One of the endings in Gat Out of Hell is as follows:

Nah saints row was successful because of its heavy stylization of gang and gang violence and made it fun.

Fun Fact: SAINTS ROW 3 WAS SUPPOSED TO BE THE ABSOLUTE LAST SAINTS ROW
>>
I had a friend that was working on this, but recently quit. They've been telling me that the entire development has basically been one giant dumpster fire the entire way through and that the development team has basically been hemorrhaging talent over the last couple months.

Apparently, the game was supposed to directly tie in to the Saints Row universe, but corporate demanded all that get yanked at the last second before the reveal at E3. Because the team just recently had the lead art director quit, they weren't able to make new assets for the trailer in time, so they had to leave the Saints Row stuff in.

That's the reason they're being so coy on whether or not this game's tied in to Saints Row, the developers LITERALLY don't know if corporate is going let them tie it in or not.

It'll have clothing customization for the characters apparently, but yea it's kind of stupid that they ditched the fully customizable character idea for heroes.
Should have done something like you're a new hero recruit, and as you level up you customize what kind of hero you make
>>
I actually really enjoyed Saints Row 3 and 4. It has so many quality of life improvements that grand theft auto lacks that I found myself going back to Saints Row after getting frustrated and bored from Grand Theft Auto 5.

I might look forward to this, but the lack of character creation is a huge letdown.
>>
>>343431016
Why did the writing, story and jokes become so different in Borderlands 2? I don't remember 1 having the memes like 2 did.

>>343435910
Why did they try so hard to make Gat a beloved character? He's just bland, and I honestly never cared that much for him.

Are they still making an actual Saints Row 5 / Reboot, or is this their big project the entire team has been working on?
>>
>>343435998
They didn't by the time of 3, that's why he was just killed off screen.
However the fanbase adored him for his scenes in 2, which made him by far the most popular character.

Looks like a mobile game.

>>343435992
Anthony Burch. Google if you don't believe me.
Battleborn was written by his cuck buddy.
>>
>>343435398
No, the problem is that the developers are legitimately retarded and took the feedback the wrong way. People liked that SR was a more cartoonish GTA. It's still got a somewhat serious storyline but is able to have goofy shit to go with it.

So with SR3 the developers decided to go way more into the cartoon shit and started adding sci-fi elements like clones and shit and it was mostly garbage but could still be funny and had some nice characters so they went all out in SR4, dropped any pretense of being a serious gangster/crime game with moments of levity and just went full cartoon comedy with it. Sadly anyone who wants the older style of SR games is in the minority so it's just goofy cartoon shit until the series dies.
>>
>>343433092
>Muh GTA clone
>>
>>343436167
What the fuck are you smoking?
Volition has always been the one that made Saints Row games. If anything, THQ interfered a lot with 3 by making them have all the shitty dlc and telling them to make the story less dark than it was originally.
>>
>>343431016
If you didn't say that I would have thought it was made by gearbox.
>>
>>343436059
No idea, but it sounded like this was pretty much the only thing they had going. If they're working on Saint's Row 5 it's a long time off.

>>343435943
Like I said they dipped a while back, along with a pretty big chunk of the rest of the team.
>>
>>343436167
literally all of this is wrong

THQ fucked themselves by dumping all their money into the Udraw tablet. SR was the only thing remotely successful for them financially and not even that or bringing in Jason Rubin could pull them out of the massive fucking moneypit that was the Udraw.
>>
>>343436282
Saints Row 4 was great though.
It has by far the best gameplay of the series, the 2nd best city exploration, 2nd best story, best villain, 2nd best set of characters, 2nd best cutscenes, 2nd best customization etc.

It literally goes

SR2 >> SR 4 >>>>>>> SR >>>>>SR:TT > SR:GOH
>>
>>343436542
Can someone explain to me why THQ thought Udraw was the next big thing?
>>
>>343436373
i heard the original idea of SR3 (before that went with the cartoon shit) was that you were going to play an undercover cop and infiltrate The Saints. You'd have to make choices, and decide where your royalty lied and shit. Seems like a fun idea, to be honest.
>>
>>343436592
you forgot saints row: undercover, the best sr game
>>
>>343436609
it was a mild success on the Wii, so they thought they could grow that success exponentially by porting it to everything else

we all know how that turned out
>>
>>343436614
>Seems like a fun idea, to be honest.

Have you played Sleeping Dogs? Because it is a fun idea.
>>
>>343430757
One of the best things about Saints Row was the character creation. If they keep that I'm in. Hopefully these people are just side characters.
>>
>>343436768
>Have you played Sleeping Dogs?
Not him but I was hoping Sleeping Dogs would actually have choices to either be a cop or turn and become a triad leader.
>>
>>343433092
GAT out of hell gave me hope we'd get more "slightly more over the top GTA" but nope, jumped the shark and kept going.
>>
>>343436614
Nope, that was an idea for a reboot after 3.
The original idea for 3 was a super dark game with you going up against that one rich gang leader for the entire game (not to just be killed off in that lame scene 1/3 into the game). At one point Gat would be captured and you'd try to rescue him, but he'd be executed by one of the twin chicks in front of you as a form of motivation.

It was originally supposed to be the darkest of the series, but THQ said no because they thought it would scare off younger audiences. The story went through so many revisions in development that you're left with tons of nonsensical missions in a weird order, with certain people dying off screen or in like 2 second cutscenes.

>>343437151
The only time Volition has had bad writing was 3 really, and even that had funny moments from time to time.
Even the crazy out there writing of 4 was still very good and often humorous.

>>343437340
Squeenix. After a lot of feedback they cancelled it because they realized it would just flop, so better remove the developers in charge of it and move assets over for their next game.

>>343437421
The spin off, triad wars, was cancelled.
It was cancelled because they realize people wanted an actual sequel to SD. So that's likely what they're making now, with assets and story elements from TW.

Make a new fucking IP and retain the old one as well, unless you look like a dumbfuck when you have to retcon the shit you just created so you can make the moneybux.

>>343435843
1. It was revealed BEFORE E3, so that's strike one
2. You don't need an art lead to make assets, so that's strike two
3. They weren't coy at all, the man in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WbwcBvpD8nE outright stated that it was in a greater Saints universe, with the original trailer also dropping blatant VOCAL hints, so that's strike 3

I don't understand. I mean, graphics won't make a bad game good, I know. But they opt for a stylised look AND keep the textures blurry as fuck? What the fuck?

1 was a boring and unpolished GTA clone that was only notable for character creation.

2 was pretty good and it was much better at the time of relesse due to it being released side by side with GTAIV and it being much more fun focused than that game.

3 was just a much worse version of 2

4 can't even be called SR

He was part of the most memorable plot line in SR2 (the Ronin), had one of the most memorable scenes in the game (Aisha's funeral) and generally came off as fairly badass and a total bro for the MC.

So like everything else post-SR2 they ramped it up to goofy cartoon levels.

It's cute when tech demos like Crysis and Valve games use Windows default typefaces, but it's kinda sad when you use it on something that's primarily meant to be a game with identity.

It's also a shame to see good art, modeling, and animation wasted on such bad writing, directing, and editing.

That says more about the quality of the series overall than SR4 being good. It's a nice Crackdown game but it's not Saints Row.

This wouldn't surprise me. Deep Silver is a pretty shitty publisher known for constantly intervening with developer projects; it's the reason Techland stormed off and willingly gave up the Dead Island IP though they did work on the definitive ports so I guess they patched things up

I thought SR4 was great fun, even if the story was retarded.

Volition clearly fell in love with super powers.
>>
>>343452546
not really much more they can do with sr, honestly. once your thuggin' street gang conquers hell, there's not really anywhere left to go that'd be interesting and have believable threats. besides space, but they already did that.
>>
>>343442532
Yup, 2 was the best game in the series by a huge margin. It was ugly as hell and somewhat clunky, but I loved the mission design, all those customization options and the surprisingly good story and dialogue.

And even though 3 was clearly more polished if you give it a quick glance, it just sort of lacked the soul that 2 had.
>>
The game looks good to me. Nice action, large open world and I like the art style too. I think the issue is we don't know when it is coming out in 2017 or how bad the DLC jewing is going to be so it is hard to get excited about it. Personally I love it when they release big ass single player games like this.
>>
>>343452915
I would have liked it otherwise, but holy shit how cheap it was that they just copied the city from 3 directly. It felt more like a big expansion than an actual new game, which isn't exactly surprising considering the fact that it was originally supposed to be one.

They really should have put more effort in it when they decided to actually make it a separate full-priced game.

Hey Volition. Are you making FreeSpace 3 or a similar game?

No? then fuck off

Saints Row sure reached the point of "if it's not broken, don't try to fix it" with 2, after that they just dropped the ball because they thought that everyone wanted ebin over-the-top randomness and cartoony shit. Still annoyed by it.

Yes

The open-world crime genre doesn't improve by one-upping itself in craziness and story elements, it improves by increasing the amount of activities you have to do in the world before getting bored. See: GTA

3 was great and 2 was a trash GTA clone.

I don't play these games for the fucking story you dumb niggers. I play them for the cheats, mass murdering, and explosions. 3 offers that with style. You 1 and 2 fags can go suck a dick.

Not just that, but they copy and pasted the movement and powers from prototype. The bought out the people who made Prototype and just plonked the gameplay from it and thus the gameplay from Hulk Ultimate Destruction into Saints Row 3. Then they released it.

GTA clone except with slightly quirky humor
>SR2
Adds more personality to the cast,gameplay,characters and makes stillwater feel alive
>SR3
Polishes the graphics and gameplay of SR2 and wraps it up into full on madhouse of game

A suicide bomb against GTA V and the flashist way to end the series by jumping the shark but sticking the landing
But whatever your favorite is we can all agree that this is utter garbage
