Saint's Row 2 formally announced

360 News | Set in Stilwater again.
THQ has formally announced via a press release that Saint's Row 2 is on the way to the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3 in 2008. The game is once again developed by Volition Inc and will offer expanded customisation options, a totally transformed and expanded Stilwater, new vehicles, sandbox tools as well as both online co-op and competitive multiplayer.

Saints Row set the bar for next-gen open-world development, earning praise for its unmatched customization, controls, and the genre’s first-ever online multiplayer,” said Scott Guthrie, Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing, THQ. “The team at Volition, Inc. is leveraging invaluable experience gained on Saints Row to build Saints Row 2 into a game that sets the standard for combat, player freedom, customization, vehicle game-play, team-based co-op and the most compelling online open world experience to date.”

Saints Row 2 has a much darker and more sinister story that leads your character down a path of betrayal, revenge and redemption against the city that has left him for dead, although we’ve blended that with the same light-hearted humor from the original.” said Greg Donovan, lead producer, Volition, Inc. “Couple that with the most robust open-world feature set ever developed in the genre, and Saints Row 2 promises a gaming experience that will offer players the perfect balance of gripping narrative and compelling gameplay options.”

Ah, thats good to know - I liked the setting of Stillwater the first time around. The city had a good feel to it. I hope they don't go overboard when revamping it.

I hope for the PS3 version they do a decent job of porting it and they don't make it run like poo.
