Salut, après une petite visite sur le forum officiel de Saints Row, ou les modérateurs font partis de l´équipe de dev. Volition, voila ce que l´un des membres de Volition rapporte, directement tiré du "Press Release":
THQ announced Saints Row 2, using Volition proprietary open-world engine, Saints Row 2 will offer vastly expanded customization options, a totally transformed and expanded city of Stilwater, all new vehicles, sandbox tools and toys as well as both online co-op and competitive multiplayer.
"Saints Row set the bar for next-gen open-world development, earning praise for its unmatched customization, controls, and the genre´s first-ever online multiplayer," said Scott Guthrie, executive vice president, THQ. "The team at Volition, Inc. is leveraging invaluable experience gained on Saints Row to build Saints Row 2 into a game that sets the standard for combat, player freedom, customization, vehicle game-play, team-based co-op and the most compelling online open world experience to date."
"Saints Row 2 has a much darker and more sinister story that leads your character down a path of betrayal, revenge and redemption against the city that has left him for dead, although we´ve blended that with the same light-hearted humor from the original," said Greg Donovan, lead producer, Volition, Inc. "Couple that with the most robust open-world feature set ever developed in the genre, and Saints Row 2 promises a gaming experience that will offer players the perfect balance of gripping narrative and compelling gameplay options."
Saints Row 2 is set years after the original Saints Row(TM) in a Stilwater both familiar and strange. The explosive conclusion to Saints Row has left the player wounded, betrayed and thirsty for revenge, and now it´s time to take back the city that has forgotten him. A sequel to the first open-world title on next-generation consoles, Saints Row 2 features all new customization options, including gender, age, voice, crib and gang customization. The sandbox just got larger with a totally transformed and expanded city of Stilwater, offering all new locations to explore with new vehicles, including motorcycles, boats, helicopters and planes. Saints Row 2 will be playable online in 2-player co-op through the entire single-player campaign or in the all new open-world competitive multiplayer mode never before seen in the genre.
Developed by THQ internal studio Volition, Inc., Saints Row 2 is anticipated to be available for the Xbox 360 and PS3 in 2008.
