SPOILERS Your Pros+Cons about the remaster?

Pros: Looks great
Cons: Feels like an alpha or beta release with bugs everywhere. Some of the UI text scaling is off, not all tutorial messages work, sometimes I fall through the level or get stuck in it (clipping issues), and random crashing (forgiveable since I can usually play several hours before most of this stuff happens).
 
Yeah my main problem is the fact that the stag uniform has no neck unless you wear the helmet, the decker specialist outfit floats of the ground cause they removed the rollerblades (they clearly use the enemy model for the player outfit, so they made the wheels invisible) and the Morningstar soldier outfit looks like it has flippers on it XD kinda sounds stupid when I type this out.. but there literally the only outfits I like. I think they could've left the wheels on the decker outfit.. or at least given it heels. View attachment 26145
Got pictures of these issues? they must look funny :D:D
 
Pros: Likely all things are looking better, improved. Especially, I like the how the guns are looks like now.

Cons: There's a specific bug STILL there, which is: Whenever the character's head tilts to back. Like when; raise the head, looking up, crouch. Under the jaw bulging out, or it's getting fat. This bug was in Saints Row: The Third, Saints Row IV and Saints Row: Gat out of Hell. And it still doesn't fixed.

Edit: And there's no botherless screen mode.

May I recommend you do a search for Borderless Gaming? (I don't know what the rules are for linking to other sites.) You'll find a Github with the aforementioned program that solves this problem. I'm using it now and it works rather well. Granted, this should not be necessary.
 
I think the city in the game looks amazing, they've done a great job on the graphics there. My character though, well she doesn't look as good as Saints Row 4 and I think that's partly due to the weird lighting effects and the skin textures. Sometimes my character has a wet skin look when she doesn't have that option selected at all from the character creation/editing and it's strange. (The time of day affects this too and what colours are coming from sunlight, so at times it's not so bad.)

Another thing that's really bugging me at the moment is that I played for a while to unlock Kinzie as a homie but I can't call her, she's always busy. Now all of the others seem busy too and on reddit someone said this is an old bug carried over from the original. It's insane if they don't patch that because we're losing out on being able to play with them and I think that's a major bug really.

This is my first time playing SR3 too, I got into this series from Saints Row 4 where I have the game on Playstation and PC, at the moment I only have this on base PS4 so maybe that partly explains character graphics issues.

A couple of other good things so this isn't almost all negative : I thought I'd really miss the freedom of movement from SR4 (a big reason why I got SR4) but I haven't missed it that much at all. You get stuff to fly around in really early on and I'm enjoying driving around, which obviously isn't done as much when you have modded superpowers for SR4 and can jump several blocks away at a time and also manipulate the gliding effect so you can fly across the entire city. So that's also great (and not missing Zin propaganda all over where ads should be too!)

It looks like there's loads to do as well and like I'll really enjoy playing this for a good while to come, but I'd really like to do that with homies that I can call up too, so hopefully this issue either passes or it's fixed in a patch (I know you have to unlock this option too and have had them at times, have been stuck for a while though now with none. I'll post back to quickly mention it if it passes.)

edit : I could recently call Oleg, Zimos and CheapyD, but still no luck with Kinzie, Shaundi, Pierce or Voila. Maybe that'll pass at some stage or if it's a big it'll be fixed. My next mission is Stop All The Downloading for 3rd stronghold so maybe it's something to do with the stage of the game too, but I've not once been able to call Kinzie yet so it seems off.

Have seen another thread (that got locked recently) here where people are talking about the lighting and how characters look worse too. When it comes to NPC's I think they look fine (they seem to have better textures too), my main issue is our own character.

edit : Kinzie responded to a call after Stop all the Downloading. Finally! The way I'd done missions must've meant she was classed as busy for ages.

Thank you, it worked.
