I'm sticking with the 360 version, if only because that's what my co-op bros game on.

Same here, I like the 360 controller a lot more and my friend whom I'm going to play this game with is also getting the 360 version so no choice for me.
That's fine

 

[Mr. Luchador]

Is the difference that noticeable?

 

[Longshot]

PS3 version framerate seems to hold up pretty well here...

Looking Vsynced as well or at the very least, very minimal tearing.

That bike looks rad, and what's happening at 20 seconds in? It looks like he's not wearing underwear. -_-

 

[The Dutch Slayer]

Not for me but my eyes are bad to begin with so 99% of the time I can't tell if their is substantial let alone some minor differences.

I will customize that bike to be all black if possible and pull a Batman. It is inevitable.

Looks like he's wearing the Battle-Nun outfit from the mission shown in the GB quick-look.

 

[DrBo42]

360 stream.

 

[Sec0nd]

Getting the game on friday, I cannot wait!

 

[AgentOtaku]

R1 but you can probably change it, ill check in a minute. The design of steelport is really cool but I dont know how to get around like in sr1 and 2.

Holy shit yes, thanks man!

 

[AgentOtaku]

Holy shit, didn't realize Giant Bomb quicklook is indeed PS3 version. Actually quite surprising as they usually demo 360 version of titles.

DLing HD now. Hurray Whiskey Media account.

 

[B-Dex]

Didn't get a code form gamestop . Even went to 2 diff stores.

 

[Got the Shakes]

I have the 360 version preordered from Amazon, but I think I need to put serious thought into switching to the PS3 version.

 

[saunderez]

The 360 version has an option for V-Sync during gameplay. By default it is Off. I wouldn't be surprised if it defaults to On on the PS3 version. Anyone proclaiming the PS3 version is better due to it's "smoothness" should probably try enabling V-Sync first.

 

[Teknoman]

Any suggestions for the Steam Group name other than "Saints Row 3 GAF"?

 

[Deleted member 20415]

I can't wait until everyone can get their hands on this game. I reviewed it last week and I am freaking in love with it. It's so stupid, so over-the-top and just fun to play.

I hope you people didn't read any cameo spoilers... because going into it blind and seeing certain people cracked me up!

 

[MasterShotgun]

Are there other people besides

Spoiler

Burt Reynolds

? A simple yes or no will do.

 

[Deleted member 20415]

no.

I didn't put that in my review because I think people should go into that blind. It's so out of left field, but it works.

I might be wrong, but didn't I read in this thread that if you enable V-Sync on the 360 it effects the framerate much more than on PS3?

 

[Barrett2]

After watching the Giant Bomb quicklook, I am so hyped. This looks....amazing..

I think some said if you set vsync on 360 the framerate takes a hit. Probably why it's off by default.

This game is so close now. Feels like I just need to go to sleep wake up, do my daily stuff, come home, then bam midnight.

 

[Kerrby]

Anyone got their GMG codes yet?

 

[saunderez]

I think some said if you set vsync on 360 the framerate takes a hit. Probably why it's off by default.

That's the entire purpose of V-Sync though. You have a consistently lower frame rate in return for no screen tearing. If it's enabled by default on the PS3 and disabled on the 360 you're comparing apples and oranges. I don't know if it's enabled by default on the PS3 but it certainly seems to be the case.

 

[Ploid 3.0]

you can turn vsync on (360 version) which results in a pretty bad framerate with no tearing.

Seems with it on you're sacrificing play-ability. If Vsync is on for PS3 it still seems smooth and very playable. Personally, I'd take the tearing over bad framerate.

Hyped. I didn't know there was a perk/skill system. Only a few more days! Hoping my game arrives early.

 

[Maddness]

Man I wish this game unlocked tonight instead of tomorrow night on Steam. Fuck me! I'm having withdrawl and I haven't even played the fucking game yet.

 

[Backflip]

no.

I didn't put that in my review because I think people should go into that blind. It's so out of left field, but it works.

I completely agree. I left it out of my review as well. I didn't expect it at all.

 

[Messi]

I think I know what you guys are talking about was it in the pimps and gimps trailer?. ill be so angry if i ruined it by watching 1 freaking trailer.

Again a yes or no will do

 

[Weenerz]

Has GMG sent out keys yet? I want my pre-order bonus from Steam damn you!

I hadn't seen that trailer... the preview image on YouTube ruins it. So yeah.

 

[Got the Shakes]

I just switched my Amazon preorder from 360 to PS3. They might end up being more or less the same, but it looked like from the Giant Bomb quick look that the PS3 version ran pretty well and I could use a few more games for it anyways.

 

[Derrick01]

I haven't gotten anything from them yet. I don't even know if they're sending the keys out early I haven't seen them reply in the GMG thread.

 

[CATDAFELIX]

Just received a Automated call from EB games in Calgary saying that the game will be available at 12:01am Tuesday (Pre launch party at 10pm?). I'm wondering if this is connected to the AC: Revelations Midnight launch and that I can pick up Saints Row: The Third on Monday night. Anybody else find out this info?

I'm also going in to EB tomorrow morning to do some trades and fully pay off the game and figure out what’s the deal about these Strategy guides that are coming out. The deal is that the Studio Edition has its own DLC. Prices are everywhere on this guide and the regular edition.

Saints Row: The Third Interactive Map Pack Digital/Web Site?

First time I've heard of DLC in a Strategy Guide and the only reason I'm looking at getting it. If the OP wants to put this in the 1st post it's all good.

 

[cacophony]

Wait the Ultor is DLC? They better put it on the marketplace too. That looked so awesome in the Itagaki trailer.

the hell..DLCs with a freaking strategy book,the entire DLCs business (Season pass, Genki and now this strategy guide DLCs bullshit)for Saints Row 3 is just horrible.

 

[Bear]

Anyone pick up the PC version? Any impressions?

 

[SapientWolf]

Anyone pick up the PC version? Any impressions?

It's locked. The DRM is impressive, I guess. But the PC previews are all positive.

 

[DrBo42]

Anyone pick up the PC version? Any impressions?

Pretty sure it's all steamworks. Gotta wait for it to unlock.

Edit: Yeah.

 

[SlickVic]

First time doing the Steam preload thing, so I'm kinda curious on the unlock times in the US. If you're on Pacific time will it unlock at 9PM or does everyone have to wait till it's midnight in their respective time zone?

 

[Ploid 3.0]

Nooooooo, jet bike is dlc? Nonononono!!

STAG jet-bike = unlock it in the game.
Ultor Interceptor jet-bike = DLC.

Crisis averted.

 

[SlickVic]

Nooooooo, jet bike is dlc? Nonononono!!

I thought I heard there was one you can get in game and a re-skinned one in the DLC. Really hope that's the case; seems a bit mean to show that off in so many of the promo vids, only to have to splurge some more cash on DLC to actually get it.

 

[ZacharyDCCLXXVII]

Nooooooo, jet bike is dlc? Nonononono!!

I thought it was just going to be an early unlock. If it's DLC like the Genki shit, that's disappointing.

 

[dreamfall]

Has the DLC been officially announced? Would it be possible to include in the OT?

 

[Totobeni]

[DrBo42]

Wait what?

Edit: Oh okay. Is there a video of the difference?

 

[Ploid 3.0]

STAG jet-bike = unlock it in the game.
Ultor Interceptor jet-bike = DLC.

Oh right. I saw jet bike + dlc and jumped. My bad people. That's a relief hah.

 

[bloodydrake]

I usually enjoy Gametrailers reviews of games, but I thought their review of this game was pretty bad. Granted, I haven't played it of course, but it seems like they were wholly unwilling to enjoy this game.

They ragged on Saints Row 2 quite a bit as well.
I find it funny that they Call the city Stillwater over and over when if you play more then intro you end up In a new City Called Steelport.
Its pretty obvious they didn't play it much for the review.

[nismogrendel]

I broke down and preordered it - TF2 items and some free DLC isn't a bad deal. $50 too.

Question for you guys that are already playing. How is the driving?

I liked the mayhem of Just Cause 2 but I thought the driving had a shitty feel to it.

Asking again, anyone wanna chime in on the driving?

 

[Deleted member 20415]

Asking again, anyone wanna chime in on the driving?

It took me a bit getting used to... but I liked it. Very tight turning on some of the vehicles, so you find that at first you crash A LOT... but you'll be able to finesse your way around corners with the E-brake pretty easily.
