Hahaha! Not satisifed with GTAIII I guess? I ask you what, besides prettier graphics is the difference between this and any of the last 4 GTA games??? It looks like it plays EXACTLY the same! Nothing new in terms of gameplay or controls or anything--just a fresh coat of paint. Boring....
 
I'll admit that it looks nice and seems to play ok. But it's a complete rip of GTA. Since it's a first in the series it'll probably take a sequel before they get the gameplay better/equal to GTA.

Personally I'd sue though :p. I think that Simpson Road Rage game was sued for being like Crazy Taxi.

Could you honestly tell me how they could make a car-jacking game without it being a 'rip' of GTA? I'd really like to hear it.

lol, i don't know.. gta 1/2 was just awesome, than 3 came along which seemed 'meh' and don't get me started on gta iv, or san adreas, whatever that rubbish is called; i totally bailed on gta after 2.

it looks like it has new gameplay elements though i haven't played the latest gta enough so some may be in the latest gta.

i don't know, i think i'll get forget about this too after i play it, it might just be too lame (vulgar, mindless and so on).

oh well. :eek:

The Getaway and Driver are both labeled as clone to the GTA series but unique in their own way (especially the original Getaway, one of my favorite games). edit: Almost forgot, The Mafia qualifies as well! (Also one of my favorite games)

Meh? :| To each their own I suppose, but if you switch the camera to the top-down view it's very much like 1/2 except being in 3d. GTA IV isn't made yet, I think you meant Vice City which was a stop gap. I liked it, I love the scarface influence it had and having Ray Liotta, the guy from Goodfellas voice it was a great touch IMO.

If you didn't like GTA:SA then odds are you won't like this, since Saints Row is just about as close as a cloned game can get. I agree that SA was meh, I thought it was by far the worst in the series. It's a shame too since they had some good voice talent gone to waste.
 
Im happy it's a clone of gta...I dont see why its bad that a vary good game (gta) is being cloned,that should just mean that saints row will be vary good to!.

Wow... I'm not that crazy about Saints Row (just not my sort of game) but those new Dark Messiah videos are f*cking amazing D:

yup, i meant vice city. :x

i don't know, i feel a bit different about this, but it may just be that i haven't played -any- gta game in quite some time.

i'll rent it when it's released and see if it's 'buy worthy.' :)
 
So everyone knows, most of the features you see in Saint's Row that are "copies" off of San Andreas were decided a full year before San Andreas came out, in 2003.

I agree, GTA should have been a watered down cheap imitation of iteslf.

This game is despicable, what they've done is about as close to gameplay/style plagiarism as you can get in a game. On top of that, it looks significantly worse that the current gen GTA titles in terms of features (not to mention Rockstar North is an infinitely more talented developer than Volition).

Sure it's not the first clone, but it is the most blatant and probably one of the worst. The Driver series had already done a 3D city with on foot roaming and car jacking before GTA3, and focuses entirely on awesome car chases. The Getaway was really a third person shooter with a whole extra element of licensed cars and a near perfect London to add to the atmosphere. True Crime was a shitty game but still differentiated itself a lot from GTA. Mercenaries only used the basic framework and changed everything else.

This game is a knock-off GTA. It doesn't even deserve to be called a clone, it's a knock-off, a cheap imitation designed to fool customers. And to the comment that they already made all these design decisions that happen to be identical to San Andreas a year before it came out ... that's called PR bullshit.

There is multiplayer? That will be odd. This game does look amazing. Being a wizard looks like so much fun.
 
yeah,the wizard looks like fun to play,they seem to have taken alot of ideas from other games and turned them into spells like the spell where you can lift people like the grav gun,or the spell where you can shrink people like the gun outa that game...eh,whatever it was called..
the warrior looks like fun to!
 
I wont even watch the video is protest of this apparent plagiarism.
 
Im not exactly crying over it but them trying to make money off grand theft autos success isnt something i want to support by buying or even taking an interest in this game, even if it turns out to be a good game.

Throughout your entire life, there will be rip-offs of NUMEROUS things. What about the Call of Duty series? Can't you say most WW2 FPSes copy this game? I'm just saying no matter what everyone will copy something. Like someone posted earlier though, this game's features were set in stone before the release of GTA:SA. If you are really that deep into your protest, just think of this game as GTAIV.
 
CoD did a better job though.

Same applies to Saint's Row. Whose to say Saint's Row won't do a better job than San Andreas? Exactly.
 
So is this going to be coming to PC at all or shall I just go back to waiting for Just Cause?

MAFIA. And that game was better than GTA, IMO.

The change in time period voids that. I'm talking about games set within the last couple of decades, as in modern times.
 
Im looking forward to playing the demo of this on the 1st of august,that should hold me down till the full game is out.

Voids that? :| On what basis?

There's also The Getaway and Driver series, which follows the genre but are actually recognizable as different games rather than direct clones of GTA.

That game was very poor quality compared to GTA3. At least it was better than "True Crime"
 
I cannot believe how unabashed this game is about being a GTA clone

Down to the minimap and the money people drop when you kill them, there is not one once of originality in this sucker.

In fact, this is not a GTA clone, it looks like a GTA mod.

Ah well, I'll still probably buy it when it comes out. *shrug*
 
I'm buying it just for the Ragdolls and newer graphics. Ohh and the sounds of the guns sound so much more realistic thats a +
 
Dunno about this game, It looks like GTA San Andreas with Driv3r graphics :)
 
I wonder if they have flyable airplanes and helicopters....I hope so.
