Did you know the story of the Saints Row series was originally written as a trilogy? Developer Volition’s associate producer Dan Sutton has revealed that they are already working on Saints Row 3.

In a recent interview he said that “Saints Row 3 will take a very different direction,” and that that’s why Saints Row 2 wraps up most of the loose-ends left over from the original Saints Row‘s story. To quote: “In Saints Row 2 we tie-up a lot of loose ends. I think we tie it up deliberately. We’ve already started work on Saints Row 3, and we have a new direction we want to go in with that which we of course can’t talk about. We wrap up a lot in this one. There’s no frustration.”

No further details are known about the game, but it’s expected to have a 2010 release on Xbox 360, PS3 and PC. There have been rumors that Dex is the main target in Saints Row 3, that the game will take place in Stilwater once again, and that there will be both old and new customizations, new activities, etc. Publisher THQ’s tentative release schedule reveals Saints Row 3 is planned to arrive sometime after April 1st, 2010.

i think this is sweet but i think Perice should turn on u or something in the middle or maybe the end of SR3 and wind up being like Julis Son and wants revenge or something and starts a New Gang called like the 3rd Street Sinners or something like a chep rip off of the Saints and Donnie eather Joins ur Gang or Perices or starts his on gang and u know the movies saw how they do the whole flash backs to what was happing induring something else well they can do that only from the first game and second game like perice turning on u Dex turning on u and Troy snooping around and stuff it would be sweet lol i typed alot

Sr3 should have gta4 graphics with the sr’s game play that would knock off gta and sr is already better than gta…i think so any body else…

Saints Row needs a graphics overhaul. S.R. should look better than GTA4 and future GTA games should play like S.R. S.R. needs vehicles with some weight though,that’s my biggest gripe and graphics and sound effects. NEED NEW LOCATIONS FOR ALL GAMES DON’T BEAT IT INTO THE GROUND. GRAPHICS NEED TO BE REALISTIC,GAMEPLAY DOES NOT,YOU DON’T HAVE TO SIMULATE REAL LIFE. WATCHING T.V. COMEDY CLUBS STUFF LIKE THAT IS DUMB, STRIPPERS ARE GREAT, HOE BAGS

i like the graphic for saints row but it should expand beyond stillwater. I like the dating of GA4 that maybe be nice to put into the came, or the video game playing just add things other than the mission and side activities.
