According to THQ core games boss Danny Bilson, the 3DS/XBLA spin-off ofSaints Rowwon’t play like aSaints Rowgame, despite original plans that would have had it do just that.Â
“It’s going to be a different — we actually changed the design and are doing something more unique,†he explains. “This is just creative but we wound up feeling the game we were building was too much like a section ofSaints Rowthat you could play inSaints Row.
“Now we’ve come up with a new design with a completely original game mechanic and we’re building out something that supportsSaints Rowwith that.”
Frankly, I wouldn’t mind a traditionalSaints Rowrow experience on my 3DS, but it’s cool that they’re actually working hard on making something fresh and unique. I’m guessing we’ll see a top-down game, a’la old schoolGTA, but who knows? So long as it’s as absurd asSaints Row 2was, I’m looking forward to it.Â
