Saints Row: The Third
Saints Row: The Third is on sale this weekend, is the 3D any good to make it worth the purchase?

Unfortunately not, everything I've read indicates it shares some of the same major problems as other titles out of THQ recently, like the Red Faction games and Space Marine. Red Faction is made by the same studio as Saints Row for sure (Volition), but they may be sharing engine technology between dev studios (Relic made Space Marine).

I looked at Space Marine briefly with HeliX's tools and its probably beyond my ability to fix. There's about 4-5 different shaders that are composited to create a single object, like your character for example, but it seems as if they are all being fed different input vertex information. We can't just blank out the problem shaders either, because it just makes objects increasingly translucent as you blank out each layer. Maybe I will take a 2nd look at it now that I've learned a bit more about fixing shaders, I just haven't really bothered because the game was a bit of a let down overall for me.
