Saint's Row 2 Forgets the Trophies...and the Clothes

With Saint's Row 2 hitting store shelves today, we thought we'd tidy up some related news to the 2 player co-op title.

First the bad news.  The PlayStation 3 version of Saint's Row 2 won't have trophy support, despite previous talk about said feature.  So if you have a slight addiction to the dings and dongs of Achievements or Trophies, the 360 version is your best bet.

Now the good news.  Saint's Row 2 features boobies.  Lots and lots of boobies.  Normally this would mean one thing... scandal!  But it actually doesn't concern publisher THQ.  In fact, according to a recent interview with Edge Online, the folks at THQ and developer Volition have worked very closely with the ESRB to make sure the game meets the ratings guidelines.  This actually allowed for full frontal nudity.

Schwing!

Don't get too excited yet.  The nudity in the game is actually blurred out, and even if some inventful hackers try to find a way to remove it, they will be greeted with an asexual like texture underneath.  All of this work is for a "streaking" mini game in Saint's Row 2 that lets you score points for running your bare derriere in front of onlookers as long as possible.

I'm getting used to trophies not being included in PS3 games. I'd prefer they were included however. I wish Sony would mandate trophies for all games like MS does. Maybe that would encourage more support. Of course there are negatives to doing that and maybe Sony isn't in a position at this juncture to risk making developers/publishers angry.

All that being said, I went with the PS3 version specifically because I have the most opportunities to play coop on that platform (more friends buying the PS3 version). Although achievements and trophies are nice, I don't make game decisions solely based on that feature.
