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.

  • it seems like a complete waste of time getting all hype over a video game that they only say is going to be “mind-blowing”, sorry but we’re going to need more than just that.

    saints row 3 for ages

  • Saints Row 3

    Saints Row 3 is the third standalone game in the series and is expected to be released in the 2012 financial year. While nothing of the game’s content has been revealed yet, it will utilise major upgrades that Volition have conducted on their game engine, and will take the series in a “new direction” according to Volition associate producer Dan Sutton in a 2008 interview. He said that “in Saints Row 2 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”. Due to poor financial performance, Volition fired over eighty of its employees which might have contributed to delays in Saints Row 3′s development.

    THQ vice president Danny Bilson revealed that the game would make its debut at E3 2010 in a December 2009 interview, promising it to be “mind-blowing”. At THQ’s fiscal third quarter conference in February 2010, CEO Brian Farrell announced that the game was expected to be released during the 2012 financial year; between April 2011 and April 2012. The marketing process for Saints Row 3 will begin some time in 2010. Saints Row 2′s downloadable content pack Corporate Warfare hints that the game will possibly revolve around the protagonist’s hunt for character Dex Jackson in a city far from the familiar Stilwater setting of the first two games in series.

  • ive been waiting for saints row 3 ever since i beat saints row 2. i want it out this year in 2010 either in may or june all saints rows have been awesome but i dont know about saints row 3 so i want it out in may or june this year

  • Everyones Saying Its coming out in 2010, 2011 or 2012 and there keeping a tight lid on this game so far all i found out is that

    1 – It will not be in Stilwater and there will be a different map
    2- There Getting more options rather than just Gangster stuff
    and 3 ITS MIND BLOWING XD

    My Predictions are that it might come out in 2010 in November (Sr1 and 2 came out upon that month) and i got both for birthday gifts If not in 2010 then early 2011 they should release it by then and get there cash worth before other games fall into compition

  • I liked saints row 1 & 2 a lot.The Gang Styles from saints row 1 were
    better though because of the hip-hop style & Cholo Style.
    When I saw the styles in saints row 2 & It was a big let down.Why this *** ass prettyboy style.It was funny the gang style was called Gangster because thats not gangster. What happed to the hip-hop,cholo gang styles.I did like the mafia look though but call it mobster. Take Gang Styles examples from GTA San Andreas & GTA 4
    like from The Vagos,Ballas,Varrio Los Aztecas,& Grove St.Families
    & those gang bangers from GTA 4. Look at gangs styles from the West
    Coast. I live in LA, California & I don’t see no gang bangers wearing
    that Pretty Boy style, My hispanic friends in gangs dress Cholo
    like in GTA San Andreas & Saints Row 1 they dress just like in the
    movies.My black friends dress just like in in GTA SA & GTA 4. Just like on TV & the movies. The Creators of Saints Row 3 should watch
    TV show’s like Gangland & National Geographic Presents.Just
    bring back the gang styles from Saints Row 1 please. Make pretty boy style optional for people who want there gang style like that.Keep it so you can customize your clothes & chose gang styles just like saints row 2, just add Original Gangster & Hip-Hop to the list. For the new city in Saints Row 3 it should be cross between LA & NY.

  • OK First of all we need the city to be a combination of L.A & N.Y!

    *Donnie will join the 3rd Street Saints right when the protagonist, Johnny Gat, Shaundi, and Pierce, take off to the airport to kill Dex after he fled the city and telling the boss that he will spy on another gang for him in favor of Lin, he is also Mr.Wong’s Nephew.

    *(By the way they need to make a shorter name like STS for SainTS)(No Disrespect to SanToS-X3 in the 661).

    *Benjamin King stopped gang banging and wrote a autobiography and might return in SR3.

    *Luz Avalos got left behind by Orejuela to sell drugs to any loyal buyers that still want product from the Carnales and or Columbians.
    She also does a chop shop for Manuel hoping he comes back.She could
    possibly be in SR3 and in an more intiment relationship with Manuel.

    *Manuel Orejuela is happy that the Main Character is awake and start a business relationship with him/her which could imply that Orejuela will be returning in Saints Row 3.

    I Agree with alot of the ideas on here especially the city the size of San Andreas which that will be able to have more gangs like 8 street gangs, 2 mc gangs, and 2 mafias!

    *Two Black gangs one based on Bloods/Crips and the other based on Gangster Desciples/Sex Money Murders!

    *Two Hispanic gangs one based on Surenos/Nortenos and the other ones
    Latin Kings/Trinitarios!One of the Hispanic gangs is the Columbians
    and still dress cholo!

    *Two Asian gangs one based on Asian Boyz/Tiny Raskal Gang and the other is based on Wah Ching/Vietnamese Boyz!

    *Two White gangs one based on Nazi Lowriders and the other one based on Almighty Saints!

    *Two Bikergangs they let in any race, one is classic chopper stlyle mc gang based on Hells Angels/Mongols and one is based on a street bike mc gang like from the major motion film Torque!

    *Two Mafias one is Italian Mob and the other is Russian Mob!

    *Have an Underground Hip-Hop Radio Station with artists like Jedi Mind Tricks, Immortal Technique, OuterSpace, Snak The Ripper, Dialated Peoples,ect.

    *Have an classic Hip-Hop Station with 2pac, Biggie, Wu Tang Clan, Snoop Dogg, Nas, Big Pun, Gang Starr, Big L, Jay-Z, Ect.

    *WE NEED REALISTIC GRAPHICS FOR SR3!!!!!!!JUST LIKE GTA 4!!!!!
    SR2 was too cartoony who cares about over the top. People want a realistic gangster game!

    *Way More Customization for clothes, cars, cribs, and your gang!
    You can customize your gang to look like your gang members from
    SR1 but more defined!They Call it Orginal Gangster Style!

    *Way Baggier Clothes like from SR1, GTA SA, and GTA 4!

  • SAINTS ROW 3 NEWS UPDATE

    E3 2010: SAINTS ROW 3 SKIPS E3 TO “REBUILD TECH”.

    Saints Row 3 has skipped this year’s E3 in order to spend another year “rebuilding the technology,” THQ’s revealed.

    Speaking at an E3 analyst meeting last night, THQ core games VP, Danny Bilson revealed that the company’s set to show Saints Row 3 for the firs time at the Spike TV awards in December.

    He said: “I’m not going to show it to you today. This is the only room we’re talking about Saints Row 3. We’re not showing it on the floor because the rollout starts in December on Saints Row 3.

    “We’ve spent an extra year rebuilding the technology for this game. It is absolutely gorgeous and still completely insane.”

    Bilson went on to reveal “the most robust transmedia play on any game ever done,” including plans to release a Saints Row movie.

    “We’re also going to have a collectible card game, we’re going to have books, we’re going to have mechandise – we’re going to build this thing out into the biggest transmedia blowout ever seen,” he said at the meeting.

    “Most of these deals are already in place. I believe we’re going to announce this at the Spike awards in December.

    “It’s really, really exciting what’s going on with Saint’s Row and when we launch this it’s really going to turn heads to what we’ve done with this brand,” he said. “Saints Row is going to be a monster for us.”

    THQ announced a Nintendo 3DS version of Saints Row yesterday.

  • fo’ shizzle

  • yes! and a stoned Pirate gang too!haha all new vehicles- better damage effects and weopons

  • Definitely have the Mafia & Yakuza. But it’d be cool to make different gangs, with different “gimmicks”. Indians, Scotsmen, rednecks, fags, bikers, clowns, midgets, a little bit of everything. Not every gang has to be badass.. it’d be neat to have some wimpy “gangs” that are pretyt much whipping boys (like a gang of Emo’s who run away from fights and cry). Don’t be afraid of humor. Make it FUN!!! That’s where I think GTA4 fell a little flat.. it didn’t have that same humor factor Vice City had.

  • Everyone keeps saying that SR3 is going to be set in a new city. Uhm how can you call it Saint Row and be no where near Saints Row? It would be amazing if they added a new city, across a bridge. Change Stillwater like they did for the second one but keep Saints Row.

  • A lot of the people getting up in arms here seem to be terrified of the mere notion of their games having the slightest trace of a sense of humor.

    Cripes people, calm down. If it’s fun, it’s fun. If I still get to create the mayhem in SR3 that I can in SR2, I’m happy. There’s too many games that try to be serious, gritty, and realistic now – the sheer balls-to-the-wall insanity of some of the stuff in SR2 really broke up the monotony of the current state of game design.

  • its 2011, not 2012…

  • If you want realism, PLAY GTA! Realism is what’s killing the GTA series now…

  • what about the size of Just Cause 2??

  • sr2 was good i finally beat it so now i know the whole story line so i’m waiting for the next game to blow my head of like pop rocks and coca cola.
