Graphics to Match GTA4

Commenting on Saints Row 3′s graphics, Danny Bilson of THQ had this to say.

“Quality. Look at the visual quality of Saint’s Row 2. When you see Saints Row 3, it’s the visual quality of the GTA IV universe. It goes up there. It still has the wacky, insane stuff. It’s going to get really big and really loud in December. And as soon as you see the assets, the gamers will go: ‘Oh, I know what they invested in. The technology.’

The technology is brand new, looks spectacular, still has the fun factor to it – but has all the robust visualisation of any game on the market now. I don’t think it was there before. It succeeded spectacularly in its audacity and its fun factor. Now imagine that in a more robust world with more mechanics, too.

Saints Row 3 Differentiating Itself from GTA

THQ’s Danny Bilson told CVG that Saints Row 3 will try to further set the series apart from Grand Theft Auto.

“We don’t compete with GTA. We’re differentiating even further with GTA with this one. The new Saint’s Row will be less urban – it’s definitely not about ‘gangsta’ anymore at all. And it’s more fun and almost sillier and wackier and weirder than the other one.

I love GTA – especially the last one, which knocked my socks off. That’s almost like a Martin Scorsese cartoon, right? We are more like the Mad Magazine version of that or something. It’s colourful, it’s wild, it’s fun.”

Remember how Saints Row 3 was supposed to be at E3? Well, that didn’t happen. The developers didn’t think it was ready yet. With that said, the plan is now to unveil it at the Spike TV VGAs in December.

Saints Row 3 Is “Mind-Blowing”

As vagueness goes, this would certainly qualify, but Danny Bilson, THQ’s core games VP, had this to say to CVG. “The next Saints Row is mind-blowing. New tech; mind-blowing. I can’t talk about that too much but it’s mind-blowing.”

In case you missed it, it appears that the game will be mind-blowing.

Saints Row 3 is currently under development by Volition to be released by THQ. The game is slated for a fiscal year 2012 release date, which would put it somewhere between April 1, 2011-March 31, 2012. Based on their release list, it will probably be their big holiday 2011 title. The platforms the game will be released on are currently unknown, but they will presumably develop it for the PS3, Xbox 360, and PC.

Saints Row 3 Already in Development

Play.tm recently interviewed associate producer Dan Sutton, who briefly mentioned Saints Row 3.

The last game had a very ‘open’ ending. Can we expect something similar with SR2?

Well, we knew a lot of people were upset with the last one because they were playing it and it was like “oh gosh, I’ve got to wait for the next one”, but in SR2 we tie-up a lot of loose ends. I think we tie it up deliberately. We’ve already started work on Saints Row 3, and we have a new direction we want to go in with that which we of course can’t talk about. We wrap up a lot in this one. There’s no frustration.

So… Saints Row 3 will take a very new direction?

I think so, yes.
