Saints Row the Third's PC version is not a port

I'm actually glad because Saint's Row 2 was super fun, but it just ran like absolute garbage. SR2 was definetly more fun and had more things to do over GTA 4 for sure... definetly going to get Saint's Row 3 when it comes out (well I wanna try the demo first to make sure it does run and volition isn't just yanking our chains).

ehhh im kinda disapointed in volition over this game, looks like a gigantic step back from the new red factions.

Saints Row 2 was better than either of the new Red Faction games. I don't get your point.

I might buy it if it's cheap then.

As one of my clever friend's pointed out -- there are no PC ports, you don't code xbox games on an xbox, do you ? Everything is coded on a PC, always

I still haven't forgiven them for not fixing the driving in Saint's Row 2 but I will give their game a chance

/ps

Saint's Row 2 could easily have dominated GTA IV if they hadn't been so lazy

Which is great news. SR2 on the other hand is the worst port I can think of, in all my history of gaming.skrat_01

Then you've never played GTA IV i presume?

Just make the car control better and the game will be perfect.

Ummm no. Does that mean all cell phone apps are really PC apps too?

Written for the PC from the ground up means taking advantage of larger memory, more powerful GPU's and built with a KB/M in mind.

Written for the Console means making it work on less memory, different architectures (like the PS3 SPU's), streaming and built with a gamepad in mind.

It has absolutely nothing to do with what system the game is develooped on.

Decent at best

Great Work, not like the lazy asses at Rockstar

ya always been a fan of gta seriers.... SR1 didn't like as much as SR2 and my only complaint was how much of a console game it was on the pc ... if sr3 pc version isn't going to be a port i will probablty buy it(depending on when/what else is released)

Excellent news like this will make me get that version instead.

ill buy it day one if its a good port

DX11 would be nice aswell

i loved saints row 2 on 360, very fun game, better then GTA4

This gives me a really good feeling about this game. I hope it turns out epic.

This brings up a question is saints row 2 worth picking up on steam. I played it alittle bit on the xbox 360 but that was only rental and I didn't quite have the pc I have now back then. Which runs GTA4 quite well at almost all high settings.

I'm actually glad because Saint's Row 2 was super fun, but it just ran like absolute garbage. SR2 was definetly more fun and had more things to do over GTA 4 for sure... definetly going to get Saint's Row 3 when it comes out (well I wanna try the demo first to make sure it does run and volition isn't just yanking our chains).

Good writing Sir, I salute you!

Speaking of which, I still have to finish Saints Row 2!

If the games menus are anything like the menu from the character creator demo, its UI is most definately a console port.

Some of the derpiest things in existence are being written in this thread.

Say what you will, but it's rare to have an open world action game that well designed and executed (despite its faults).skrat_01

Huh?! GTAIV was quite good by comparison.

Not only is the performance horrible, but SR2 doesn't even run at the right speed. For me, everything was happening like 50% faster than normal.. I don't think I've ever seen such a horrible port.

In your little rant there PC is the bedroom, not the father (you even say "it is the space in which games are born"). Porting isn't simply "copy/paste" onto another system, porting refers to the system it was built FOR. And most "console" games are developed and optimised to run on consoles. That's like saying if you make an F1 car out in a forest it will be an excellent off-road vehicle.

5 months ago i was more hyped about this game then i am now.... between the "40 weeks of dlcs" planned before the game was even completed(if histroy is anything they cut original content to sell it to us)(they didn't start the DLC planning AFTER completion)... the lack of "PC info in the comming weeks" they promissed back in may it's now 3 weeks from release day and the only "pc info" is a singlepicture and them saying "we told you it's not a port" ... with SR2 bitter taste in the mouth i think PC users desvere more then a picture...they want us to trust them... but have done nothing to us PC users to make us trust them.... give us a horrid PC port... (fanboys blame it on CD PROJECT all you want but THQ(volitions masters) had final say ... they APPROVED it ... THEY released it ... personally i'm shelving my hype on this one for a CE/SE/GOTYED. with all the DLCs included... to me they don't seem very good at keeping their word....

***EDIT i've been gaming a long time.... with out a doubt in my mind.... this is the most WHORED OUT game i have come across in my lifetime of gaming(selling RL/In game items).... to be totally honest to the point where if it were just in game... i would think they were making a funny statement in line with the humor of the series...but because they are seriously doing it ... it's more of a sad sellout...
