Attacking GTA:IV so directly shows balls. And I agree with their sentiment of prefering mass chaos over bowling and darts.

Cool! And where'd you get the inspiration for Saints Row, Volition?

Very cheeky of them to rip on GTA IV, since you just know it's going to be a load of wannabe ass by comparison anyway. Graphically it sucks by comparison and in case they've forgotten, GTA IV isn't just concerned with going bowling, playing darts and watching the in-game TV. What makes GTA IV stand out is the combo of British and American humour that combine in satirising and parodying American culture. Saints Row has to accept defeat in that area in favour of something altogether more "in ya face" and lacking in any subtlety.

So long as the sequels controls better than the original did. The cars in Saint's Row were terrible.

One thing that GTAIV will be heads-and-shoulders on is the animation system. I doubt Saint's Row 2 will feature non-traditional animation, as evidenced by a body being pushed by a train, rather than something more gruesome and realistic.

GTA and Saints Row really are their own games. Despite the obvious comparisons, Saints Row has taken the genre in a new direction. This new trailer only deepens that contrast.

I don't need to choose, I'll buy them both for their own qualities

They are definitely 2 separate franchises going in 2 separate directions. The trailer looks good, and I'm sure the game will be a lot of fun. The variety of activities and character customization are definitely something lacking in GTA4. I will miss Euphoria in this game though.

Personally, I prefer the push for realism that GTA4 is instigating, while retaining the humor and not-so-realistic qualities that make it so enjoyable.
