The penetrator saints row
In its place is Saints Row, a reboot of the series with a back-to-basics focus on ground-level crime and violence.In the seven years since Gat out of Hell was released (we’re not counting Agents of Mayhem), the world has moved on, and so too must Saints Row.
In fact, there is one particular character, Professor Genki, who feels like a clever nod to those crazy Japanese stunt shows. Saints Row, the class-clown of GTA-esque open-world sandbox games, is no more. It’s unfortunate that Japanese gamers won’t get to fully experience The Penetrator, but that doesn’t mean many of Saints Row: The Third’s other whacky moments won’t be on display. Saints Row 4 is Saints Row 3 with a lot more stuff. Saints Row 2 is still the better game, but Saints Row 4 is unique. Saints Row 4 turns the entire formula on its head and turns you into a super hero to fight in the matrix. Obviously, if you’ve seen the trailer you would know that there is a lot of exaggeration on display with the weapon, but there is also some painstaking detail being injected into both the look and movement as well. Saints Row 3 is like a newer SR2, with driving, gangbanging and whatnot. That weapon in question gamers have all probably seen before (so we won’t go into any detail describing it), but just in case, it was featured in one of the Saints Row: The Third Cherished Memory trailers.īut this news story isn’t to talk about this bat, it’s to say that some gamers won’t even know the comedic and developmental effort that went into bringing The Penetrator to life.Īccording to THQ, developer Volition had to alter the make up and physics of The Penetrator in order to comply with Japanese guidelines, which prohibit any depiction of genital parts in video games.
Among the many whacky scenarios and characters that make up the foundation of Saints Row: The Third there stands out one particular weapon that has made the rounds as this iteration’s iconic landmark.
