Saint's Row Interview

We have seen games like the Grand Theft Auto series along with the True Crime series and Driver: Parallel Lines explore the crime action game with the open world gameplay theme. Now developer Volition and publisher THQ will be bringing the genre to the next generation console in the next few months with Saint's Row, an exclusive for Microsoft's Xbox 360 console. FiringSquad got a chance to chat with Volition's lead designer Chris Stockman to find out more about their plans for Saint's Row

Just something to keep us busy until we get GTA4, since we will get it before you.

Why bash the 360, this game is for fun not to drool over the graphics. It is a big step up from the GTA series graphics wise.

BIadestarX7194d ago

This kid/child is going into every 360 post and posting negative comments about them. This is what happens to people when envy is killing them inside because they can't afford a 360. Kid coming here and seen all the hot stuff coming for the 360 will make things worst. I recommend you to avoid 360 sites and go back to your little corner and wait till Sony or Nintendo drops you a bone.

Saints Row director is pitching a prequel that gets 'back to the roots of what made SR entertaining'

Somehow, Saints Row returned. Well, kind of. In a giddy post on the Saints Row subreddit, a lead on the original game in the Saints Row series announced that someone, somewhere might be interested in firing up Volition's (RIP) open-world crime games once more.

OR ...
remake the first one but 1:1, very minimal changes ~ QoL changes that are necessary or beneficial

PhillyDonJawn104d ago

If we wanted the same game we'd go play it.

Please not made in fortnite graphics by whiny petty developers who argue on twitter this time

Goodguy01104d ago

It always boggles my mind how developers like these get their hands on well known IPs and completely butcher it into a terrible mess.

YodaCracker104d ago

Twitter? I think you mean Bluesky.

Lexreborn2105d ago

My problem is I’ve played all of them but probably collectively an hour a piece for each. Never really got into them and always got them on discount. I wonder if that’s just the general consensus on this game. Because doesn’t feel like any of them are really worth it

JEECE105d ago

To me Saints Row is one of those series that got a foothold in people's minds because the first game was in the right place at the right time (I'd put Dead Rising in the same category). In 2006 when the original came out, people were desperate for new games to play on the 360, and people were not nearly as burnt out on open world games as they are now. So the first one filled a void and served as a showcase for a new console that people were very excited about at the time.

Lexreborn2105d ago

I think the funniest thing to me was the Pecker sword in 3 but overall 3 was a pretty terrible game. I tell myself I want to go back and retry the remake of each version and I just don't feel like taking it to 1080p is going to change a pretty mediocre game at it's core

ZycoFox105d ago

Get rid of the regenerating health, or only have a certain food type that regenerates health a bit. Regenerating health + food seems a bit much but just IMO.. I always found that a bit stupid.

1nsomniac105d ago

The first Saints Row was the only good game of the series.

Highly underrated GTA 5 rival is cheaper than a McDonald’s meal on Steam

The wait for GTA 6 is painful, but for less than $6 you can pass the time with the overhated Saints Row reboot on your Steam Deck right now.

This was free on something at some point, so I decided to check it out. It's definitely properly rated.

Here I thought I'd never have to be reminded of that slop again

Concord and the Other Biggest Flops of This Generation

Some of the biggest success stories in the history of gaming have happened during this generation of gaming. At the same time, some of the biggest flops in the history of gaming have also happened during this generation of gaming. To this end, a few games particularly stick out as, unfortunately, disastrous flops for those who made the games, sold the games, and ultimately, for many that played the games.

What a strange, short list. There have been many more games that arrived DOA, were never released, didn’t make their budget back, etc. Why cherry pick these games? Is this list based on the size of internet hate boners?

EternalTitan527d ago

These flops have a similarity that you may not be allowed to point out.

Skull and Bones gets my vote, at this point just completely remake AC Black Flag. If the Concord developers had made the game free to play, and toned down the in your face messaging via the mods and design choices, this game could have been serviceable eventually. I never understand why pandering to 5% of your audience and giving the finger to the other 95% seems like a good idea to these people. They never seem to learn. Disney has lost 1/3rd of its value and they keep doubling down on political messaging. I don’t get it.

BlackTar187527d ago

Some of these companies are paid huge amounts of money to do this stuff. They get truck loads of money to give “the message”
By blackrock and vanguards and multiple other venture capitalists even though it’s been proven over and over they fail.
