First Saint's Row Review
- Thread starter expletive
- Start date
only payed the demo so far but the machanics of shooting are by far, better than any GTA game to date... is it perfect technically? far from it but it still looks pretty good for what it does.
Saints Row demo was unplayable for me due to huge amounts of tearing on my hdtv. If the released game is the same, I won't even consider buying it.
I got a console to play "worry-free" games. If they're not, I should just get back on playing pc games and worrying about the next hardware upgrades.
Prey was like that too, tearing & framerate drops -> No buy.
It may be ineffective but it's the only kind of pressure they'll understand.

never noticed it but maybe once or twice on my HDTV (demo)
The final version got a much better framerate (actually keeps itself around 25-30ish until you start getting like 10-20 gang members chasing you and shooting at you.
Wanna know how they fixed the framerate? Instead of the 4x AA that was in the demo, we now got 2x aa.

This is a great game, just like GTA but alot funner across the board.
The hitman missions are pretty cool, basicalyl you get a list of guys and their general location, but they don't show up on Radar until you're about a block away, making you hunt them down.
I completed the first set of hits, and got a Platinum SMG which respawns at my house with around 400 bullets. Just started on the second list, but the last guy, has location 'Unknown" which means he can be anywhere in the entire city! This is gonna be tough...

By "with warning that it will affect framerate" I take it they mean they are doing vsync without triple buffering. Oh well, seems one should be able to turn the console down to 480p and enable vsync to get fairly smooth framerate, though it seems a bit screwy to have to do such things in this supposeed 'era of HD'.

Besides, so much for "making the X360 a real console and not a glorified PC" kind of politics MS uses.. Not KB and mouse support to try to make the X360 a real console and not a PC (whatever that means), then accept this kind of options which just scream PC.
Oh how i miss the old days when you get what everyone else gets, where slowdown or pop-up would occur in the same place at the same time for everyone from Japan to Brazil...

Thank God for this update,esp. the v-sync option.The frame rate only drops really slightly when you are in a car(i didn't notice any drop when walking/running) and it is definately worth it since it doesn't affect the gameplay and the game looks fantastic with V-sync enabled.

does anybody know if saint's row has an online mode that let's you run around the whole city with a bunch of people and just basically wreak havoc?
