The PC port of Saints Row 2 faced various criticisms due to significant technical issues since its release. Players reported defects in the cutscenes, with characters often not appearing correctly or moving strangely, along with audio glitches that made the dialogues sound distorted. Additionally, the graphical options were limited, with resolution issues and unattractive visual effects, such as water turning black at a distance.
A version of Saints Row like you’ve seen before, but even better
To address these complaints, a new update called Saints Row 2 Juiced has been released. This update promises to fix the bugs of the original port and adds over 30 new animations that were previously only available in the Xbox 360 version. It also improves gamma settings, allowing for a more pleasant visual experience. One of the main innovations is VanillaFXPlus, a visual change that enhances contrast and color vibrancy by disabling the original game filter.
Additionally, the new patch offers the option to keep a weapon equipped even when it runs out of ammunition, which is a change that many players will find convenient. The developers have not only worked on aesthetic and functional improvements, but they have also confirmed that the multiplayer mode is operational again.
With the arrival of the Juiced update, anticipation heats up for the upcoming DLC project of Saints Row 2, which promises to bring exclusive console content to PC. This DLC will include new missions and customization options that have been absent on the platform for over a decade. Players have reasons to be excited; they will finally be able to enjoy content like Ultor Exposed, Corporate Warfare, and The Unkut Pak in their PC version.
