Topic on Talk:Saints Row 2
The developers have confirmed that the updated SR2 is going to be released as a separate game (will be free for existing owners at Steam) and existing saves from the old version won't be compatible. (Source: https://steamcommunity.com/app/9480/discussions/0/1608274347718992744/?ctp=4#c2803982773086805444)
Lots of bugs and workarounds of the old 2009 version will be irrelevant as well. I don't think any timing related issues will be in the upcoming port.
Due to having a new appid and lots of content and internal differences, I think the new Saints Row 2 port should deserve a separate page in this wiki.
I've been making a stub page for the upcoming SR2 port in User:Nclok1405/SaintsRow2UpdatedStub. I'm planning to move it to the main namespace when the new SR2's appid is announced, but any opinions are welcome.
