"The Streets of Stilwater" is the opening cutscene in ''Saints Row'', shown upon completion of the creation of [[Playa]].

==Details==

It begins with The Protagonist walking down a street in the [[Saint's Row]] District{{ref|NewscastsTheStreetsofStilwater|'''Newcast''': {{section|Newscasts|The Streets of Stilwater}} }} at night and, after ignoring a jewellery merchant selling watches, he is stopped by a prostitute offering her services.

−
Just down the road, Vice Kings gang members are arguing about a Westside Rollerz graffiti [[tag]] that they come across. Levar, one of the three gang members, decides to tag over it, but the three are abruptly stopped by some Westside Rollerz gang members in the area. A fistfight ensues, and during it, [[Los Carnales]] gang members show up in a [[Hollywood]] and begin a drive-by shooting. All three of the gangs present begin an all-out gunfight, culminating in the Carnales car being fired upon by a Westside Rollerz gang member with a [[K6 Krukov]]. The driver is killed, and his foot hits the pedal, causing the car to speed off with no comandeering.
 +
Around the corner, Levar, accompanied by 2 unnamed Vice King gang members, decide to [[tag]] over Westside Rollerz graffiti, but the three are abruptly stopped by three Rollerz gang members in the area. The Rollerz start the fight by hitting one of the Vice Kings with a baseball bat and a fistfight ensues. After exchanging blows, one of the Rollerz flees past Playa, with Levar throwing his spray can after him.
   
  +
Three [[Carnales]] gang members arrive in a [[Hollywood]] and open fire on both the Rollerz and Vice Kings. The Vice Kings and remaining Rollerz draw their weapons and a gun battle ensues during which one Carnales is killed and along with two of the Vice Kings and all the Rollerz. After Levar is gunned down, the Roller who escaped earlier returns with a [[K6 Krukov]] and starts firing at the Carnales, as the prostitute and Playa run across the road in different directions. The Carnale driver is killed, and his foot hits the pedal, causing the car to speed off wildly.
−
The Protagonist dives and just narrowly avoids being hit by the car (which hits a wall) but, due to an injury sustained in the gunfight, cannot get back up. The Protagonist is approached by the only surviving gang member, from the Vice Kings group, who simply states "Wrong time, wrong place, dawg", before raising a [[GDHC .50]] at him, presumably because The Protagonist is a witness. As he is about to pull the trigger, the screen cuts to black, and a gunshot is heard.
  
   
  +
The prostitute, having run directly across the road, is well out of the way of the speeding car, but Playa having run diagonally, narrowly avoids being hit by the car by jumping out of the way, and is apparently injured and does not get back up. The Roller with the assault rifle executes the surviving Carnale, and is in turn shot in the head by the surviving Vice King, who approaches Playa. Stating "Wrong time, wrong place, dawg", he raises a [[GDHC .50]] at him, aiming to dispose of any witnesses, but as he is about to pull the trigger, the screen cuts to black, and a gunshot is heard.
⚫
It turns out that the shot was fired by [[Troy]], a member of the [[3rd Street Saints]]. Along with [[Julius Little]], the leader of the 3rd Street Saints, Troy saved The Protagonist and provides back-up as Julius helps The Protagonist up and across the road to safety. While doing so, the Carnales' car explodes, which may have killed The Protagonist if not for Troy and Julius. Julius tells The Protagonist that the injury isn't so bad and that he'll be alright. He continues:

===Location===
  +
The cutscene takes place on a stretch of road in [[Harrowgate]], between Rim Jobs and the [[Stilwater Police Department|Stilwater Police]] Precinct 4 building.{{ref|image=The_Streets_of_Stilwater_-_cutscene_location_on_map.png|Location on map}} Visible landmarks in the cutscene are a 1 Hour Photo building{{ref|image=The_Streets_of_Stilwater_-_view_of_1_Hour_Photo_corner_from_Graffiti_location.png|1 Hour Photo}}, Chuk Nuik's Books{{ref|image=The_Streets_of_Stilwater_-_view_of_Chuk_Nuik's_Books_to_the_east_from_Prostitute_location.png|Chuk Nuik's Books}}, Bob's Liquor{{ref|image=The_Streets_of_Stilwater_-_view_of_Bob's_Liquor_to_the_east_of_graffiti_location.png|Bob's Liquor}}, Pizzeria Bolle{{ref|image=The_Streets_of_Stilwater_-_view_of_Pizzeria_Bolle_from_crash_scene.png|Pizzeria Bolle}}, and several distinctive houses. The graffiti itself does not appear outside the cutscene.{{ref|image=The_Streets_of_Stilwater_-_view_north_from_graffiti_out_of_cutscene.png|No graffiti outside of cutscene}}
  +
  +
The 4 locations in the cutscene are around the same intersection.
  +
*The location of the watch seller is the south side of the 1 Hour Photo building in the north west corner.
  +
*The location of the graffiti is the east side of the 1 Hour Photo building in the north west corner.
  +
*The location where Troy saves [[Playa]] is on the north side of the building in the south west corner.
  +
*The location where Julius and Troy take Playa is on the west side of the building in the south east corner.
  +
  +
In the scene where Levar throws the can of spray paint, he turns the corner of the 1 Hour Photo building, with the graffiti location visible behind him to the north{{ref|image=The Streets of Stilwater - Levar turns the 1 Hour Photo corner before throwing the spray can towards Playa.png|Levar turns the 1 Hour Photo corner before throwing the spray can towards Playa}}, and the watch seller ahead of him to the west{{ref|image=The Streets of Stilwater - Levar throws spraypaint can towards Playa from corner.png|Levar throws spraypaint can towards Playa from corner}}, demonstrating that it is impossible to see the graffiti location from where Playa is standing. The re-creation of this scene in ''[[Saints Row IV]]''{{ref|'''Mission''': [[King Me]]}} does not faithfully recreate the scene, and has the Vice Kings down the same street as Playa.

* It is unknown how exactly [[The Protagonist]] gets wounded in the cutscene. He limps, using Julius for support, as they escape, so it is possible he sprained his ankle as he dived out of the way of the [[Carnales]]' [[Hollywood]], or the car grazed The Protagonist's leg.

You okay, playa?
— Julius Little's first words to Playa

"The Streets of Stilwater" is the opening cutscene in Saints Row, shown upon completion of the creation of Playa. As the first cutscene in the game, it introduces the player to their playable character; Playa, as well as Julius Little, Troy, and the four gangs vying for control of the city of Stilwater: the Vice Kings, the Westside Rollerz, the Carnales, and the 3rd Street Saints.

Details

Playa is walking down a street in the Saint's Row District[1] at night and, after ignoring a jewellery merchant selling watches, he is stopped by a prostitute offering her services.

Around the corner, Levar, accompanied by 2 unnamed Vice King gang members, decide to tag over Westside Rollerz graffiti, but the three are abruptly stopped by three Rollerz gang members in the area. The Rollerz start the fight by hitting one of the Vice Kings with a baseball bat and a fistfight ensues. After exchanging blows, one of the Rollerz flees past Playa, with Levar throwing his spray can after him.

Three Carnales gang members arrive in a Hollywood and open fire on both the Rollerz and Vice Kings. The Vice Kings and remaining Rollerz draw their weapons and a gun battle ensues during which one Carnales is killed and along with two of the Vice Kings and all the Rollerz. After Levar is gunned down, the Roller who escaped earlier returns with a K6 Krukov and starts firing at the Carnales, as the prostitute and Playa run across the road in different directions. The Carnale driver is killed, and his foot hits the pedal, causing the car to speed off wildly.

The prostitute, having run directly across the road, is well out of the way of the speeding car, but Playa having run diagonally, narrowly avoids being hit by the car by jumping out of the way, and is apparently injured and does not get back up. The Roller with the assault rifle executes the surviving Carnale, and is in turn shot in the head by the surviving Vice King, who approaches Playa. Stating "Wrong time, wrong place, dawg", he raises a GDHC .50 at him, aiming to dispose of any witnesses, but as he is about to pull the trigger, the screen cuts to black, and a gunshot is heard.

It turns out that the shot is fired by Troy, a member of the 3rd Street Saints. Along with Julius Little, the leader of the 3rd Street Saints, they help Playa up and across the road to safety, during which the Carnales' car explodes.

After crossing the road to a third corner, Julius invites Playa to join his gang.

The Row's got a problem. Come to the church when you wanna be a part of the solution.
— Julius Little

After the cutscene, the player is given control of Playa for the first time, and has the option to begin the first mission of the game; "Canonized".

Location

The cutscene takes place on a stretch of road in Harrowgate, between Rim Jobs and the Stilwater Police Precinct 4 building.[2] Visible landmarks in the cutscene are a 1 Hour Photo building[3], Chuk Nuik's Books[4], Bob's Liquor[5], Pizzeria Bolle[6], and several distinctive houses. The graffiti itself does not appear outside the cutscene.[7]

The 4 locations in the cutscene are around the same intersection.

  • The location of the watch seller is the south side of the 1 Hour Photo building in the north west corner.
  • The location of the graffiti is the east side of the 1 Hour Photo building in the north west corner.
  • The location where Troy saves Playa is on the north side of the building in the south west corner.
  • The location where Julius and Troy take Playa is on the west side of the building in the south east corner.

In the scene where Levar throws the can of spray paint, he turns the corner of the 1 Hour Photo building, with the graffiti location visible behind him to the north[8], and the watch seller ahead of him to the west[9], demonstrating that it is impossible to see the graffiti location from where Playa is standing. The re-creation of this scene in Saints Row IV[10] does not faithfully recreate the scene, and has the Vice Kings down the same street as Playa.

Trivia

  • The prostitute's appearance is randomly generated each time the cutscene is played, either by restarting the game, or using a Theater.
  • "Buenas noches" is Spanish for "good night".
  • A Vice Kings member, Levar, sprays a Westside Rollerz member in the face using a spray can used for tagging. This is not possible to do in the game itself.
  • The Westside Rollerz gang member wielding the K6 Krukov has an Ultor logo on the brim of his hat.[11]
  • It is unknown how exactly Playa gets wounded in the cutscene. He limps, using Julius for support, as they escape, so it is possible he sprained his ankle as he dived out of the way of the Carnales' Hollywood, or the car grazed Playa's leg.
  • When the game is saved before beginning the first mission, Canonized, the save file reads "Meeting the Saints", along with "0%" game completion. Usually, after saving a game in Saints Row at any other time, the save file reads the last completed mission.[12]
  • The Hollywood Los Carnales are driving has blue underglow, a feature that is not available in Vehicle Customization until Saints Row: The Third.
  • The cutscene takes place at 10pm, after the cutscene the time is 9am.
  • The game files include an unused Bum variant.[13]
