In game saint's row footage

its coming early 2006

running on alpha kits right now

expect a 33% improvment .

No lloading time even goign into buildings .


Look cool like a high end xbox game in high res but on a scale bigger than gta 3 also the lighting effects are great. The muzzle flashes light up the characters and everything around them .

That seriously looks like a Grand Theft Auto clone. The map looks the same, the little weapon Icon, the way you buy cloths and the general feel of the game (even earning money gives you the "you've earned X amount of money" in almost the same font!! This seriously looks like a supped up Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.

One thing I do like is (in the option menu early in the video) you see an MP3 selection. Maybe you can upload your own music?...that would be very cool...I just don't like the GTA clonish feel.

Nice shadowing and lighting, it has a clean rendered look, nice hi-rez textures, and in HD has a nice clarity/view distance (one of this gens big issues). Not bad for a GTA-style game.

Going into buildings with no load time is a nice feature, and the cars seem to take nice damage.

Definately a step beyond this gen in quality and not a bad first effort for a GTA-like game... only problem is the game itself does not interest me at all :| Looks to play well enough though and is definately not a dawg (heck, it has a better feel than the E3 CGI!) and it is on an Alpha kit. So there is potential if the game is fun/long/indepth.

Two issues: framerate got slow inside; also it seemed that the player had some issues controlling the character. Solid control is important. Hopefully that is not neglected.

Wow, the GFX and Physics on this game are great. I love how things explode and the individual pieces can hit you and knock you over, the ragdoll physics on the main character are pretty nice too, and the character model is very smooth.

I love the draw distances too, you can see forever.

My only question is gameplay, robbing stores and racing cars is going to get boring pretty quickly.

Thats the sole reason why I got tired of GTA:SA. I would hope they inject something fresh into this game.....Its probably wishful thinking on my part, since GTA:SA sold like hotcakes.

i love the new homies system

overall its like gta without cops, the graphics are alright better than this gen but nothing omgwtf, the character animations look the same as now, dont knwo if there is a thing as next gen animations

i thought that's what made GTA: SA so much fun, there was so much random shit you could do you didn't even have to play the game, and half the shit was downright hilarious, i.e. going into the police station and finding a giant purple dildo

i can't see this game being nearly as diverse, but it takes a different direction, this game is all about ruling the city, fighting off the other rival gangs, and eventually conquering all the neighbourhoods in the whole city.

Yea it sounds like its gta 3 and then u have racing too . There is pimping , drug trafficing , killing missions , robing and now racing has a part too .

Doesn't sound bad and for the gta fans this will be out most likely before any gta 4 stuff hits the web. I'm hearing april for the release

 

[Titanio]

I can't download the video right now, but is it true that they went back to demonstrating it on alphas because of poorer performance on betas?

The CPU switch had better not bite launch games in the ass.

The guy says something to the affect that they stayed on alpha because they didn't have enough time to port it to beta but when they do they expect the frame rates to go up from what they are now and an increase in detail i believe i heard 30% .

[this is alpha , we have ran it on beta but the frame rate is still slow and its going to be 30% increase imporvement in visual quality and the frame rate will be better when we plug it into beta ]

That is the best i can do listening to the video .

i know heh
but after all the illegal street racing, people killing, and destruction they didnt seem to care too much

well its not finished yet

 

[mckmas8808]

To much like a clone. See GTA has style, flavor even. This game's most important task is getting close to GTA as possible. Then when GTA4 comes out R* will change the way a GTA game should be and this guys will look like last-gen.

just found out that this has online multiplay . Which can really add a new lvl .



I dunno these games aren't my cup of a tea but that sounds pretty cool

Now the Online Multiplay is something to make noise about. This is something GTA should have done with GTA (probably out of scope for a PS2 game). If this games does it and pulls it off well...then I commend the creators.

 

[typoEDR]

The game screams GTA Clone, but it doesn't look too shabby. Looks fun. This game only gives me hope for what Rockstar will cook up next.

 

[_leech_]

GTA clone indeed, wow...

 

[Bad_Boy]

GTA clone indeed, wow...

yeah, i was amazed at how much thats like a next gen gta. even the hud is like an exact copy.

i noticed he said the soundtrack will be hip-hop oriented, i wonder if it will be licenced music like gta. i wouldnt be surprized the way this looks.

rofl, just like in gta when the car is on fire you hop out before it explodes.
anybody see the double staircases gta copied from scarface? lol

man, rockstar is going to have to kick it up a notch to beat this title that looks exactly like their previous ones. only thing i can see that gta has over this game is story/voice acting. they better do something innovative and original next time around.

if rockstar saw this, im sure they would be pissed. an exact copy is an understatement.

 

[macabre]

I think Rockstar should take tehe series to a whole new setting in time and space.
Imagine a future metro f.e , a couple of 100 years from now. They could do some crazy stuff there...

 

[Bad_Boy]

maybe not in the future, i think it would be better if its around things we recognize. maybe some place foriegn though, like back to london or tokyo.
