GTA V is a pretty tough act to follow, but it does give THQ a chance to capitalize on its weaknesses.

I'm not a fan of Saint's Row, but I imagine a sequel would motivate Rockstar to do something else (provided a Saint's Row sequel is good, of course).

@XiNatsuDragnel

don't say it like that. you might jinx it to be another EGS exclusive

PhoenixUp2463d ago

RIP Agents of Mayhem and good riddance

micdagoat192463d ago

was it that bad? I never got to play it

LordJamar2463d ago

Please take the series back to its roots and be like saints row 2

Poopmist2463d ago

But 3 was the best in the series

sprinterboy2463d ago (Edited 2463d ago )

In your opinion.
You say that like its fact pmsl.

KyRo2463d ago

3 was the beginning of its down fall. They completely lost the plot after that. Tuned into something that was not saints row at all.

micdagoat192463d ago

I liked One and Two better than any GTA

porkChop2463d ago

3 had the best gameplay, but the story got way out of control. They need to reboot and go back to the roots.

2 was definitely the best man, sure there are some more epic missions in 3 but the story was so tight in 2, 3 had a really crappy story I infact just beat it yesterday once again. saints row 2 was so good that id say it was even better than gta4, imo of course

Profchaos2463d ago (Edited 2463d ago )

I personally liked sr1 more than sr2 I felt like the performance issues and poor frame rates really hampered my enjoyment of the game when the first title looks and plays better than the 2nd it's a problem.
Also the story wasnt as interesting sr1 left you on a big cliffhanger but sr2 seems to have forgotten that and starts telling an irrelevant story.

I actually thought that Sr 3 and 4 were barely Sr games but they were still a huge amount of fun I actually enjoyed 4 the most even if it was a super hero style game

As for the comparison to GTA well the two are worlds apart in tone style and gameplay with GTA IV taking a realistic approach and pushing what was possible graphically at the time but sticking to a serious narrative Sr was still a charicature of San Andreas

King_Noctis2463d ago

A mixture of 2 and 3 would be nice. Just try not to go over the top crazy like in 4.

Enigma_20992463d ago

Saint's Row didn't care how silly it was, and that worked to it's benefit. But just imagine a new Saints' Row... on the Switch. Saints' Row wherever you go.... Shakedown Hawaii can only scratch that itch so much...

ocelot072463d ago

Didn't they just recently release a Saints Row game on the Switch and it was a bit of a disappointment?

micdagoat192463d ago

because it was 3. I would buy 1 and 2 right now

I would be interested in a Saints Row 2 Remake.

Alos8877d ago

I would agree... if the old Volition was still around to do it.

Abnor_Mal78d ago

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.

Huey_My_D_Long77d ago

You sound super weak to be upset by a character creator ngl

ChunkyMonk77d ago

welcome to your average n4g daily user lol

chicken_in_the_corn78d ago

I'm not surprised after the backlash and hatred the last one got.

1nsomniac78d ago

The franchise has been complete utter garbage for almost 20 years. The first one was the only decent game of the lot of them.

Huey_My_D_Long77d ago

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.

isarai_lee78d ago

Kinda dumb they asked for his pitch then ghosted him, the concept sounded dope

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.

RaidenBlack190d ago

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

PhillyDonJawn189d ago

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

jambola190d ago

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

Goodguy01190d 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.

YodaCracker190d ago

Twitter? I think you mean Bluesky.

Lexreborn2190d 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

JEECE190d 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.

Lexreborn2190d 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

ZycoFox190d 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.

1nsomniac190d 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.

CDbiggen427d ago

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