Rockstar should buy it and make Saints Row 4 XD

iamnsuperman4109d ago

Ha no. Rockstar isn't the same company is was. They have matured a lot

Who ever gets Saint's Row please still make the thing ridiculous. I don't want it turn GTA nor do I want GTA to turn Saints Row.

LoudHawk4109d ago

Well, they would be buying Volition Inc. so it would be the same people who would be making it.

NYC_Gamer4109d ago (Edited 4109d ago )

No,Saints Row should be bought by another 3rd party and continue to be competition...R* have enough sandbox franchises and i'm sure they are creating a brand new one sooner or later...

Sad to see this happen to devs

BlaqMagiq244109d ago

So Saint's Row and Red Faction might fall into the hands of Ubisoft huh?

Darth Stewie4109d ago (Edited 4109d ago )

The sale occurred already but not info on who won the bids were released yet.

I'll be OK if Ubisoft keep most of the franchises.

Hey Ubi, here's a gun, don't shoot yourself in the foot.

*Ubi takes gun, aims at foot, empties clip*

At this point, only dummies have any hope left for Ubi-junk games.

Every industry has these issues

Some companies I’ve worked for were great and some were toxic as hell (UPS when I was a teenager was extremely toxic and I have heard it still is) It all starts at the top. They either hold people accountable , set standards and treat people with respect or the crap rolls downhill.
