Features

Saints Row 2 brings true freedom to open-world gaming. Play as who you want, how you want, and with whomever you want in this sequel to the much-acclaimed and tremendously successful Saints Row.
Set years after the original, Stilwater is both familiar and strange. Bring the Saints back as the rightful kings of Stilwater and bringing vengeance to those who wronged you.

Limitless customization: Play as fully customizable characters that are male, female or something in between. Vehicles can be visually customized as well as performance tuned. Cribs and even gangs all have an amazing degree of detailed customization options.
Multiplayer: The co-op full story campaign has seamless integration (for example one player drives while the other shoots). Competitive MP pushes the boundaries of immersion in a living Stillwater environment fully populated with police, innocent bystanders, and rival gangs.
Killer combat, awesome vehicles: Planes, helicopters, motorcycles, boats, and cars can be piloted and used as weapons. On the ground new combat options include melee, fine aim, and human shield.
Freedom to explore: Get ready for more missions, activities, diversions, races, weapons, vehicles, cribs, city districts, and interiors than ever before. More than 40 story missions with additional bonus missions take place in a transformed Stilwater that is over 50% larger than before.

To kickoff their Gamers' Day event being held in downtown San Francisco, THQ today announced the official release date, pre-order campaign plans, and the launch of the official website for Saints Row 2. The game will ship on August 26, 2008 on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 and gamers can pre-order their copy starting tonight (April 3) at 6 PM PST. THQ also announced the launch of the official website for Saints Row 2 along with the release of a new video from someone they're calling "Uncle Gary." Check it out below.http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/864/864405p1.html

Co-Op Hands On impressions are up also - http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/864/864477p1.html

-edit Just got my new EGM in and it has Saints Row 2 on the cover.

I started typing up the whole article but fuck that. They padded the hell out of it to get it to 6 pages.

Here's what it reveals.

- Online co-op has been added and you will be able to drop in on a buddy's game at any point and join the story. They are also adding a new "mission-based, online gang war" to replace deathmatch.
- You can now take an enemy gang member hostage as a human shield, forcing his or her friends to cease fire. You'll lose that sense of safety, though, when you (inevitably) decide to throw your hostage off a roof or into oncoming traffic or through a plate-glass window.
- You can now duel wield single handed weapons ala Halo 2-3
- New weapons include satchel charges, remote-detonated explosives taht stick to whatever surface you want: vehicles, people or stuctures. And a new rocket launcher lets you unleash impromptu airstrikes. You can aim it after firing, allowing you to shoot the rocket straight into the air, then laser-guide it down toward some innocent bystander.
- Retooled A.I for more agressive law enforcement.
- New vehicles from motorcycles to monster trucks.
- Airplanes and helicopters have been added.
- Boats have also been added.
- New minigames include car surfing and testing your nutshot experience.
- Saints Row 2 is still taking place in Stilwater. It has been modified and expanded though.
- New water-locked areas fill out the edges of Stilwater while the appearance of the city has transformed thanks to the story taking place a few years after Saints Row 1.
- You can now your make your character a women or man lady if you really want too.
- "The entire Saints Row district itself is no longer a dilapidated old neighborhood but a gleaming metropolitan area with massive towers and rich people drinking lattes all day long. The game's old headquarters is still there though only cleaned up."
- "Elsewhere in Stillwater, what once was an empty waterfront is now a gentrified marina complex with upscale restaurants and a boardwalk. A section of the old piers is now decrepit, serving as a handy stunt park for watercraft. A newly uncovered sub-city cavern attracts tourist with its rock formations while elsewhere, an underground ruin provides a home for vagrants and a little-know street gang, the Saints, now on the rebound."
- "At the start of Saints Row 2, you wake up in a prison hospitial bed and remember that not only did your boys try to kill you and leave you for dead, but that your balls are floating somewhere in the wayer. You're going to have to choose if you want to be a man of a woman. Needless to say, you're fucking pissed"
- The game is much darker. "This game is about anger and revenge and is much meaner and more sadistic than the first one." But it's also trying not to take itself too serously.

The teaser site for Saints Row 2 is up.

http://www.saintsrow.com/

It seems to be coming some time in 2008 and the series seems to have moved to the west coast according the screenshots.

Even better, it looks like motorcycles and helicopters are finally being added.

I can't wait, Saints Row 1 was a fantastic game and 2 seems to be shaping up to be even more of the same good stuff.

If they're smart they won't release it around GTA IV's release date, I'd expect a Fall/Winter 08 release.

It's probably coming out in late 2008.

Originally, I heard that THQ wanted Saints Row titles to come out every other year, in relation to GTA. (Even though those have never come out every other year...)

I hope the multiplayer isn't broken, from a network stand-point, this time around. I thought the multiplayer, in its essence, was money... to bad I couldn't enjoy it, thanks to mad-lag.

It's about time. saints Row is a such an awesome game. At first I was skeptical but when everything comes together it's just so smooth. The online needs some fixing, though. TKing ruined online for me, plus in Blinged Out Ride there was always the asshole who would take out your car, bring it to the other base, and shoot it. That and the fact that the AK was way too strong.

I just can't wait to see what happens in the game. I hope there's a way that they scan your HD somehow for a Saints Row 1 save and " you" appear atleast once in the game.

The online is really fun and unique, despite the tk/glitching. If you play with a group of friends it's a lot of fun and definitely the funniest online game (blinged out ride especially).

LOTS of people still play online...

I don't think that this game will sell well considering how awesome GTA4 will be. You can tell that Rockstar is taking their time to make it the best they can, but THQ just seems like they want to push it out quickly.

Big ass chains, $$$$er.

Glad to see they are following up, Saint's is easily in my top 5 360 games. I hope this leads to a one-upsmanship battle between GTA and Saints Row.

Is this a 360 exclusive? Or is it coming to the ps3 also?
I'd guess PS3 as well...the first one was scheduled for the PS3 but eventually they decided it wasn't worth the effort.

Saints Row MP sucks.

Agreed. I'm way more excited for SR2. In the end it comes down to fun. SR was simply more fun to play. I spent at least twice as much time plaing SR as I did all of the GTA's combined. And Protect tha Pimp was genious.

I third the "more hyped for this than GTAIV". The original Saints Row was just incredible IMO, and this will undoubtedly be an automatic pick up for me, while GTAIV, I am questioning, as the last GTA game I really played much was 3, which was great, but I don't find GTA more fun than Saints Row in the least.

Hell. Yes. I actually 100% completed Saints Row, something I've never managed with the GTA games. Also, the fact that the police weren't like suicidal carbombers when you got the maximum wanted level meant that you could actually survive and have fun causing crazy mayhem instead of getting run over by tanks.

I'll definitely be getting GTA IV, but this has me way more excited.

It was actually worse after the patch because you couldn't blame everything on lag. You realized there were a ton of other problems. I actually had a lot of fun during the initial laggy times and played well over 400 games online. When I tried to come back later after the patch there were way too many people exploiting glitches (like shooting through certain walls) to make it enjoyable.

Quite honestly, I think they are going to be different experiences. Saint's Row 2 is going to keep the fun, over-the-top gameplay from the first, while GTA 4 is attempting to do something more grounded in reality. I am definitely looking forward to both with very eager anticipation. This is my genre.
Agreed 100%.

A few of the posts in this thread seem to be almost borderline GTA bashing, and I don't get that. The two series are similar in a lot of ways, but different enough that most people will have a clear preference for one or the other. I do get that, and whatever your preference is, cool. For me it's GTA, but I loved the hell out of Saints Row as well, and SR2 is a slam-dunk day one purchase for me.

For me it's GTA, but I loved the hell out of Saints Row as well, and SR2 is a slam-dunk day one purchase for me.

I think part of the reason for the GTA backlash is the way SR was handled in the reviews and the press. Almost every review said it improved on GTA in a lot of ways, but then they knocked it for being more of the same. It has resulted in SR carrying the stigma of being a shameless GTA clone.

For example, IGN's 8.5 review says "But Saints Row, despite its distinct lack of originality, is fun. It starts out fun and it stays fun." Game Informer's 8.8 says "The one area where Saints Row really goes outside of anything that "GTA" has to offer is through its amazingly diverse and highly enthralling online." And perhaps the most telling is the 7.0 on 1UP that offers this gem of a quote "There are a lot of names to throw at a game like Saints Row (http://www.1up.com/do/gameOverview?cId=3141021): rip-off, clone, knockoff...take your pick. Honestly, it probably deserves them all. Everything about it apes Grand Theft Auto to such a degree that we'll never again be able to call anything else a "GTA clone,"... A startling dearth of creativity doesn't in any way actually equate to a bad game -- especially in the case of Saints Row. It's almost painful to say this, but if you can get over the fact that yeah, it's completely shameless, Saints Row is actually a lot of damn fun. "

This is coming from the same places that gave GTA:SA a 9.9, 10.0 and 9.0 respectively. I think that had this game been titled GTA: Stillwater, the reviews would have averaged at least a half point higher. I guess you could just dismiss this, but it's very possible that higher reviews scores and more buzz would have resulted in potentially more DLC or a higher development budget for SR2. I think it's also obvious that the relative success that SR had has driven Rockstar to push the envelope further with GTA IV.

BTW I already have GTA IV preordered.

Same. I'll certainly buy both, but Saints was such a nice upgrade over GTA that they've got a fan for life....or until they make a shitty one. Ye olde days of CAGs in the middle of a Big Ass Chains match was quite entertaining, even with the pretty crappy lag you'd get during games.

It annoyed the shit out of me how reviewers at sites like Gamespot and IGN "artificially" lowered their SR scores so they wouldn't have the stigma of giving a ripoff too good of a score, as if it would hurt their credibility. Yeah, looks like that worked out real well for them.

Yep, me too. That was also the order I liked them in...Crackdown > Saints > GTA: 3/VC/SA. Pretty nice when your "least favorite" is still an amazing game.

---------

I got the EGM today with the GTA4 article. After the article, there was a section where they did quickie previews on GTA clones, including SR2. They made a comment about how (paraphrasing here) GTA - even number 4 - could still learn a few things about creating a good aiming system from SR, and that SR2 would have much improved hand-to-hand combat as well as the ability to use bystanders as human shields.

Also of note, the world will be about "45% bigger," and every area from SR has undergone at least some degree of modification.

There will also be a reward (probably minigame-implemented) for running through the park with no clothes on. Don't ask me. It sounds pretty awesome though.

Actually, thinking about how close the release dates are for this and Mercenaries 2 got me to check the calendar; Mercs 2 is releasing on a Sunday. Weird.

New trailer about activities. They poke a bit of fun at GTA IV.

http://uk.xbox360.ign.com/dor/objects/882586/saints-row-2/videos/saintsrow2_trailer_060408.html

I just watched it and wow a lot of those things look like they will keep me playing the game well after i beat the story. I doubt SR2 will come close to GTA IV's story or characters, but i honestly think ill play it longer than GTA IV after i finish the story.

Streaking? Seriously....??? Some how i doubt it.
Maybe they will have actual naked chicks in the strip club if they actually have streaking.
Throwing people in front of cars looks fun, as well as base jumping.

I loved GTA IV, and while it went for a more realistic approach that was cool, I sort of missed the over the top crazy missions.

Looks like Saint's Row 2 will scratch that itch.

GTAIV is great, but I still prefer the wacky San Andreas & Saints Row over the top game style.

I was looking at EGM's coverage of Gears of War and they showed the GOW2 version of Gridlock....which looked like the same thing as the first but more war torn and gritty. I play GTA IV, and it's great, but it's so damned dark that it actually screws me when I play some missions at night. I really do hope that Saint's Row 2 doesn't do this.

Yes

- Online co-op has been added and you will be able to drop in on a buddy's game at any point and join the story. They are also adding a new "mission-based, online gang war" to replace deathmatch.

I still haven't beat GTAIV, so take my opinion with a grain of salt...but I felt that Saints Row had a lot more fun in it.

The Graphics look great to me. The character models are much better then the 1st one. I like Saint's Row though ( I liked GTA 4 a ton as well ). It's fun is over the top action which is a change up from the realistic GTA.

I agree. I played and loved Saints Row 1, but after playing SR2 for a few hours tonight it feels way more unfinished to me. I've seen cars and pedestrians disappear completely, an extremely inconsistent framerate and even the driving feels TERRIBLE. I actually reloaded Saints Row 1 to check if it was this bad, but I didn't see as many issues. I hope they put some hours into a major title update soon so this gets playable. I don't know about other CAGs, but unfinished games really irk me, especially when I pay full price for a "high profile" title.

I also read quite a few reviews today at work before picking the game up and I didn't see any reference to some of the totally obvious and annoying technical issues that jump right out at you.

Shame, shame.

xcoax

10-15-2008, 05:21 AM

I made it through 11% complete before I forced myself to quit. In my six hour marathon I barely touched the actual missions. I was having too much fun tazering people and stuff. I only experienced one instance of slowdown and I just backed out to the main menu and loaded up again and that worked it out. The only weird thing I noticed in the game was when I parked my taxi on the sidewalk and went into a store when I came back out there was a guy standing in my taxi. I just drove off and he got ran over.

Overall there's typically always going to be some random bugs in a game so vast as this, I personally think the fun I had outweighed any negatives someone can bring up about it. I mean, the only reason I quit playing is I need to be up in three hours.

The game is fun, no doubt. It has to be most enjoyable co-op game I had in a while. However, I agree with you that the game feels unpolished. Pop-ins is worse than in GTAIV. Car pop-ins and disappearances happen too frequently in SR2. It seems Volition increased the character's polygons but reduced them in all other areas. Cars in SR1 looks a lot better and handling better too.

whiptcracker

10-15-2008, 11:11 AM

I like the handling of cars better in SR2 personally. The handbrake is still very touchy, but not as much as it was in SR1.So far I think it's a lot of fun, but I think if they're going to make a Saint's Row 3 they should probably use a different game engine. The pop in doesn't bug me as much as stuff disappearing, getting stuck in other objects, and freezing.

Matt Young

10-15-2008, 08:22 PM

This game is a lot of fun so far (3 and a half hours in). But I can see this being 20 hours or less if I just focus on the missions. It's a lot easier to earn respect during missions so you really don't even have to do many activities. I'm going to force myself to do activities (which I enjoy) so I don't run through the story in less than a week. This game seems about half the length of GTA IV.

Scorch

10-15-2008, 08:25 PM

Fun as hell, but quite a bit rough around the edges. The game is littered with bugs. People disappearing, people not reacting to other people getting killed around them, no reaction from pedestrians when you use the tazer gun on them while they're on a motorcycle, you can't stop and stand still or crouch on a lot of the stairways leading to buildings because you'll slide to the bottom of them like a freakin' slip and slide (you have to run or walk all the way up, can't stop mid-way), there was a ramp on a rooftop I couldn't jump off of because the roadblocks made my car stop (like it was hitting a brick wall), even though I had already tipped them over.. and apparently there's a restaurant called "Kanto" that you are completely untouchable in because I've been killing people in there for a good ten minutes with a four star wanted level and not one cop has stepped inside the building..

But despite it all, it's amazingly fun.

I'll join you in the crazy boat. GTA IV was a good game and all, but they tried to take it way too seriously. I've played SR for around six or seven hours now and I've only done like five or six actual missions because it is so easy to get sidetracked by all the random fun stuff to do.

I think the combat is more satisfying than GTA and I'm a big fan of all the customization options for your character and your vehicles. Yeah, the game and graphics aren't as polished as GTA, but I don't think it will affect my overall enjoyment of the game very much. SR2 seems more forgiving in almost all areas and that is pretty important in games like these.

I'm looking forward to playing more!

Warning to all who haven't yet purchased the game but are planning to: check the game disk before you leave the store.

I was having problems with my game freezing, and it turns out that there was some odd discoloration on the disk and not a programming issue. It appears that this is issue for several people and that something might've happened to a certain percentage of disks during the printing process. Luckily I still had my receipt and was able to get a new unstained copy that doesn't freeze.

So if you notice your game locking up, especially during the insurance fraud mission for the female MD, check your disk.

Now that the game isn't freezing up on me I'm enjoying the hell out of it. Sure it may not have the polish of a game with a 50 million dollar budget, but it makes up for it with all the stuff to do. I've done two story missions and have spent more time just messing around with all of the activities.

Mine seems to have some noticible color differences on the disk but so far I only had it freeze once when joining a co-op game. Does your new copy have a clean even finish or is there still some different colors visible?

New copy has a very slight color difference, but the only way I can see it is holding it up to a light. Previously the marks were really obvious.

Hopefully THQ says something about this since as the publisher it's their responsibility. I'd be pissed off if I was Volition.

We made it through two missions and had some general fooling around time. It's nice that you can revive your co-op partner the way you would any of your other followers, which made the missions seem easier since the only way for you to fail is if both of you get killed or you mess up some objective.

I played a few hours...like 5+ LOL. Man time flys when you are playing this game and you dont want to stop. One thing thats already getting annoying is having to do activities to continue doing the story. Im the kind of person who likes to do the story first and then do side missions after. So having to do some in between the story is a little bit annoying.

I did the UFO and Minibike codes and they said they unlocked, but there not at any of my pads. So how far in the game do i have to go before i can use them???

The mini-bike will be in the garage of any of your cribs. For the UFO you have to have a crib with a heli-pad, which you get early on in the game.

As for the person with the demo derby question, circle around the outside at the beginning, then aim for a couple of cars that are in one area, then hit the nitrous and ram them. Don't forget to upgrade your car between rounds.

Man i just passed the mission Veteran Child. That shit was hard, .....only because it was bogus and the chick would end up dying so fast. I had to play this mission like 10 times. Once i was about to kill him and he just turned and shot the girl till she had like 10% health left. Im like WTF! God im glad that mission is over.

Wow this is fucking shit. Im on a mission where you plant a bomb on a boat and then escape and get out of the red circle before it blows up. Well on my first try i did it, but i fell into the water, and since i wanted to see it blow up, i pressed Y to warp back to land so i could see it. Too bad the fucking computer warped me back into the blow up circle and i failed. Then i tried again and died. My 3rd try it froze so i shut it off.

Plus it seems like sometimes i shoot a guy and he wont die, or i try to shoot the gun but it wont work till i release the trigger and try again.

I think that I may found a glitch in my copy of the game. The mission with Donnie with the Brotherhood every time I get to the first truck they won't let me have the detonater instead I get a Samurai Sword.

Make sure you're far away enough from the truck; ie out of the ring. Then the detonator should appear in your inventory. I made the same mistake at first, thought it was a bug, too.

xcoax

10-18-2008, 05:15 PM

I just defeated the brotherhood gang. Intense stuff, but im loving every minute of this game.

I am kind of disappointed in the clothes/tats. Unless you unlock more later on down the road, but it seems like all the shops have limited stuff as far as clothes go.
The tats are okay, but most of them i wouldnt use. Im pretty pissed that the star tattoo that i had on my characters back calvs in saints row 1 has been removed.

Yep, I was trying out all the gangs out but I've been sucked into the Brotherhood storyline. Haven't finished it yet, but it is actually far more compelling than anything I was expecting.

I too have been kind of disappointed with the clothing options, but I've noticed some incomplete sets of numbers, like the Borat style mankini is women's one piece swimsuit #3 or something like that, and I've yet to see a #2 or #1, so maybe there's more to unlock, or download in the future. I know they came out with a couple of really cool free DLC clothing packs last year, so we can only hope they'll do it again.

I saw some helmets in a store inside a mall. I dont think its listed on the map. You have to go inside the mall and then the stores are listed. Inside the mall is a leather and lace store, costume store, and a few others. Its on the top island. Beware though, i got lost inside it and was only able to escape by death. LOL

Can someone explaine this to me. I have 31 territories, and bought 4 stores. Now it says you get $500 a day from territories and $200 a day from stores. By my calculations i should get $16,300 every day. But whenever i go to my crib, it only says "take out 8,000" out of your safe. Whats the deal?

That's Odd. Have you tried going to the normal hang out? That's usually where i take out my 16,800.

Is it me or is it much easier to get money in this game?

edit: Has Anybody gotten the base jumping thing yet?

Ive only been getting my money from the first house you get. (i pimped it out to the max, thinking that would help, but it doesnt.) I dont even know where it is in the saints row club house. (if there is some.)

I thought that $8,000 was the max you could hold in the safe. I'm pretty sure that was all it would hold in the first game. It accumulates as the day goes on, so you could technically pick it up $8,000 twice daily if you're getting that much.

Also, mall? Where?

Progress through the story, play activites and buy properties you see. The max isn't $8,000. I was picking up $300,000 at a time at one point.

Found the Stores with the Helmets and stuff. It is Indeed in the Mall.

After you kill in the mall for the Sademei mission, Go look around for the clothes stores on your map

Mayhem activities can get REALLY annoying :bomb:

how?? if you have a rocket launcher, or better yet, the C4.. go to town. Seriously, if you plant like 10 or 12 of those and blow them up quick, the combo alone almost guarantees you $100,000 each time.

Mayhem is the easiest activity in the game outside of the Demo Derby.

Find some fences.

Find some fences.

That's the key.

In chinatown, use the food/firework stands.. good stuff. And the gong!

I finished up the hitman, demolition derby, mayhem and helicopter missions today.. fun stuff. I love this game.

Make sure you're far away enough from the truck; ie out of the ring. Then the detonator should appear in your inventory. I made the same mistake at first, thought it was a bug, too.

Thank you. I guess I never got far enough outside of it. Well, at least I should have enough respect points to complete the missions for the rest of the game without having to do anymore activities.

It just that I have been having weird things happen all through out the game like it has froze on me like five times since Thursday. So, I have plenty of respect points Level 39 now because I just started to go around and buy up all the cribs and own all the liquor stores, food, and shops that are available to me at the moment. Also, I completed Fight Club and Fuzz since there are only two sets of these activities in the game.

For those that are worried about how much money you can have in your safe I have had up to $156,000 in it at one time. So, you don't actually have to go get money if you don't won't to.

Find spots within the area that have fences.

Shoot for the fences!

Oh it wasn't the points that was getting me angry, it was all the bullshit ways I kept dying ;)

A cop opened her door and knocked me off a cliff...a cop drove into a gas station behind me and blew me up...I turned to shoot my RPG and there was a homie right behind me and we both died...shit like that.

Luckily I flew threw level 5 and 6 on my first try then.
