Saints Row: The Third Remaster coming to XB1, PS4 and Epic Games
Recently, a new section was added to the Saints Row site, along with a trailer posted to their Youtube, showcasing a remaster of one of their best games, Saints Row: The Third. At the end of the trailer, the release date is shown as being for the 22nd of May 2020.
Right off the bat, I have to say, this looks amazing! It’s making me want to replay Saints Row again! If you’ve ever seen those GTA: San Andreas mods that make the game look really good, that’s what this trailer reminds me of. I can’t wait to play it, and I am probably going to replay the whole game.
As well as much-improved graphics, the game will also be receiving “all three mission packs and more than 30 DLC items“, according to the website. I haven’t played much of the DLC, but from what I have played, it’s pretty good. And the remaster will give me the opportunity to play more of it.
The reason why I am so excited for me is that this game has a special place for me. I used to play this all the time back on the Xbox 360 and PS3. It is one of my favourite games of all time, and I’m just so excited to see what they can do with the game now. Although the original does have its certain charm with its graphics, a makeover is very welcome and has greatly expanded the games lifetime and relevancy. I believe that it is unconfirmed whether people who already own the game will get the remaster for free or not (I highly doubt it though, since it’ll be on Epic’s store). I’m just really looking forward to the new graphics. Make sure you drop a comment about what you think of the remaster, I love hearing your opinions.
What is the Switch version? I think thats the remake so this is the first time ever the Switch version was released before the PS4/Xb1 versions.
Will there be a SR4 remake also? That just got released on Switch last week.
I think the Switch version was a port with the original graphics, not the new ones. I hope they remake SR4 as I love that game too.
yo, i never played the saint row 3 or 4. Looks like fun which one should I buy first for the switch?
3 is a MUCH better game.
3 has alot more polish and (arguably) a better story, but 4 has superpowers, alien spaceships and stuff like that. I would say that 3 is better overall though
That just made my day. I love SR3 best of the games i think. I just finished playing SR4 again thinking i want to play 3 and wishing with reckless abandon they would make a SR5 HAHA. However this will do nicely for now.
SR5 would be very interesting, especially considering how 4 ended.
Yeah, definitely not. The Switch couldn’t handle the graphics boost of this remaster. In regards to SR4, it’s already been released for PS4/XB1. Why would they need a remaster?
What they need to do is remaster 1 & 2.
2 is getting remastered, at least on PC. They found the source code for that version again and are working on it, and it’ll include all the console-only DLC the original PC release never got.
I’d bet that once that’s out it’ll get ported to other platforms.
I haven’t played 1 or 2 as much as I would like, so when (and if) the SR2 remaster releases, I’ll definetly be getting that
Why? It’s not even that old and the graphics hold up. This is stupid and lazy. I’d also wager they don’t get the old tracks back in some cases.
They should do something new or remake/ reimagine some classics.
