Now, hooray, Volition have given the go-ahead to fix it up. They've been trying to get the source back for years and have now finally got in touch with someone who worked on the port way back when and was able to get ahold of it in some mysterious way. Volition explained on last night's stream that the PC source code had been out of their hands because the port was made by another studio. It's a right mess at the moment, mind, needing fan-made fixes and mods to run even half-decently. 2008's game is probably my favourite Saints Row, a wacky take on GTA coming just as GTA IV went all tediously self-serious, though of course I recognise Saints Row 4 is the best superhero game.
Developers Volition announced last night that they've found the source code to their cheery open-world murder simulator after years of wanting, so they can give it much-needed love. After years of being a crashy pain in the arse, Saints Row 2 is finally getting fixed up to play nicely on modern PCs.
