Definately looking like a coke commercial, but why would they bother to make such a thing?

They have Saints (somthing) for xbox 360 coming out soon. supposively its like gta just a helluva lot better.

Awsome commercial tho.

It's definitely a Coke commercial; designed to look like GTA. One that will certainly apeal to many gamers familiar with GTA.

'Tis still hilarious Razz

The game's called Saint's Row. I just read about it at IGN

As far as being better than GTA, I'm not sure... It seems like almost an exact replica, with a few minor changes (which I am not overly impressed by) such as:
  • Ability to "call up homies" at any time... similar to recruiting gang members to follow you in GTA:SA
  • A personal audio player so you can listen to music anytime, not just while driving... I actually don't think I'd use this
  • Customizable characters and cars... done and overdone
  • Better graphics and an actual physics engine... that's something to look forward to, but it's still doesn't change how similar the gameplay is to GTA
  • 4 modes of multiplayer... people may be looking forward to this but I don't play much multiplayer anyway

Honestly, I think people are just trying to "ride the GTA bandwagon" by creating similar titles with minor "improvements." The only people which seems to really make it look different is Rockstar itself... just compare GTA3 to Vice City to San Andreas.

curse you dial-up Evil or Very Mad

i agree with NikG about RockStar being the only company that actuall seems to be able to make improvements to the GTA series, the differences between GTA 3, Vice City and San Andreas was astonishing and i doubt any other company could have come up with something like that while still maintaining the GTA "feel"

Couldn't watch the video? I think Mazer link is to a lower quality version (though I might be wrong).

i dont get why they would let people preorder a game over a year before its expected release. half the time the release is delayed by months.

i finally go to watch it (im at home with high-speed now, i was at my bros yesterday and he cant get high-speed Sad) and that was a pretty cool coke commercial

@NikG: because it was dial-up it was buffering so slow that all it would do was jump frames Sad
