Saints Row 2 canonizes porn star

Tera Patrick assumes "special producer" position on Volition's tongue-in-cheek open-world action game.

While Grand Theft Auto IV took the series in a more serious direction, THQ and Volition are going in the opposite direction with their GTA-inspired open-world action series, Saints Row.

The publisher updated its official Saints Row 2 Web site last night with the news that adult film star Tera Patrick (Reign of Tera 2, Soul Plane) has begun working on the game as a "special producer." According to the site, Patrick will be "bringing her one-of-a-kind touch to the project."

This is not the first time an adult film star has appeared in games. Jenna Jameson (Zombie Strippers, Nash Bridges) provided vocal work for Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4.

Saints Row 2 is set for release later this year on the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC. For more on the game, check out GameSpot's previous coverage.

    Rofl, have you guys seen the Tera Patrick Dev diary thing on THQs site? If there was any doubts before why she was hired, there are none after watching that. http://www.thq-games.com/uk/thqtv/index/1781

    Also the obsession of internet males putting down women's looks is loathsome and hypocritical. Most of you are ugly beyond comprehension. Save the criticism of women for your personal life.

    All of these wild, moralistic/legalistic, speculative rants are amusing. THQ is doing anything and everything it can to get some media spotlight. Nothing more, nothing less.

    Wasn't there also a porn star in one of the wing commander games that had FMV with Mark Hamill? I seem to remember it was the mechanic.

    I have this wierd feeling... that Tera is going to voice some new character in Saints Row 2 that will help the Saints.

    Then there is a very familiar feeling when I look at that picture... the feeling that it was photoshopped.

    berkie420 if you can't find a way to say something without cursing and swearing you need a larger vocabulary.

    The only thing that keeps me coming to this site is all the cry babys. (Mods included). This website will take away your comment or ban you for being truthful. Ive been a staunch GS supporter for years, making many comments. I hate to leave and never come back here, but Ive been treated like a jerk by this sites moderators. So thanks gs for the good years (All till Gerstmangate). this site is a joke now.

    Wow Ive been reading everyones comments. I guess if looking at porn makes people pervert then I guess then that Im the king of pervs. Grow up, seriously. So what she makes adult films. They are all great quality and very educational lol. If this is the biggest thing that you have to worry about or discuss then I feel sorry for you. By the way. Saints Row is everything that GTA shouldve been. Saints row is much better.

    Why spend 60 dollars to see some pixelated version of a worn out porn star when you can probably see the real worn out porn star on a free web site somewhere?

    This is a new low. Having somebody like that in the game is too distracting from the game play & SR2 must have a seriously bad story line to have to resort to putting something distracting like this in the game. This isn't something to be glorified.

    It's also tacky. I thought Mr. Softy was trying to quelch such games so that it could maintain a "family oriented" feel for its consoles?
    I want to play games without feeling like a pervert.
