Article says nothing about any 'improvements' just like the 'improvemens' to all the other PS3 ports from the 360 which look horrible on the PS3...Fight Night Round 3 and Ridge Racer 7 anyone?

R34GTR6301d ago

Ridge Racer 7 had improved physics and the addition of slipstreaming and I think the car customizations thing was new as well. Either way Ridge Racer is just a weak game. And FNR3 is controversal i have heard plenty specualtion thats said the PS3 character models are better. Maybe this is why FNR3 for PS3 and the Trailer from Assassing Creed where both nominated for a graphical achievement award. Im sure people remember that article that was on Gamespot a while back. You should of ran with COD3 & Tony Hawk Project 8. those ports sucked.

andy capps6301d ago

Not surprising. This has been a rumor for a long time anyway. I'm tired of this type of game but I know a lot of Playstation fans will enjoy the GTA style gameplay. Anyway, maybe I'll check out the demo if they put one out.

shotty6301d ago

Enjoy..its a good game, atleast now tallegale nights can be taken out of the system ;)

PS360PCROCKS6301d ago

why thq? This is the stupidest decision they could have done. If they think this is going to sell at all their not very intelligent. GTA is out in October, that's 9 months away, why would anyone buy this game if GTA is out so soon?

Arkham6301d ago (Edited 6301d ago )

Probably because one could finish, replay, and get everything they want out of that game within 9 freakin' months' time. It's not that great of a game.

Jrocks_4_ever6301d ago

Another game coming to ps3 from x360 and I dont see any ps3 fans saying that this is a needed game for playstation. Now if this was the other way around...........i think you guys get the picture...lol

It looks like the tides are turning....but of course x360 fans will ignore that side of the story..........

andy capps6301d ago

More games is always a plus and I'm pretty sure the game will sell well on PS3, but it's just not my type of game anymore. I've just grown tired of GTA style games, and I won't be buying the next GTA either. Now, if/when news comes out about some games for 360 that I'm actually interested in like Mass Effect and Bioshock (this one is already rumored to be PS3 bound), then I'll be happy.

Saints Row - Where it All Began

Saints Row made its debut nearly 20 years ago, and while the game has aged its still worth playing on modern consoles.

banger8854d ago

Back when games had balls. Now they still have balls, but also lipstick and a dress.

kevco3353d ago

Or an angry purple streak in their hair to demonstrate they're a rebel.

SimpleSlave53d ago

And they claimed this place was one of the outhouses for Gamers™ and gamerGate Incels. Pfft! But look at bangerBro99's amazing display of Homo-eroticism. How far we've come.

So proud of you, bud. Now you go grab them balls and have all the fun. 👍

Outstanding!

PhillyDonJawn53d ago

They should remaster the first 2.

1nsomniac53d ago

I think the first one was the best in the series by a long, long way!

Demetrius53d ago

🥲🥲 someone needs to buy this ip and watch dogs, give those franchises a proper treatment sheesh

TheColbertinator53d ago

First 3 games were great. Then 4, Gat out of Hell and the Reboot were flimsy in comparison. Aliens, demons and a weak reboot in terms of intensity made the games forgettable.

Profchaos53d ago (Edited 53d ago )

But even 3 ventured into rediculas territory with zombies and stag. Zombies in 3 to me was just a hey you know what's popular zombies let's do that

TheColbertinator52d ago

The endgame of 3 did get stupid but the game held together at the end. 4 was just annoying all the way through.

Lmao wouldn't touch this mf rip off saints row if it was given to me, lmao I'm good still enjoying the real saints rows 1&2 someone should buy this ip n give it the real proper treatment

Gamingsince1981123d ago

I saw it was free and it still seemed over priced for what it was and didn't bother adding it to my library

RiseNShine123d ago

let the lesson be learnt, any more woke crap games will be sent to die, even more if they destroy a well loved franchise.

BlackOni122d ago

Contrary to your arbitrary argument, this game didn't fail due to "wokeness" lol.

phoenixwing123d ago (Edited 123d ago )

All I remember from this was I saw the news about how you can't make a well endowed female character and most of the settings don't help much with the female face. However they thought it was completely fine to let you make your character a toilet and went to great legnths to get it added. But yeah a dolled up female was out of the question.

HankHill123d ago

Attractive females are offensive in current year.

They are tracking 3.2M PS5 players. They say the Saints Row's PS Plus debut player count fell 23.64% short of the Battlefield 2042 PS Plus debut.

shinoff2183233d ago

I downloaded it to try but I was never much of a Saint row fan to begin with. If they re released the older ones I'd probably try them to.

jeromeface233d ago

its sad we live in an time where people seek out retro software vs playing whats fresh and new

shinoff2183233d ago

Jeromeface that's funny as shit. I've complained tremendously about ff16 and you know what I get told

If you want turn based go play the older ones.

Anyway I play new shit all the time. Had a blast with star ocean 6, tails of arise, ys newest games. But I can do both. Play retro and new stuff. Sad thing is alot of new stuff I find whack atleast alot of the aaa games , I'm not a huge fan of shooters,online games, online shooters and gatcha games and that's alot of the shit shoveled out.

There's still plenty of dope stuff coming out though

Baldurs gate looks good
Yakuza
Ys
Got a dragon quest some year
As much as I bitch about cyberpunk I'm looking forward to that dlc(hope it ain't broke)

It's refreshing to have a mix.

CrimsonWing69232d ago

@jeromeface

Um, that’s because the stuff from the SNES to PS3 era were way better than what we have now.

Publishers/Devs were willing to take risks and it wasn’t all about GaaS or monetization. Games felt like they were made with passion and not afraid to try things. Yea we started the whole DLC trend in 7th gen, but the most a season pass cost back then was $15.

The industry has really shifted and the whole trying to translate the mobile game model to consoles and all this talk about games being too expensive to make like a Baldur’s Gate 3 is depressing.

shinoff2183232d ago

Crimson looks like it's just me and you on that one. Alot of these most be people under 25 or something

TallDarknWavy233d ago

I really liked 3, although part 4 tried to be a superhero game and it was just dumb as shit.
This game is also dumb as shit as the writing is peak poor, there are no jokes that I'm aware of as I never laughed once, and it's glitchy and disorganized AF. The story makes no sense, as it's typical campy "Oh hey we're doing crazy things like killing people etc." but everyone is somehow super chill about the mass murder as if it's nothing. This is common theme amongst today's trash woke writers.

Vengeance1138233d ago

Everyone downloading to see for themselves just how garbage the game actually is, then they'll play a few hours and delete forever lol

dumahim233d ago

I add everything to the library, but I'll never get to it. My Plus sub ends in Dec.

ravens52233d ago

Me too lol. Black Friday is the only chance of me renewing. But I have all the games from when ps5 came out. Soooooo many ps4 games and a bunch of ps3 ps+ games. All soon to be gone cause fuck that $80. I'll just buy what games I want.

InUrFoxHole233d ago

That's one of the best features. Adding to library without having to download it

This is what most people do to even good games, including gamepass. Kind of funny when you think about it.

They're tracking just the ones who downloaded it not kept playing. These are people seeing if it's good.
How about report numbers of people who kept playing.

Saints row reboot was an embarrassment to the franchise and it killed the developer.

Elda233d ago (Edited 233d ago )

I played the entire game of SR & for me the gameplay experience wasn't bad especially for a PS+ game.
