In a righteous world, this would be setting a wonderful precedent. Still, even with those minor hassles.this is a developer actively participating in preserving the history of their own games. that said, Unseen is kind enough to link to one of the better PSP emus out there, PPSSPP, right alongside the ISOs. Sadly, it's looking like actual PSPs modded to read ISOs won't play the thing either, though that doesn't seem to be an intentional screwjob so much as the side effect of this game only seeing the light of day via an official Sony dev kit. Naturally, the game's not finished, so it's buggy and glitchy as hell, and there's not a single thing Volition will be doing in terms of further support. And now, it's the permanent home of all the hard work that went into this unreleased 'Saints Row' title. If you've never visited, the place is an utter treasure trove of information on cancelled and unfinished video games, and needs to be in your bookmarks. In what's probably the coolest move by a developer in a really long time, right as the livestream was wrapping up, Volition uploaded the ISO file for the abandoned build of the game to Unseen 64. Alternately, you can just go download and play it yourself. From an archaeological perspective, it's a compelling watch, especially considering, even as rough a state as its in, some serious work had gone into this thing before the plug was pulled. Volition just wrapped up their livestream of the game that would be 'Saints Row Undercover', which you can watch here if you just want to flitter around and have a look. A 122-page PDF goes in-depth into the proposed features, story and mechanics of the title, while the slightly skimpier walkthrough has screenshots and notes on its various missions.Now, it belongs to the ages (and Unseen 64). In that video, the development team spoke of the PSP game's impressive open world with an enthusiasm that its publisher didn't quite share.įor more on the newly recovered Saints Row: Undercover, you can check out a series of design documents that Volition shared alongside yesterday's stream.
Despite this, the game itself is unfinished, although Volition confirmed it made it far into development prior to publisher THQ axing it.Ī glimpse of the unreleased Saints Row title was first seen in a documentary short on Volition's YouTube channel last week. Saints Row: Undercover works with any PSP emulator, and is fully playable, according to Unseen64.
The ISO file is hosted by gaming archival site Unseen64, which claims that Volition gave it hosting privileges of the download. The developer showed off the title on a livestream yesterday, during which it dropped a link to download the prototype. Volition Software has now made its previously canceled PSP game Saints Row: Undercover available to download for free.
