GTA 4 could posiibly be outshined by Saints Row. However the real wildcard is A.P.B. (All Points Bulletin). This game is from the creator of the Grand theft Auto series and is respoonsible for the surprise hit in Crackdown.

This game is quite ambitios. For one it is a MMO for the 360/PC. It allows people to take the rolls of being the cops or the bad guys. Also the concept art in the game is amazing. If the game translate into those type of characteres with unlimited amounts of custimization you are talking about one amazing game. You will be able to have multiple factions in terms of gangs or mobs. I think it also applies for the law enforcement. Also it will be in multiple cities.

Check out the website: http://www.apb.com/ also check the early concept trailer: http://games.teamxbox.com/xbox-360/1253/All-Points-Bulletin/

Agreed. All 3 games look to deliver, especially since Saints Row was a very solid game.

IDK. I am going to assume more than likely, but I think I might be willing to do it.

I'd be really hard-pressed to pay for it. If we're talking an extra five bucks a month, I could perhaps be persuaded. But if it's 15 a month, then count me out. Tis silly to pay that much, in my opinion, for one game.

True if I do it, it will be for one month.

GTA will likely outshine those two games simply because of the time and effort going into making the game. The new saint's row will be the second next gen saints row game (that one released in 2006), while there hasn't been a true, completely original GTA game since San Andreas (2004).

As for APB, I heard of it but forgot about it until you just mentioned it. It is ambitious so it will likely have mixed results. Even if it is the better game overall (which is doubtful), I doubt it will get nearly the amount of attention.

The writing in Saint's Row is nowhere near as good as it has been in GTA. It might give it a run graphically. But GTA will be the better product overall. GTA is a good mix of crime drama and black comedy. SR tried but came up dry. Especially with the radio stations. GTA's radio stations are hilarious.

Probably better if it were free, paid for by in-game advertisements via billboards and the like.

What are your reasons? And what about Crackdown, from the same dev? Despite the scores, it sold well last I heard.

Saints Row isn't even better than San Andreas. Saints Row was so lame character wise and story wise. Saints Row just doesn't have the story that GTA has. Overall GTA > Saints Row.

Saint's Row was the first game of the series. Rockstar had 4 GTA games under their belt before San Andreas, so you never know, SR2 could be better overall. I don't see the point of hyping one over the other when both have so much potential.

I am really looking forward to more info on both APB and Saint's Row 2, but at the end of the day they both will get shat on by GTA IV.
