Saints Row 2 PC Ship Date & Details
Oct 29 2008, 13:00 by Mattze
PS3 and Xbox360 owners have been playing Saints Row 2 for almost 2 weeks now, while PC owners have been left wanting. Well the PC version now has a release date; January 6th 2009. The reason for the delay is due to perfecting the game, which is essentially a console port, however, don't let that put you off, the game is set to be of exceptionally high quality, more so than that of the console versions. Below is a summary of what we can expect from the PC version;
- Highest quality game across all platforms
- The game is a port of the console version from an external company
- The PC version is still being produced and tested at Volition with support from the design and programming teams as needed.
- 360 controller will be fully supported for PC play, you will also be able to map your keyboard / mouse controls as you see fit.
- There will also be a small interface change for Multiplayer. The PC version requires a little more information when connecting through a server browser. You'll now see each player's Ping, the number of players in a specific match, match names, and the ability to sort by modes (360/PS3 has this as well, but they have to create a party first).
- A final addition for the PC version is adjustable video settings for aspects such as anti-aliasing, resolution, and more.
