More On: Saints Row The Third

Saints Row was a GTA clone that stood out only because it was earnestly pretty good. Maybe more homage than clone? The sequel was mostly more of the same, then came Saints Row The Third which really dialed up the game's scope and took the first leap forward with the series. Released originally on the latest hardware in 2011, the nine years that have passed have ushered in a new generation and now the game is coming to those shores as well. 

Saints Row The Third - Remastered is out today for Xbox One, PS4, and PC. The game is ridiculous, as the trailer below shows, but it comes off as fun, whacky ridiculous not the smh type. The remastered version roots itself in the expanded city of Steelport; includes enhanced graphics, improved lighting, reworked environments, and visual effects; all the over the top weaponry the series is famous for including hover jets and human cannonball cars; crazy character customization options; co-op play; and all the 30 different pieces of DLC from the original game. Full press release after the Read More link below.

Story:
 
Saints Row: The Third Remastered gives you control of the Saints at the height of their power, and you live the life to show for it. This is your city. These are your rules. Remastered with enhanced graphics, Steelport - the original city of sin - has never looked so good as it drowns in sex, drugs and guns. 
 
Years after taking Stilwater for their own, the Third Street Saints have evolved from street gang to household brand name, with Saints sneakers, Saints energy drinks and Johnny Gat bobblehead dolls all available at a store near you. The Saints are kings of Stilwater, but their celebrity status has not gone unnoticed. The Syndicate, a legendary criminal fraternity with pawns in play all over the globe, has turned its eye on the Saints and demands tribute.
 
Refusing to kneel to the Syndicate, you take the fight to Steelport, a once-proud metropolis reduced to a struggling city of sin under Syndicate control. Take a tank skydiving, call in a satellite-targeted airstrike on a Mexican wrestling gang, and fight against a highly-trained military force by your lonesome in the most outlandish gameplay scenarios ever seen.
