Volition has revealed the system requirements for the PC version of The Saints Row: The Third, as well as some of the unique PC-only features that will be available on the Steam version of the game.
The developer is going out of its way to make up for the PC port of Saints Row 2, stating flatly, ”Saints Row: The Third on PC is not a port, and it’s our goal here at Volition to prove that to our PC fans. We hope you enjoy the game when it releases to the public on November 15th!”
The Steam version of Saints Row: The Third will include what the developer calls the ”Saints Video Record Mode”, which will allow players to freely record and save gameplay videos to post on social media sites and on SaintsRow.com. After the game launches, the PC version will get exclusive customization options like Team Fortress 2 bobblehead masks that the Saints Row characters can don.
