News: THQ spills more to CVG.
THQ's Vice President of Core Games, Danny Bilson, has told CVG that the Saints Row game in development for the 3DS will be titled Saints Row: Drive By and that it's also in the works for the Xbox Live Arcade. I'm beginning to worry that Bilson has a CVG writer chained up in his basement after all the announcements he has leaked to the website.
Bilson said: "Nintendo particularly wanted an M-rated game for 3DS's launch. We had it in production - we were doing a 3D version on XBL of Saints Row: Drive By. We haven't announced any of this yet, exactly. But it's all part of the plan leading to
Saints Row 3."
Bilson also revealed that Saints Row: Drive By will connect to Saints Row 3, making it one of the first games to offer cross-platform connectivity: "[A]ll of the games connect. So if you play one it unlocks stuff in the big game and back and forth and all that stuff."
We'll have more soon.
