Saints Row for PS3 cancelled by THQ

Oh' well, at least their making SR 2 for PS3. [Q~]

I would rather a game deved for both systems at the same time then, have a port of an older 360 game anyway. I'm not saying it wouldn't be nice to have more games on the PS3 but, I am saying that at least we're getting numero 2 so it's not soo bad.

GTA4 might fill the gap...or dare i say The Getaway?

A wise decision.

since the release date is pretty close to GTA4..and whats the point of buying SR when u can buy GTA..

Seriously this game was trash for the 360 and it would have been trash for the PS3....

the game wasnt all that good..but buildin a large library of games wouldnt hurt and help the ps3..sony better announce more great games this e3..

But i dont see a problem with them not bringing it to PS3, because by the time they would have GTA 4 would have been right around the corner.

Bad news?Thar's very good news

No real loss and the second one is coming so if you want to play a saints row you still can.

No loss for you PS3 guys... the game was about 30 minutes of entertainment before I started to get annoyed at how over the top and offensive they TRIED to be.

Well, at least PS3 owners will get SR2. Better than nothing, I suppose. One of my friends will be disappointed.

Just one problem: From now on, any game released on both systems will automatically be subject to the usual fanboyism of comparing peni...I mean, screenshots...of each version so they can talk about who has the bigger chips, or something like that. At least this way, the inevitable comparisons will have to wait for SR2.

Condemned used to be in development for PS3, but got cancelled because the PS3 was delayed. There was no point in releasing Saints Row with no added content on the PS3, especially when it's so old. If it was finished, of course they would have got it out the door. But the sales are gonna be poor for being so old and lacking content, and it's not even finished. Since the sequel is coming, it's useless to make it. Same with Full Auto and Oblivion (which got re-made for PS3).

I played the 360 one which my brother in law claimes is 'better' than gta games.....pffft! What a load of crap. IT's crap and I wont miss it.

i got it for 360 and didn't like then, still probably wouldn't like it now

that game sucked anyways i don't know what was the big hype about in the first place. MAYBE the second game will live up to me GrandTheftAuto fanyboy expectations.

Its good they cancelled it. Even if PS3 wasn't getting part 2, no one would have bought this. I bought it when it first came out but took it back after a couple days. (Thank you EB games 7 day trial period.)

About the only thing this game had over GTA (aside from better graphics, a given) was that you could shoot in any direction while driving. In fact I guess the shooting was better over all in SR but still not as good a game as GTA.

You listening Rockstar? How about some good 3rd person shooting controls this time as well as an aim mode while driving.

cause anything they did that was good.
rockstar will do it great.
it`s hard to follow in the footsteps of a giant.

think about it.

am i the only one that thought Saints Row on the 360 sucked? i mean, really, really sucked bad?

my roommate has a 360, and he rented it, and it was mediocre at best, yet a few notches above the True Crime series.

i enjoy Crackdown much more than Saints Row. i'm glad it's not coming to the PS3. i think GTAIV will be more than enough when it's released this October, as well as the Getaway, which i'm waiting to see if it'll address some it's predecessors issues.

Saint's Row 2? god help us all, really. i'm sure, since it's an early 2008 release, that they'll just be aping whatever innovations GTAIV come up with, like the blantant ripping off they did of the previous GTAs.

i think saints row was a great game and GTAIV will steal innovations from it aswell, doesnt bother me though only makes the games better.

...next. 2008's rendetion would've run laps around this one anyway with the sloppy port scenarios we've seen. Smart move, if totally true.

oblivion is a different story as it was game of the year to many, saints row was a decent but buggy and formulaic game.

next should be MMo

Cool,I can live with that.

Better to get version 2 from the scratch than version 1 as a crappy port (it might have been crappy, not sure though)

Im hapy with this, the 360 game was okay nothing amazing, plus it was slated to come out on the ps3 sometimes near GTA4.... which was a bad idea, so it's a good call

This was a smart move for them. GTA IV was coming out around the same time so no one was going to buy it anyway. Why port over a game no one will buy. We are tired of 360 ports on the PS3 anyway except for Rainbow Six and GRAW2, those are worth it.

Saints Row 2 will probably get canceled to do to the wonderful success of the PS3.

I had the 360 version and it had screen tearing, graphically its square only looks partly next gen if I can call it that in HD, on SD forget it looks just like San Andreas.
Although I have to say I preferred this over San Andreas, lets just all wait for the REAL GTA not like these copy cats as I still doubt even Saints Row 2 will be no match for GTA 4!

I have a 360 and PS3 so no flamers please or negative feedback I dont have many bubbles :-(

but PS3 owners aren't missing much.

Another game that PS3 lost huh?

WHy does it matter Saints Row 2 is going to be on ps3. I don't blame them for not putting it on PS3 because it would just be a waste of time since everyone will be waiting for SR 2

I really hope that in the future they do a city other than LA NYC and Miami because tokyo or paris or london would be incredible

better off i say...Saints Row was a step in the right direction. It was good enough to spur competition with the makers of GTA.
which in theory will make the two try and out do each other...while we, as gamers, get all the benefits of competition. EA *cough*cough*

anyway...i say better off because Saints Row really was their first step into this type of game. And if i was someone who did not get to play the first one...Saints Row2 would be a better game to be introduce to rather than an old port.

The first one was fun though.

who cares about saints row? i sold it after 1 week. it's a bad gta ripoff

Saint's Row 1 xbox360 exclusive confirmed

Whoever said this game sucks IS A FOOL!
This game IS BETTER than the current GTA games in every way possible, better graphics, better storyline,better targeting system,better car and character customization and weapons!

i disagree, i think the GTA stories are much deeper and immerse you way better than Saint's Row's story... they definately need a better storyline for SR2

Well

Sony fans, you can say whatever you want, but:

EVERY single game that you can get on your platform would be welcome now. Because there's to few content to defend a 600 dollar/euro pricetag.

But anyways i kinda liked saints row, but its far from as good as the gta series.

i just wish these games would go back to the more mob style of things. i like more of the criminal underworld element than gang stuff.

This guy is about the only one who deserves 1 bubble.

Funny how sony fanboys try to pretend that it its ok to looose more games, i think this console is begging for games,
