    Saints Row: The Third Remastered the new remaster of Saints Row The Third is executed perfectly. Xbox One gamers get the deluxe treatment with carefully updates as in more detailed artwork, revamped lighting, a switch to physically based rendering, anti-aliasing and a profound improvement in overall performance.

Xbox One gamers get the deluxe treatment with carefully updates as in more detailed artwork, revamped lighting, a switch to physically based rendering, anti-aliasing and a profound improvement in overall performance. If you're gaming on Xbox One X, much of the game even plays out at 60fps. Just shy of a full-on remake, you aren't going to get a much better remaster than on offer. All of the new features delivered by Sperasoft for this new release are present and correct with the only notable differences coming from rendering resolution. The Xbox One operates at 1080p, while their enhanced equivalents bump the pixel count to 1440p. The game runs at a capped at a solid 30 frames per second, backed by a nice motion blur implementation that gives the impression of a very smooth level of performance overall. The options menu gives users the choice to remove the frame-rate cap, allowing the game to run as fast as it can. For the original Xbox One users in particular, it's not something recommend as the variance in frame-rate adds too much inconsistency to the gameplay experience. Xbox One X makes a pretty good fist of hitting the top-end 60fps, and can stay like that for extended periods of play time, with only a touch of dropped frames when the game is pushed really hard in certain lighting conditions. The default 30fps on its own is a huge improvement, and even when Xbox One dips beneath the target, it's still a gigantic improvement over the original game. Already, a compelling case is growing for a Saints Row The Third remaster purchase comprehensively addressing the original's frame rate challenges already makes it a better game to start with. Everything you need to know about the Saints Row The Third remaster in video form. There's a level of care and attention here that goes above and beyond expectations. I was immediately struck by how clean the game looks as Sperasoft uses temporal anti-aliasing and upscaling for a very stable and consistent presentation with very little shimmer. Then there are the content upgrades while the developer doesn't want to change the game as it's Saints Row The Third as it should have been. Going back to the original game today, it jut doesn't hold up. Environments are revamped with both primary and secondary characters possessing much more detail. The scenes are more dense, using more props. On top of that, there are more cars and people wandering the city streets which is another way overall density is improved. Vehicles remade, weapons improved, particle effects are better, with improved lighting. The remastered lighting system looks immensely improved with an impressive HDR implementation. Suffice to say, it's still Saints Row The Third, but with a full revamp that ensures that the game looks good on modern displays while importing a huge array of today's tech that aid in retaining the feel of the original game while bringing it up to date. Add in the impressive performance modes and it's pretty much the complete package. Saints Row The Third as a game is superb fun and it's a game that deserves the care and attention it has received and perhaps this kind of technological and monetary investment is indicative of efforts to re-invigorate the franchise? If you've never played the original you're in for a real treat on your Xbox One. If you have played the original you will definitely enjoy revisiting, especially if you are gaming on the Xbox One X.… Expand

    Saints Row le Troisième du nom figure décidément parmi les meilleurs jeux du genre "GTA" mais aussi le meilleur au sein même de la franchise avec bien entendu Saints Row IV son fidèle et toujours délirant successeur ! "délirant" est ce qui caractérise le mieux ce SR3 qui prend ses distances avec tout sérieux, réalisme et tout ce qui rend les jeux Rocktare, Rosquetare, Rockretard, RocktarteSaints Row le Troisième du nom figure décidément parmi les meilleurs jeux du genre "GTA" mais aussi le meilleur au sein même de la franchise avec bien entendu Saints Row IV son fidèle et toujours délirant successeur ! "délirant" est ce qui caractérise le mieux ce SR3 qui prend ses distances avec tout sérieux, réalisme et tout ce qui rend les jeux Rocktare, Rosquetare, Rockretard, Rocktarte enfin tout ce qui rend le "GTA" chiant, pénible et lourdingue par définition !

    SR3 est donc drôle dans tous ses excès, car à la fois provocateur, souvent vulgaire, sévèrement sexué (sexuel ?) avec toutes ces filles plus ou moins dévêtues, tous ces strings et ces mini-jupes de putes, on s'étonne que la brigade féminazie et du politiquement correct ne soit pas montée au créneau ! c'est que le héros peut aussi être une héroïne (non, pas de transgenre ici, juste le choix du sexe... merde, les LGBTRGJSJFGKDFFBFGGGTQ vont donc -aussi- venir nous casser les couilles...!) le héros disais-je ou l'héroïne permet ainsi de rendre la justice avec un large choix de vêtements et de massacrer tout ce qui passe et dépasse dans cet éloge du grand n'importe quoi, ce panégyrique de la racaille avec un grand R, cette satire permanente qu'on en croit pas nos yeux, régulièrement !

    Tout ici est améliorable, boostable via des compétences et des trucs et des machins pour vous rendre au fur et à mesure la vie de plus en plus facile et agréable jusqu'à finir invulnérable ou presque (!) surarmé comme c'est pas permis, munitions infinies (sans cheat code, non, non !) bref tout ce qu'il faut pour mettre une pagaille monstre et semer la terreur chez vos ennemis, lesquels sont très cons et aiment décidément trop se manger des pruneaux et des roquettes dans la gueule comme s'il n'y avait pas de lendemain !

    Très jouable comme TPS donc, iinterface générale bien pensée et en dehors de la campagne complètement frappadingue, un tas d'activités bien délirantes pour ne pas dire définitivement tarées...! Alors les defauts étaient rares même en 2011 comme l'absence de voix françaises ou le bruit des moteurs qui tournent en boucle (accélération perpétuelle !). Un ou deux bugs graphiques peut-etre et dans ce remaster un plantage vers le bureau... en une quarantaine d'heures, c'est tolérable, ma foi.

    C'est évidemment graphiquement que ce Remaster envoit vraiment la purée : le jeu est devenu (presque) méconnaissable sans pour autant s'affirmer comme un poids lourd du "monde ouvert" en 2020, n'exagérons rien...il revient de loin, il faut dire ce SR3, car en 2011, il figurait parmi les jeux les plus moches qu'on ait jamais vus...! et ici il est enfin très joli, très mignon même, un jeu tout-à-fait pinable et d'ailleurs les personnages féminins sont toujours bien agréables à regarder (sauf dans les cinématiques où bizarrement les proportions du visage de son personnage créé sont étranges).

    Nouvelle gestion de la lumière très réussie, effets méteo, textures revues, bidules et machins remodélisés et j'en passe et des meilleures ; sur la X on a droit à du 1440p très propret et un 30 im/s très stable même quand c'est un bordel monstreux à l'écran ; l'option "60" ne tient pas la distance hélas à l'instar d'un Witcher... 3 par exemple. Paye ton processeur de tablette dans les mondes ouverts, quoi !

    En tout cas, drôle, divertissant, très excessif et enfin très présentable, le Saints Row numéro 3 a gagné ses lettres de noblesse avec ce beau remaster qui ne se fout pas de nous ! du beau travail en vérité pour un jeu qui le méritait depuis longtemps.    … Expand

    Quite interesting game play. Diverse cars and flights. But limited weapons. Graphic is not that fantastic. The price is still expensive

    On a technical level, the game is pretty decent. I was playing on an Xbox One X with the framerate setting unlocked and managed a pretty smooth 60 most of the time.

    A terrific remaster of the best Saints game that includes all the DLC. Updates have fixed many of the glitches that were prevalent on launch. This is one of the enjoyable GTA clones ever made. It's certainly more fun than challenging. And the non-stop silly humor is often quite funny. This is a must play for fans of Xbox 360-era open-world action titles. I would rate this with an 8.1 out of 10.

    A sort of stupid game, that seems like sort of a stupid GTA clone, but that I found stupidly fun! The game knows exactly what it is & what it aims for, and delivers that very well.

    Difficulty-wise the game is very doable, with the exception of some missions (which I won't spoil). There are some bugs here & there, which may hang the game or make it impossible to complete a mission.

But as missions do not take that long to begin with, I could get over that negative pretty easy.

    Bonus points for the character editor & the whole appearance system, as the game allows you to pretty much look any way you want, and does not mark clothing (and the like) as being only for men or only for women. You do you, and have fun doing that :-)
    And bonus points for the excellent soundtrack options as well.    … Expand

    An amazing remaster that makes the game look and feel new and fresh without removing the games wacky charm.

    Saints Row: The Third Remastered is one of the most impressive guilty pleasures - one that also manages to be much more clever than it presents itself. All DLC is included, and the overall experience is polished to a mirror-like sheen. Anyone who initially wrote off Saints Row: The Third as a insipid Grand Theft Auto knock-off, might want to give it another chance. There is more going on than just being a simple third-person sandbox action game.

    There’s no debating it though – this remaster is the best way to play Saints Row 3. Those who haven’t experienced the insanity of beating a pedestrian up with a 3 foot dildo can do so on an Xbox One or PS4 for the first time. Whether a visual upgrade will be enough to warrant a double dip for returning players however will be up to your individual taste.
