Saint’s Row the Third’s Whored mode: “you’re fighting waves of 20 ft tall strippers, or 1 ft tall coke cans”
When we got the chance to get a word with Saint's Row the Third's Lead Designer Scott Phillips we asked him about the newly announced Whored mode.
XG247 (Sam Clay):You’ve just announced a new game mode, could you tell us about it?
Scott Phillips: Whored is slightly differently spelled to the way you’d normally spell Horde, which is the whole point. The idea was that in Saint’s Row 2 we had a mode called zombie uprising which was our take on fighting waves and waves of zombies, so what we wanted to do with Saints Row the Third is kind of take it to a different ridiculous level. You’re not fighting waves and waves of the same enemies, you’re fighting waves of 20 ft tall strippers, or 1 ft tall coke cans, it’s just all the ridiculous stuff we have in the campaign taken to a new level of ridiculousness.
XG247 (Sam Clay):Will whored mode be co-op?
Scott Phillips: Yes. You can play it by yourself or you can play the 3 maps (each with 30 waves unique to each map) in 2 player co-op.
Trust Saint's Row to bust out a mode called "Whored Mode". On the surface it seems like a laugh or even a mickey take, but if you step back and look at it, Saint's Row's developer team have been smart to make sure the waves you take on are varied, in other games you can get bored once you hit round 25 of the same enemies.
