THQ give us two screenshots of Saints Row, showing the evolution of the main character's garage during the game. Saints Row is still planned to hit shelves this fall.
The pictures should be the other way around, he takes in the shitty brown saloon and upgrades it to a cool looking convertible with a hood scoop and FLAAAAAAAAAAAME
Yeah.. I'm tired of all the GTA style games by now, and personally I think this looks a little bland plastic and clichéd, but fans of the free roaming genre will probably love it to bits.
The lighting conditions don't show off the very nice looking environment mapping and specular highlighting of the cars. Plus I think that coat and those trousers have physics on them.
I just kind of feel sorry for the developers. It's like they played a bit of GTA, watched bully, saw maybe the theatrica trailer for Don't Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood, then made a video game.
I just love it when peeps don't bother to follow the development of a game, but show up to trash it all the same.
Here is a little behind the scenes video diary entitled, Game Vision: Behind the Scenes, to give everyone a much better idea of what's up. Eurogamer (low-res stream) IGN (hi-res download)
By all means, if you get the chance, download the hi-res version from IGN. It's well worth the DL.
Also, here is a link to a short, but informative developer diary. Very informative and well worth the read.
Now that you have viewed the video and read the diary, feel free to trash the game all you like. If it turns out to be any good, and considering the developer and their pedigree of games, this is very likely, then I'll be picking up my copy of Saint's Row upon release, whether everyone here trashes it or not.
First want to try to the demo, perhaps if it turns out good, I'm gonna buy it. Otherwise I just have to wait for Grand Theft Auto IV, but that's so far away...
