THQ announced that all the resources dedicated to the port have been moved to <em>Saint's Row 2</em>, which will come out on the PlayStation 3 as well as the Xbox 360 in 2008. The original <em>Saint's Row </em>came out in 2006 on the Xbox 360 to positive reviews and has gone onto sell an impressive 1.4 million copies.<br /><br />The cancellation will surely upset some people, but I'd rather have a fully developed and polished sequel than a port of a 9 month old game myself. It will give THQ more time to familiarize themselves with the complex architecture of the PS3 and tweak the gameplay of the series. The game was pretty good, but had some technical and gameplay issues (jaw-droppingly dumb storyline aside) that I hope they fix in the sequel.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2007/05/11/saints-row-has-been-cancelled-also-saints-row-2-announced/">Saint's Row has been cancelled - also, Saint's Row 2 announced!</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Fri, 11 May 2007 01:00:00 EST.

The obvious question came up regarding a Wii version of the game and how far along in development it is and like a champ, Brooke implied that a version of the game will be making its way to the console. <br /><br />"<em>I can</em>'<em>t confirm much.

Some of the video's segments look like in-game footage and overall the trailer shows some very inspired artistic styles, so color us interested in <em>Broken Saints: The Game</em>. <br /><br />The video might be considered <strong>NSFW</strong> for a short clip of a naked lady from a distant view, so keep that in mind before clicking on to watch the video embedded in the second half of this post.<br /><br />[Via <a href="http://www.codenamerevolution.com/?p=1446">Codename Revolution</a>]<p><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2006/08/10/broken-saints-trailer-from-comic-con/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Broken Saints trailer from Comic-Con</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2006/08/10/broken-saints-trailer-from-comic-con/">Broken Saints trailer from Comic-Con</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Thu, 10 Aug 2006 09:30:00 EST.
