SORRY FOR THE DELAY EVERYONE! I ran into some technical issues while attempting to export the video but I guess that's only fitting for the subject matter.
Incase you missed the teaser video, I just want to reiterate some information. The NDA video is still coming! I had to finish this project first just to clear up enough memory on my PC to continue working on the bigger project. As for my recent absence, an unexpected family tragedy occurred which needed my full attention. Things are better now and I’m back to work. I just want to thank you for your continued patience through all this and I assure you it will be worth it.
You're good bro
Thanks for the video 🦖
You are great bro. See i keep telling the fans to be patient and patient until you are ready to release it.
We're beyond glad you're ok, and don't worry about the delays and the effort, and we'll put together commentary make the videos worth it.
@@mrsaintsgodzilla21 that's okay mrsaintsgodzilla21. It's all fine here. Sorry to hear you incurred a family tragedy here. Hope you are feeling okay here ♥ 🐀
Saints Row 2 gets 10 year long investigations, and the reboot is already forgotten except for people mourning the death of the series.
What reboot 😂
What reboot
And what death?
The new game was less of a saints row, and more of a goodbye passion project from the crew at volition.
I still play and enjoy the reboot I love all the games in the series NGL
All this before Gta 6 launched lol 😂
My favourite thing about the freezer is it sounds like a complete BS creepypasta, a ghost that appears and bricks your game while glitching out of bounds, but it's real.
4:55 105 minutes in Furry Love is something that needs an investigation
Fully agree
AYO
Under that said furry lust🤨
Yeah yeah!
Has anyone seen The Freezer and SaintGodZilla in the same room? Exactly! A conspiracy...
THIS LITTLE RAT IS GUILTY!
in reality if you glitch out of bounds in zombie uprising saintsgodzilla comes to your house and breaks your xbox with a hammer
Is this freezer in the room with us
@@theonlyplainYes and talking in the video at the same time.
What if The Freezer is SpaceGodZilla?
Next up the final investigation of the Merhman in the Saints Row demo.
Maybe NPC just died in the water? That's how it looked on Flippy's video for me
that was a really intriguing one, I remember how cool I thought it was when I first saw the videos made about it.
Glad to see you see you here
I’ve been wanting to conclude the Mehrman mystery too but it keeps getting pushed back. I’m also just waiting on one crucial element to properly wrap up the whole mystery… Just waiting for a email response 👀
@@mrsaintsgodzilla21You’re a legend, sir!
the broken disc you got it lowkey creepy as fuck 😭 its an actual ben drowned creepypasta
I had a SR1 disc like it once, every character model was stretched as hell and like John Carpenter's Thing and it would happen in cutscenes too. You also couldn't leave the Saints row district because you'd either crash or fall through the map.
@@Athidius Holy shit I have this exact SR1 disc too, the intro cutscene everyone walked all stretched and disfigured and even the car tyres would be above the car and all off it was so funny when I saw it
Saints Row 2: "Son of a bitch!"
*Has a manly as fuck handshake with The Sims 2 over both of them being the fan favorites of their respective franchises still beloved to this day*
Dead rising too frfr
@@taimereblackston9891dead rising 1 is the fan favorite
lol just because a group of the fan base is unable to move on past a 20 year old game doesn’t mean it’s a ‘fan favorite’
@@TheSCPStudio no one said thats why, u did. its still the fan favorite whether u feel that way or not lmao.
@@TheSCPStudio also dead rising 2 is approaching 20 years aswell so great point bud😭
Sweet glad you did this thing on the anniversary of the freezer. OddHeadder thought it was fake
I thought it was fake
To OddHeader's credit, it all sounded like an elaborate creepypasta and no one knew how random it truly is in order to replicate it for concrete proof. I'm sure he'd be happy to update his viewers on it.
@@DaxMarko yeah
if this IS fake its damn well done
but still honestly i do think it is
Oddheader thinks/says a lot of things.
TEN FUCKING YEARS.
And 26 minutes
Roadhouse
10 Years it has been. Holy damn 👀
@@InternetMouse AND 26 MINUTES
Roadhouse
In the joint

13:47 I love the idea that there might be a huge insane mystery in the reboot that just no-one's ever bothered to look into because of how @ss the game is
I had asked about that and found it so weird how hands off the devs were regarding it but even weirder that it's like everyone gave up on it all at the same time.
Part of me thinks this will be one of those things solved a few years into the future but not by some player but a former worker who'll pop up and go 'Yeah, I forgot about that, it glitched out and we never fixed it.'
or something.
It's like whatever they had planned as the end goal of it it will be an underwhelming disappointment.
13:35 This is just because aircrafts share the same class as every other types of vehicles: the "vehicle" class, which mean stuff like paints and mods are shared even if helis/planes don't officially have mods, they still have paint customization. The game just doesn't allow you to customize it, It's just an unintended feature.
Just like in GTA 5, the train can't be customized, but with a trainer, you can enter the locomotive, and apply paint jobs to it ! Again, an unintended feature, just because the Train use the same shared class "vehicle" car, bike etc... use aswell !
TRAIN TRAINNNNNN
cHOOO CHOOOOOOO
Saints Row 2 is so good that even it's glitches are cool
It’s number one in the hood G!
cool glitch that bricks your copy and possibly even your xbox
@@user-wp4uv1lt9x Don't lie bro, that's cool 😎
TEN YEARS, oh my god... Time flies doesn't it? I can't wait to find out the truth behind this urban legend after so long...
The Freezer can be seen on the PS3 version (digital at least, not sure about physical), but it does not crash the game. It simply dissappears after a few seconds.
The PS3’s shitty complex architecture was actually a countermeasure to the freezer all along. Thanks Sony!
@@lukeyskywalker1251no wonder why I prefer PS3 over PS5
The freezer was us the whole time, what a twist
Playing Saints row 2 story right now its pretty fantastic. These games are good to revisit
it was just the angry forgotten cousin of distant human, distant terrain.
This would make for an interesting indie horror game. All of a suddon a figure appears and your game crashes. Then when you boot it back up its cursed.
Look into IMSCARED - one of the indie horror OGs, and all-time greats.
‘Imscared’ full release would like a talk
@@dray1195 I had a feeling someone had already done it lol
bro wake up mrsaintsGOATzilla came back
AJ playing "FURRY LOVE" 😂
I am dying of laughter haha
@@Nibbles69 xD that's AJ alright
Always great to see another upload man, love seeing these types of investigation videos.
4:54 Jumpscare
Glad to see you're still with us. And the reboot would have been so much better if you wrote the script. That ending got more of a laugh out of me than every "joke" in the reboot combined.
Actually I wrote that script lol. Hola it’s me Fandub guy. 😎
The ending skit was made by King of Hearts. He plans to redub the entire game soon
I was literally yesterday checking if you uploaded the video, im glad after 10 years, we finally get a case closed.
Great video. This makes me remember that i found an easter egg in the game as a kid and as much as i looked it up i never managed to find it again. Even my brother was surprised about it.
In retrospect, doesn't it seem obvious that it was a shadow/lighting glitch caused by misloaded map chunks? To me, that always seemed like the most obvious answer.
4:03 I'm so glad this was covered by itself. I vividly remember playing SR2 as a kid and I was in an indoor section when one of these low poly pedestrians in a red shirt walked right past me. I always thought it was some "ghost" easter egg I encountered but never really gave the idea much attention, though watching these Freezer vids has always reminded me of it. Glad I literally have an answer to it now.
dude your my childhood, holly crap, glad to see this pop up again. that last little skit was the icing on the amazing decade long cake!
Opening up at work, gotta stock up the shelves on my own and I get this 20 minute video to watch while doing so? Thank you lord
First off, and as always, appreciate your work and content, always look forward to more. I'm excited to see ya bring this topic back, as it's something I'd been looking into off and on the past while now.
I was curious if anyone had tried finding The Freezer on the Xenia Emulator, so I started looking 'bout 2 months ago trying to find it.
My theory going in was that the 360 would overheat, or run out of memory, and on Emulator I can bypass some of the second and all of the first. Given the engine for this game is explicitly chaotic, a new environment might give some more clues.
While I didn't spot him anywhere in my recording session, I did experience a pretty big spook in that underpass section, the zombie music started playing, my frames started dropping, but nothing happened after getting high enough out of there. I'm pretty sure when you're low enough and are in specific areas, it loads the zombie section in some manner, causing freezes on certain consoles. For me, it was like it had enough resources to load the level, but couldn't crash. Very interesting.
Really think it's worth exploring emulator using separate versions and regions with different settings, it's less about these "found footage" searches and random spottings, but instead about discovering more and getting something to easily replicate. Knowing the root cause helps the most in documenting something. All we really seem to have is that it's disc/360 exclusive, I'm trying to see if it's possible that's somewhere more accessible and likely easier to replicate.
All this to say, does anyone have a document or somewhere that really covers everything we know about The Freezer? A well sourced wiki? It'd also help to know what versions of Saints Row 2 exist, and how different each region could be, gonna try those too eventually. Any triggers like lighting changes, or interior to exterior loading, or audio loading, whatever it might be, if ya'll got some ideas, I'd appreciate the help. I'm no technical expert but I'm curious enough to put the effort in. Doubt anywhere else would take this seriously so shootin' my shot here.
i have to look twice is it realy a new video glad u are back
Glad you’re still around man and glad you documented the freezer so well. I’m also glad you’re still covering saints row!
Great video. I would love to see the Mehrman debunked. With Saints Row 1 & the Demo being playable on pc and all kinds of mods it should be do able.
13:41 that’s a Warhammer 40,000 space marine dreadnought
I'm glad your still making saints row videos mrsaintsgodzilla! you've been in the community for a long time and you still make videos to keep it alive
HELL YES!!! I love your videos and anything SR2 related. For some reason I really enjoyed the final fandub part with the Reboot. The writing and jokes are awful and boring in the OG game, but this fandub was really entertaining! It just seems really refreshing and actually promising. The humor is spot-on and it feels like despite all of the mistakes that happened with the reboot, there's still some good to be taken from it. Once this fandub comes out, I'm gonna pretend the fandub characters are the canon ones, because I can and most of us will definitely agree. Good luck with your projects!!
(btw that moan jumpscare ALMOST got me, i'm so glad i was watching with barely any volume teehee)
i gotta hand it to you, 10 years later and im still not entirely sure if the entire thing is a very elaborate inside joke or a real thing that happens, all the freezer videos have so many indicators to the whole thing being a joke including this one, and yet they are still serious enough to believe it to be a real thing
the freezer is not a joke, and if you watch through this video fully he explains the most likely theory, to the point that the mystery is unofficially solved.
Ayy
@@DivineXPotato see i dont deny that it exists in some way, but the thing that i still struggle to understand is how it manages to break entire copies of the game, and the fact that its so hyper speciffic on how to encounter it (speciffically needing an early 360?)
I personally don’t think it’s real. The idea of it breaking games seems like some creepy pasta type idea. Fun to think about though
Any updates on the NDA video? I'm excited to know what you were shown/told
Felt like i was tripping scrolling the comments and not seeing someone mention this! Great video hopefully clears more space for the big one? If its coming
I've been made aware of what the freezer is like a few minutes ago, I found your video from 10 years ago first and then clicked on THIS video to figure out more and realized that you made the video not too long ago which is wild
I have to say Mrsaintsgodzilla21. This was such an awesome documentary of the Freezer here. For ten years this freezer has scared the entire saints row 2 fan base for long here and now we get a great investigation from you here. Thanks mrsaintsgodzilla21. You cooked well here with this video. Well done. 10/10 mrsaintsgodzilla21 ♥ 🐀
Man your a braver person then me, I could not imagine ruining my SR2 disc for science.
Wait so the freezer was just us all along? What a twist m night shyamalan would be proud
The QUITE LITERAL Stand of Saints Row 2.
YESSSSSSS IV BEEN WAITING
This is so awesome
Interesting that that “cloaked spinner” at the ZU prompts in the airport was in the 360 version as well. Since one of my go to interiors is Wardill I always noticed that. Not sure what that’s supposed to be, my guess is the minigun’s barrels spinning at full firing speed with some kind of transparent shader applied. You can also see it at 6:19 on the right side of the popcorn machine. Seems like it’s only tied to prompts attached to food machines, since one doesn’t appear at the location at the mall, another one of my go to interiors. And I didn’t see one in your footage of the Science Center footage. Great vids!
Replaying Saints Row 2 once again recently just netted so much fun for me. It still holds up strong. Been on this journey with you since 2017 and it feels good to basically wrap it up. I thought about looking for him myself but hey… I don’t feel like buying a new SR2 copy right now
With Dead Rising getting a remake I hope other studios will take notice when a fan base is listened to so much it can revive a dead series even momentarily.
We’ll just have to see
Crazy but so interesting i love this series
Hesitate!!! I miss you man I haven't seen your videos in forever hell yeah 🤘🏻 today is a good day and keep the amazing work
This was such an amazing production, everything from the script to the editing. Great job 🤝💜
I wondered for years why my 360 copy of saints row 2 wouldnt work, this is why i actually remember messing with the low gravity cheat and getting out the map on zombie uprising, good job i got it on ps3😂
13:41 That's a dreadnought from Warhammer 40k! What the hell is it doing in Saints Row?!
Just chilling
I dunno, what's the lancer assault rifle from gears of war doing buried in the code of demons souls for ps3? How do any of these assets from completely unrelated games keep showing up where their not supposed to be?
103 minutes in Furry Love huh. Not too shabby
Hey MrSaints Apologies if I may of missed it in the video but what is the explanation for the disc being in a glitched state on the old Xbox and not the new ones. And no I’m not talking about the Xbox hardware itself. It seems odd that the “glitched disc” itself only affects older Xbox’s and not the newer ones. Like surely the newer Xbox must encounter some bugs or glitch state that is what a broken copy is right?! This is insane to me.
Funny, i never heard of the freezer after all these years i've been playing SR2 on my old Xbox 360. Never meet him or crashed my game. What a luck i got.
But for real, the more i hear these infos, the more would be fun to make a spiritual successor of SR2 and the whole franchise.
The way the freezer just pops up and stands really scares me lmao
13:41 That's a 40k dreadnought.
This reminds me while replaying the first mission in Saints Row 2, my Original 360 red ringed. Then after I unplugged it and turned it back on it fixed itself.
Still have that og 360 to this day, don't even have a newer slim model.
You aint shit for that ending brother beside that nerve racking ending good video so the freezer is nowhere to be found on the xbox one
I was waiting for this to be uploaded :3 I love your videos bro!
Imagine creating a game with a built-in creepypasta by accident.
I can remember the first time I heard about this literally scared me so bad I didn't play SR two till the dubstep Saints Row came out, but looking back it's not that scary it's just very interesting now...
ten years! thank you for taking us on this ride!
i'm not so well-versed in the technical side of things, but what got me thinking is why would the Freezer appear in that multiplayer map? i get that it's the only one that has Zombie Uprising in it, but since you don't actually enter Zombie Uprising at any point, you don't load an additional Zombie Uprising map that would then lead to a memory overwrite - so why would the Freezer still appear and still cause crashes even if there's theoretically nothing to trigger it?
i would think that if the very presence of a Zombie Uprising spawn could lead to crashes, it would have to mean that the Zombie Uprising spawn itself could somehow lead to a memory overwrite - and i'm curious as to why it would do that, since the very presence of the spawn does not entail the loading of any additional map (at least as far as i'm aware), and as such shouldn't lead to a memory overwrite.
also, if the Zombie Uprising spawn is enough to make the game crash in that multiplayer map, why doesn't it do the same in freeroam where there are already these glitched Zombie Uprising spawns in addition to the existing intended ones?
idk, i'm not familiar too much with this stuff but it just got me thinking, maybe i understood something wrong - if any of you have any answers please let me know! why would a Zombie Uprising spawn cause crashes in the multiplayer and why wouldn't it do the same in freeroam?
I don't think the MP map was supposed to have that prompt, it was supposed to only be there in the single player.
Maybe when the devs were removing some of the extra secret content from the game, they disabled this location incorrectly, so the zombie uprising assets from under the crib are loaded into memory when you are on that MP map by accident.
It seems like each of these locations with prompts were going to have their own zombie uprising map, but they all had to be removed and only the one under the crib is left in the game.
Just played and finished Saints Row 2 recently, what an absolute unique banger of a game
Please get a sponsor the videos you make are really well made!
If Saints Row 2 ever gets a remake, I'd love an actual freezer enemy easter egg. Just without the disc breaking.
14:02 wtf is that. It's not the loch ness monster from the islands is it?
What’s up with that clip at the end? I can’t find it anywhere.
That ending, was fantastic! Absolutely brilliant.
I had a similar broken map chunk glitch on my OG 360 with a copy of Oblivion. Chunks would load incorrectly, being replaced with an exclamation mark inside a red triangle. It popped up after doing the Mace of Doom trick by deleting the Wizard's Tower DLC. It was fun messing around with it, but it completely borked up my 360/Disc of the game. It's interesting seeing this issue with another game; I always thought it was just caused by Bethesda's spaghetti code.
Awesome to see saints row 2 still alive love the game first 3 are my favourite’s
I'm out of town with super dodgy data rn, but as soon as my Wi-Fi is back to 5g you KNOW I will be back to binge this whole video 💪💪💪
Gonna support ya SaintGodzilla!
i remember trying to find the freezer when i saw your video but i got too scared to brick my game
Babe wake up, mrsaintsgodzilla21 uploaded.
Wait. So The Freezer is actually just the player’s shadow but glitched? Wow.. what a plot twist.
Well, I'm convinced. Still, I'll likely still lie awake at night and wonder... what if?
Oh wait do we not remember how to paint the helicopters, I remember doing it all the time along with the night blade car. Off the top of my head it had something to do with customising a specific truck and existing the menu to pick another car, heli or tank and it will let you change things. I remember changing the rearview mirror on tanks.
LOVED the video man just an awesome and amazing project it is. Also glad your back to making videos again as well 💙
P.s.
fuck you at the end of the video, my phone was on FULL volume 😩
The freezer and it's effects are similar to a copy I have of the game that has a ring on the disc from knocking the Xbox over while it was in 😅 but those weird like chunk errors that soft lock you always bring back that memory.
YEAHHHH MORE FREEZER
The ending 💀
volition dev builds could still have those secret levels in them
Saints row 2 is such an amazing game
That even it accidental glitches are amazing
It's like a creepypasta that actually exist and it actually creeps you tf out
Dear God, he did it..
im so happy right now this is exactly why i subscribed
On Xbox 360 if it kills the disk that doesn't make much sense considering you can't write data on game disks so how can it kill it? I'm curious what would happen if you were to download the game while using the disc as a license to play it, I'd imagine it would work fine considering it's no longer using the disc as data.
I remember a few months ago I was playing on the ps3 and I somehow glitched underneath the map in a vehicle and couldn’t pull up the pause screen or anything. I could only rev the car. Not get out or pause or anything. This game is definitely intriguing.
Saints row 3 could've had a freezer reference in the video game sequences against Matt Miller, that would've been really funny
The freezer made me scared to stop playing the zombie mini game on my digital version of the game
I wish the Freezer was one of antagonists in Agents of Mayhem. He would have been a tough boss
4:55 my guy has been playing some spicy games right there 😂
16:34 lmao what a setup
Yo fuck that outro btw
Nice vid tho ( •_•)b
You can blame that whole last 4 minutes on me 😂
That song was fire lowkey
i used to see the distant peds in the hideout as a kid and it made me avoid going back there😭.
The backrooms in the mall always creeps me out like something is watching you the entire time
Can you do a video on the giant octopus Easter egg
Obviously, the freezer is a subtle foreshadowing on Volition's part, which only finally had a payoff with the reboot. This was letting the players know how Volition wants to kill off the Saints Row games. Very big brain stuff on their part
I love the meta joke of the Zombie Uprising guy destroying the Zombie Uprising machines.
17:00, Those noises... they sound so familiar and yet I can't remember where they were from...
didnt even know the freezer was a thing until now lol
it has some huge creepypasta potential ngl
