The team at Volition is delivering yet another slightly surreal trailer for its new Saints Row 4, which focuses on the capabilities of aircraft in the game and their ability to crash into characters.

There's nothing much new in term of gameplay in the Saints Force One video, but the virtual reality that the game inhabits is put to good use in its final seconds when an airplane is used to deliver the last hit to a character.

Saints Row 4 will be launched on August 20 on the PlayStation 3 from Sony, the Xbox 360 from Microsoft and the PC.

The game will see players start out as President of the United States before aliens invade and the entire cast of the game gains access to superpowers.

It only gets weirder after that.
