The Remaster Dilemma
Remasters are tough cookies to review. Odds are, if a game is popular enough to be getting remastered, most people already “get” what it's all about. It’s likely a good game, and there’s probably already been hundreds of reviews talking about the quality of the base title. So, how do I review the remaster? Do I spend my time going through every detail and fine point of the main game as if playing for the first time (I’ve put quite a few hours into the original Saints Row: The Third)? Do I do a deep-dive into the technological improvements and rate the game based on how much of an improvement it is over the original? Both seem flawed, so I’m going to hodgepodge them together and give you a little bit of both.
- Saints Row: The Third Overhaul. Check Out This Mod. This one is an even better modification of the game than the last mod pack on my list, as it only adds some minor changes that improve certain key aspects of Saints Row. Game improvements are a crucial part of this Overhaul.
- Saints Row: The Third SR3 Remastered. Specifically Steam. Saints Row: The Third released censored here in Germany, the Switch port last year released uncut.
- Thankfully, Saints Row 3 Remastered is definitely making its way to Steam.The news was confirmed by the official Saints Row Twitter account, which stated that Saints Row: The Third Remastered is.
There is nude mod for original SR3 and SR4 but not the Remastered. Apparently its not a simple remastered with only higher resolution like some other game but all the model, texture, effect have been remake with much better quality.Currently the game only available on Epic store unfortunately but I think it will come to Steam at some point.

If you somehow aren't familiar with the Saints Row franchise by now, it’s actually a fairly interesting story how it got to where it is now. Way back in 2006, the original Saints Row
Saints Row The Third Remastered Steam
launched as a relatively grounded knock-off of the 
Grand Theft Auto franchise. You had your gangs, your city, your cars, and all the other good stuff that 
GTA is known for. The problem was that it just didn’t really do much that it’s bigger brother didn’t, and it didn’t do any of those things better. So, as GTA IV came out and showed a grayer, more dreary GTA experience, Saints Row found its niche by going the other direction. Saints Row 2 was a little brighter and a little more light hearted. Saints Row: The Third cranked the wackiness up, turning the whole thing into the beautiful, raunchy comedy that the series is known for today. The fourth game may have taken things a bit too far in that direction, leaving the third in many people’s eyes to be the series’ peak. Now, 9 years later, number three is showing some of its age, and this remaster aims to bring the experience to 2020. What is My Purpose?
It’s important to understand that this game is absolutely a remaster and in no way a remake. The game plays exactly the same. There isn’t new content, voice acting, or anything else. It’s the same game with a new coat of paint and better performance. If you’ve already played and enjoyed the original Saints Row: The Third, I don’t really see a huge reason to jump into the remaster. If you haven’t yet experienced the mayhem and have been interested in checking it out, this remaster is absolutely the definitive way to play. In that regard, it succeeds in its objectives, and for that it’s hard to give it too hard of a time.
Things are definitely improved visually, most notably the lighting. More contrast results in a less muddied look, and colors have a much more satisfying pop. Faces look better, too, with more depth and clarity. Driving at night is perhaps the biggest improvement, with darker darks and the presence of better light reflections on shiny surfaces. It’s nothing groundbreaking and, even on ultra, isn’t what I’d call gorgeous, but it’s certainly not hard to look at. The thing is, the original has aged well enough that, while the difference is noticeable, it still doesn’t look bad. Given that this overhaul is largely the only reason this remaster exists, it becomes a bit harder to recommend. While it’s definitely the best way to play, and newcomers to the title should pick it up over the original, I’m not sure it’s enough draw for anyone that’s been on this ride before.
A Sense of Humor
While I find the game absolutely hilarious, your mileage is going to depend almost solely on if this brand of middle school humor works for you. To me, most everything works, from the ridiculous self-ragdolling side games to the giant purple dildo bats, but if that kind of thing seems unappealing to you there isn’t really any way around it. That humor is the game. It’s its essence. Its raison d’être. If you don’t dig it, no amount of solid gameplay or customization is going to win you over. If it is your bag, the laughs start early and don’t stop. Of course, humor isn’t all the game has to offer. Controls are tight and the game runs well (barring some so-bad-they’re funny environmental glitches), and the willingness of the title to keep one foot on the ground and one in the absurd makes for some breathtakingly beautiful action segments. In the opening two missions alone you’ll be hanging from a giant bank safe suspended from a helicopter as you mow down other helicopters, then you’ll blast your way out of a corner by raining hell down with drone-fired missiles. It’s beautiful mayhem, and the whole time the same words will be running through your head: damn, I feel like a badass.
Saints Row The Third Remastered Steam Release
Overall there isn’t much more to say aboutSaints Row 3 Remastered Steam Free
Saints Row: The Third Remastered because, all in all, it’s the same game I loved back in 2011. Underneath a fairly fresh coat of paint is the same adrenaline pumping, juvenile story of a gang-turned-media-sensation trying to rebuild itself. In that regard, assessed purely in a vacuum, this game is a smash hit. In context, though, I can’t help but feel this release is a bit premature. With the original Saints Row: The Third still being recent enough that it looks alright and plays well, I can’t shake the feeling that letting it nap for another few years may have resulted in a more impressive remaster.
