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. Other highlights include AMD Eyefinity support, DX9, DX10, and DX11 support, Crossfire enabled, SLI enabled, advanced depth of field, reflections, and ambient occlusion quality, and, of course, God Rays. They?re free, so Strap Them On! Stay tuned for more details in the future. 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.
And if you?re a true cinephile, you can switch off the HUD and showcase your cheerleader assassin character in all her unblemished glory.
Today though, since we're continuing "All Saints Day", we felt it was time to share some reasons why the PC version of Saints Row: The Third is worth your purchase.įirst 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. With Saints Row: The Third though, we've taken all of the development of the PC version in-house, so that the PC version will be at the same level of playability as the console versions. Enjoy.Īs many of our PC fans are probably aware, the Saints Row 2 port on PC could've been a lot better. Most importantly, however, the PC release lets you use a mouse and keyboard, giving you a perfect opportunity to crow about how superior a method of input they are, much to the chagrin of resentful console peasants everywhere. The Steam version also provides you with Team Fortress 2 themed bobble heads for your in game avatar. There's a record mode, which lets you record in game footage and upload it to a media service of your choice. It also boasts support for SLI and Crossfire configurations, as well as the ludicrous testament to technical opulence that is AMD Eyefinity. So what does the game have for PC gamers with the right kit? Advanced depth of field, proper reflections, ambient occlusion, actual HD resolutions and high-end anti-aliasing. This goes double for a Saints Row game, considering how much of a massive, resource-hogging monstrosity the PC port of Saints Row 2 was.
optimistic when it comes to system requirements, so if you're just barely meeting the requirements you may want to consider the console version, or perhaps an upgrade or two. Now, anyone who's worth their PC gaming salt knows that developers and publishers can be a little.
