Saints Row 3 Wasn’t At E3 Because the Tech Needed Fixing

While no one necessarily questioned the fact that Saints Row 3 didn’t appear at E3 this year, THQ’s Danny Bilson came forward to say that the game is not dead, and that it skipped E3 in order to finish repairing the tech. If you’re still interested in the game, then you can look forward to hearing more about it at this year’s Spike TV VGAs, coming this December.

We’ve spent an extra year rebuilding the technology for this game. It is absolutely gorgeous and still completely insane. We’re also going to have a collectible card game, we’re going to have books, we’re going to have mechandise – we’re going to build this thing out into the biggest transmedia blowout ever seen.

We got word of the Saints Row film a while ago, but it looks like they’re not going to stop there. THQ & Volition totally plan on turning the Saints Row series into a franchise, which could be interesting if done right. Having played the first two Saints Row games, I can’t imagine that there would be much to put in books or on collectible cards, though. (via CVG)
