THQ and developer Volition have hired Penthouse Pets Heather Vandeven, Justine Joli, Heidi Baron, Shay Laren, Ryan Keely, and Nikki Benz to promote the new Saints Row: The Third video game at San Diego Comic-Con 2011. The girls will comprise the new Saints Row Quality Assurance Team, dedicated wholly to complete customer satisfaction. The Saints Row Quality Assurance team promises to ensure a satisfying Saints Row experience whether playing alone or with a friend. And gamers can meet these sexy ladies one-on-one at the THQ booth throughout the convention.
“We personally handpicked this QA team and the Penthouse brand based on a number of key factors: their passion for Saints Row; their sense of style and Saints Row attitude; and above all, their desire to give every player a unique, over-the-top, unforgettable experience,” said Greg Donovan, lead producer, Saints Row: The Third. “In the end, their selfless efforts are going to put a lot of smiles on a lot of faces.”
Vandeven, Joli, Baron, Laren, Keely and Benz have been such a boon to development that THQ and Volition will release a special downloadable content pack in Saints Row: The Third inspired by the QA team – a rare homage to the dedicated developers charged with quality assurance.
“QA is typically thankless, where a good job rarely garners recognition. Well that ends today,” said Scott Phillips, lead designer,Saints Row: The Third. “With the passion our QA team puts into this labor of love, a DLC pack is the least we can do.”
The Saints Row Quality Assurance Team will be attending at Comic-Con in San Diego this week in support of Saints Row: The Third, posing for pictures and signing autographs at the Saints Row booth, number 5145.
Years after taking Stilwater for their own, the Third Street Saints have evolved from street gang to household brand name, with Saints sneakers, Saints energy drinks and Johnny Gat bobble head dolls all available at a store near you. The Saints are kings of Stilwater, but their celebrity status has not gone unnoticed. The Syndicate, a legendary criminal fraternity with pawns in play all over the globe, has turned its eye on the Saints and demands tribute. Refusing to kneel to the Syndicate, you take the fight to a new city, playing out the most outlandish gameplay scenarios ever seen. Strap it on.
