According to a financial report released by publisher THQ Nordic today, developer Volition is working on an all-new entry in the Saints Row franchise and has been doing so for some time. Once a simple GTA-clone, Saints Row has since gone on to forge its own path in the gaming landscape by adding unrealistic but entertaining mechanics like alien VR simulations, ragdoll insurance fraud, and superpowers. THQ Nordic says they expect to launch a minimum of two AAA games before March of 2021 and strongly hinted that one of those would be a new Saints Row, which also has a movie coming from director F....

While 30Hz is good enough for movies, our own Seth Weintraub found on his bargain Seiki that it gives a poor experience when scrolling webpages, and is of course completely unusable for games....
