At about 1:14... I don't know if anyone spotted this, and it's probably part of the simulation..but I'm pretty sure that's Gat with the knife in his chest...

EDIT*

I was mostly tipped off by the collar. Here's a photo for "comparison's sake" thanks to @demoskinos for the pic.

Care to elaborate?

@the_ruiner: It's officially mentioned in the Saints Row wiki; so, it does seem that people have noticed this.

Since the game also comes with a memorial statue of Gat, it would be pretty crazy if he's in the game. But then, it is Saints Row.

My avatar has a big Johnny Gat head.

He's a big head.

All I see is a chest, why do you think this is a specific guy?

I have to say, that I have no idea who Johnny Gat is, so if it's obvious I'm sorry

A simulated universe would easily allow the provision of a simulated Johnny. Dead in reality, live and kicking in virtual reality.

I hope they do that.

They have to bring Johnny back. I can't see how they could get away without doing that, especially with all the other shit they are doing in that game. Bringing Johnny back is probably one of the more believable things.

Well Gat does wear gold chains...

Notice the collar. Now look at this a picture of Johnny. Its him. High collar with two straps with buttons. Just like Johnny wore.

Did anyone else also notice that there's going to be two Shaundis?

Point is since this an alternate reality, they're allowed to do whatever the Hell they want. They can bring back as many dead characters as they want (Lin and Carlos plz), and Gat above all deserves this 'resurrection' with the way he was sent off in SRTT.

EDIT: For some reason that kinda came across as a little hostile, which wasn't my intention :P Just wanted to point out the freedom they have for where the story can go -- even more so than what was possible in the 'real world' of SRTT.

Holy crap, that totally is. He's propped up like he is in the cutscene in SR3 when Loren is talking to you on the phone. You can see him on the side of the...desk, I believe? It's really early on, after you escape the plane. You might even be able to see the knife. Also, in the screenshot from the trailer, you can see his bare chest and the chains like he wears in SR3 as well.

That image really should have been in the first post for comparison's sake. As it is, that picture alone means nothing

Yes please. He left way too early in 3.

Glad to see that some people at least remembers the whole Virtual Reality-thing the game has got going on for it.
To the other guys: You know, that place that's basically the matrix and you have super powers? The place where someone could probably pop Johnny Gat into as a virtual character?
Nothing? It's not getting through, is it?

Dude nice catch, I totally didn't notice this. Hooray for potential Johnny Gat!

he's gonna be a bad guy, calling it.

Not an alternate reality at all, it's all in the simulation most likely.

It's designed to put the Saints through their worst moments. Shaundi totally took Gat's death hard. So it is very likely that it is just in her simulation.

Also, time travel.

This is Saints Row - ANYTHING is possible.

Anything?

ANYTHING.

I thought that they already revived him through that clones DLC. Well, kinda...

Yeah, I can see it

I want to believe.jpg

I really hope he's a ghost or something equally stupid. If that is him in the screenshot, he has a knife in his chest so that makes my hope that much closer to a reality.

I think Keith David is back as well. Keith David is so great.

Zombie Gat. Called it.
