Saints Row IV was announced today and will releas in North America on August 20, 2013 and August 23rd worldwide.
Take note that this date is 5 weeks prior to the release of Grand Theft Auto V, meaning that Deep Silver and Volition are indeed going for blood against GTA in open-world crime sandbox. It may not be a great idea to pitch Saints Row against GTA compared between the sales against the two, considering how huge of a franchise GTA is. Let's take a look at why.
The GTA 5 Agent Trevor DLC episode could have been a real treat for fans on PlayStation and Xbox, before it was scrubbed sometime before 2017.
With the amount of money they generated, I just don’t understand the scrubbing of this. It would’ve been fantastic for fans.
I really want to know who drove the decision to focus on multiplayer was it Rockstar or take two.
Because when online started taking off many of the studio leads began having falling outs and leading including a founder
One of the reason I believe once gta 6 release, most of us thoroughly play it, enjoy the world they crafted then after that no offline support, no dlc at all
Grand Theft Auto V was released on PC on the 14th of April 2015. That means the game will be nine years old in four days, and it’s still among the most-played titles on Steam. With a 24-hour peak of 145K players, it’s as popular as Baldur’s Gate 3, Apex: Legends, and Destiny 2.
The freedom to explore large areas, approach objectives in multiple ways, and stumble across amusing distractions will always be an excellent format for video games, but some do it better than others. To celebrate the formula and parse the best from the best, have a look at the best open-world games of all time so far.
So Saints Row "IV" shouldn't be released so close to GTA V because of sales numbers from previous titles? =/
People said the same thing about Battlefield 3, when it released ~2 weeks before Modern Warfare 3. Looking at numbers, Battlefield 3 has held its own and did a great job with its biggest competition.
The only way Saints Row "IV" will flunk is if the final game does indeed look as it did in the trailer because let's face it, we saw a trailer for Saints Row: The Third with an edit to show "IV" instead. It is everything that should of been in the third game, so numbers should be the least of anyone's worries as to why it is a bad idea to release close to GTA V.
Look at the time between releases. That alone tells you which one is going to outdo the other.Rockstar release quality, THQ and Volition were looking for quantity and it looks like Deep Silver are taking a page from the book of THQ and doing the same thing.
They only thing I'm going to say is it may be to early to release saints row 4 but maybe not maybe this one is better than saints row 3.as far as grand theft auto5 that is a stright winner hands down saints row has no chance against grand theft auto 5 they should've waited alittle longer for saints row 4.
I think it could be good, might be during an 'open world' craze that's yet to come or something. Might help boost sales, if they're all tightly packed together. I'm sure RPGs before the release of Skyrim and after it got more attention because of the hype for it.
Do you think they care? It was originally DLC and it is clear to see that it is just a ****** cash-in before the vastly superior GRAND THEFT AUTO V is released. Avoid this joke of a game.
as lazy as the developers are who make this game, they could probably release a game twice a year!! Saints row 2 to saints row 3 consisted of LITERALLY, the SAME vehicles, names models etc. Slight graphical upgrade but nothing new or really added to the cars inventory. Missions and mini games were almost like they were also ported from the previous game. Stores, clothing were all the same... It was such a let down. Will PASS on anything else from them. Clearly, they've peaked
