"Every motherfucka' here knows what we need to do! Those bitches ridin' around thinkin' they own these streets. I don't care what flags they fly! Rollerz, Carnales, Vice Kings... NO ONE is makin' this nigga scared to walk the Row! We're about to lock this poo poo down right now!" - Julius Little, Saints Row (2006)

With those words Julius Little launched an empire. The Saints would soon take back the row, and eventually, the world itself. In the real world, Saints Row became a smash hit as well, selling untold millions and establishing the franchise as far more than a mere GTA clone cash-in.



[size="large"][color="red"] ALERT![/color] [/size] :siren:SPECIAL all week stream :siren: Volition is doing a 10th anniversary stream on August 29. THE ENTIRE WEEK STARTING EACH DAY STARTING MONDAY AUGUST 29 @ 5PM EST/2PM PT/22:00 GMT!

You can watch it here at

https://www.twitch.tv/DSVolition






They also have streamed the game before, giving some cool insights into the games development process

https://youtu.be/CBZLE0Vc4X0

they also did a stream when sr4 came out of sr1 thats incredibly insightful with steve jaros and a rotating cast of devs:

http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x15venl_volition-plays-saints-row-01-of-10_videogames?GK_FACEBOOK_OG_HTML5=1

some highlights:

-Saints Row's original name was going to be "Bling Bling"

-Saints Row almost got an AO rating because of a beastiality reference on an ingame movie poster

-The Saints original colors were Green, until San andreas came out and killed that idea

-They were originally going to do a DLC that chronicled the story of Lamar, one of the Vice Kings in the opening Saints Row cutscene

-Saints Row 2 was originally going to be set in the 70s detailing the rise of Julius and Benjamin King

-One of the testers said he thought the sr1 HUD looked "like pubes in a drain" when he first saw it

-Volitions HQ building was modeled in game and is across the street from the Saints Church

-Ingame theres a pizza delivery car with a sign that says Randall's Pizza By The Slice, created after a real dev named Randall complained there werent any pizza joints around the Volition HQthat served pizza by the slice

-Saints Row almost didnt get released because of streaming issues, they came up with an insane workaround that involved using 10 pcs together to scan for 24 hrs to find chunks of the world that were not loading

-Something Awful's very own Idol Ninja created a mod called Gentleman of the Row for sr2 that was so good they hired him on the spot. (Idol, if youre reading this, whattup bro! Tell Mitch Cronin Imp Zone thinks he's a boss!)

-Mitch Cronin is a boss.

-The ingame nightclub $tock$ is named after Chris Stockman producer at Voliton

-Every year Volition hosts a pie eating contest hosted by none other than Boss Cronin himself ( https://youtu.be/LKo9ZTLJ2vE )

-A dev animated a blow job for a cutscene that was so realistic looking the project lead freaked out (this is around the time the Hot Coffee scandal was happening) and locked it up in the Voliton archives, and it still has not been seen to this very day.

-there's a mission cutscene where a guy is looking at a porno mag, in the mag itself is a picture of Chris Stockman in his underwear

-And a WHOLE lot more

So join me, shall you? To an amazing 10th anniversary tribute to an amazing game that proved GTA wasn't the only open world game on the block thats up to snuff.

You can get Saints Row 1 on xbox live digital download for the 360 if you want to relive the magic alongside me of the Saints rise to power on this 10th anniversary.

This thread is about :

-Sharing your OG Saints Row memories/ funny summer of 2006 memories in general

-Talking about the funny developer stories

-Fun times you had playing Saints Row 1

This thread is NOT about :

-Talking about saints row 3/4/gat out of hell/ agents of mayhem (shudders). No one wants to hear about that crap. Save it for another thread.

-Trash talking the game.

I've already discussed it with the mods and probations/bans WILL be handed out LIBERALLY to any trouble-makers/"trolls" who are 3edgy5u and think its cute to attack a senior regular game.

Get ready, playas. It's gonna be a hell of a ride.

I've never posted here, but SR1 was the poo poo. Loved playing Team Big rear end Chains. Some then-co-workers and I formed a small clan and just trolled people endlessly. SR1 will eternally have a spot in my heart. SR2, however, owns it fully. Still play that game from beginning to end to this day (must've done it literally 10 times by now over three different systems).

I also can't quite remember which mode was the one where you took turns being a pimp with a gigantic hand and could one hit ko people while they hunted you down.

SR1 had a few really satisfying weapons like the sniper rifle. That's my enduring memory of the game for some reason

my most enduring memory of saints row is when your character finally speaks at the end of the game and all he has to say is that he wants to get a burger at freckle bitches

Welcome! Yeah, that mode was called "Protect the Pimp" and it was awesome. Sadly they took the servers down for sr1 multiplayer and you cant play it anymore :(

Multiplayer was so much fun...I wish they'd dedicate more resources to it, but I understand why they don't/can't.
