Working with THQ and Volition, IGN secured a two-pronged exclusive that gives gamers an unparalleled in-depth look at the making of its urban mayhem game, Saints Row. Created as a 3D, open design game in the style and structure of Grand Theft Auto, Volition takes the genre, gives it a next-generation look and feel and brings a fully-fledged and unprecedented online component to the genre.
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.
This Allen guy votes lame on every 360 post!! I wish Allen would post so we know why he thinks all the 360 articles are lame... Anyway this is gonna kill GTA until the new GTA comes out!! The game is developed by the same guy who developed GTA so its gonna rock!!
Can,t wait to get my hand on the final version, this will be a most buy for me %100.
This paragraph makes me very nervous with respect to the final results:
The emphasis on open world gameplay was always there. We wanted to develop a game that was less linear than most and gave the gamer a great deal of freedom. We initially wanted to forego any type of story for the sake of freedom, but decided after a while that gamers would still want a story arc and story elements, and would feel lost without them. This was easier said than done. We gradually came up with the four storylines and the concept of Respect unlocking Missions. We spent a good deal of time defining the Activities: how they interacted with Respect, how you triggered them, what kind of progression they offered, etc... This part of the Design was ongoing through most of the cycle.
Look at the verbage used! The fact that they gradually 'pasted' a story onto the existing game may end up killing this game entirely. I love open ended play, but if the story is a$$, what is the point?
Who care about storyline once i got missions to do im ok and also online multi player will keep this game going untill GTA next gen comes out.
Playing this game online will just be mind blowing. Can,t wait
just thought you should know, it's the Crackdown developer (Real Time Worlds- David Jones) who had past experience in GTA. Volition's Saint's Row staff and all branches of THQ have never had experience in GTA, it's just a new unique product for them all...
