Saints Row 2 gets anti-GTA trailer, looks funny
THQ just sent word that a new trailer for Saints Row 2‘s just gone up, which takes a less than subtle dig at the fact GTA IV may concern itself a little too much with bowling and going out with “friends”.
The Volition action game, as you’ll see, features a lot of violence, flaming quad bikes, spraying shit on innocents from a lorry and – and – base-jumping. We’re all about the base-jumping. Much better than bowling, says the promo.
Some new shots here, too. Saints Row 2′s releasing in October for PC, PS3 and 360.

Wow, that’s completely changed my entire opinion of the game.

I thought it looked really good, personally.

As was Saints Row 1. Just because “it isn’t GTA” doesn’t mean it was and won’t be good.

I’m actually interested to see what Swordfish are doing with Fiddy 2 as well.

Whatever the quality of the final game, that’s a cracking trailer. Looks like a lot of fun, actually.

I’ve seen it, don’t be. It’s Kane and Lynch.

heh. Fair play to ya! Being honest, it doesn’t look shit, not by a long stretch. It’s been done so many times but this time it’s got a fiddy skin instead.
Still, drop-in drop-out co-op is always full of win.
Oh and don’t worry, Pat. I’ll let you be Fiddy.

MUCH better trailer than the last one!
Streaking in public, eh?

Base-jumping and getting naked in the street does it for me, really.
And yeah, I’m not playing unless I’m Fiddy. I’ll go into a massive sulk if I’m not.

Throwing people in front of trains for the insurance money is something I could do for hours.

All I can think about now is naked base-jumping.
