Porn Star Tera Patrick Joins Saints Row 2 Staff

Jul 25, 2008 3:06pm CST tags: Saints Row 2
In what is no doubt a blatant grab for publicity, the official Saints Row 2 website today announced that renowned adult film star Tera Patrick will be assisting as a "special producer" on the open-world action game.

The site teased that Patrick will be "bringing her one-of-a-kind touch to the project," but offered no details on her actual involvement. More information is expected to arrive on July 30, with a clock on the site currently counting down to that date.

Patrick's apparent late-term involvement in the project and the hoopla surrounding it suggests that her role is chiefly that of a promotional tool, no doubt providing fuel for politicians as they attempt to drag the industry down and equate games with porn.

The star marks the latest pseudo-celebrity to join the title's promotional campaign, which has featured the beloved Gary Busey in a number of trailers.

Developed by Volition, Saints Row 2 is slated to hit PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on October 14, with a PC version due out at an unspecified future date.

Saints Row 2 Announced with Online Co-Op

Sep 24, 2007 10:06am CST tags: Saints Row 2
Publisher THQ today officially announced Saints Row 2, developer Volition's return to the open-ended world of Stilwater. In development for both PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, the sequel is set for a 2008 release.

Among its host of new and improved features are two-player online co-op throughout the entire campaign and and open-world competitive multiplayer mode THQ says is "never before seen in the genre," along with expanded gender, age, voice, crib and gang customization.

Of course, the game's city has been redesigned, and now features a number of new vehicles, such as boats, planes, motorcycles, and helicopters.

"Saints Row 2 has a much darker and more sinister story that leads your character down a path of betrayal, revenge and redemption against the city that has left him for dead, although we've blended that with the same light-hearted humor from the original," said lead designer Greg Donovan. "Couple that with the most robust open-world feature set ever developed in the genre, and Saints Row 2 promises a gaming experience that will offer players the perfect balance of gripping narrative and compelling gameplay options."
