If you can't beat 'em...
This is absolutely brilliant. With heavyweights Modern Warfare 3 and Battlefield 3 taking shots at each other just days before their release, Saints Row the Third comes out of nowhere and makes a trailer that blows both games out of the water. Complete with cities outlined in neon (MW3) and the "actual gameplay footage" Battlefield 3 and other nods towards how ridiculous the two games are playing towards one another, Saints Row has an excellent piece of marketing on them.
What this trailer also does well is point to the fact that it is NOT either of these games. The action is very tongue in cheek and at some points comical. The setting seems very futuristic compared to the first two titles in the trilogy (hence it being a sequel to the last game) and I'm dying to hop on one of those hover motorcycles.
Do you think this is a good trailer? Or did THQ just get in the ring with a ready-to-bite Mike Tyson?
