Saints Row The Third Remastered Brings Dumb Fun to PS4 in May

I haven't played Saints Row the Third since it released wayyyy back on the PS3. I may have to check this out.

Funny how this generation started with a bunch of remasters. Now it's ending with a another bunch of remasters. Gotta make that money before next generation makes remasters more or less irrelevant, I guess.

Ha! Can't wait! I love me some good 4K Saints Row action!

Does look rather good, hope the price is not over the top!

Yes will be picking this up. Love me some Saints Row. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

@Turismo4GT Have to imagine a lot of publishers are thinking about PS5 backwards compatibility now, and they want all their old games on PS4 in time for the PS5 launch. I guess it makes sense!

I found SR 2&3 lots of fun on PS3. Overall i like 2 more than 3. Remasters of either would be great for first timers. For those with multiple plays, like myself, maybe not much interest.

Would much rather had 1 or 2. No need to remaster this.

@Deadlyblack wait till digital foundry gona wreck their remaster. They released saints row 4 remastered which actually was just sweet SFX mode basically and had awful, just terrible frames per second. It was crashing and constantly freezing. Just horrible experience all together. Everyone who are thinking to jump into this, I would wait to see the asking price and analysis first. Otherwise, just buy it on PC. And knowing their past, it's highly likely. Even the trailer showed fps drops.

I love Laura Bailey as female boss.

sweet it's a shame that it's not Saint's row 2 though which is my favourite in the series.

Cool still got a copy on my ps3.i never finished it.definetly buying the ps4 version.word up son

Wait, it didn't come out last year alongside the Switch version? What kind of portal did I fall through? 😅

I loved it but it was way to easy.

@huyi I heard they recently found the source code for Saints Row 2 and are now working on fixing the abysmal PC port so I think we could be getting that one later. I wonder if we'll ever get a port of the original game,or if Xbox back compat will remain the only modern way to play it.

Tempting. Not played this since 2013 on 360. Looking forward to saving Christmas again too.

@Turismo4GT

They never ended though and I'm sure they will continue into next gen with the amount of demand they have

@nhSnork Probably to make Switch and ps4 owners buy both. Why get a straight up port if you have a superior remaster available? Because you didn't know about the latter.

Hard pass

Series peak was Saints Row 1 & 2

Became a joke with this and beyond

@Jayofmaya or, as is common with Switch versions, because the former is a comfortably portable version while on PS4 the long available SR4 itself is among the unfortunate number of games with awkward Remote Play controls. The same factor, in fact, that encourages many to double-dip with the ports of other titles long available in "home console resolution" and superiority (to the point where some conspirologists like to explain belated Switch ports as the publishers hoping to milk the double-dip audience).

Thing is, if you get the PS4 port first, the Switch one comes later to pitch a tangible alternative in regards to one's gaming experience. But vice versa? Unless there's something equally tangible, like the guaranteed stable 60 FPS (which the pixel chase and the growing complexity of games seem to have made an increasingly uncertain prospect in PlayStationland as well, at least on OG/Slim models), can crisper looks alone readily unzip the wallets for another launch price?

@LaJettatura I do know about that mod, but personally, even with it I had huge performance issues. It at least wasn't constantly crashing in me though.

I loved this on the PS3, and remember being quite blown away with the slick graphics and gameplay in that gloriously OTT tutorial action sequence. After the global misery of this year, I could do with something fun like this. Though I'm still tight enough to wait 'til it drops to £20.

@nhSnork Well, I agree with you, whilst other games, even in a case like Ni No Kuni, it may be more tempting to go portability than graphics, even when both released at the same time. I'm not sure it sold as well on Switch, though, so it doesn't always work like that. Especially when you consider that the difference in graphics in this case is plain as day.
