Saints Row IV in LA!

April 19th, 2013

I’ve been invited by @SteveJaros from Volition to LA next week for “Saints Row shenanigans” that include a chance to see the recording process, and hands on time with the game including giving feedback to the devs!

I’m both honored and excited to be a part of this. I can’t wait!

Might as well jump…

Super Jump for SRTT

April 16th, 2013

I didn’t think that a super jump was actually going to be possible to mod in. Nooskid007 has proven me wrong today by releasing a work in progress video showing it in action. He still needs to sort out the camera tracking the player, but it certainly is a promising start.

It’s out and there is a lot of information to process, including the release date of August 23!

EDIT:
More details are rolling in from Polygon! The North America release date is August 20 and worldwide hits on August 23. They also report the following: “According to the official Facebook page for the title, the head of the Saints has been elected President of the United States, leading the charge against an alien force in a struggle to save humanity. Players will “wield gargantuan superpowers” and have an “arsenal of alien weaponry and technology” at their disposal, as well as the ability to leap buildings, outrun enemies and use telekinesis.”
