Well lucky people.

Saints Row 2 is confirmed in an article stating that because of this the developers are canceling the PS3 port. Here is the source

Saints Row for the PS3 has officially been cancelled as the port team has moved on to develop the 2nd game in the franchise for simultaneous release on the Xbox 360 & PS3. Company CEO Brian Farrell explained that it is important for the company to be able to ship the 2nd game to a larger customer base.

Saints Row 2 has been confirmed. In development at Volition, the sequel is heading to PS3 and Xbox 360.

Unveiling the successor to the 360's GTA-style game during a conference call with analysts following a financial report yesterday, THQ said it will ship simultaneously on both platforms in 2008.

The publisher also revealed that it's canned Saints Row on PS3, CEO Brian Farrell explaining, "We think the most important thing for the Saints Row franchise is to have a simultaneous ship into a larger installed base next year. We think the bigger opportunity is a multiplatform launch."

On the sequel, Farrell said it's been in development for "some time" and that it will "utilise Volition's proprietary open-world engine and deliver an all-new cross-platform gaming experience."

Meanwhile, it was additionally revealed that THQ plans to launch its PC and console shooter Frontlines: Fuel of War in January 2008. Battlefield-style Frontlines is being developed by THQ's internal studio Kaos Studios. Kaos Studios' team includes staff that have formerly worked on Battlefield 2 and Desert Combat (Battlefield 1942 mod).

Poor PS3 owners got screwed out of a decent open-world roamer. I'm not sure whether to be excited about SR2 or mortified.

Why would you be mortified?

Well it doesn't seem like they will be working on this one very long and I can only hope that the bugs will be worked out of the game in time for final release. Last thing we need is another buggy SR game.

True but it's not out until 2008 and they said it's been in development for a while now. I know what you mean though, SR was a great game but it did have a few annoying bugs. I'm sure they have read the feedback on the original and hopefully they have taken note.

I do seriously hope they fix 90% of the bugs, as the magnitude of them prevented me from enjoying the game as much as I should have.

Loved Saints Row, can't wait until GTAIV to blow Saints Row out of the water, and then hopefully for Saints Row 2 to provide a further step up on GTAIV. My main hope is that they don't pull a GTA and recycle all the side-missions, as long as there are some of the classic activities [Insurance Fraud, Mayhem] and a heap of new one's, I'll be content.

SR had a horrific MP, and i dont mean like 2 second lag...I mean instant ghost damage that was ridiculous.

lets hope that dosent happen again....

Even if there are bugs. Remember, as long as you are connected online, it's easy to patch so I'm not as worried about these games being buggy like in the GTA3 games.

Don't you remember, they tried patching it, twice, and still did nothing.

Which was even more annoying because if you finally got a lag-free game it was awesome fun. This just served to remind you what you were missing out on the rest of the time.

Saints row ONE has been cancled for the PS3....and its just as well, distracts developers from Saints Row 2...

Never was partial to Saints row One, though I only played the demo...

Saints Row TWO, is for the 360 AND the PS3 ^_~

Just to clear that up ^_^

After the patches I rarely had lag in Saints Row again. Blinged Out Ride was truly glorious.
