das Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 Hello Eveyone, I am going to start the arguement saints row 2 will change gaming forever with superior gameplay, story lines and push the limits for sandbox games that change gaming for the next decade. The Original saints row was highly underrated with a superb story, a quality aiming system and interesting and good mini-games. Of the new features in the new sequal, It looks like it could change gaming forever. Here is a blurb of confirmed diversions doesnt include the minigames. These diversions include 35 'barnstorming' missions, 50 CDs to buy from music stores, 32 secret areas within the city to find, 80 stunt jumps, and 50 areas that you can tag up with paint cans. You can also drive an ambulance to save victims, put out fires as a fireman, pimp yourself out as a [bleep], tow vehicles for cash, and drive a taxicab. Not content to stop there, you can also perform drive-bys, flash people (trench coat and all), robbery, mugging, poker, racing, streaking, and even play a game called "Zombie Uprising" on your game console in your safe house." Flamethrowers, Shock Paddles, Stealing waste disposal trucks and flinging poo with a great storyline. I cant wait. :P "Any people anywhere, being inclined and having the power, have the right to rise up, and shake off the existing government, and form a new one that suits them better. This is a most valuable - a most sacred right - a right, which we hope and believe, is to liberate the world."Abraham Lincoln Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichieMcD Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 Sounds like a slightly better version of GTA : SA, many of essentially the same features were in it, this just sounds more glorified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henman888 Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 Looks like a great game but i don't think it will change gaming... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faux Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 The original game had better multiplayer than that overrated pile of crap called GTAIV (i own both games) The only problem Saints Row had was that it looked like a pile of crap. Looks like they fixed it though. :: Guess the Movie Contest Champion: pfilc23 :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swordhand20 Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Its just a better sequel, it in no way changes gaming in any possible way, and will probably be overlooked by most people since they probably already have GTA4 so wont want to get it.

evil_mumm_ra Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 i've been excited about this game since i heard about it, i fully enjoyed the first one, and you had me at flash people (trench coat and all) and flinging poo with a great storyline also, i'm glad that this will have the things that gta4 is missing, mainly the ambulance/fire truck missions and the like. if saints row 2 has a forklift that i can lift the tines on, so i can flip cars, i'll be happy. i was soooo pissed when i found a forklift in gta4 and i couldn't do anything with the tines. i think it was gta:sa that you could move the tines on forklifts. i could drive around for hours coming up to people at stop lights and lifting them up and carrying them to a cliff and dropping them, or flipping them on the spot, or dropping on another car, or dropping on people. you get what i mean. now if only i could do this with the forklifts at work...

das Posted September 17, 2008 Author Share Posted September 17, 2008 I think its far from being a GTA Clone, it's sandbox, the similarities honestly stop there. You are in charge of a gang and can have Co-op buddies play the game with you and do the mission or recruit cpu homies with actual AI. The fact is in GTA you cannot run a business. The Story in saints row is much better and actually has a very good plot. It's a far superior game to GTA. Asides. GTA doesnt have a zombie minigame thats in a different fully 3d map that is a game in itself.

Swordhand20 Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Im just saying that because so many people already have GTA4 they wont want another sandbox gang/mafia crime game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evil_mumm_ra Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 i want it, i have gta4 and i haven't even beaten it yet, although i'm pretty close. it's like gta, but different, i like variety in my games, just like all the rpg games, same thing rehashed differently with a different plot and title, and people buy loads of those, myself included.

fatbill Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Phh, nearly every game says it will change the face of gaming. Just another way of hypeing the product.

krisc6 Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 We live in a post GTA world.The way i see saints row is the first endeavour into next gen crime sandbox and we loved it because we thought that this couldnt get any better.Well GTA4 pretty much took back the genre on release.Saints Row captured the GTA players mindshare because people saw it as a "clone". However the first screenshots, videos etc for saints row 2 was awful.Why am i watching trailer trash beat up a hobo and why does it look worse than saints row 2?yeah the PR was dismal.The blurb you qouted isnt an epiphany for gaming, it dopes sound like san andreas with paint tags, heck it actually sounds more like the tony hawk underground games. Its nice to see an open world game which has some comedic elements, GTA4 took a more serious tone and i like it for it and its nice to see saints row 2 try and fill a niche, but its not going to change gaming.

Vidi Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 It's going to be good, it's going to be what GTA IV should of been. But it's not going to change gaming, I think you're over-hyping this game a tad too much. Alot of the features you noted with in GTA:SA. Oh wow, it has some 3d arcade game you play in the game, I don't care if I'm honest, I'm not buying the game for that. It has alot of cool little mini-games (like flashing, drive bys, etc etc) yea, but nothing truely amazing. I will enjoy the co-op alot though, really wish GTA had that. As for GTAIV, it's a great game on it's own, very well made, very well thought out (belive it or not) and has great gameplay and the online is pretty good. But it's not a real GTA, GTA's are about blowing crap up, killing people with chainsaws, crazy stunts and just damn right crazy stuff, the realistic route with Rockstar took wasn't really what the fans were looking for. SR2 is going to have alot of the features old GTA's had, but I'm not hyped over it like I was with GTAIV (Was slightly disapointed with the result, but I still find it fun online). But never the less, roll on release day, should keep me occupied till one of the most expensive months in gaming this year, November!

Lenticular_J Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Grand theft auto. It's not going to change gaming. It's grand theft auto, only less gritty. That's what grand theft auto started out as, but now they're leaning towards actual storylines and in-depth characters. I played saints row one, and it was a fun game, particularly for multiplayer, but it's just another in the growing sandbox games. catch it now so you can like it before it went so mainstream Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah he lives in a world where the people sat next to you cant play the game.I have to say that GTA did a way better job with the multiplayer than saints row did...but GTA's multiplayer community died waaaayyy quicker than saints rows did.

stevepole Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 The only thing that's really going to change the world of gaming is something brand new, which saint row isn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenticular_J Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 The thing that sucks about this age is how difficult it is to make something marketable and brand new. Because there are games that are just out there. But they are hardly marketed, hardly bought, and hardly found. You have to really find the middle ground, or else have a gimmick that basically brain[bleep]s people into buying it and starting a new genre. I miss when you could make a wheel and be famous. catch it now so you can like it before it went so mainstream Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichieMcD Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 Just saw a gameplay video of this, it actually does look much better than I suspected it would, who knows.......it might even put up a bit of competition to GTA4 Gameply Vid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
