I'll wait to hear how the pc port turns out, if they're even bothering this time.

Not only are they porting to PC, but they're handling it in-house this time.

[Sky]

Ooh. Daddy like.

Anyone play Armageddon yet? If so, how was the port? 

[LK]

They spent a huge amount of money advertising this game at the con. But they had maybe one corridor, non-playable, showing the game in its publisher's booth. Looking forward to seeing this at PAX.

[Nonentity]

You could not be anywhere in the South Hall without hearing the Kanye West-infused Saint's Row 3 trailer.

Game itself was pretty cool looking, though.

Purple Dildo, Boxing gloves that cause people to explode in a shower of gibs, calling in an air strike, and blowing shit up with a tank, all featured here.

Looks like the E3 demo.

[NiX]

Looks like the E3 demo.

It's the same demo, but now it has developer commentary, which is fairly enlightening.

Malakili forgot to mention jets, jumping into car windows, wrestling moves and human cannon trucks with a cat face. This game is going to be awesome and I'm there day 1.

[HaemishM]

That video should not be nearly so amusing as it is.

You forgot to mention the detailed demonstration of the fact that every weapon has a crotch punch animation.

Yea, this is a pre-order for me.

[Malakili]

I don't know if the novelty value is worth a day 1 purchase.  I'll have just as much fun with the shenanigans after 6 months when its 1/2 off on Steam, and as fun as it looks, even the outrageous becomes mundane when you're doing it non stop.  To me that looks less sandbox and more shooting gallery.  Again, fun, but not must have immediately for me.

I  Saints Row. Just the amount of fun the game provides is fantastic. Also, I have another friend who really loves it too, so we coop the whole thing.

I don't know if you've played Saints Row, but they work all of the insanity into the storyline missions and all of the side missions. That Demo makes it seem like every corner is packed with something ridiculous to do, but they clearly set it up so they had everything in a local area to be shown off in a good amount of time.

Friend of mine hasn't played Saints Row 2, so we're going to do that co-op since we're on an old game binge.

I got Saints Row 2 on steam for cheap at some point and played it some, I liked it it quite a bit (at least as much and maybe more than GTA), but it didn't scream "this is worth fulll price" but then again, I almost am never willing to pay full price for a game I'll probably play mainly single player.

I can't argue with that. I think the full value comes from the co-op combined with the fun they pack into the game and is why I'm so willing to drop money on day 1.

Only thing missing is a Nyan Cat.

[NiX]

Just saw it up on Steam for pre-order. Then I came here to post that and watched the video. Sold. Just take my fucking money Volition, I don't need it anymore.

[Trouble]

That's one of the most epic fights I've seen in anything.

"How much shit was in that plane?!?"

[Lakov_Sanite]

"Remember when I caught you before?" 

[Ingmar]

The parachute bit is more or less lifted straight out of NOLF.

[Fordel]

I hope sunglasses man made it!

[01101010]

Might be the first game I buy at full price in a very long ass time.

[NiX]

I hope sunglasses man made it!

Johnny Gat never dies.

[Trippy]

WTF? Is there no Platinum (Collector's) Edition for the PC?

Yes I know the exclusive Platinum Edition items are lame but still: WTF?

[MisterNoisy]

One of the Volition guys posted some tidbits about the PC version on GAF:

Some of the footage we've released has been captured using the PC version. It's coming along really nicely so far and I'm sure we'll talk more about the PC version in the near future. If you're wondering about specs, I'd use RF:A's as a baseline for the "Recommended" at this point.

Also, SR:TT uses a completely different engine than RF:A's Geo-Mod engine. As we've stated before, there's no Geo-Mod in SR:TT.

SR:TT is also on a custom-built, brand new engine compared to SR2, which has overhauled and upgraded basically everything compared to the previous game. This is one of the reasons you can't just import your SR2 character into SR:TT, and also why we're releasing the Initiation Station before the game is released so everyone can get a feel for the new character customization system and begin uploading their creations.

We're using the full Steamworks suite for SR:TT.

Leaked Saint's Row the Third gameplay footage

 

So yea.  Can't wait.

[01101010]

Gotta feeling I am going to go broke this fall... why the fuck does everyone release shit at the same time? 

[Sky]

Pleeease be a good pc port.

[MisterNoisy]

Edit by Trippy: lots of spoilers in the video

Aaaaand I'll just leave this here:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q95d7JJ4Zcw
