In a public conversation on Bluesky, former Volition developer Elizabeth Zelle, alongside videogame preservationists Andrew Borman and Phil Salvadore, highlighted the existence of Skinballs, a surreal Saints Row test NPC who, through an accident of history, will be forever preserved for future generations in the Strong Museum of Play...

- Saints Row: The Third cheats - 27 August 2021
Saints Row is a ludicrous open world action series about doing ludicrous things with ludicrous powers (and, also, dildo bats). Abilities you unlock throughout Saints Row the Third let you sprint forever, reload guns instantly, and walk away from explosions without a scratch, but it doesn't have the fourth game's crazy super powers, which give you telekinesis and let you super jump across the world. With these Saints Row 3 cheats, however, you can still play god... Read more.

- Saints Row: The Third Remastered gets free PS5 and Xbox Series upgrade next week - 18 May 2021
Saints Row: The Third Remastered is getting some improvements on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series next week, with a free upgrade that will bring these console versions to the same standard as the "PC edition at high settings". Arriving on 25th May, the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S upgrade will allow the game's engine to "run at a much higher performance, bringing improvements to lighting, texture resolution, and other visual effects thanks to the powerful hardware." The press release from Deep Silver explains this will bring framerates up to 60fps with dynamic 4k resolution. Xbox Series S users will be able to choose between two modes depending on how they want the game to run. There's Performance Mode, in which gameplay is locked at 60fps with 1080p resolution, or Beauty Mode, which provides an upscaled 4k resolution but a framerate of 30fps. PlayStation 5 users, meanwhile, get Activ…
- Saints Row The Third Remastered hits Steam late May - 2 May 2021
Saints Row The Third Remastered hits Steam on 22nd May. Confirmation comes from the official Saints Row Twitter account. The Saints Row The Third remaster came out in May 2020 on console and PC via the Epic Games Store. Now Epic's standard one year of PC exclusivity is up, Volition's game can hit Steam. Read more
- Saints Row: The Third Remastered is coming to Steam this month - 1 May 2021
Remember Saints Row: The Third Remastered ? You know, the remaster of the madcap open-world game that release around this time last year on the Epic Games Store. It's coming to Steam in a few weeks. Someone tweeted at the official account wondering if the crime game would ever arrive on Valve's platform. The account replied with a simple release date of May 22, meaning exactly one year after it came out on Epic. This is par the course for the Epic Games Store and Steam, as Epic's strategy has been to pay lump sums to have timed or complete exclusivity on any new game , or upcoming game 's time on PC. If you haven't played Saints Row: The Third , or just not since 2013, this remaster is a pretty ideal package. You get all the DLC, plus the usual visuals upgrades, and optimisation for newer hardware. Between the base game, and extras that were put out post-release, there's a lot of wild a…
- Saints Row: The Third Remastered is real and better than GTA6 could ever hope to be - 1 May 2021
Listen, yes, we're all excited about the inevitable-but-still-unannounced Grand Theft Auto 6 release date . But I'm here to tell you that there is already a game that has met and surpassed every expectation ever put upon the GTA series. That game is Saints Row: The Third, and following early leaks , a remaster of one of the best open-world games out there is finally confirmed. Saints Row: The Third Remastered features a substantial graphical overhaul, with what the press release says is "around 4,000 assets reworked" courtesy of Sperasoft - a support studio that's worked on everything from The Outer Worlds to Assassin's Creed Odyssey. Weapons have been remodelled, cars have been redesigned, and a "vast proportion of the city" is blanketed in new textures. It's the improved lighting that really stands out in the new trailer, though - Steelport looks practically modern, bathed in orange s…
- Saints Row The Third: Remastered review - 21 May 2020
Saints Row The Third: Remastered review Saints Row The Third: Remastered is probably the best version of this classic action-adventure about gangs ‘n’ guns. It just depends what that means to you in 2020. * Developer: Deep Silver Volition; * Publisher: Deep Silver; * Release: 22nd May; * On: Windows; * From: Epic Game Store; * Price: £35/€40/$40; Getting remastered games feels like a bit of a monkey’s paw at this point, doesn’t it? The finger has curled, and we get remasters of all the old games we loved – but we have to play them a decade after their original release, and not as the person we were when we loved them. And I did really love Saints Row. It has this kind of uplifting, ur-adolescent energy, where if you feel like you want to punch the world you probably can, and you can do it dressed as a witch or an alien. Also, I had a massive crush on Johnny Gat.…
- Five of the Best: Character Creators - 24 January 2020
Five of the Best is a weekly series about the parts of games we overlook. We've discussed a diverse bunch: crowds, hubs, potions, mountains, hands... They're the things we take for granted while we play but then, years later, find lodged in our brains. It's only then we begin to appreciate how important they were. So let's celebrate them. Today... Character creators! How long do you spend in them? Do you pick a premade face and just breeze through? Do you pick a template, tinker a bit and then settle? Or do you adjust absolutely everything, take all evening and it still doesn't look right? I feel your pain. Read more
- Saints Row: The Third on Switch is a great idea that's poorly executed - 14 May 2019
There are two different ways to look at the Switch port of Saints Row: The Third'. From a glass half full perspective, what you're getting an exceptionally close conversion of the PS3 original, closer still if you play in handheld mode. But viewed in a glass half empty way, all of the failings of the last-gen console versions remain in full effect on this new release: let's make no bones about it, performance is poor and the controls have severe input lag issues. Let's focus initially on the positives. Playing Saints Row: The Third in Switch's handheld mode is definitely the best way to experience the game. It renders at a full 720p - making it a pin-sharp native experience on Switch's six-inch screen, while performance seems to be more consistent than the docked mode. As usual, the smaller screen does a good job of hiding some of the cut-backs and compromises and to all intents and pur…
- The Joy of Saints Row s Johnny Gat - 11 July 2017
A friend of mine started the Saints Row series with the fourth one. She loved having superpowers and trashing a virtual city, but she did wonder what the deal was with Johnny Gat. Even though he’s not in half the game spoilers for the third and fourth Saints Rows, but Johnny Gat dies and then comes back to life his absence is felt. Characters talk about how his loss changed them. The dude with the sunglasses and neck tattoos who seems like a generic video game badass is treated like he matters. Gat’s a mascot for Saints Row, whether cameoing in games outside the series or within them. You start Saints Row: The Third with every member of the gang wearing an oversized Gat mask during a bank robbery even Gat himself has one, pointless as that makes the disguise. Everybody wants to be Johnny Gat. To understand why he has that reputation, why fans love him while outsiders roll th…
- A visual guide to PC gaming's best customization sliders - 10 February 2017
PC gaming has a long and storied history of menu and customization sliders. So long and storied, in fact, that I can't be bothered to research it. Instead, I'm just going to post gifs of some of my favorite game sliders, be they sliders that adjust a character's facial features, body parts, or accessories, or ones that let you tweak some element of a game from zero to 100, and beyond! Okay, not beyond. Typically, they just go to 100. Here are PC gaming's best sliders. If I missed one of your favorites, just slide into the comments and let me know. Foot Size: Reign of Kings Open world survival game Reign of Kings has a lot going for it—including the ability to kill yourself by bashing your face with a rock you can store in your own butt —and that includes a surprisingly robust character creation utility, which allows you to adjust nearly every aspect of…
- The RPG Scrollbars: Rise Of The MOBA Heroes - 6 June 2016
Hello there. This week, I’m writing not just as an RPG columnist, but as president of the newly formed League Of Folks Who Don’t Really Play MOBAs But Are Bizarrely Hooked On All The Trappings. As far as I can tell, our membership is roughly a billion people and counting. That’s what happens when the likes of Blizzard and Riot spend literally tens of dollars creating gorgeous videos to promote their worlds , yes, but it goes somewhat deeper than that. Have you ever watched a new character reveal for a game you know you’re never going to play? Then the sickness might have spread. …
- Have You Played Saints Row: The Third? - 21 April 2016
Have You Played? is an endless stream of game retrospectives. One a day, every day of the year, perhaps for all time. Saints Row 2 is my favourite of the series for sandbox crimes, and obviously Saints Row IV is the best superhero game ever made, but what about Saints Row: The Third there in the middle? Well, it suffers in comparison to either, but there are worse things to be than the third-best game in a cracker of a series. …
