    There's no demo on any system. The Initiation Station is the demo.

    Yeah, according to the slip in the Double Pack (Containing platinum hits version of both SR games), the Initiation Station let's you customize your own character and show it online before the game is released. I guess they can use the characters to prove how creative some of their players are.

    Yeah. I know that. I'm just saying, I'd like to have a PC version of the initiation station so I can at least get a ballpark of being able to run the game, I.E: "Welp. Not even the character creator'll run. No way in a million years I'm running this game"

    The Initiation Station comes out when I am going to be on vacation. I bet Nov 1 is for the people who pre-ordered or bought or whatever it was that Red Faction game, and the rest of us will get the Station a week before the game.

    My biggest problem is that my boss is always in a suit.

    So I hope there's a wider selection of suits.

    I've learned to take those with a grain of salt at all times. Some games with similar specs, I can run. Others, I cant.

    Did anyone else catch this?

    So, SR3 continues to look awesome. The guns look fun, the vehicles look fun, melee combat looks fun. There are a bazillion things you can do at the plastic surgeon, there are apparently hundreds of clothing combinations-- but I think I only see three sections there. I don't read or speak French, but I think things were divided into tops, bottoms and shoes. This is probably some custom debug demonstration version or something-- I doubt all of these clothes are available at Let's Pretend--so I hope this is just something related to that.

    If the clothes are better put together, this isn't a big deal, but it limits choice, which kind of stinks.

    Oh, I cannot wait for the release of this game. So much awful, terrible, and sociopathic joy will be had.

    @DouglasDanger I'm pretty sure those are the broad categories. We've seen videos that include more clothing options than that.


    Have we seen multiple layers of tops though? Something like undershirt, shirt, jacket, all selected separately? Several of the tops in that vid have separate layers, such as sweater and jacket, but they are selected together as one package, such as the halter top and headphones the player puts their Boss in.

  • DouglasDangerDouglasDanger PennsylvaniaRegistered User regular
    Yes, Drez, it did, but it was mostly costumes or costume pieces like crowns and hard hats and scrubs and hot dog suits and stuff.

    I will be really disappointed if they scaled the clothing layers back.

  • DouglasDangerDouglasDanger PennsylvaniaRegistered User regular

    Some of the things you could do with layered tops in SR2 looked good-- t-shirt and track jacket, t-shirt, with or without dress shirt and blazer-- but most of the other options looked silly.

    I guess we will have to wait and see! The wait keeps getting shorter...

    There is now a registration page for the Initiation Station-- and it includes PC
    http://www.saintsrow.com/rfa
    So those with persecutory delusions can relax.

    But there's none of those services has any downloads like that.

    Word on the street is 11/1 for RFA preorders and a week later for everyone.

    This PDF mini magazine/ad says there are 56 missions. And it doesn't seem to be counting activities, because those are discussed separately.

    Anyone know of a mirror to the video? My google fu is weak so far.

    Okay, I've been trying to contain my excitement for this game, but I want it so bad right now. I haven't been this hyped for a game since Oblivion, and that ended up disappointing me greatly. Saints Row the Third has healed that wound.

    Oh neat, we all get access to it before SR3 launches? Coooool. I thought only those Red Faction and Doublepack guys got access to it before SR3.

    I bought SR2 Greatest Hits on the PS3 about 5 weeks ago (from EB Games if it matters), and there was an early access pass to the station included.

    The second time I bought it, but as much as I've played it recently, that's not wasted money.

    You've been posting a lot of hilariously fat characters - is there a stick figure setting at the other end of the scale, or does it bottom out at relatively normal human proportions?
