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."
The Full Package, Remastered – With enhanced graphics, improved lighting, reworked environments, and visual effects, Steelport and The Third Street Saints have never looked so good.
City of Sin - Disrupt and dismantle the Syndicate stranglehold on weapons, cybercrime, and criminal rackets. Discover the secrets of Steelport, where there is action on every street corner, for better or, more likely, worse.
Weapons of Crass Destruction – It’s one thing to defeat your enemies. It’s another to humiliate them. Hover jets, human cannonball cars and outrageous melee weapons are all part of the fun.
Crazy Character Customisation – Create the most outlandish characters ever seen, from washed-up celebrities to maskless ninja pirates. Inside every sinner, there is a Saint. Who will you become?
Over The Top Co-op – Fly solo or play online with a homie. Give freefall skydiving a try, landing in your partner’s flaming pickup as you make a desperate run toward a heavily armed Syndicate base. Steelport is always more fun with a friend.
It's the same game but with better graphics and new bugs. You'll have the same fun, you'll get all the DLCs and costumes and everything. But this time it has better graphics, somewhat, if it matters to you. And it has more bugs. Like tires often screeching endlessly until you stop the car and other weird stuff. Also some bugged achievements for the clones and space stories. I didn't get any of those achievements.
Graphics and bugs is really the only difference. If you're unsure and want to play it safe regarding the bugs and crashes (I only had like one so maybe I was lucky) then get the original, but either way you'll have maximum fun :D
How could anyone dislike this? I had no idea SR3-remastered was THIS high quality, and its so smooth! I am using DXVK like the wiki suggested. It really butters out the performance! Using only a gtx1080 i couldnt get the game to stutter if i tried. Its so smooth!
It seriously looks like resident evil 7 game engine, but even better because you can actually disable the TAA blur in this game.
Not even joking this might be the best graphics to performance ratio game i have ever played for an open world.
and you can actually see cars and boats now, from seemingly infinite range. Its sweet. The game can totally handle more enemies and cars and stuff on screen than sr2 could
And this version is more stable than the steam version 100%. I own both and i am now playing the gog version only because im allowed to turn OFF fog in the gog version. If i turn it off in the steam version i get egregious black boxes that make my game almost unplayable. I cannot reproduce this bug on the GOG version.
Its hard to ignore how many things are instantly better about this game (coming from a 140+hr sr2 playthrough with gentleman of the row)
-Combat is better plain and simple, and retains that smooth physics-ey feel. The crosshair in this game is smaller and the combat is TIGHT. The weapons are nice and accurate. I can get clean headshots very satisfying gun sounds.
This feels exactly like SR2 but just with like RE-Engine tier of graphics, nothing is worse about this than SR2 that ive found yet. Only improvements
I like how the controls are good now, they honestly were not in SR2.
My system specs are: 13700K, 2070 Super, running from a Gen. 3 M.2 SSD on Windows 10 at 1440p Ultra settings.
It seems like many of the good things that were done with this remaster induce some additional downsides, so rather than doing a point-by-point review, I think a, "Fixes this-but breaks this" review is needed.
The graphic overhaul (upgraded and up-res'd character, car, and item models) really does make the game look and feel more modern when compared to the Full Package version. However, the overhaul actually makes a lot of the character customizations (hair and clothes) feel plastic and oversized/under-detailed. Also, as others have mentioned, there are new texture maps for clothes which prevent many items from showing black, white, or lighter/darker color variants properly. Also, i have noticed a few items that were "shiny" in the original, but now have matte finishes that make them look dirty.
The frame rate and performance in game feel very smooth (see system specs above). However, cut scenes suffer from low frames, poor syncing, and excessive blurriness.
was really hoping this game would run good and give volition a second chance. Sadly this game just is below 30 fps in cutscenes and looks straight up awful. The lip syncing is terrible and characters look really washed out. The fps ingame itself is very inconsistent, usually caping itself at 50 - 60 fps. Nvidia cards have a fix and for AMD it sometimes works to unlock the fps but it usually go right back to 50 or something.
The game itself actually looks decent while playing it however, i will admit that, but in no other way is this a remaster, its a downgrade. You are honestly better off playing the original.
