Saints Row: The Third PC Features and Specs

The Saints Row: The Third Website celebrates All Saints Day with an outline of PC-specific features in the upcoming open world action sequel, saying: "Saints Row: The Third on PC is not a port, and it's our goal here at Volition to prove that to our PC fans. We hope you enjoy the game when it releases to the public on November 15th!"

Word is: First up, the Steam version of Saints Row: The Third will feature the Saints Video Record Mode, allowing you to record and save your most over-the-top gameplay clips, which you are free to share on social media sites and of course right here on SaintsRow.com. And if you’re a true cinephile, you can switch off the HUD and showcase your cheerleader assassin character in all her unblemished glory. Post launch, the PC version will receive exclusive customization options, including oversized bobblehead masks of characters from your favorite non-THQ online shooter, Valve’s Team Fortress 2. They’re free, so Strap Them On! Stay tuned for more details in the future. Meanwhile, the game's Steam page offers system requirements (thanks Destructoid). Here are those:

I don't care how the game looks - these play better on console.....same with GTA. I will probably (AGAIN) end up buying on both platforms though....

You realize that you can plug gamepads into your PC, right? Or hook up your PC to your TV if you insist on using your couch? And you can do both these things while getting more than twice the framerate of the console versions and higher screen resolutions, higher-res textures, higher AA, higher AF, mod support, etc. So no, "these" games don't play better on console. No multiplatform title plays better on consoles unless the PC port is a total abomination.

Yes, exactly. These freezes and the controls were horrible. Made the game much harder than it should have been whereas I had no such problems when playing Saints Row 2.

Except you could easily fix the freezes with some cfg tweaking and the controls were only problematic for the minigames, which comprised maybe 3% of the game. SR2's performance and stability issues affected everything and could not be fixed or avoided.
