Saints Row: The Third Remastered is a "3master" of the original game, with completely redone visuals and human-like graphics, coming with (almost) all DLC included. The revamped graphics are just as debatable as the game itself.

Since the game was built off from the original, much of the unused content from there remains in the game files. This page will only cover content exclusive to this version.

Leftover DLC#

The Bloodsucker DLC wasn't given to players (nor is this DLC given to players who purchase The Third: The Full Package) due to "balance issues". Despite it not being given to players of Remastered, it's still left in the files and can be reactivated using modding tools.

Once activated, you will get all the perks of the original DLC, though the game doesn't directly tell you the DLC is unlocked (as all DLC would normally be auto-unlocked from the start). You can still make sure you have the DLC by checking for Skill - Vampire in the Abilities section of the Upgrades app on the phone. The skill shown in Remastered.

Development Oversights#

The remaster of Saints Row The Third has various oversights that weren't present in the original game.

Gameplay#

Trailblazing#

Oddly, playing this activity in this version will result in the player character screaming while they are on fire, likely due to a programming error.

Planet Saints Wall Texture#

Notably in the remaster, the Planet Saints wall texture appears to have corruption artifacts that don't appear in the original game.

HUD Icons#

Many HUD Icons for certain characters when called as homies, have different character designs.

Johnny Tag's Icon#

To do:
Get a graphic rip, too and the name of it.

Johnny Tag's hair and eyebrows for his HUD icon when called as a homie is white instead of black.

Jimmy Torbitson's Icon#

Jimmy Torbitson's HUD icon has no hair, a completely different facial structure, and has white glasses instead of black glasses.
