You guys should buy this game when it comes out.If you were dissapointed by GTA4,this game will have many of the qualities of San Andreas.Car customs,clothing options,tatoos,and good online really make this a better purchase than GTA4.Just dont expect a good story.

Exactly why I've traded in GTA4, and exactly why I plan on giving Saints Row a chance.

Yeah, the story won't be as good...
... or the physics...
... or the a.i. ...
... or the lighting...
... or the art design...
... or the soundtrack...
... or the voice artists...
... or anything else for that matter.

But at least it will be severely dumbed down so that you won't have to worry about not getting any of the social satire, or requiring cultural capital to understand the numerous references.

Oh, and tattooos. There will be tattoos.

...

Saints Row 2 will be to videogames what Get Rich or Die Tryin' is to cinema.

Your right but unlike GTA4,at least its fun.Besides it isn't all rap.The first Saints Row had radios with classic rock,alternative,classical,and some easy listening.Dont judge a book by its cover.

Hmm. PS3 isn't so complex that Criterion can't manage to program it and do so VERY well.

But I think canceling SR makes sense. It's too old, it wouldn't have sold well anyway.

I think the BioShock port is risky too. Hell, you could get BioShock for PC for $15 last week! So the potential market for BioShock is people who have a PS3 but no 360 or PC and will sport $60 for a 14 month old game?

Shipping SR2 makes more sense, it should do well, in fact, it may out-earn on the PS3 over 360 because of the PS3 success outside the US (like EA's figures last week).

Criterion? I think you mean Volition. Criterion = Burnout Paradise.

{@},

LS2LS7 was talking about Criterion, and how they developed Burnout Paradise brilliantly on the PS3 as the lead development console.

Saints Row 1 is being cancelled, as it wouldn't be viable to release that game now, Saints Row 2 is being developed for both the PS3 and 360 as planned, hope that clears things up.

Its too bad this game will sell like crap. Especially when one considers that Saints Row is not as cool a universe to mess around in as GTA.

At least that's imho.

I think the most important thing about this article is the fact that Sony is now offering more help to third-party devs, and that only spells more success for the PS3.

They're also quite busy at the moment. They're developing Red Faction 3 and the sequel to SR... so they may not have had all the resources to port the 1st game over to PS3.

To be fair, ports can in some ways be harder to produce than a new title. If the original wasn't designed with the future in mind (why should it) then you can end up having to re-write 90% of the core game engine to get it to work well on the new system.

360 ports are slightly easier to do the 360 being multi-core anyway, but say a PS2 port would be 1 core and much more work intensive to convert.

But I have to say, of the games which have been developed on the PS3 as lead console, it does seem to lead to better PS3 games and ironically, better 360 ports.
