	I am pretty sure Insurance Fraud is timed. I noticed in one of the videos that it said something like "collect $X amount in 3.00 mins". Also if it was unlimited then people would just get ridiculous amounts of money easily and it would make money redundant. ------------------- It's twelve o'clock, and it's a wonderful day. I know you hate me, but I'll ask anyway. Won't you come with me, to a place in a little town. The only way to get there's to go straight down.

	Okay: To keep Stock’s head from exploding, and to increase chances of him actually answering questions, I’ve compiled a list of all the previous questions, so he doesn't have to read through pages of mindless chatter. They're in the same order people asked them, and I've edited them for spelling, grammar, punctuation, etc. Dejay -Are pedestrians unique/random in regards to facial features and other attributes? -How do you feel now that the end is in sight and your baby is about to be set free into the world? Rude_boy_loves_ska -Will you return to NEOSEEKER for Saints Row 2? (If there is a Saints Row 2, of course ) -And if you do, can we compile a list of what we want/don't want (the good ideas) for it and send them to you? Earlimoon -Can we own assets like in GTA? -What sort of Safehouses are there, and how many do we have in this game? Can they be customized? Bananahands690 -I Heard We Can Customize Our Crib. Is This True? Can you name a few examples of how we would be able to do this? -Will everything be interactive? In this I mean; will we be able to turn The TV on, and open and close doors? -On Online Gang Play; Will you be able to customize your gang? For instance; will you be able to create a gang name, and pick your own gang colors and motto? X360_owner -I have heard rumors that we will be able to somehow get a taxi cab, and have it drive us anywhere in the city. Is this true? -I haven't heard a lot about the mp3 player in a while; is it still in the game? -Do you know for sure if there will be a Saints Row 2? -I was also wondering if when we buy clothes; is there anyway we can not pay for them and just run out of the store with the clothes on that we were going to buy? -I know we can get the merchandise and money out of the safe in a store; but can we get it out of the cash register as well? -Will there be A LOT of buildings we can enter, such as 7 out of 10 buildings? -How well will the pedestrian A.I. be? Will we see random police chases and store robberies? -I have noticed a lot of people complaining about what they saw in a video. It looked like you can't take your vehicle up stairs. Is this true? Crispy_Bacon -what kind of lobby system are you going for in the online part of the game? -Will it be like every other game on 360 at the moment (i.e. following the same lobby and game-finding structure), or will it have a party system ala Halo 2? -Also, can you ensure to us the game play smooth online, connection-wise and in terms of frame-rate, especially with 12 players on screen? EAT L4YER CAKE -How much space did you guys use up on the dvd9? I ask because a lot of people on ps3 forums are saying that GTA4 will need to toned down for 360. -Also did you have to tone anything down, like graphics or effects? ESO_K1NG -How many drugs are in the game and what effect will they have on you? -Also what effect will beer have on you? -And are there any drugs available in the demo?

They're in the same order people asked them, and I've edited them for spelling, grammar, punctuation, etc. Thank you very much. It's much appreciated. quote Dejay -Are pedestrians unique/random in regards to facial features and other attributes? sorta. They have random clothes and stuff but we don't really randomize their weight or facial features. quote -How do you feel now that the end is in sight and your baby is about to be set free into the world? I'm excited that everyone will finally get a chance to play what we've been pouring blood, sweat, and tears into for the last 3 sum years. quote Rude_boy_loves_ska -Will you return to NEOSEEKER for Saints Row 2? (If there is a Saints Row 2, of course ) I like you guys so I'll keep you all informed of whatever my future holds. quote -And if you do, can we compile a list of what we want/don't want (the good ideas) for it and send them to you? Compile away, although I give no guarantees... quote Earlimoon -Can we own assets like in GTA? You will receive cribs throughout the game. But there is no purchasing of safe houses ala GTA: SA. quote -What sort of Safehouses are there, and how many do we have in this game? Can they be customized? Ok so we have 4 cribs, which, are major pieces of property that are rewarded throughout the game. Cribs are places to arm yourself with free weapons (more cribs earned = more weapons available, access your bought / rewarded customization items, pickup money earned from owned neighborhoods, access garage, and last but not least serve as reload points from a save game. Now the save system is pretty damn cool for an open world game. Essentially you can save anytime, anywhere. Just go into the menu, select save, and the game is instantly saved. No more traveling to save triggers! However, there are a few limitations to this system. We don't save mission / activity progress. So if you were to save during a mission / activity and reload that save all progress will be lost. Second when you reload from a save you will start at the nearest save trigger from where you selected to save. Make sense? quote Bananahands690 -I Heard We Can Customize Our Crib. Is This True? Can you name a few examples of how we would be able to do this? No crib customization for this round. quote Will everything be interactive? In this I mean; will we be able to turn The TV on, and open and close doors? No, but you have access to many doors in the world. quote -On Online Gang Play; Will you be able to customize your gang? For instance; will you be able to create a gang name, and pick your own gang colors and motto? You can definitely pick a gang name. Gang coloring is entirely up to the gang and its members. There is no option to select which gang color you want. quote X360_owner -I have heard rumors that we will be able to somehow get a taxi cab, and have it drive us anywhere in the city. Is this true? Maybe. quote -I haven't heard a lot about the mp3 player in a while; is it still in the game? Yup, you can bring in your playlist from your XBox or go into the music store and buy any of the music heard on the radios and create your own in-game music playlist. Pretty cool, IMO. quote -Do you know for sure if there will be a Saints Row 2? Don't know. Depends on how SR performs. quote -I was also wondering if when we buy clothes; is there anyway we can not pay for them and just run out of the store with the clothes on that we were going to buy? Nope. quote -I know we can get the merchandise and money out of the safe in a store; but can we get it out of the cash register as well? Yup, you can bust up the register for some cash. quote -Will there be A LOT of buildings we can enter, such as 7 out of 10 buildings? I won't mention numbers but I don't think you'll be disappointed at the number of enterable buildings. quote -How well will the pedestrian A.I. be? Will we see random police chases and store robberies? Yup. quote -I have noticed a lot of people complaining about what they saw in a video. It looked like you can't take your vehicle up stairs. Is this true? Some stairs are accessible, some are not. quote Crispy_Bacon -what kind of lobby system are you going for in the online part of the game? By now I'm sure you've read all the various previews of SR MP. If not, I encourage you guys to read them at all the various gaming sites. quote -Will it be like every other game on 360 at the moment (i.e. following the same lobby and game-finding structure), or will it have a party system ala Halo 2? We have private parties, gangs (clans), system link, and all the various Live related matchmaking. quote -Also, can you ensure to us the game play smooth online, connection-wise and in terms of frame-rate, especially with 12 players on screen? If you guys have a good connection then, yes, you shouldn't experience any lag issues. Framerate is solid. quote EAT L4YER CAKE -How much space did you guys use up on the dvd9? I ask because a lot of people on ps3 forums are saying that GTA4 will need to toned down for 360. We did not max out the DVD. quote -Also did you have to tone anything down, like graphics or effects? We made tons of optimizations but I wouldn't say we had to "tone" anything down. quote ESO_K1NG -How many drugs are in the game and what effect will they have on you? Two types of drugs (weed and liquor), 4 variations each. As for what they do? I won't divulge details. quote -Also what effect will beer have on you? See answer above. quote -And are there any drugs available in the demo? I believe I saw someone use weed in the demo but are there any others? Yup, drugs are in the demo. quote Kottonmouth King 1 -while playing insurance farad, will your health degrade? Only if you don't trigger the ragdoll. quote -How long can you play Insurance fraud? Is it timed or can you do it your hearts content? Each level is timed. But you can replay the activity as much as you want.

	Thanks again Chris. We really appreiciate you answering more of our questions. Everyone else has pretty much asked everything I wanted to except I have one last question. Q - Previously you mentioned that the reason this edition of Saint's Row did not include flying vehicles was partly due to everyones lack of experience with the new console and partly due to the DVD9's lack of transfer speed. Do you think that using DVD9s will hinder the 360 in the future? As the PS3 will use Blu-Ray from the start, it seems the 360 might suffer from it. I know you said you didn't fill up the DVD9 with Saint's Row but if you wanted to include flying vehicles for a possible sequel, do you think it could be done? Thanks, Steel. ------------------- It's twelve o'clock, and it's a wonderful day. I know you hate me, but I'll ask anyway. Won't you come with me, to a place in a little town.

	about the drugs and liquor will there be animations like the character physically taking a blunt and putting it in his mouth and smoking?and can you keep the blunt in your mouth as long as you like?So you could be gang banging with a blunt hanging out of your mouth. ------------------- A picture is worth a thousand words,and when two half-naked dudes are half-nakedly grappling and playing "slap and tickle," there isn't much to insinuate.The images speak for them selves. -Game Informer
