360 News from N4G | Saints Row 2

360 - Saints Row 2 - THQ On Saints Row 2 Nudity

The original Saints Row from 2006 was an exercise is drug use, highly suggestive sexual themes and other grown-up pastimes.

So it wasn't too surprising when a video popped up of a naked woman streaking in the upcoming Saints Row 2.

Strategy Informer recently met up with Lead Designer Scott Phillips and Lead Producer Greg Donovan from Volition for some extended hands-on time with Saints Row 2 and a nice chat about hot dog suits, sewage and laughing your ass off. And all with absolutely no bling in sight.

With Saint's Row 2 finished, we decided to ask about the possibility of Saint's Row 3, and Scott Philips told us that they will wait until players put their comments out for SR2 and collect that stuff and start working on it then, hopefully.

Darkzero writes: "With just three weeks left until the release of Saints Row 2, THQ has allowed us to now reveal the details of the online multiplayer modes that you'll be able to experience come 17th October.
Matches are played out within one of seven maps that are themed around various districts such as Chinatown and Beverly Hills. There are, of course, the standard Deathmatch modes which appear to be mandatory for any online first- or third-person shooter. Here they are named Gangsta Brawl and Team Gangsta Brawl and are pretty self-explanatory. The goal is to kill as many of the opposing players as you can, with the player or team with the highest score at the end of the match being the winner."
