This actually looks like a remaster that has passion behind it. Other remasters would make very little improvements and just update the textures slightly.

I think the minigun sound is bugged, overall i really enjoy this remaster.

Me: already has 2 copies of this exact game My brain: d o i t a g a i n

Seems the cars still have infinite gears. Ah the nostalgia.

What the hell happened to the minigun sounds in Remastered? Jeez

This is what "remaster" should be. Texture, lighting, shadows improvement. WITH meshes improvements for characters and some extra stuff. Not just HD textures and that's it.

This remaster is super impressive but no amount of lighting fixes can fix how drab and depressing Steelport is in comparison to Stillwater

This is how it's done. With passion and respect. Take note Grove Street Games.

It's crazy how some of the characters went from looking cartoony to realistic.

You forgot to mention that they reworked the weapon models

Better than GTA Trilogy The Definitive Edition

GTA: "THE DEFINITIVE EDITION TRILOGY" could learn a thing or two from this remaster

The mini gun in the remastered version sounds like someone trying to blow for the longest time without take a breath lmaooo

*calls Loren the lead antagonist* *Dies in the first chapter of the game*

Let's be real, this is what we mean when we say we want remaster, literally the original game with better graphics! Kept all the old bugs and sent me down a real nostalgia trip.

feels like im back in 2011 again when i play it begged my mama to buy this game till she finally did brings alot of nostalgic moments mane fr ....playing the game till late night,waking up early to play it and sadly shes no longer here with me but this game gives me back fun moments tho💯

Saints Row: The Third remastered looks amazing. It looks so good. The lighting makes a huge difference.

3:31 They changed from feets to meters. I'm sold, 10/10 remaster

This makes GTA Trilogy Remaster look like a joke

I’m honestly hyped up for SR2 getting a remaster. The whole story about how they lost the code and have just recently found it is interesting

Now we need Saints Row 2 Remastered

This reminds me of what the modding community does to Skyrim & Skyrim SE.

Groove street games should watch this video, this is how a remaster is done

Ok who's here after the bad remaster of GTA trilogy?

when you get sr3 remastered but have to play on low

Saint Row 3: Watch Dogs 1 Saint Row 3 Remastered: Watch Dogs 1 E3

Better remaster than GTA Trilogy: Definitive Edition.

This is a really good comparison video, it's really frustrating when clips are showed back to back instead of side to side. Having both on screen at the same time just makes it a lot easier to tell the difference

Can’t wait to get back, and tbh the remaster just looks like how I viewed games like this back then. So I’m going to enjoy the nostalgia trip

Saint Row is like GTA and Just Cause got married and had a child together, with GTA's look but Just Cause's personality.

So they added body and pubic hair on Oleg but couldn’t give us the option to put that on our character if we wanted to? Lmao

I feel like I don't know the characters. They're new to me.

1:51 Remastered Josh kinda looks like low-texture Norman Reedus lol

Now this, is a remaster, other devs has to take some notes

That’s what all remasters should be. Considerable improvements on already great game, that is worth paying for. Awesome video Nick!

I will tell my kids this was cyberpunk 2077

I found something interesting, in the remastered when you go through one of those tunnels on the highway and if you call someone, you can hear your character echo in the tunnel.

honestly it was the best remaster i ever played! It came with all the DLCs and it’s only 40$. I remember being in middle school playing this too so it’s worth the nostalgia!

Thanks for this.. you cleared up alot of things.. great compari!

Love all the great details and efforts put I to these videos! Great stuff! ❤️ 😁👌🏻

The rain and puddle reflections and details are amazing

While I do love the new lighting and improved textures, I personally would have preferred if they kept the cartoony artstyle for all of the characters. I thought it gave a nice style to the game that differentiated it from the models in GTA and the like. Overall though, a pretty great remaster.

Now they need to remaster the first one

Thank you for making this video. It did convince me that I really shouldn't spend money on the remaster but I do appreciate the work your put into making this in-depth comparison.

Actually going to get this now, they've put some effort in the remaster.

When I saw the remastered, I thought it looked the same and nothing improved. That is, until I saw how the old Saints Row 3 looked like and holy shite, it looks so different in the remastered and I love it. It is a huge improvement on most things

This remaster is cool, although personally - underline personally - I prefered this cartoon like graphic - in my opinion it was more linked to gameplay, and didn't really got old

The fact that they switched clothes texture from Royal Purple to Pink is a fucking travesty! That color was iconic for the franchise.

5:50 I love how the cars randomly explode on the other side of the river while he's talking about the graphics artifacts lol

This remaster puts the mafia 2 remaster to bed 🛌

devs: so what would you like us to do? producer: *o r a n g e*

Played this game solo twice when sr3 first came out, really enjoyed it. A friend and I bought the remaster recently to play coop and man its probably the most fun I had with a game in a while we're having a blast.

I remember getting an infinite ammo skill as well as "cheese", a cheat code for money I used

Can't believe Saints Row is actually doing a really good remaster for a 9 years old game and we still waiting for Half Life 3, Conker's Bad Fur Day 2, Black and White 3 maybe (impossible because Lionhead is no longer), etc, etc. You know what I mean. Funny how I used to think Saint Row was a copy straight out of GTA, now I think the opposite, gta online players understand.

Very nice video, i like new sounds:-)

Who's here waiting while their free saints row is getting downloaded

IM SO HAPPY THAT YOU UPLOADED THIS

Nick930 keeping my lockdown entertaining. I absolutely love these Direct Comparison videos

Thank you for this quality video

old saints row: cartoony remastered: realistic old gta: realistic with hardware limitations remastered: S I M S

Basically the remaster is how you think the game was when you remembered it. Then what it actually was. Both are great. Hope there are patches to fix bugs

I saw a thumbnail a bit ago from someone else who made a comparison of this game, and I was like "no thanks, I'd rather wait for Nick" then here it is shortly after! Keep it up Nick, love your content!!

Who came here after seeing Saints Row: The Third Remastered free on Epic Games xd

Thanks for this video 👍🏻👌🏻✌🏻

The characters honestly look less interesting with the remaster. Their cartoonish look was a big part of the original.

i appreciate this level of remaster instead of those the one in mafia 2

Viola will forever be wifey

Made a quality vid, dude. Nice job. ~ None of those flashy overlays. No phony affected voice. ~ You just got yourself a new Subb, here.

Nick I'm following you for a long time and i really want to see the day where you will reach 1 million sub when i wake up. Your among those dudes who actually work with lot of passion stand alone. Hope you're doing good take care.

1:26 They sure remastered more than the face 😏

Anyone after epic games' free launch??

Solid remaster. Hopefully they do the 4th one as well since they can reuse a lot of the new assets. Still hoping for a 1/2 remake though, those were my favourites.

I was looking for this video and realized you uploaded it 12 seconds ago xD

I haven’t played this game but goddamn the remastered looks amazing

I'm happy this game got a remaster, such a masterpiece.

They should really do a saints row 2 remstered but i know thats not going to happen

I am so happy, this is one of my favorite games and they remastered it perfectly

Apart from the minigun, everything is perfect. Really impressed. I always wore the special investigator jacket and never realised that it was leather.

Imagine this: Remaster textures, meshes and shadows w/ the original's character models and hair, lighting and tone.

This and Resident Evil series are what a "remaster" should be.

One thing that bugged the heck out of me: The endless shifting. Seemed like cars in saints row 3 have 20+ gears. I really hope they fixed that, if not, well shiiit. 😭 I'll still buy it though cause man, this game looks gorgeous.

Why not remaster the 2nd one though?? That was arguably the best one in the series!

Kinda awkward that there is no sound at all, but thanks for the comparison. I played it on PS3 when it came out, now I'm playing the remastered on PC, did not expect that the graphics are that much different before seeing this video.

good comparison thx

I love this game to death, loved the 2011 version, and have highly enjoyed the Remastered, tho I was confused to find they remastered this one rather than its predecessors 1 & 2 that SERIOUSLY need remastering. Getting back on track, I did enjoy this game, the highlights for me oddly were the new design of the STAG soldiers, they look cooler in their new armor, also the weapon texture and design have improved greatly that I am blown away, specifically the Rocket launcher that looks more like a modified RPG and the Pistols, it looks all great. I agree highly with this video on all the topics it brings up, but the downside for me of this remastered version, as highlighted, is that not all characters came out looking great, Oleg was one I found disappointing as the remastered look did neither Josh, Oleg, or many other characters in the game, not to mention the lip-syncing was bad, also I found several glitches with the Radio, as one may listen to The Blood Station and find no music when Adult Swim station is playing The Blood station music lol. But Overall I cannot be mad at this remastered version, I highly enjoyed the Remastered game as I was able to show someone else the game who was not a fan of the 2011 one, but enjoyed the remasted version, I agree with this video in every aspect, thank you for this video.

I’m thinking about buyin the remaster finally thanks for helping me decide man

Hi to ALL "EPIC GAMERS"

I really like the remaster and I wanted for some while to replay this game and the remaster was the perfect occasion to do so. The game is as fun as ever but better than before. The one thing I don't like with the game though is that the night is really too dark in my opinion, especially when you go out of downtown. Also, I feel like the day/night cycle is a bit off, I've got the impression that the game is almost never at day but I don't know if it's the case for everyone.

9:41 Getting some Midnight Club II nostalgic vibes from this scene :/

Ngl they look surprisingly realistic, excited to try this out, even though I’m a little late

Dude I just noticed that the muscles in boss character model change according to your settings and has slight movement when you walk around. This lighting is reworked and can come as photorealistic sometimes which is awesome. World texture saw very little improvement if there was any. But specific objects have huge texture improvement. This is probably this Gen's best Remaster. Well done devs. Gonna buy when it hits steam. Now playing the pirated one.

I was waiting for this, you know?

The grind is paying off Nick! Keep going and you’ll reach 1 mil soon👏🏽

How did I not know they remastered one of my favorite childhood games

THIS is what the GTA Trilogy Definitive Edition should have been! Rockstar and Grove Street Games needs to take notes. THIS is what a Definitive Edition is supposed to be, not that GTA Trilogy Defective The Sims, Roblox, Fortnite looking ass Edition!!

I have the feeling they are going to use this remaster to gauge the desire for a fifth game.

The characters models are looking way too different, I'd prefer the original version in that regard. But the environment part is looking good, especially the light and textures.

Maybe do SR2 next, this loogs great

All the sound effects to guns sound nice in the remaster except for the minigun which is a direct downgrade to it’s original, and the aircraft and ground vehicle sounds are really good in the remastered.
