Hmmm...
To do:
There is so much to cover....
  • Lots of prerelease stuff, such as multiple story rewrites, early gang designs and a bigger map of Steelport.
  • Possible Saints Row 2 leftovers, such as Fuzz and Crowd Control activities.
  • Revisional differences, including a removed Punisher asset due to legal reasons.
Careful, you'll lose an eye.
This page or section needs more images.
There's a whole lotta words here, but not enough pictures. Please fix this.

Saints Row: The Third is the third game in the Saints Row series, funnily enough. And if possible, they've made the series even more ridiculous; boasting gangs made up of mafiosos in red tuxedos, big guys in wrestling masks, and emo computer hackers, a set of survival missions with the Cheshire Cat‑like Professor Genki, and of course, purple dildos as weapons. Such decision ended up being rather divisive towards fans.

This entry would end up being remastered in 2020, released as Saints Row: The Third Remastered sharing the exact same content unless noted.

Unused Graphics

Homie Contact Icons

SRTT Ui Homie Ambulance.pngSRTT Ui Homie Taxi.png

Icons for the Ambulance and Taxi Homie contact services, likely intended to return from Saints Row 2. They were likely removed for not serving much use.

Vehicle Logos

SRTT FiveOLogo.png

An unused, yet updated logo of the Five-O. It was likely intended to return alongside the Peacemaker, but the latter vehicle itself is internally referred to as the "Five-O" within the files.

SRTT FerDeLanceLogo.png

An old favorite from the original Saints Row. A similar-looking vehicle in Saints Row IV exists as the Peacemaker.

Hidden Date

Hidden within dynamic_tod is an internal time and date feature. The game automatically "starts" on April 17, 2004 and time passes from that point on. Judging from the date, it is likely an old leftover from the development of Saints Row as it had been in development since that time.

Cut Player Voice

Hmmm...
To do:
Proof or source? If there's nothing in the game's files, then this should be in a prerelease page.

The game has seven usable voices for the Protagonist: three male (White American, Afro-American and British), three female (American, Russian, Hispanic), and a zombie. However, cut from the game was an entirely Auto-Tuned voice. This idea was instead used for the NPC Zimos.

Unused Suits

Hmmm...
To do:
Screenshots.

A few unused suits can be found within the game's code and are fully accessible through a glitch involving the Saints Row IV Inauguration Station Demo and the online outfit service. These suits include a Hazmat Suit, a Nyte Blade outfit, and a fire-fighter suit. These suits were rumored to be part of a DLC pack, but were shelved at the end of the game's lifespan.

Oddities

Time of Day Glitch

Using a trainer to set the internal "time" to 0:00 will disable the shadows on all places.

Regional Differences

Japanese Version Changes

  • The infamous Penetrator weapon, or dildo bat, was changed between the Japanese and international release of the game. Whilst retaining the same physics as the international version, most of its "detail" has been removed, meaning it is now just a floppy baseball bat, along with the name being changed to the "Suspicious Bat" (怪しいバット). The model, icons and unlock screen artwork was even changed for it.
Japan International
  • In the cutscene where Oleg was being freed from the Syn Tower, he was originally naked but he now wears his default clothing in the Japanese version. However, the dialogue referencing to him being naked was untouched, even though it received a different translation in the Japanese subtitles.
Japanese Subtitles Translation Original Dialogue
The last time a big naked dude said he could help me, it did not end well.
大丈夫か? Are you alright? You want some clothes, man?
問題ない No problem. No time.
だから デカイ男は苦手なんだよな… Man, like I said, the last time a big naked dude...

German Version Changes

Just like the previous game, the German version disables the player from using non‑gang members or the police as human shields, as well as removing money rewards from killing pedestrians. In addition, killing pedestrians warns the police a lot quicker than in other versions of the game.

German players of the game can also only play with other German players (or anyone who owns the German copy of the game).

Revisional Differences

???

There used to be an online DLC which you needed to play multiplayer, upload characters to the (now dead) Saints Row site, and take screenshots. It costs $8.00 or 800 points. The GOG and Steam version already had multiplayer allowed.
