Saints Row 4 rumored for August, Deep Silver talks “huge” plans for PAX East

Deep Silver has something “huge” planned for PAX East, and the buzzing on Twitter points to possible news on Saints Row 4.

Oh POO seriously! noooooooooooo brig it next gen too!

Root4073d ago

They should of just held this off for next gen and rebooted it

Nice clean slate since they now own the rights to the IP

If it's anything like SR3 though then it's a no buy from me, it's a shame because apparently that crazy over the top sounding DLC which was going to be in SR3 will be included in SR4 instead which is pretty depressing in my opinion

Get back to what made SR2 good

mttrackmaster384073d ago

Why? Saints Row 2 came two years after the first one. The only reason SR3 took so long is because Volition had to scrap 6 months of development time and they made a new engine.

ZeekQuattro4073d ago

That seems awfully quick but I'm not complaining. I loved The 3RD.

Hazmat134073d ago

i hope for PS3, 360 and PS4, 720. Enter The Dominatrix!

Bethesda & Xbox To Meet Up With Laid-Off Deep Silver Volition Employees

According to a LinkedIn post, Bethesda and Xbox Game Studio representatives will meet up with Deep Silver Volition employees.

shinoff2183224d ago (Edited 224d ago )

That's pretty cool, but didn't they just lay of 10k as a whole. Reportedly some from the gaming division even.

Confused in pa.

Sonyslave3224d ago

Yes they did , it the circle of life in the tech bizz.

blackblades224d ago

Circle of life of meh games

mkis007223d ago (Edited 223d ago )

This is called good PR. And an opportunity to hire veterans over scrubs.

phoenixwing223d ago

Not to call them scrubs but yeah some veteran devs are more welcome than others with less experience

Flakegriffin222d ago (Edited 222d ago )

You can hire veterans all day long but it’s the talent Microsoft lacks.

Zeref223d ago (Edited 223d ago )

It was mostly outside of gaming. Most of the game studios weren't affected besides 343i and Coalition from what I recall

Charlieboy333223d ago (Edited 223d ago )

But of course. Just look at the latest Saint's Row....that is exactly the level of quality and writing that Xbox strives for these days.

Aloymetal222d ago

Nope, like Redfall, Craig infinite

There u go. This is way more acceptable than buying up studios. Buy individual talent until you strengthen your already owned studios. 👏🏽

Volition's Saints Row 4 PC upgrade was meant to be a make-good, but it broke the game instead

Remember this year's Saints Row(opens in new tab)? Volition would probably prefer that you didn't, which might go some way to explaining why the studio recently decided to upgrade everyone's copy of Saints Row 4(opens in new tab) to its full-fat Re-elected Edition, containing all the game's story and cosmetic DLC and even introducing cross-play between Steam, Epic, and GOG versions of the game.

Unfortunately, that upgrade seems to have backfired, and players now report a myriad of bugs with their new version of SR4. Both the Saints Row Steam forums(opens in new tab) and subreddit(opens in new tab) are filled with players complaining of broken saves, crashes, and mods failing to function. It's also received a few hundred negative Steam reviews(opens in new tab) since the update. If it's succeeded in washing the taste of Saints Row (2022) out of players' mouths, it's only because it tastes even worse.

I wonder if Volition's getting reorged under Gearbox impacted the quality of their release.

jeromeface495d ago

i can't help but laugh at this comment. Gearbox can't even run themselves.
