THQ and Volition have released a new auto-update for Saints Row - fixes some multiplayer issues and adds 4xAA and V-Sync.
The new update will download and install when you next load up the game, and according to Volition should fix up all the lag problems players have been experiencing. There are also fixes for several known exploits, including clothes stealing.
If you're someone who has been making use of some of the fixed exploits then you'll be sad to hear that you won't be able to play online again until the update is installed, so you better say goodbye to your days of clothes stealing.
Also with the update comes some new in-game visual enhancements and tweaks. For 480i and 480p modes, the game has been patched to run with 4xAA instead of the usual 2xAA, so you should notice less jagged edges. There's also a new option to enable v-sync in both cutscenes and gameplay. This should eliminate screen tearing, but will have a detrimental affect on the frame rate - it's your choice.
Original Saints Row design director Chris Stockman has declared the Saints Row franchise is "dead".
I just started this game last night, just the player creation had me upset. You choose male but they stand like a female. Eyebrows are all effeminate, face, and verything seems to be modeled after a female with a thin male overlay.
I only played the opening and didn’t even complete that before I turned the game off. I will likely go back and try it again, but a very weird first impression.
The franchise has been complete utter garbage for almost 20 years. The first one was the only decent game of the lot of them.
OMG Thank you! Never understood how people raved about Saints Row like it was GOATED.
Honestly Janky Generic feeling titles with Humor that tried to way too hard. People criticize Borderlands for its humor, but holy hell, still leagues better than any SR.
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
Please not made in fortnite graphics by whiny petty developers who argue on twitter this time
It always boggles my mind how developers like these get their hands on well known IPs and completely butcher it into a terrible mess.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
Give it up guys....make Red Faction 3, or close up shop.
Haha you should play it, nothing out there like this at the moment!
Playing with V-sync turned on is great. And despite the warning about it affecting framerates, I haven't noticed much of a difference.
Every game with tearing probs should have this option.
BAD-BOY game!!!!!!!!! standard
the only MAJOR flaw it had was to do with the laggy online debacle(waiting in the lobby for 15mins just for a game)!!!
apart from that, (and not being able to get on any bikes) the games SIK!!!!
the soundtrack alone gives you goosebumps!!!
THAMMER- when your back on SR holla bro!!!!
