    CGI trailers mean very little to a games progression besides to just wayfully insert some hype within the wait of its release, and to generally look pretty cool at that. This naturally isn't quite Old Republic whoresome, but still a really slick video; one that you'd think was directed by Zach Snyder there's so much slowing of the motions. Also it has a purty good Kanye West (?) song in there too that settles in nicely with all the scrappin'. 
     
    There's a pretty weird scene where it looks like there's two representatives of the default Boss character for Saints Row: The Third as well. Maybe alluring to coop? Which was already announced long ago, but I mean of a wink to the comradery you may (or may not) get from playing this with a friend. The trailer ends on a kind of cliffhanger too, alluding to what could be the ''bigger bad'' ultra-evil corporation that forces the two most prominent gangs to unite, but then must settle their differences onces it's all over in a one-on-one duel, with the Third Street Saints boss winning but still acknowledging respect towards the adversary?.. Naaaaaaaaaaaaah.

    The game will be an enormous clusterfuck. And I'll love every minute of it.

    I think it may have been Johnny Gat that took the bullet.
     
    That's a great trailer. I really can't wait for this game.

    That certainly looked like something to expect in a Saints Row game.

    A very fun trailer. That sounds cheesy, but... okay it's cheesy, but the game will be too! I still find Kanye's voice to be grating though. Anyways, I'm really excited for the game. I hope the customization doesn't disappoint.

    Was that Ashton Kutcher at 1:03? If so thank god there's numerous different ways to punch guys in the nuts. Dildo sword at the ready.

    too bad the actual game's graphics aren't as good as the cg trailer. Might look like the second game.
     
    Then again I don't care, saints row 2 is one of my favorite games.

    Honestly I like the stylised character design and over the top gun fight but them being celebrities, doing TV adverts and having there own dating advice show is just too dumb for me.

    Good point, though Gat's meant to have silver-ish hair, isn't he? But then again Pierce and Shandi don't look quite like their classic selves at that.

    That's the part of the game you find dumb?  The whole series is supposed to be very over the top and silly, I think that's why it works so well against GTA. 
    The celebrity thing is a bit odd, but I'm sure it won't be a huge point past the first few minutes of the game and I do like the fact your guys are already the ones on top, and it's not another case of having to work your way up from the bottom.  They've already done that twice, it's nice to see something a bit different.

    No I know its an over the top series but I said that bit is too dumb, I take your point though how it might not be that big off a deal after the first few minutes.

    At the very least I like the tone they are trying to set. Very slick, very violent, and over the top in the dumbest way.

    Definitely. That airstrike ability they've been referencing so often is also supposed to be a pretty early on addition you'll find in the game, so this looks like it'll simply start off all bombastic and completely radical. I expect a lot more of the territory control, business buy and such, but this time you'll just have a lot more snazzy guns, clothes and, hopefully, an already pimped out (I don't usually use that term.. but, y'know..) pad from the get go.

    I'm again excited about the prospect of making the most unacceptable looking character for potential cut-scenes, especially if 'The Boss' does TV shows.

    I certainly hope we'll have like-minded moves in the actual game! You'll be going against a Mexican Wrestler themed gang, and if it continues under the same design as the SR2, then hopefully you'll unlock yourself an awfully painful wrestling fighting style <3

    Yeah, that has to be Gat that gets shot. If you look at the billboard at the beginning of the trailer it has a picture of him and a "Johnny Gat" signature on it.

    That actually kind of removes one of the worries I previously had about this game. I thought it was weird how they revealed Shaundi and Pierce but not Gat. I thought they were going to kill him off early on or something. I guess that still could happen, but I hope not; I love that crazy, cop-killing maniac.
     
    I think this might be my most anticipated game of the year.

    If they kill off Gat... 
     
    I really enjoyed the past 2 SR games and this one seems just as awesome so I'll be buying it day one. 
     
    Actually, I don't even think the one on the poster is Gat. I think it's supposed to be the "Default Shepard" of SR3. Also, it's odd how the girl on the couch just shakes her head at 1:26 while everybody's shooting at each other.

    The SR games have always had some pretty high calibur actors/actresses in their cast so it's possible Ashton could be in here too. I'd wager he'll be the archetypal ''betrayer'' of the group.. or at least I hope so if he's in this.

    I can't wait for this game. Also, that CG trailer was fantastic. Kanye West, heists, slow-mo madness, hover jets, and slick editing? Yeah, pretty damn cool.
