Without all this praise from DF, I wouldn't have known how much work was put into this. Holy shit. Edit: I mean, look at this at 5:20. That's blurring the line between remaster and a remake. You can't make this much of an upgrade with the effort that most other "remasters" are made with.

Remastering, is a good way of keeping your staff sharp, up to speed with new tech, whilst being able to quickly rifle through the work since the game is basically fixed in time. Also, many assets and textures can be created that can go into a pool of new gen assets to be re-used at a later date. All classic games would benefit from remastering of this kind.

I think the point IGN made was very well made. This is a visual overhaul. A visual overhaul of a very stylized game. Yes, it makes major improvements, but it does not change or add anything new to the game, and the game itself didn't have anything that broke it to cause a "NEED" for a remaster (at least for PC that is, technically it is brought up to current gen, but it waited until the end of the generation to do this, rather than the beginning of the next). Its a welcome upgrade, but with a very unwelcoming price tag if you've already gotten most of the fun out of the game previously, or still own the old one. Also, don't forget that the IGN guy mentions he had recently played a buggy switch port of the old version, so he had already gotten all of the fun out of the game, then pushed past that, and then played the same thing 'but shinier'.

However keep in mind that the original release of Saints Row The Third achieved a 8/10, meaning the game lost somehow 1 point for including all DLCs now and being visually improved.

Saints Row the Third was one of my most played games during the 7th generation of consoles and it was easily one of my top five games in my late high school years. Years later now here we are with this remaster and even though I adore the original game this remaster really shows just how much technology has improved as well as gaming quality. So awesome that the dev team went as far as they did to make this remaster as best as I could be. I think this is a great send-off for this console generation and while I definitely look forward to a future Saints Row game down the lawn this remaster of the third installment is definitely going to keep my interest and me playing for a very long time. ( if anyone is curious I played the PS3 version back in 2011 and I plan to pick up the Xbox version for the remaster since I have an Xbox One X + 4K TV so I'll be able to take full advantage of the extra features and visual enhancements ) I can't wait to finally try out the multiplayer Co-op that I missed out on with the original version being able to play all of the DLC and extra content will definitely be a treat as well!

All those mid budget open world games from 10 years ago, like Saint's Row series, Mafia 2, Sleeping Dogs, even extra low budget ones like Wheelman, are more functional. Going back even further, Midtown Madness and Driver 2, all these late-90s games running in barely a couple MB of RAM manage their limitations better and have actually passable artificial city life too.
