Volition: Saints Row does "fun gameplay" better than GTA

OXM UK: "Saints Row "excels" Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto for entertaining gameplay, according to Saints Row: The Third's lead designer Scott Phillips, but there's room in your life for both."

I think he should wait for GTAV before speaking this, since last GTA title came out 3 years ago. Alot has changed since than and GTAIV main focus was story and technology to get such big and detailed city work on consoles while Saints Row 1&2 were nothing but bugged mess. I'm not saying SR3 is bad game, but its a game coming out 3 years after GTAIV and it will not be compared to GTAIV but GTAV once its released and that won't end well for Volition.

SR is and always will be just a cheap diversion away from the real king (GTA).

Tomonobu Itagaki5305d ago

Considering how boring and bland was the last king, i'd rather play cheap diversions that are actually fun to play.

Laxman5305d ago

Actually, Saints Row got popular and sold well because it brought back gameplay that the last GTA was void of. Dont get me wrong, I still love the GTA series and had a good time with GTA IV, but GTA used to be about over-the-top action, wacky scenarios ans characters and most prominently, pure unadulerated fun - characteristics that have only been available in this type of game from the Saints Row series this generation.

Man In Black5305d ago (Edited 5305d ago )

Dude should STFU, SR3 is awful. Thing is, making everything crazy and over the top dilutes it all. It's better to have craziness in bursts, then it seems more awesome. As it is, it's like they're trying too hard. Funny how the trailers tended to focus on the stupid dildo crap. "Hurr hurr, we have a dildo. Please focus on this and ignore the fact that the overall game is worse than its predecessor. Oh yeah, and we cut out competitive multiplayer while also taking a giant dump on the story."

hennessey865305d ago

sr 1 and 2 were fun but three is just stupid, running on a shocking graphics engine.

ZippyZapper5305d ago (Edited 5305d ago )

Ok Volition we don't need another EA. Look how that tturned out for them.

LightofDarkness5305d ago

You mean better than ever sales and a solid market position?

I hate EA these days too; but, despite their inability to shut up and boastfulness, they've gained a lot of ground this year. People are buying the games. I don't like it, because they're being incredibly under-handed at every turn now, but nothing will change if their tactics appear to actually work.

ECM0NEY5305d ago

They are both great games. SR3 I laughed till I cried just creating a character with like 3 of my friends input. Good times. The opening scene is so over the top and just fucking cool!

Fishy Fingers5305d ago

I play and enjoy both for what they each do well. They're really not that similar, I've always found time for both anyway and probably will continue to do so, especially with heir staggered release dates.

Cant we all just get along.... lol

Slightly disappointing game but Wo Long had a good creator. I was impressed by Oblivion back in what 05, 06? But the worst i have ever seen, clearly, Valheim.

ModsDoBetter1129d ago

What was up with Wo Long?

Not looked at any reviews and did download it on my Xbox before I sold the console but never got around to playing it. Saw it drop in price on PS5 and was thinking of picking it up.

RE: Character creation

Oblivion hold a special place for me, when it came out on PS3, it was the first game of its kind that I had played and the character creator took was amazing.

I do like Monster Hunter: World & FFXIV, personally.
Cyberpunk did good in that department, despite its numerous flaws.

IamTylerDurden11129d ago

I played Oblivion day 1 on 360 and was impressed with the creator. Damn near 20 yrs ago, it was impressive at the time. Special game, unfortunately 90% of current gamers on social media have not a clue about the older stuff. Elder Scrolls is just Skyrim to many. They know not of Gothic and the old guard that paved the way. Flimsy ass rhetoric and recycled opinions about the same bs is what garners attention. Meme culture. Insight and intellect hold no place on the current day internet. Fuck likes, follows, BS. I say what i believe is relevant, what i'm interested in, and following means fuck all bc i don't respect 99% of the ppl online anyway.

For the "TLDR" bs. I'ma not space it out on purpose. Fuck you very much folks.

isarai1129d ago (Edited 1129d ago )

Honestly the one I remember being easiest and flexible enough to make any character I imagined was the PS2 WWE games, and Saints Row 2. I did really enjoy Dragons dogmas character creation too

EternalTitan1129d ago

Where is Black Desert Online?

IamTylerDurden11129d ago (Edited 1129d ago )

I was gonna mention Black Desert but the game is horrible so...

Creator was the best part.

bunt-custardly1129d ago

Lol CP 2077 is one of the easiest and less detailed editors around. It's all a mish-mash of presets.

The Suzuki Escudo Pikes Peak from the Gran Turismo series

Nissan Skyline from Need for Speed Underground

Motorcycle Steamroller from Dead Rising 3

And finally a car you never drive but saves your ass over and over : Honey Badger from COD MW2

Gardenia1233d ago

I was thinking of Mad Max. That V8 felt really good to drive around in, especially with upgrades.

dumahim1233d ago

No one liked the Batmobile in Arkham Knight. Top 10?

toxic-inferno1233d ago

I don't know... It was a strange addition to the game, and the parts of the game where you had to fight in it were tedious. But driving it around Gotham felt brilliant.

FFXIII-Snow's Shiva motorcycle
Persona 5-Makoto's Persona motorcycle
