were pretty fun tbh so hope they expand on them some more but the single player was rather boring imo. The size of the map didn't make me think 'wow look at all this area to explore', it just made me think 'damn how many similar missions do i need to do'.

it was kinda like assassins creed 1 in the sense of not having enough variation and doing the same things over and over. got rather boring.

and finally, the enemies, was way too ott, even on easy which made it hard to just mess around blowing stuff up. u drop a piece of litter and would have about 10 cars trying to ram u off the road in seconds.

[edoman20]

Hope that red faction 4 go back to the fps way and forget that TPS and sandbox crap which is getting old and boring

Saints row......what it is?
