Saints Row: The Third Trailer; Lots of DLC Planned

[Sep 08, 2011, 8:29 pm ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

This trailer shows off vehicle improvements in Saints Row: The Third (thanks PC Gamer). Also, VentureBeat has quotes from the Cloud Gaming USA conference where THQ CEO Brian Farrell talked about offering 40 weeks worth of DLC for the third installment in their open-world action series: "We totally change how we keep consumer engaged for a very long time," Farrell said. "We intend to create an online digital ecosystem that keeps them interested for a year or more." He also comments on their previous efforts at long-term monetization with the cancelled Company of Heroes Online and the poor-selling MX vs ATV Live, saying: "We experiment, but pioneers get arrows in their backs."

Creston Yeah these pre launch DLC announcements always leave a bad taste, and make you suspect they're holding things back. But I do believe it's actually possible for a developer to provide more than enough content in the retail release, while having DLC ready day one. If so we don't really have much to complain about. It all depends on if they deliver.
