Saints Row 2 Easter Egg Contest

Mattze — Thu, 23 Jul 2009 07:57:00 +0000

The official Saints Row site is giving away a whole load of swag to anyone that can find one of the yet undiscovered Saints Row 2 easter eggs.

1. Your task is to find one specific Easter Egg which was planted into the game by a member of the development team. As of this point in time, I have never seen it documented, and I’ve looked at a ton of forums and YouTube videos. There are a LOT of Easter Eggs within Saints Row 2, but we’re looking for a very specific one. Not that this is not a glitch, this is something that was programmed into the game.

2. You have two weeks to look for and document the specific Easter Egg. If it has not been documented after the first week, I will begin to give out hints as to where to find it.

3. If you believe you have found the specific Easter Egg in question, post a comment in the thread below. Your post can contain any combination of text, pictures, or video. As long as you tell us what the exact Easter Egg is, along with the details surrounding how you found it or how you accomplished it, you can win. I will be following the thread and will try to keep running documentation in the first post with regard to what has been found already.

4. If no one documents the specific Easter Egg after two weeks time (by Noon CST on August 5th), the prize package will be given out to a random community member which has posted an Easter Egg in the comment thread. We will also provide a video on that date showcasing the specific Easter Egg.

I should point out that I know of at least three Easter Eggs which have not been documented as of this news posting. We’re looking for just one out of those three, but if the other two are found, I’ll figure out some sort of prize for those winners as well.

The prizes, as shown above, are as follows;

SR2 Poster
SR2 Basketball Jersey (Size XL)
SR2 Tie
SR2 License Plate Frame
SR2 USB Gold Bullet (I believe it’s the 1 GB model)
SR2 T-Shirt (Any size you’d like and comes with the V logo on the front)
SR2 Temporary Tattoos
SR1 Bandana

Saints Row PSP Confirmed By Opeth?

Mattze — Mon, 20 Jul 2009 10:58:00 +0000

Swedish metal band Opeth have announced, via their blog, that their track 'Lotus Eater' will be appearing in a new PSP game called Saints Row.

We may not like playing video games all that much but we do like it when our music is featured on them! Makes us a bit proud even when it's a game as big as Saints Row for the PSP and even prouder when the nice developer people show excellent taste by picking "The Lotus Eater" for it. So if you love playing video games: the game is expected to hit the streets around March 2010.

If this is in fact true then we should be hearing something official from Volition very soon.

The Saints Row 2 PC trailer has been released throughout North, South and Central America and will be in Europe on January 23rd and Australia on February 5th. The full-size video can be found on YouTube.

Saints Row 2 PC Released

Mattze — Wed, 7 Jan 2009 09:33:03 +0000

Saints Row 2 PC has been released in stores throughout North America today, however, Steam version of the game is not currently available due to technical problems. We are assured that this hitch will not stop users from validating their copy of Saints Row 2 through the Steam client, in order to play the game.

Saints Row 2 PC Setup Guide

Mattze — Tue, 6 Jan 2009 09:58:52 +0000

The official Saints Row 2 blog have released a guide to setting up Saints Row 2 on your PC.

Step 1: Check your video card drivers. (FREE)

I can’t tell you how many people forget to do this, and then wonder why a specific game won’t run properly. Remember that you need to meet our requirements to play the game, or you’ll run into issues. You can find the minimum and recommended requirements HERE. There are many video cards out there, but the best way to update your card is to head to the official websites for each manufacturer. If you do not know what card you have, there are a few ways to find out.

The easiest way is begin by clicking on “Start” >> “Settings” >> “Control Panel”. Now, double click on the “System” icon, then select the “Hardware” tab at the top, followed by “Device Manager”. A new window will pop up, and you should open up the “Display adapters” section. Right there should be the manufacturer and model number of your video card.

NVIDIA owners, head HERE.
ATI owners, head HERE.

Follow the instructions on their website, and the proper selections will allow you to download the appropriate drivers for your system. You will have to restart your system for the changes to take effect.

Step 2: Download Steam and create an account. (FREE)

As has been stated within our forums, you will need to verify that you own a copy of Saints Row 2 PC through Steam. An internet connection is required for this initial verification, but after that you will have the option to “Play Offline”, unless you want to play Co-Op or Multiplayer.

You can download Steam by clicking HERE. Look for the green box on the left side which states “Get Steam Now - Free Download”.

Once installed, you will need to follow their instructions and create a unique username and password.

Step 3: (For Multiplayer/Co-Op) - Download GameSpy and create an account. (FREE)

If you never plan on playing Multiplayer, you will not need to have a GameSpy account. If you do plan on accessing multiplayer, just like with Steam above, you will need to download and install GameSpy so that you can grab the server browser software being used by SR2. GameSpy can be downloaded for free HERE.

Choose the “Ad Supported” selection for the free version. Just like with Steam, you will need to create a unique UserID and Password. I recommend using a different password than you did for Steam, for a little added security.

Merry Christmas

Just a quick note to wish all those who celebrate Chrsitmas a Merry one. Take care & all the best from all of us at Codename!

Final Badges of the Week

Foxtrot — Wed, 3 Dec 2008 21:37:33 +0000

This week Volition present the long awaited "Arr..." badge. Many people know that to unlock the badge, you would've had to play Saints Row 2 on September 19th, otherwise known as International Talk Like a Pirate Day. With the game being released on October 14th instead of our initial date of August 26th, this badge was far from reach for players who wanted to collect them all, so our team went to work.

Think back to when you play FUZZ in Saints Row 2. What happens during filming for "Battle of the Century"? Pirates versus Ninjas engaged in an amazing battle to the death, which is where the idea for a second way of obtaining the "Arr..." badge was born. I hope to see all of you online December 5th, otherwise known as "Day of the Ninja", to pick up your badge.

Arr... - Play a multiplayer match on December 5th (Day of the Ninja).

Pimp - Play 20 matches.

Famitsu Reviews Saints Row 2 & Japan Release

Mattze — Tue, 2 Dec 2008 17:09:10 +0000

Those who have heard of Famitsu will know they are notorious for controversial and highly critical reviews, so it is a testament to Saints row 2 (or should I say Seintsu Rou 2) that they awarded the game 35 out of 40.

For those interested the game will be released in Japan on the 4th of December for Xbox360 and PS3 platforms.

Community Spotlight

20 Things "Dan Hsu" loves about Saints Row

Mattze — Tue, 11 Nov 2008 12:56:39 +0000

Dan "Shoe" Hsu runs a blog called SoreThumbs and he has written an entry with 20 things he loves about Saints Row 2. They probably aren't my personal favorites but hey, each to their own! To take a few examples from the list;

No need to lose the cops before entering the “Forgive” station to wipe away your wanted level. Less realistic, sure, but less frustrating, too.
Lots of mid-mission checkpoints. Thank you.
Incredible amount of character customization options. My pal Kathleen Sanders ripped up Stilwater with Margaret Cho, while I busted caps with an Ali G lookalike.
Your customized character is integrated perfectly in the cutscenes. Leads to many hilarious situations if you have the right costumes on.
A metric shitload of clothing options, thanks to all the clothes stores around the city, including lingerie and costume shops in Stilwater’s giant mall. You can change patterns on shirts, add patches to hats, or dress up like a paintball player, a sexy cat, or a day-glo ninja. It’s up to you.

As usual, great stuff. Head on over to SoreThumbs to read the full article.

2 Million Copies of Saints Row 2 Shipped

Mattze — Thu, 6 Nov 2008 09:08:46 +0000

Kotaku are reporting that THQ has shipped 2 million copies of Saints Row 2. As we all know Saints Row 2 is a bit of an underdog in the GTA v Saints Row battle but if you read some of the comments on Kotaku's news post you will see some interesting opinions. I haven't had a chance to write a GTAIV - Saints Row 2 comparison yet, but just glancing at some of the comments we can see that Saints Row 2 is building itself quite a following.

Saints Row 2 PC Ship Date & Details

Mattze — Wed, 29 Oct 2008 13:00:04 +0000

PS3 and Xbox360 owners have been playing Saints Row 2 for almost 2 weeks now, while PC owners have been left wanting. Well the PC version now has a release date; January 6th 2009. The reason for the delay is due to perfecting the game, which is essentially a console port, however, don't let that put you off, the game is set to be of exceptionally high quality, more so than that of the console versions. Below is a summary of what we can expect from the PC version;

Highest quality game across all platforms
The game is a port of the console version from an external company
The PC version is still being produced and tested at Volition with support from the design and programming teams as needed.
360 controller will be fully supported for PC play, you will also be able to map your keyboard / mouse controls as you see fit.
There will also be a small interface change for Multiplayer. The PC version requires a little more information when connecting through a server browser. You'll now see each player's Ping, the number of players in a specific match, match names, and the ability to sort by modes (360/PS3 has this as well, but they have to create a party first).
A final addition for the PC version is adjustable video settings for aspects such as anti-aliasing, resolution, and more.

Saints Row 3 Development Already Started

Mattze — Wed, 29 Oct 2008 10:05:32 +0000

I'm sure many of you must of thought I'd jumped the gun a little with creating a Saints Row 3 section a few weeks ago so I thought that I should perhaps explain myself; a few weeks ago Dan Sutton had an interview with Play.tm where he discussed the face that Saints Row 3 development had already started and that the series would be taking a "new direction".

Although I posted the new article I didn't really make a big deal out of it, however, it seems that this news is getting a little more coverage now so I thought I would make a feature of it.

MSXbox-World.com interview Scott Phillips

Mattze — Thu, 16 Oct 2008 10:18:45 +0000

MSXbox-World.com have an interesting interview with Saints Row 2's lead developer; Scott Phillips. They talk a little about the original, features of the upcoming game and little about the future but all-in-all it's worth a look.

Q: Can the game steal any of GTA's thunder?

A: We feel that Saints Row 2 is an extremely strong competitor to every game out on the market place. The huge amount of variety, amazing gameplay and combat, unparalleled customization, and the best ever Open World Co-op make Saints Row 2 an extremely compelling and enjoyable game. Those features are just a very few of the enormous set that Saints Row 2 delivers and we can't wait for fans to get their hands on it.

Saints Row 2 PC?

Mattze — Mon, 13 Oct 2008 16:34:05 +0000

Before I fell in love with all things Xbox 360 I was dead-set on purchasing Saints Row 2 for the PC. Over the past few months most of the Saints Row 2 buzz has related to either the PS3 or Sbox 360 versions of the game, and it wasn't until I read an article on StrategyInformer that I realised the PC version isn't due out this Friday (17th October 2008).

When StrategyInformer asked THQ, they were told;

“The PC version hasn't actually been dated at all so I can't actually comment on whether or not it has been delayed or not.”.

A bit of a shame for PC users, especially if you dont own a Xbox 360 or a PS3.
