First Saints Row: The Third trailer is practical joke

Man punches balls. The end.

So that Saints Row 3 trailer you'll have been waiting for... it's out but it's barely worth the effort.

The video is 37 seconds long - one second of that is of the game. No, we're not joking about. But THQ clearly is.

0:37 Teaser Trailer

Saints Row: The Third Screenshot
If you can be bothered, check it out at Game Informer. Or just check out some screenshots recently, which actually do show something worth seeing.

The first batch of Saints Row: The Third screenshots came a couple of days ago and featured the ever pleasant, hopefully not too painful Sex Toy Bat.

Have a look at all the Saints Row: The Third details we have so far if you haven't already.

    Well in the words of Randall from scrubs "That's a real punch in the crotch" i was looking forward to this trailer and got once again told to not get my hopes up. Sigh.

    Well I'd admit I chuckled a bit when I saw the second of gameplay but then immediately felt terrible for doing so.

    And really the more I see of this game the less I like it which is a shame 'cause I like the first 2 a lot.

    The 2nd game was more crass than the 1st so Volition probably thought: "Hey!, if we keep turning up the crass knob (he he!) we'll get more sales!"

    And I don't much care for it, but prove me wrong!

    It looks like a PS2 game. Rockstar need not worry.

    This is the best worst trailer ever made.

    If you know what I mean :?

    Th trailer is about as s**te as the first game was. I never got the second one on that basis.

    I was expecting something worse - I did almost smirk. But the drip feeding of nothing for this game is now starting to annoy me. It seems this joke is more laughing at us than with us. if they carry on like this, I might just not bother getting the game. The few screens I've seen have shown it to be looking rubbish anyway. I'm getting less and less enthused.

    That was brilliant. Loved the trailer!! For once it looks like marketing people have NOT been involved.

    I've read the preview of SR3 in PSM3 and it does sound like it will be a good laugh to play but i just couldn't get into the previous game so it's all down to a demo for me.

    Heh, love it!
    How is this NOT an awesome trailer? :)

    I think I'm annoyed as they have announced the game, then denied they had announced it so announced it again, then released screens - which were just cover art. etc. etc.

    The gameplay shown here is just a tease too far really. I'm getting fed up of being excited. and the screens they have shown just hasn't inspired me either. If this trailer was the only tease they had done, I'd probably be more forgiving.

    I know! That single second of gameplay made this game, oooh, about 300% more excited about it! Still not sure I'll buy it but if c*ck punching is a staple part of the game I may be tempted! heehee

    Game Informer featured The Third on it's cover this month. They only seemed to have good things to say about the game. I will admit SR2 had major issues graphically compared to it's predecessor(it looks like the brightness is turned up to high in it and framerate was terrible), but I really enjoyed the way the game just takes the p*ss out of itself so much. Its a game to have FUN with. One more thing, I do hope the english guy(he was in The Bard as well) whom voiced the second game returns as a choice for the Third's protagonist. THWho should keep him on for this one. YE...WO WO WO WO WO.
