SAINTS ROW 4

Saints Row the Third Getting Enter the Dominatrix Spin-Off This Fall 05/03/12By Robert Workman

One bright spot for THQ continues to be Saints Row: The Third, the wildly over-the-top action game where you and your fellow gangsters wreak havoc throughout Steelport, shutting down rival gangs while doing outlandish stunts.  Today they were happy to announce that the fun will continue this fall with the release of a spin-off called Enter the Dominatrix, which features a full-blown alien invasion.

In the game, you’ll take on “alien warlord Zinyak and his malevolent race” as they attempt to steal Earth’s resources (including women) for their own personal use.  Leading this charge is Paul, an alien who conspicuously dresses in a can of Saints Flow energy drink.  Really, who names an alien Paul?!

For Saints Row: The Third owners hoping this is DLC for the current game, it is not.  Enter the Dominatrix is a separate game release that THQ will sell both digitally and through retail, and it doesn’t have any tie-ins to the previously released Season Pass.  The company has it inexpensively-priced at $29.99, and you won’t require the original Saints Row to get into it.

Enter the Dominatrix releases this fall.  Stay tuned for an in-depth preview and plenty of shenanigans.

05/10/12 - Why release it as a new game? I get that a expansion as big as this would take up a lot of space and time to download, but I don't want to create a brand new character and have to get all my upgrades up again. I also don't want to juggle disks around whenever I want to play SR3 or Enter the Dominatrix. It seems similar to what Bungie did with Halo 3 and ODST, starting off as calling it an expansion but then making something entirely new. I am still happy to get it, but I want to use the DLC that I already bought in it, and vice versa with anything we earn in the spin off, like super powers, or new vehicles. It would be a waste to make us pay 60 dollars for a game that was only supported for one year, then make us buy a brand new game.
