First of all, Saints Row: The Third is better than any GTA game. And it isn't just some poor man's clone. It's very different, just in the same genre. As for the performance, I saw this coming a mile away. The Switch just isn't powerful enough to run DirectX 11 games as my 2010 gaming laptop couldn't even run this on highest settings. This is also just a port so the publisher isn't going to dump a dumb amount of money into the game to get it running perfect. Patches can fix this up a bit later.Cooperative gameplay is "drop-in and drop-out" such that players can come and go [7] with their individual game progress saved for later single-player play. [8] Both the online and offline modes require a paid online pass. [15] The first menu invites players to try “Whored Mode.” The “Sex Appeal” slider on the create-a-character menu inflates the female character’s breasts and the male character’s penis. There’s a dildo bat. Good, Owen (July 22, 2013). "Saints Row's Canceled Expansion Resurrected as DLC". Kotaku. Archived from the original on February 7, 2014 . Retrieved May 18, 2014. New PaintI do wish Saints Row 3 had more going on in the remaster department. The fresh coat of paint slathered over the top of Steelport honestly isn’t all that attractive. I played on PC, and even on Ultra settings it didn’t really inspire any awe. Yes, you can tell that the car models have been redone, the character models have been touched up, and the daytime lighting is better in general, but it doesn’t look anywhere near as good as something made in 2020 – and a good remaster should at least be plausible as a modern game. Rain looks especially bad, and one area where Saints 3 hasn’t held up well is seeing the same male and female grunts shooting at you hundreds of times.

Second, the line "While no one expected it – and we dare say that no one asked for it" is just unbelievably poor writing and reasoning. Your opinion instantly loses all value and credibility when you make such a preposterously inane comment like "no one asked for it". It has no critical value whatsoever, is entirely meaningless in and of itself and serves as an attempt to make some form of misguided slight about it being unwanted. No one asked for the Nintendo Switch. No one asked Nintendo to make an open world Zelda game. No one asked for Super Mario Odyssey. No one asked for Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle. Hell, no one asked for the original Mario Bros. No one asked for virtually every great franchise that exists today and yet very few would regret that they exist. If it's meant as a slight to indicate something is unwanted, it fails wholly because the games industry "asking" for something doesn't in any way, shape or form indicate whether or not something is great.

The development team also pre-visualized rough drafts to sketch ideas for others to advance. For example, the introductory airplane level was pre-visualized two years prior to its creation as a demonstration for the development team and publisher. [22] Levels were built in a world editor by Volition's Core Technology Group (CTG), which was continually built in the four years preceding release. [32] Like the other two titles, Saints Row: The Third uses Havok's physics middleware with customizations. which let the team build vehicle drifting physics and the VTOL aircraft. [33] The studio considered the Red Faction series' Geo-Mod 2 engine but chose against it due to the implementation's difficulty and not wanting that degree of destruction. [34] Phillips gave a game development postmortem at the 2012 Game Developers Conference, where he advised studios to let development team members run with their ideas. [18] [35] Volition began to add modding support to the title and series in mid 2013. [36] Audio [ edit ] a b CVG Australia Staff (August 21, 2011).
