Red Faction 4, Saints Row 3 confirmed in the works

Nick @ PS3Center writes:

This probably isn't going to surprise anyone, as THQ has talked about sequels to both games in the past, but Red Faction 4 and Saints Row 3 are both currently in production over at THQ. Word of games comes from the LinkedIn profile of an ex-THQ product manager.

Red Faction Guerrilla seemed like a very fun game from the demo. I spent most of my time breaking down buildings with a hammer. Of course, Volition promised that they had the most advanced destructible environments, but it was on the whole very unrealistic. Still, a very fun game.

I have never played a Saint's Row game. But it does look very fun. I'd say in many cases Saint's Row is underrated and GTAIV is overrated.

gaffyh5235d ago

Not too bothered about Saints Row, but Red Faction 4 should be good, Guerrilla was a decent game.

The Creep5235d ago

Hopefully they add gang support straight from the get go

Darkeyes5235d ago

Frankly Red Fraction Guerilla is one of my top multi-plat games this year along with AC2 and Batman. The game came out of nowhere as I just picked it up Used while traveling and really enjoyed it... The graphics are nothing to brag about and the story and cheezy and generic, but the game delivered on the thing that matters most and it was FUN.... Seriously breaking stuff never got old till the end and it created such a great game.

Still sad the online community died so early... This was one of those games where destructible environment created new maps each time, but people soon forgot and moved on.... The game really went under the radar for many people with Infamous vs Prototype crap going on...

For anyone looking for old skool FUN, GO BUY RFG, It's cheep.... Can't wait for RF4

ThanatosDMC5235d ago

RF:G was actually good. I just hope they add full co-op on the next one. I hope they dont F-up the 4th one like they did with the 2nd.

Government Cheese5235d ago

Saints Row 2 was awesome, was kinda buggy, and the vehicle physics were pretty bad. Hopefully they address these issues and make Saints Row 3 amazing.

Arnon5235d ago (Edited 5235d ago )

"Hopefully they add gang support straight from the get go"

That sounded so goofy.

I never played Saint's Row 2. I heard it was quite underrated, though.

evrfighter5235d ago

picked up RF:G on my PC randomly because I was bored.

Seriously had a good time. It did get repetitive but it lasted a lot longer than Assassins Creed.

edhe5235d ago

Saints Row2, especially in coop, is one of the most fun things i've ever played in my life.

Even just hooking up at the start of the session and showing off our custom rides was fun, nevermind the double-attack chopper sorties into enemy ganglands.

For SR3 i hope they increase the distances that they draw things at, it's still a bit repulsive to chase a car down a street only to have it vanish when you look away.

RF:G tech in SR3? could be a revolution.

I loved, loved, loved the RFG engine! Yes, it was kinda unrealistic(no way one man could bring down a building with a sledgehammer), but it was so fun!

I remember once I was being chased by the cops. I put mines on all the support pillars in this building, and ran all the way to the top of the building. Then once the enemies got up, a kept smashing holes into the floor til I got the the bottom, ran outside, and blew the whole place up! So fun lol

robotnik5235d ago

Saints Row 2 was very fun, much funnier than GTAIV. I hope they improve the graphic quality, because the fun factor was very high ( running around naked terrorizing people is one of the most bizarre things I have ever made... in a videogame of course).

kurochi5235d ago

I finished Saints Row 2 a couple weeks back and I can honestly say that I was upset at myself for choosing GTAIV first over Saints Row 2. It really was a blast to play and I had more fun with it than GTA 4 (which I think is overrated compared to Saints Row 2).

PLAYSTATIONGENRATION5235d ago

Saints Row 2 was much better than GTA4..

Blaze9295235d ago

Absolutely loved Saints Row 2 and loved how 100% of it was co-op. Had a blast playing through the whole game with my buddy. And the script was hilarious too. Remember that mission where the Ne-Yo song, "So Sick", came on and one of the characters started singing it? That was hilarious.

I definitely had alot more fun in Saints than GTA. Bring on Saints Row 3!

NYC_Gamer5235d ago

none of the past titles in these franchises caught my attention..

Taco_Waffle5235d ago

If they never caught your attention why did you take the time to post in a thread talking about them?

likedamaster5235d ago (Edited 5235d ago )

I would love Red Faction to go back to 1st person view. I appreciate games in 3rd person but prefer a more personal Red Faction like 1 & 2.

micro_invader5235d ago (Edited 5235d ago )

I don't think it would work very well with the amount of destruction going on, it would be hugely chaotic. Although chaos is usually fun, I'd imagine this would become frustrating because you wouldn't know where the hell you were or what was going on.

Plus, there's not enough TPS out there.

Saints Row - Where it All Began

Saints Row made its debut nearly 20 years ago, and while the game has aged its still worth playing on modern consoles.

banger8840d ago

Back when games had balls. Now they still have balls, but also lipstick and a dress.

kevco3339d ago

Or an angry purple streak in their hair to demonstrate they're a rebel.

SimpleSlave39d ago

And they claimed this place was one of the outhouses for Gamers™ and gamerGate Incels. Pfft! But look at bangerBro99's amazing display of Homo-eroticism. How far we've come.

So proud of you, bud. Now you go grab them balls and have all the fun. 👍

Outstanding!

PhillyDonJawn39d ago

They should remaster the first 2.

1nsomniac39d ago

I think the first one was the best in the series by a long, long way!

Demetrius39d ago

🥲🥲 someone needs to buy this ip and watch dogs, give those franchises a proper treatment sheesh

TheColbertinator38d ago

First 3 games were great. Then 4, Gat out of Hell and the Reboot were flimsy in comparison. Aliens, demons and a weak reboot in terms of intensity made the games forgettable.

Profchaos38d ago (Edited 38d ago )

But even 3 ventured into rediculas territory with zombies and stag. Zombies in 3 to me was just a hey you know what's popular zombies let's do that

TheColbertinator38d ago

The endgame of 3 did get stupid but the game held together at the end. 4 was just annoying all the way through.

Lmao wouldn't touch this mf rip off saints row if it was given to me, lmao I'm good still enjoying the real saints rows 1&2 someone should buy this ip n give it the real proper treatment

Gamingsince1981109d ago

I saw it was free and it still seemed over priced for what it was and didn't bother adding it to my library

RiseNShine109d ago

let the lesson be learnt, any more woke crap games will be sent to die, even more if they destroy a well loved franchise.

BlackOni108d ago

Contrary to your arbitrary argument, this game didn't fail due to "wokeness" lol.

phoenixwing109d ago (Edited 109d ago )

All I remember from this was I saw the news about how you can't make a well endowed female character and most of the settings don't help much with the female face. However they thought it was completely fine to let you make your character a toilet and went to great legnths to get it added. But yeah a dolled up female was out of the question.

HankHill109d ago

Attractive females are offensive in current year.

They are tracking 3.2M PS5 players. They say the Saints Row's PS Plus debut player count fell 23.64% short of the Battlefield 2042 PS Plus debut.

shinoff2183219d ago

I downloaded it to try but I was never much of a Saint row fan to begin with. If they re released the older ones I'd probably try them to.

jeromeface219d ago

its sad we live in an time where people seek out retro software vs playing whats fresh and new

shinoff2183218d ago

Jeromeface that's funny as shit. I've complained tremendously about ff16 and you know what I get told

If you want turn based go play the older ones.

Anyway I play new shit all the time. Had a blast with star ocean 6, tails of arise, ys newest games. But I can do both. Play retro and new stuff. Sad thing is alot of new stuff I find whack atleast alot of the aaa games , I'm not a huge fan of shooters,online games, online shooters and gatcha games and that's alot of the shit shoveled out.

There's still plenty of dope stuff coming out though

Baldurs gate looks good
Yakuza
Ys
Got a dragon quest some year
As much as I bitch about cyberpunk I'm looking forward to that dlc(hope it ain't broke)

It's refreshing to have a mix.

CrimsonWing69218d ago

@jeromeface

Um, that’s because the stuff from the SNES to PS3 era were way better than what we have now.

Publishers/Devs were willing to take risks and it wasn’t all about GaaS or monetization. Games felt like they were made with passion and not afraid to try things. Yea we started the whole DLC trend in 7th gen, but the most a season pass cost back then was $15.

The industry has really shifted and the whole trying to translate the mobile game model to consoles and all this talk about games being too expensive to make like a Baldur’s Gate 3 is depressing.

shinoff2183218d ago

Crimson looks like it's just me and you on that one. Alot of these most be people under 25 or something

TallDarknWavy219d ago

I really liked 3, although part 4 tried to be a superhero game and it was just dumb as shit.
This game is also dumb as shit as the writing is peak poor, there are no jokes that I'm aware of as I never laughed once, and it's glitchy and disorganized AF. The story makes no sense, as it's typical campy "Oh hey we're doing crazy things like killing people etc." but everyone is somehow super chill about the mass murder as if it's nothing. This is common theme amongst today's trash woke writers.

Vengeance1138219d ago

Everyone downloading to see for themselves just how garbage the game actually is, then they'll play a few hours and delete forever lol

dumahim219d ago

I add everything to the library, but I'll never get to it. My Plus sub ends in Dec.

ravens52219d ago

Me too lol. Black Friday is the only chance of me renewing. But I have all the games from when ps5 came out. Soooooo many ps4 games and a bunch of ps3 ps+ games. All soon to be gone cause fuck that $80. I'll just buy what games I want.

InUrFoxHole219d ago

That's one of the best features. Adding to library without having to download it

They're tracking just the ones who downloaded it not kept playing. These are people seeing if it's good.
How about report numbers of people who kept playing.

Saints row reboot was an embarrassment to the franchise and it killed the developer.

Elda219d ago (Edited 219d ago )

I played the entire game of SR & for me the gameplay experience wasn't bad especially for a PS+ game.
