New Saints Row 2 Feature

In the wake of GTA IV Gameplayer asks the question whether there is room for both it an Saints Row 2 by detailing some of the features that will diffentiate the two in this big article.

"With the release of Grand Theft Auto IV imminent, it's clear that the paths taken by the two leading urban crime simulators are drifting farther and farther apart. GTA is going down a road of immersion through quasi-realism, whereas Saints Row is following the signs to video game extravagance – pure, unadulterated silliness. "

I'm currently playing GTA4 and to be honest I have no clue why it scored a 10. This game is no where near a ten by a long shot.The graphics are sub-par (look low-res with some mudd on the lens for good measure). The cars handle worst than previous GTA games, the guy can't fist fight for sh!t! I joined the hype train then I crashed and burned. Saints row was a great game hopefully they'll keep the same formula (with a few improvements, of course).

nutjuice6263d ago

I have to agree with you on this one. It's actually making me tired of the sandbox genre.

I'd give it a solid 8.5

wibble6263d ago

I agree. I'm not happy with GTA at all. The pixelation is pretty horrific for a next gen game. I can't help but feel like I'm playing it on a PS2. Then the overall awful blurring effect makes it look like my TV needs a real good cleaning.

I've not seen the XBox version. But from what I hear it's also unusually pixelated considering it's running in 720p and 2xAA.

I'm sure the game play will be quite good when I get into it.

But keep in mind that I'm a PC user that's used to running in 1920x1080p. I guess I'm spoiled. :)

Silverwolf6263d ago

I actually hate that damn muddy look they gave it. It does look like a PS2 game. I don't know what some people are smoking but this is nothing like it's been hype to be. Best liberty city was GTA3 hands down.

You know usually when someone says "you may have missed" it's games that were lesser known, hidden gems, underrated games. These are all super high profile games that sold extremely well.

FPS_D3TH912d ago (Edited 912d ago )

You know the 2000s is 20 years ago too? Maybe, just maybe this wasn’t an article targeted to 30+ gamers? Still says at the very beginning of the title “THE BEST GAMES you may have missed”. Regardless of how well they sold there’s tons of gamers who haven’t touched these older well known games lol.

Welshy912d ago (Edited 912d ago )

It's games you "may have missed", insinuating you were around and gaming in the 2000's and were there to miss them. If it was aimed at everyone else then they missed literally everything, not just the top games.

The original commenter is right, this is a badly written article at best pointless at worst.

Crows90912d ago

Besides only being able to miss it if you were around during that time..if your point stands then this is a horrible list. Tons of better games people may have missed

XxINFERNUSxX912d ago

I would like the original max payne remade in a new engine with ray tracing. 😊

FPS_D3TH912d ago

Remedy games already working on that and I’m so stoked for it

XxINFERNUSxX912d ago

Oh yeah thanks for reminding me I totally forgot they were doing it. Also what the hell happened to Kingpin: Reloaded? On Steam coming soon and nohting from the dev.

MadLad912d ago

Yeah, I was just going to say. It's interesting seeing them back behind the series. Max Payne 3 was amazing, but then Rockstar just sat on the IP.
Well, they sit on virtually anything that isn't GTA and Red Dead now.

porkChop912d ago

What is this list? These are all hugely popular games. I was expecting games like Dark Messiah of Might & Magic, Advent Rising, Arx Fatalis, etc.

FPS_D3TH912d ago

the title didn’t say lesser known titles from the 2000s. This is 20 years ago now lol. Big assumption this list was made for older gamers.

Dirty_Lemons911d ago

That makes me feel so old.

Inverno912d ago

I've only played 3 on that list. Part of me feels bad about how little I used all the consoles I've owned as a kid. One bright side is, there's over 30 years of games to experience for the first time.

Games with Gold is a constant joke. They should really merge it with GamePass.

CrimsonIdol1823d ago

I mean, it IS merged with Game pass. you get game pass you get games with gold.

Monster_Tard1823d ago

No GWG aren't included with Game Pass, unless it's Game Pass Ultimate.

CrimsonIdol1823d ago

Ah my mistake, I have ultimate. But now that you mention it I do remember them getting me with the upsell, seemed a bit silly not to spend the couple bucks extra for Xbox live (and I guess also games with gold).

darthv721823d ago

Dunk Lords has a sort of NBA Jam vibe to it so that might be fun. I like rally racers but much prefer the Sega type (arcade style) over the more realistic ones. So that may be a pass. I already have SR2 on disc so I dont need that one. Juju looks cute in a DKC/Rayman sort of way so that might be worth a try. Overall though... its pretty bland month.

RgR1823d ago

Not sure who the target audience for this month was but it aint me.

DragonWarrior191823d ago

Hmmm well Saints Row 2 is something.

ps3rider1823d ago

Honestly the gold term here was a bad choice .. when it says gold it give impress there is silver and bronze before.

PS+ name is better
