How has the series evolved and looking at previous installments, what was most important to keep in mind for this fourth installment?
What was the transition like from THQ to Deep Silver?
What are some of the differences between working with THQ and working with Deep Silver?
With Saints Row 4 coming out, what do you guys see yourselves doing after the game has been launched?
Do you think your studio is more focused on doing the same types of games like Saints Row?
What type of feedback on Saints Row 4 have you received from people outside of the studio?
As far as next-generation, what does that mean to you as a developer? What types of things do you think you'll be able to do with the new systems?
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.
When it comes ranking the Saints Row games, there are a couple of weird ones you have to consider, though this is Saints Row after all.
Juan at SwitchWatchTV got his hands on Saints Row 4 Re-elected for Nintendo Switch. Check out his review here and see what he thinks.
SR4 has not evolved at all...it's basicaly DLC which has been worked on more and made to look like a full retail game.
Basically Volition squeezing out another game for more money before this gen comes to an end this year.
It's set in the same city with nothing new added but more gimmicks
