4 New Saints Row 2 Screens

4 New Saints Row 2 Screens
Written Thursday, February 14, 2008 by Dan Webb

You can shout GTA wannabe all you like, but let's be honest, Saints Row was a damn good game and the upcoming sequel looks to be shaping up to leave that bad boy in its shadow. Check out the 4 new screens in our gallery here or you can just scroll down a little.

Looks pretty sweet. My only concern is that after April 29 (When GTA4 is out) that many people will either put this game on the backburner or forget about it completely... I might still pick it up...

GTA will ALWAYS be better but Saints row has it's own greatness too and i am looking forward too this game along with GTA IV .. and especially how the end of the first Saints Row ended .... thanks for the update

Saints row was a top title and lets hope this can be evn better. We should be glad we have two excellent games in this genre, well, I am.

To be honest. I hate gates like this. And the reason I hate them is because of the GTA series. For some reason those games were just no fun to play. And for some other reason, Saints Row kept my attention long enough to actually play through the entire story. Not only that, but I ended up liking it so much that I did all the side missions, tag locations, cd locations, and other stuff. Personally, Saints Row is way better than GTA.

They look great, but I wouldn't say better than GTA 4. GTA has a gritty realism about it, which doesn't come through on these pictures - plus looking at these, my bell doesn't have pre-cum on it... ;)

No doubt SR2 will be a great game though - certainly looking forward to it, but it's not a day-off-work like GTA is.

"GTA no fun to play"
You're definitely in a minority group when you say that mate, what didn't you like about GTA - it's interesting that you liked SR, but not GTA?

this game is a must buy but as everyone knows gta 4 will be better

For me the previous GTA (san andreas) lacked creativity compared to Vice City. to much boring open space and overall level design whas very generic.

Saints row whas better in that aspect, keeping the city small but packed with activity. The one thing that makes GTA stand apart from the crowd is its fantastic sense of humor, something all the other sand box games try to copy but none have mastered it like rock star.

all in all i cant wait for both of them :)

I don't get why people have to be such fanboys and only like one or the other. why can't people enjoy the Row AND GTA? Personally I'll play them both, like most of the people that say they hate one or the other

Why would they release these game within a 6-8 months of GTA IV?

GTA is Sick, Saints Row is sick, im getting both, it doesnt matter when there released everyone will still buy them both, if they were released on the same day id buy them both.

I gotta say im really looking forward to this game. It sucks that its not coming out this year, but still that cool cause im gonna be hooked on GTA IV like crazy anyway...lol. Im a fan any of the games like this just because of the sence of freedom to do whatever you want. I think PhatElvisOfPain made a good point, I too dont see why people dont like both.

If they can make the multiplayer half decent in this one I'll definately go out and get it.

if it has a great variation in vehicles, and character stats then this'll easily match gta4.

The game looks amazing a must have. I love the gta series like most of us do. but i am excited about the drop in co op. It gta doesnt deliver that feature. it will push saints row 2 onward. cant wait!

Saints Row was the next gen version of GTA that we didn't have yet. That's what made it so great. It's gonna be tough to decide which is better.

Comment #29 by Parkerktm

Yea I think I'm gettting GTA IV before this, but whats the release date, estimated release date? Anyone Know?

Saints Row 2 isnt coming out until The 1st Quarter of 2009 so between January and April it will be coming out next year so i wouldn't say that GTAIV and Saints Row 2 will be having any competition.

Hopefully they won't make the same mistake with the Ranked achievements. In fact, I'd rather they did a COD4 and made them all offline IF they can't sort out the lag compared to the last one.

GTA IV is going to be much better..i still will pick this up though when the price drops...and it probably won't take long because of GTA IV.

Thursday, February 14, 2008 @ 10:50:23 PM

damn, it looks 75% better than the first.....

let's hope it makes it up more than a clone (eventhough it is)

Thursday, February 14, 2008 @ 11:05:36 PM

hansen578, that is not true. It is very likely that it will come out in 2008. Anyways, I can't wait until it comes out. I'm going to buy both GTA IV and Saint's Row 2.

I've only played Saints Row briefly at a friend's house and I loved it... but GTA4 will be my choice... I will definitely maybe rent Saints Row 2

It looks exactly the same as the original to me, except with jail. I love jail in games.

Comment #46 by BackerMan
Friday, February 15, 2008 @ 07:36:16 AM

Cool, can't wait to pick this game and GTA IV too. I like Saints Row because of the graphic and you can create your own character.

Comment #47 by InFlames
Friday, February 15, 2008 @ 09:44:42 AM

I will get Žem both!

Comment #48 by Asholay
Friday, February 15, 2008 @ 10:18:33 AM

Yeah - the jail is a great setting - I just hope that it's nice & atmospheric... It's all good having places like that, but it needs to be immersive enough to make you believe them, rather than just a texture to look at as you go through the motions.

Comment #49 by TheUltimateRush
Friday, February 15, 2008 @ 11:28:02 AM

To be honest though the graphics are quite amazing but if it could just get to GTA standards in terms of gameplay then maybe we a game that will smash the charts this year

Comment #50 by vgcollateral
Friday, February 15, 2008 @ 12:43:12 PM

everyone who says they will get GTA and not saints row is talking shit. you will buy both because they are both great and its not out for another decade anyway so theres plenty of time

GTA was a good escape for me to run around and blow things up for a couple hours before getting bored. I thought SR was going to be the same way but I got hooked on how the story was going to progress. SR2 is a definate get for me. Dunno about GTA4 though, its a definate rent for my taste. If I like the story i'll end up buying it.

Downloadable content - achievements or no achievements - will you buy it with or without them?

No achievements, no sale ... and that goes for any game ... whether you're GTA or Halo!
Just stop with the DLC achievements full stop ... you're ruining my completion percentage dammit!
