Worst. Teaser. Ever.

So this time the entire game takes place at a rave?

GTA VI will be better

Saints Row 2. Game most likely to be pushed on you by a Gamestop employee after he tells you GTA4 is sold out and you should have reserved. Also game most likely to be purchased by your mom or grandma in a vain hope of appearing cool and getting you that "Grand Auto Row" game youve been talking about.

@ZeroGinc: Its only April but this is officially the understatement of the year. COngrats.

Now that is really damn annoying!

What did I just see? I have no idea.

That's the worse game I've ever seen. I wasn't sure before, but after that trailer, I'm not getting it.

@ZeroGinc: Lets worry about IV and V first eh?

Bad form, Volition.

That looks sooooooooooo bad!!!11!1!!111!!!

Mr. Gat? Seriously? You're sticking to that one, then?

Well it has Keith Daivd, that's a plus.

that sucked my anuus. High fivvee

The fist one sucked, and this one will too. Honestly, why do they even bother? GTA IV comes out in less than a month. Saint's Row 2 is going to be this biggest flop the world has ever seen.

@Modus_Operandi:

lol

I always thought that Saints Row was for rich suburban kids who listen to hip hop, think that they're "hard" and wish they were another race. Yeah ... you know what I'm talking about.

What the hell was that?

Next time you want to get me excited to play your game, THQ, show me a little bit of what it'd be like to play it. Thank you very much.

It'll be hard for them to compete with you know what coming out you know when.

All the best either way.

From this teaser I have learned that I am an organism with long black tentacles travelling through a dreamland. Possibly Purple-lens-flare-ville.

can i have anohter IV trailer instead plz kthnxbai

SECOND DUMBEST GAME EVER!

1. Super man (64)
2. This game!

Saints Row is a fun game, and I'm sure the second one will be too.

But it wasnt because of it's story I can tell you that. The story in Saints Row took itself a bit too seriously for it's own good, but the game was fun as hell.

Lookin forward SR2 but cmon, show us some gameplay.

The first was a shallow, crude and exploitative rip off, and I've no greater hopes for this one.

wow. have fun with that, suckers that'll buy that.

why would they put out a GTA clone (and a buggy, terrible one at that) A MONTH after GTA4?!?!?

"Dammit Shepard, I want you to bust those caps, finish the race and get those drugs outta here! The fate of the 'hood depends on you."

Oh and I think I heard David Duchovny in there too.

Uh, any of you 'mos remember THIS?

+ Watch video

Same concept, and I'm pretty sure most of you were pitching tents in your pants over it.

Yeah, I'm in the group of people who hated Saints Row. The problem wasn't the game being a GTA clone because most games are but they were so blatantly ripping off GTA that the game felt too phony and stale.

hey...I liked Saint's Row's story!! I was planning on buying SR2 but if this is all they got to show us for a trailer with the game coming out in a couple of months...I'm scared it's not going to be up to snuff. I wanted a HUGE graphical upgrade to the game. How can you not like a dude named Johnny Gat?!?!?

@dead_red_eyes: Completely different from say... GTA: San Andreas, right? :p

Seriously though, Saints Row is one of the better GTA clones out there. Gameplay-wise, at least. The story sucks out loud.

I seem to be in the minority, but I for one am looking forward to this game. SR1 was fun to play, and the plot was entertaining.

The argument that "If it's not GTA... it's crap." is bollocks.

As good as GTA will be, it won't last forever. After one to two months a lot of people will have already have finished GTA and will be looking for more. And apart from the DLC (which in itself will not likely extend the playtime of GTA to infinity) it will be time to buy a new game.

SR was fun to play, and GTA (easily a top ten franchise of all time) is not the first or last fun game to have come along.

I'm going to have to go along with so many other people that say this is the worst teaser ever. They should.. you know.. at least include something besides voice overs...
The WoW Molten Core console game for April Fools had a better trailer than this.

GTA is a great example of how far a brand and remarkable production values can carry an otherwise poorly designed product.

@ShaggE: - "Completely different from say... GTA: San Andreas, right?"

Indeed.

I liked Saints Row but the way GTAIV is lookin'... I just can't bring myself to care about this title. I will be amazed if it ends up being half as good as GTAIV and I thought aspects of the first one were comparable to previous GTA titles.

oh yeah... trailer sucked donkey balls.

I enjoyed Saints Row quite a bit. Sure it was a GTA rip, but it was a good GTA rip. Will this game be a contender with GTAIV? Absolutely not. But that doesn't mean it won't be a good game.

Wow and people criticized GTA IV for it's lack of in game shots and movies.

Sure the first game was a clone, but at least it was a clone that improved on GTA (aiming, weapon switching, driving, etc.) Hopefully Rockstar learned a few things from them.

Obviously the purpose of this teaser is just to keep the game in people's minds and let them know that the game is coming out. It would be stupid to show any gameplay footage now. People would just be comparing SR2's early look to GTAs almost finished graphics.

What the fuck?? That was awful.

Woah... That was basically a radio add with a light show. The dialog made it seem like some cheesy hardcore rap album interlude. No harm intended to the game, because I have no clue- But that ad was embarrassing.

I don't understand why companies release trailers with no gameplay. Even if it is a game I am highly looking forward to videos without gameplay just do not hold my interest.

I hate to admit it but i love Saints Row still play it from time to time. The custome creat a charactor is crazy detailed on SR2....Oh and tons of on-line wont hurt either.

What a waste of my precious thirty seconds...

Does...the player control one of those squiggly ribbons? I'm confused...

Eh, SR isn't atrocious. I mean yeah, who releases a crime game within a year of a new GTA, but it is kinda fun now and then.

So now gross overuse of After effects counts as a trailer, thats GREEAAAT.

Personally, I thought Saints Row 1 was fun as hell. I never finished any game in the GTA series because they just got boring after a while. I've put in over 80 hours on SR1, and I suspect I'll put in just as much (if not more) on SR2. I do hate seeing "teasers" without gameplay footage, which up until recently was my biggest complaint about GTA4, but that's not the studio's fault, that's just marketing (when are they ever going to learn?)

I don't understand why people can't buy both games though. Think about it, if SR1 hadn't come out and provided some true competition for GTA, GTA4 wouldn't be half the game it's shaping up to be (for one thing, I guarantee it wouldn't have multiplayer.) Besides, coop through the whole campaign in SR2 is going to be badass on an epic level.

Damnit,the PS3 and 360 version was cancelled then I guess.Oh well looks like this game is the one which will finally convince me to buy a radio.

Wow, this game must really suck if they can't show any video footage yet.

So from the comments, it seems that Saints Row just isn't a cool enough franchise to pull off a trailer like this.

Now, say Banjo-Kazooie had a 30 second, no gameplay trailer of just bear, bird and grunty grunts.... that would've probably gotten a little higher praise.

is keith david in every video game now?

must work cheap.

that had to be the lamest trailer ever.

ITT- people dont know what a teaser is.

Teasers, unlike typical theatrical trailers, are usually very short in length (between 30-60 seconds) and usually contain little if any actual footage from the film. /wiki
