Saints Row 2 DLC Details Revealed

image

Saints Row 2's first DLC pack, Ultor Exposed, will feature new missions, vehicles and maps, and add a bonafide adult entertainment star to the cast of the already morally questionable game.

Saints Row 2 is a game in which you're tasked with spraying human excrement on people and buildings by operating a vehicle affectionately referred to as the "doodoo truck." A game in which a minigame has you trying to inflict as much physical harm to your character in order to rack up money via insurance fraud. A game in which you can toss old ladies off cliffs.

How do you make a game like Saints Row 2 even more ridiculously juvenile? Add a genuine, world famous porn star to its cast of virtual delinquents. Tera Patrick, one of the biggest names in adult film, will be one of your new in-game "homies" in Saints Row 2's first DLC pack, Ultor Exposed, due on Xbox 360 and PS3 on April 16 for 800 Microsoft Points or $9.99.

Patrick's character will play a pivotal role in the DLC's new mission arc, which will consist of three new missions that Volition wagers will take gamers a couple hours to get through. Aside from the new mission arc, Ultor Exposed will also add six new vehicles, more ridiculous hairdos and outfits, new multiplayer maps, and a new co-op metagame that tracks your performance during missions in co-op and hands out bonus cash to the player with the better score.

But anyway, about the porn star, who has been working on the game as a producer, but who nobody ever said anything about being in the game. How did this even happen? According to Volition, it's all about rewarding players for playing Saints Row 2 and Ultor Exposed, whatever that means. Plus, her appearance in the game lends itself perfectly to the over-the-top silliness that defines Saints Row.

"Consider this: You've got Tera Patrick on speed dial," Volition's James Torbit described. "She's unloading an assault rifle into a Masako super soldier while you're driving around a truck full of dead bodies. In your garage you've got an armored vehicle that fires heat-seeking missiles as fast as you can pull the trigger... and you're wearing a new alien costume. Honestly, WTF is going on here?"

Volition will be starting work on the next DLC pack as soon as work wraps on Ultor Exposed. They say it'll be out in less time than it took for Ultor Exposed to come.

Oh, when they said she had joined the team, I thought they meant they had put her into the game, a la Slash in GHIII.

Little late night news is always appreciated :), anyway, I will have to purchase this DLc seeing as how I have all of her movies!

I kid, sounds like she will fit in nicely with the likes of Johnny

How about instead of making new DLC, they start patching their already screwed up PC version.

...I'm getting live for this. Screw online play, screw being able to insult people I've never met, I want to get me some goodies. Now how to do it...It can't be that hard, idiot 9 year olds do it all the time. ON TO VICTORY/MORE RANDOM CONTENT IN BIG LETTERS.

Volition needs to work on the patches for both the console versions and the PC version. Though the new missions will be nice.

It was only a matter of time until the Porn and video game industries started to merge since both have a similar target audience. It will probably double their sales right there...sadly

Ah, fantastic, I've been waiting for this.
The DLC, that is, not the pornstar.

I'm looking forward to this. I played the hell out of SR2, and some new missions are just what I need until 3 comes out. Now if only the Valkyria DLC would come soon as well.

Sweet, looks like fun.

But seriously, whats the big deal about Tera Patrick? Its not as if shes having sex with everything in the game or something, its just another new character. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go look up Tera Patrick's movies.

It's not so new, one of the earlier Wing Commanders had a porn star playing one of the main characters, I sense it's just easy column inches getting Tera Patrick on board, insert your own double entendres as necessary.

Of course, quite a few people leave the adult industry and try to break into something more mainstream and this could be a first step for Tera.

Oh no. This means I need to play through the game again.

Too late for me, I traded the game in after a week couldnt cope with the graphical glitches, poor driving controls and rubbish matchmaking online, and they got rid of the chain collecting mini game I used to love that.

Although i did like the British voice for my character

Broken game is broken. =(

Well well well. Saints Row once more immitates GTA, but far too late and far less impressive. I remember that Jenna Jameson, pretty much the most famous pornstar on earth after that woman who testified against Nixon in Watergate, played a pretty signifigant role in Vice City.

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet. Saint's Row is bringing back the over-the-top action of the old GTA games, bit by bit. Keep on truckin', Volition!

Any idea if its going to be released on pc.

Damnit! I KNEW us PC gamers would get screwed over. Hell, I was surprised that the PC version of Saints Row 2 wasn't just an $80, 10 hour long Rickroll, turned out it was actually a pretty sweet game, which just makes this even more disapointing
