Saints Row: The Third - Scott Phillips Interview

http://www.quartertothree.com/fp/2011/12/08/qt3-games-podcast-saints-row-3-le...

Here it is guys!!

-Mission replays taken out because there was too many bugs, he states that it was in fact the most buggiest feature in SR2. About 8 thousand or so. An example being, bridges stayed up during missions at the beginning of the story. Yes PC gamers were able to mod in mission replay be they are running into some of the same bugs as Volition did

-They killed of Johnny because they wanted something to fuel your hatred toward the Syndicate. They were hoping that it was done better but unfortunately did not have time and memory for it. The interviewer then states "You killed of Johnny, you did it off screen, I know he's coming back that's just plain movie language"...Phillips did not state whether it was true or not, but he did laugh about it and said that most of the developers were upset about it and started to think it was a bad idea

-Food items are gone to improve grenades, they did not want the player to use the wheel, select grenades, then use the wheel again to go back to guns

-Freckle Bitches did not return because some of the team and fans thought it was not original, it just funny but only because it used a swear word. He goes on to state that GTA's "Burger Shot" seemed more clever and creative. Scott said that Freckle Bitches MIGHT return in the future, BUT DID NOT say if food/drug items will return as well

-Some missions seemed rushed because they have little cut scenes. Scott says that there are little cut scenes because they didn't have many people working on it, or that they had to cut some out from the final product, or the fact that they did not have space or memory for some of them

-Items were pixelated because of what you could do with the characters that sets of the ESRB rating. Yes, other games do show nudity but in Saints Row's case, beating up an old lady and then T-bagging her while nude, or doing the "wanker" taunt will set of ESRB

-They did not want to add a dark story because they didn't want the MC to feel as dark as he was on SR2. They had him kill his lieutenant which did drive the story but Phillips saw the Saints sort of as heroes, he wanted the MC to be that type of person that laughs in the face of danger

[Syndacade]

he talks about not having dark moments.. but didnt you think it weird to kill jonny gat but without the dark sadness? smh like i like the unrealistic stuff... some of it but damn the story was so garabage like they made you play activity's for missions... eh hope they work more in sr4

[Badboynic1010]

@Syndacade I still think Johnny is going to come back (Damn it, I'm moving ahead of myself here lol) I do plan on making a video about why I think that he is coming back and the interviewer also said what I was thinking. Once I'm done with that video I'll upload it

[zzdre]

I cba to listen to it all, is there any main parts in there that people want to know?

[Badboynic1010]

@zzdre I posted about the mission replay, I will post all of the other important things in the description as I listen to it

[hardy1122]

Saints row 4 better finish what is up with Dex...Very disappointed to see they didnt incorporate that in the story..As far as i know the dlc for SR2 ends with dex fleeing stilwater and they then he vanishes (right?)

[Norrlandssvinet]

I hate that they killed Johnny gat in SR3, they destroyd the game..ihope they do a SR4, and in the begining of the game they take zombie gat in to a lab and take out the virus from him and then do him to a real person..Take out the virus from gat, gat lies in coma for 3-4 weeks and then after the coma he is back in action ^^ that should be awsome if they did that Gat is my favorite character in the game so i hope they do another game in SR series

[RumbleFighterFreaks]

@133aaron Saints Row isn't Saints Row without Johnny? So basically I bought a different game.

[133aaron]

@RumbleFighterFreaks i still like carlos better ... and why would u tae the game back just cas a charcter u like died

[migdawnaw]

man there lying there werent any bugs when i replayed missions in saints row 2 not 1 bug happened and i throught they didnt do replay mission because of the 2 choice missions and people might go back and change there current state that they picked!

[RumbleFighterFreaks]

@yanique4u Gat is one of a kind.

[RumbleFighterFreaks]

@133aaron Gat is way better he's been their through thick and thin I was about to take the game back finding out Gat was dead... Stfu Carlos cool but Johnny has my respect forever R.I.P. bro

[slimshady662266]

i think gats not dead in sr2 he took on the rohin got stabed with a sword and got shot with a shotgun in the knee i think hes still alive

[MrFendkg287316]

i hate how some missions are just cut scenes -__-

[PhoenixReaper14]

I think Gat is not dead because in SRT3rd Gat is making a movie so it could be that 1 Gat's Stunt man or some took the death of Gat or he is really dead:( also if u play SR2 u could see that ur person gets Made at the brotherhoods when Carlos dies.My thought is that 1.Gat did not die or They forgot to put feeling in the saints leader.But overall that I like this game

[IAmTheOnlyJoeBoy697]

So when are we going after Dex?
