GameZone writes, "Koch Media has formally announced the acquisition of intellectual property rights for Metro and Saints Row -- two of THQ's most beloved and successful franchises. Koch Media, the owner of Dead Island publisher Deep Silver, also acquired Volition, the Chicago-based studio responsible for the development of Saints Row and Red Faction. As part of the announcement, the company confirmed that Deep Silver will lead "all further development and marketing" on the Saints Row and Metro franchises."
Saints Row made its debut nearly 20 years ago, and while the game has aged its still worth playing on modern consoles.
Back when games had balls. Now they still have balls, but also lipstick and a dress.
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!
🥲🥲 someone needs to buy this ip and watch dogs, give those franchises a proper treatment sheesh
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.
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
The endgame of 3 did get stupid but the game held together at the end. 4 was just annoying all the way through.
Epic Games has just revealed the latest game made available for free for a day on the Epic Games Store, and it's Saints Row.
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
I saw it was free and it still seemed over priced for what it was and didn't bother adding it to my library
let the lesson be learnt, any more woke crap games will be sent to die, even more if they destroy a well loved franchise.
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.
The rebooted Saints Row on PS Plus has seen a huge influx of PS5 and PS4 players — enough to make it the second-biggest PS Plus Essential game debut of 2023.
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.
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.
its sad we live in an time where people seek out retro software vs playing whats fresh and new
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.
@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.
Crimson looks like it's just me and you on that one. Alot of these most be people under 25 or something
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.
Everyone downloading to see for themselves just how garbage the game actually is, then they'll play a few hours and delete forever lol
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.
That's one of the best features. Adding to library without having to download it
Replies(7)This is what most people do to even good games, including gamepass. Kind of funny when you think about it.
Replies(1)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.
I played the entire game of SR & for me the gameplay experience wasn't bad especially for a PS+ game.
Really dont know about them the games they have published so far have been mediocre at best including dead island.
R.I.P. Saints Row :(
"As part of the announcement, the company confirmed that Deep Silver will lead "all further development and marketing" on the Saints Row and Metro franchises. As a fan of those franchises, this worries me -- especially on the heels of the recent Dead Island Riptide Zombie Bait debacle which saw a bloodied, limbless female torso as a collectible bonus. I can only imagine -- and shudder -- with an idea of what they might have in store for Saints Row 4."
"Koch Media and Deep Silver will detail future plans for reach franchise "in the coming months." Until then, we hold our breath and anxiously await. The rest of THQ's assets have been auctioned off and purchased be other companies, which you can learn more about here."
Wait what? Does this mean no Metro in march?
Their response: "F*ck yeah moneys going to start rolling in".
Off Topic - Dead Island sucked.
Edit - Lol @ the quote in the article - "Deep Silver is perfectly positioned to lead these brands...straight into the ground".
Yeah I added the last little bit but that's what came into my mind when I read it LOL.
If they make Volition make the next saints row awesome like SR2 was then in my opinion this purchase will be a huge success. The third was the massive disappointment. SR is one of my favorite series of all time and the third was my most anticipated game ever at that particular moment. It was such a huge letdown. The craziness of the game got bland and repetitive pretty quickly. All I want is for Volition to go back to franchises roots by actually having a somewhat serious story
