Reuters is reporting that Volition's Saints Row 2 (PS3, X360) has been delayed. Originally scheduled for an August 26 release, the open-world action game sequel is now expected October 14. The delay can be attributed to "product quality and marketing considerations", with THQ executive Bob Aniello noting "Product quality is a huge driver of a game's success and this move allows us to polish the game. The game is done, it's about polish."

Why the fuck is Volition making a GTA clone? Why doesn't THQ have them made a spiritual sequel to the Freespace games? It saddens me that one of my favorite developers is related to just making things like this. Or it is because everything needs to be consolized nowadays that we don't see any more great games like Freespace.

While some of it is moot now with GTA IV, the original Saint's Row had a lot of improvements to the formula, for starters both shooting and driving felt better and were easier to do. Also, if you failed a mission it would start at the beginning of the mission not where you had to drive ten minutes to get there again.

Plus, a lot of things that GTA is getting praised for now was directly ripped off from Saint's Row, like the cell phone and the waypoint system on the map. Hell, there was even a billboard for a internet company called "Tw@". Plus, I personally found the story more engaging.

Thus, I'm looking forward to the sequel going further into making a less-frustrating version of GTA once again.

My prediction: a delay to make Gary Busey the main character. Months of modelling, animating and voice acting. Public demand was overwhelming.
