When we reach the end of August, you'll most likely have a copy of Saints Row for Xbox 360 in your hands. THQ and developer Volition want you to tear up the virtual city of Stilwater with a host of gangs that aren't just your run of the mill punks (although they do look a little rough around the edges at first). In this multi-part series, of which the second part runs today, IGN will peel back the layers of depth, customization and control you'll have with Saints Row.
In this latest feature, IGN reveal Volition's deep vehicle customization (last they revealed character customization). In open-world games of this nature, gamers are constantly jacking cars, blowing them to bits, and jacking new cars. Cars are candy: a dime a dozen. You might like a particular vehicle over another one, but you may switch vehicles in a single mission three or four times. Volition's take on this scenario is to provide customization features to your favorite ride. Then, if the thing blows up -- and it inevitably will - you can buy it back from a car shop for a cheaper price than before. Kind of a cool deal. That way, you will always have the choice of driving your favorite set of wheels at any point.
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.
:D
Dam that looks way better than GTA car customization.
And i can,t wait to play it.
this game is going to be fun cant wait to get my hands on it.
this is very cool
