Trivia[]
- In Saints Row, the Player Customization location is the interior of the block where The Streets of Stilwater takes place.[2][3]
- In Saints Row 2, after crashing a vehicle into something, Playa's expression temporarily changes to Angry.
- In Saints Row: The Third, there was going to be an eighth voice option which was fully auto tuned, similar to Zimos, but it was later removed from the game while still in development.[4]
- The Zombie voice option in Saints Row: The Third has a total of 12 different subtitle lines: Babbles, Garbled, Gargles, Groans, Growls, Grumbles, Grunts, Moans, Mumbles, Roars, Snarls and Sneers.
- There are several lines in the Saints Row: The Third game data for Player_WFA and Player_HM, as well as references to both male and female Asian Playa voices.
- The Eastern European Female 2 voice is referred to internally as "CUST_VOICE_FEMALE_BLACK" and "Player_BF".
- The British Male 3 voice is referred to internally as "CUST_VOICE_MALE_LATINO"
- The background music to the Player Creation screen in Saints Row IV is a remix of "Hail to the Chief", the United States Presidential anthem, originally written in 1812.[5]
- In Saints Row 2, when selecting "Male", and sliding the "Body Shape" slider below 0, the default version "Women's Bra 1" is automatically worn, but it does not appear in the Wardrobe. Selecting a Female adds a custom solid coloured version of the same bra to the Wardrobe.
- GameSpot falsely claimed that Saints Row: The Third would feature Tomonobu Itagaki as a character preset,[6] despite GameSpot's own video clearly showing Itagaki creating his character through the normal character creation process.[7]
Allusions[]
- The compliment "It's Not Unusual" is a reference to the dance Carlton Banks, from The Fresh Prince of Bel Air, did while playing the song 'It's Not Unusual' by Tom Jones.
- "The Marine" taunt is a reference to WWE professional wrestler John Cena, who uses this "You can't see me" action as his signature taunt, and starred in the 2006 film The Marine.
- The "Angelmania" taunt is a reference to Hulk Hogan, who voices Angel.
- The "Quarter Circle Forward + A" taunt is a reference to the Hadouken move in the Street Fighter franchise, which itself is based on the Kamehameha move from the Dragonball franchise. Pierce and Playa also do this action when using the fireball attack when under the influence of Saints Flow, albeit faster and throwing a fireball.
- "The King" Compliment is a reference to Elvis Presley, doing one of his trademark moves and copying his famous saying "Thank you, thank you very much".
- The "Nature Boy" Taunt is a reference to professional wrestler, Ric Flair, which involves Flair's trademark march and "WOO" call.
- The "Smooth Criminal" Taunt and "The Experience" Compliment are references to Michael Jackson, doing one of his moves and his trademark call.
- During the Player Customization segment after When Good Heists Go Bad, one of the lines said by the police is "Prisoner 1138, please step forward" which is a reference to George Lucas' first film THX 1138.
- Several hairstyles in the game are an allusion to the following actors: Demi Moore (Demure Long Style), Jon Hamm (Made Man), Marilyn Monroe (Marilyn Curls), Milla Jovovich (Short And Wavy), John Travolta (The Greaser), Janet Leigh (Vintage Short Waves).
- The "Wild Stallions" Compliment is a reference to the band Wyld Stallyns from the Bill & Ted franchise, and resembles air guitar used in the films.
